Would give a 5 for atmosphere , though it is a bit small; bar seating only. It's also quite overpriced in my opinion, particularly for Wallingford area- $16 cocktails. I will say bartenders were very friendly and were able to make me a fun "feeling lucky" drink. Street parking is available up and down the street with a public lot a 5 minute walk down the road. I would definitely come back

Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

There weren't many people there, although it WAS a Monday night. The food took longer than expected, not so much a big deal. I did enjoy that they used metal containers rather than styrofoam. I wanted the portobello mushroom burger but they were out if portobello mushrooms and the veggie burgers, so I got the chicken avocado, my friend got the Reuben. The chicken was small although seasoned well, it didn't fit the bun. My friend said the Reuben only had one piece of corned beef on it.

Although chilly in here, we had a nice time. My parents loved the food too which was great. Tonight I got the Arepa which apparently, I won't get again because it's the second time I've had it (not here the first time) and didn't care for it. The pulled pork on top was good though I just don't care for the dish itself. A bit bland. My picture unfortunately didn't come out good for that dish. My dad got the Panko Crusted Fish Sandwich and my mom got the nachos. They loved what they got. I've been in the past and had the pizza, the poutine, pork belly sandwich, etc. I'd love to try the crab dip and whipped ricotta someday. Fun spot.

The Vermont Burger came with candied bacon, Vermont Cheddar, BBQ Sauce, lettuce, red onion and pickle on Brioche. I ordered it medium rare, it was closer to medium well, but the meat was high quality and it was a sizable burger. The toppings were good. I loved the onion rings. They were the thick kind, and well executed. They offered salt and vinegar seasoning, which I had never seen before for rings. Very tasty. The vibe is kind of dark inside.

Of course they have their boozy espresso martinis and flights. The space is amazing with a huge bar, tables, booths, and outdoor seating. If you were a fan of Yellow King Brews before, get ready to love it some more. We were visiting Yellow King Brews next door, ordered some of their fall drinks, an iced Pumpkin Chai and a Bourbon Bee Nitro. These drinks are always a hit. The Carcosa area wasn't busy and we decide to have a late lunch (2pm). You could order the Carcosa food in the Yellow Kings Brews area, but the staff recommended to order within the Carcosa side to avoid confusion. There was only one staff member working the bar and that was where you ordered the food. We were able to seat ourselves in the lounge. This processes is very confusing, especially if it's your first time visiting. The vibe is very chill and casual. For appetizers, we ordered the King Pretzel--this is an item they always had and it's a must get every time. It's a large, warm, buttery pretzel that's perfect to share. They were out of the beer cheese dipped, but the chipotle aioli was so delicious. We also got a side a fries which were seasoned with a blend of spices that they called Carcosa seasoning. It was similar to Old Bay spices. I ordered the Yellow King Veggie Panini. The veggies were perfectly roasted; zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and mozzarella on an amazing focaccia bread. I used some of the chipotle aioli to put on my sandwich, an absolute game changer. My group also ordered the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Chicken Wrap that they enjoyed. There is a wide variety of food options on the menu and glad to see vegetarian options. Salads, sandwiches, wings, and they still have Zuppardis Pizza. Along with their wing offers, they have fried cauliflower. If you're adventurous, they have some wild and crazy wing flavors like Cookie Monster and Nutzilla. There are even a few dessert options like Affogato. I love that they use their coffee throughout the menu. If you are in the Wallingford area, checkout Carcosa for delicious bites and don't forget to grab a coffee.

"Imitator, intimidator, stimulator Simulator, eliminator"…read more(Eminem) If ten state of the art golf simulators are your stimulators, you'll love a visit to Back 9 Social. And your visit will not be handicapped by a lack of gastropub like food and drink. Their golf simulators are very impressive and combine radar and camera technology to faithfully recreate some of the best courses in the world, including St Andrews, Pebble Beach, and 120+ others. A professional organization I belong to held a gathering there last night and had a great time. We ordered and paid for our drinks through their big bar through a QR code, but you can still pay the old-fashioned way with cash if you prefer. We had plenty of their pizzas which were quite yummy. Our golfers had a blast and I should point out that although some of the other customers I saw actually brought their own set of clubs, Back 9 can hook you up with their clubs for men, women, lefties, righties, and kids. And of course, plenty of tees and balls to whack into their high-definition screens. The facility is gorgeous, the golf simulators were amazing, the staff was helpful and friendly, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

We completely understand that the facility has every right to monitor alcohol consumption and prevent inappropriate behavior. Nobody wants people getting sloppy or disruptive, and we respect that. However, there's a much more professional and respectful way to handle it than what is done. We are unsure of her name, but the female manager present made us uncomfortable as she was constantly staring at our group throughout the evening instead of simply communicating expectations directly. The alcohol restrictions are also entirely ridiculous- I specifically was told by the bartender that I was being watched for alcohol consumption after having 2 Coronas in a time span of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The restriction on alcohol itself is not the main issue -- it's the way it is handled. We have felt watched and punished despite the fact that nobody in our group was loud, inappropriate, or intoxicated on multiple occasions. I also want to note that the bartenders have been spectacular and are always very nice. This is specially about the manager and the way she acts towards paying customers. When you're spending over $200 on the simulator alone, a little courtesy and respectful communication would go a long way. We really do like this place, but experiences like this make us hesitant to come back.
