    Thinnest chicken quesadilla I ever did see. For 17$??????

    Got a chicken and cheese quesadilla. The price went from 11$ to 17$ after adding chicken. There was maybe half of a chicken tender throughout the entire quesadilla. I cannot believe it was 17$. Absolutely ridiculous. We also asked for guacamole and sour cream. Got salsa that we won't touch instead. We also got pickle chips. No dressing as a side. They are extremely salty if anyone is interested in getting them. Over 30$ for the 2 items. Overall, Pretty sad lunch experience

    It's definitely the spot for good eats and service. The bartender that was also serving us was so friendly and helpful. There's a full bar and a little lounge area with sofa seating in the front. There's bar tops and high tops as well. There's ample space in the dining area with booths and tables. Very tidy and clean. The flight of margaritas was delicious with different fruit flavors. Buffalo chicken dip was a great appetizer that could feed a few people. The grilled Cobb salad was AMAZING! I didn't know what dressing I wanted so I got the cucumber wasabi and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The cucumber wasabi was what intrigued me and it was so delicious. A hint of wasabi flavor but not too much to overpower the palate. I ended up enjoying it more than the balsamic vinaigrette. There was fresh cooked bacon, corn, eggs, grape tomatoes, avocado, cheese, olives and a beautiful mix of greens; all super fresh and delicious. I can't wait to return!

    First time, we finally got to The Spot, after hearing great things about the restaurant from friends. Our server, Aubria, was very attentive and friendly. I got the Reuben sandwich and fries. This is the first Reuben sandwich I've ever had that was not greasy at all, and exactly what I wanted. The corned beef was piled high. The sandwich could have used more sauerkraut, I couldn't taste it, but that was the only negative. The fries were cooked perfectly and hot. My husband had a hamburger (cooked medium) with American cheese, lettuce, and mushrooms. He said it was terrific and tasted like it had been cooked over a campfire, a good thing. We will definitely be back!

    Overpriced drinks. Food was good but bill was high. Service was good and the place was hip and clean

    Receipt from our visit

    $26 for a chicken quesadilla with a side of guac and fries is a bit ridiculous don't you think? I'm trying to support local restaurants, but it's pretty difficult to do so with these outrageous prices. The food was decent, but wait staffs attentiveness wasn't great and they forgot the fries that we ordered. Don't think I'll be going back.

    Rodeo burger and tots

    Food was awesome, service was great(thanks shea), but the prices were a little ridiculous for "bar food" , $19 for a rodeo burger with tater tots is excessive !

    I came here with my husband and mom for happy hour on a Thursday at 4:30pm. We thought there was a happy hour menu with drink and food specials, but learner that instead it's the all day menu. Luckily it didn't matter because of the good selection. Trish, our bartender, was so friendly and helped explain the drink and dishes and what was made in house. I was impressed at the amount of things homemade and the large cocktail choices. The Spot Old Fashion had a smoke infusion and the peach sangria not too sweet. They were also reasonably priced at $11 and $8 respectively. The Spot Tots were also great with the chicken and the bee sting sauce. Overall a great visit. Friendly people, good food and a nice vibe. I recommend a stop in.

    Is this place being run by the same management as the Tavern House Grill?

    I called the first week they opened and asked that question. A young lady replied that they were under new management.

    I got the opportunity to attend the grand opening of Audacity in Manchester, CT and here's how it…read morewent! (Sorry this is so late. Lol.) Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right downtown Manchester on Main Street is this gem where Lucky Taco once stood. It echoes the standard British pubs and taverns from across the pond with deep yellow lighting, woods, exposed brick walls and open floorplan kind of vibe. It was lively, energetic and welcoming! Service: Lara took excellent care of us and she was very helpful! I had no issues at all. Food/Drinks: On the table when we arrived was an Irn Bru which is a SUPER popular drink sold in Scotland, often beating Coca-Cola in sales. It tasted like orange licorice, but it was actually pretty decent. Our first appetizer was an order of Crisps which were like thick cut potato chips with some garlic parmesan seasonings which I actually enjoyed! There was plenty of flavor from each component involved. Next up was the 007 which was their spin on the martini James Bond orders! In it is Wheatley Vodka, Bombay Gin, and English Tea Infused Lillet Blanc. It tasted like a dirty martini and was pretty strong! Smooth as well. I enjoyed it. Next up was a dish called Toad In The Hole which is Yorkshire pudding stuffed with smoked sausage then topped with caramelized onions and gravy. I have never seen anything like this before, but it was so strange, but pretty decent! The Yorkshire pudding was a bit eggy and dense. The gravy was a must though, since the other components of the dish lacked the salt that I was seeking. Next up was the Cloth Of Gold Old which is an Old Fashion with a twist which contained Old Forester, fresh lemon and honey. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure why the mention of Old Fashion was on the menu unless this is supposed to differ from an "Old Fashioned". No matter, moving on. Next up were the Potato Pom Pom which are fired potato balls served with a house-made cheddar cheese sauce. It sounds like a simple dish. The cheese was thick, majorly cheddar-y. I really, really liked these! They tasted like a fancy tater tot. The potato inside was so soft and tender and the exterior was so crispy. My last drink of the night was the Bramble On Rose which is their take on a 1980's classic created in Soho, London. In it is Bombay Gin, fresh lemon, rose water and blackberry syrup. This was my favorite drink of the night. It was fresh, had some herbal flavors and the rose flavor made itself known. I really, really liked this drink and would certainly order it again. Lastly, the quintessential Fish & Chips! It's Atlantic cod in a brown ale batter, served with musky peas, chips, tartar sauce and a curry sauce. The curry sauce was surprisingly fantastic. I was blown away and absolutely needed more of it. The mushy peas resembled guacamole, but I had no idea how I was supposed to eat them. Lol. Were they a sauce? I don't know, but they tasted exactly how you'd think they'd taste. The fish was also fantastic. It was light, yet greasy and crispy. Value: The most expensive thing on the menu is $22.00. This place is not expensive at all so you certainly won't break the bank. Portions are decent size too. In conclusion, I absolutely enjoyed myself here and highly recommend you (reading this) to check it out! British food is... unpredictable if I must throw a word on it. Lol. Like, I almost couldn't predict what some of this stuff would taste like because I had never had anything like it before! Now, I'm a believer!

    I'm back! The restaurant is located on 829 Main St. in Manchester. Audacity British Style Pub is a…read moregastropub in Manchester, CT, offering authentic British cuisine like Fish n' Chips, Cottage Pie, and Bangers and Mash, alongside a selection of ales and cocktails in a cozy atmosphere. It's known for its friendly service, generous portions, and events like live music and karaoke, aiming to provide a unique UK pub experience.  They bring a huge pitcher and a few really small (8 oz) glasses. These complimentary chips are the best! Homemade and seasoned! For my first drink, I'm having the Cloth of Gold. This is an Old Fashioned recipe allegedly dating back to the 1600's. It is made with Old Forester, fresh lemon and honey (no bitters). This is nicely garnished and tastes good. I do think these glasses are only 10ox but I could be wrong. For my first item, I'm having the Chicken soup with rice and vegetables. This is steaming hot. The spoon is definitely oversized. It is very thick. Definitely a lot of chicken! This is real good! For my entree, I'm having the Atlantic Cod topped with buttery breadcrumbs and lemon bourre blanc sauce.Atlantic cod is a major commercial fish species found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, ranging from North Carolina to the Barents Sea, and is renowned for its mild, flaky white meat. Lemon beurre blanc is a classic, rich French emulsified butter sauce brightened with lemon juice, white wine, and shallots, ideal for fish, seafood, or vegetables. It is made by reducing wine, lemon juice, and shallots, then whisking in cold, cubed butter off-heat to create a creamy, velvety texture. I'm having sides of cole slaw and a Caesar salad. This looks nice! That's a huge mound of cole slaw! That Caesar salad is huge (for a side dish)! This cod is steaming hot and tastes great! I love that sauce! For my last drink, I'm having an Obi Wan Negroni (which, just like the Jedi Master), is "out of this world." It is made with cold brewed infused Campari, Bombay gin and Carpano Antica Vermouth. You gotta love the light saber! This tastes like a coffee-infused Negroni. It's real good! For dessert, we are having the Blueberry Lemon Crumble Cake. Nice presentation! This is good! What a great meal here!

Just functional. I was there on an NFL Sunday. There were lots of regulars. There was good interaction with the staff. I didn't catch her name, but the woman who was the only person working the bar and waiting on the tables was amazing. She was super friendly to everyone. She hustled to meet everyone's needs. It wouldn't surprise me if she is an owner too. It's hard to find people, who aren't owners, who are that committed. I asked for a wing flavor recommendation and she said "Montreal Honey" first. I ordered 6. The wings are part-baked and then finished in a fryer. Good inner and outer texture. The Montreal Seasoning was right on. The Honey didn't have much of a presence either visually or flavor-wise. More was needed to balance the salt from the Montreal Seasoning and to justify the Honey in the name. I tried both the Blue Cheese and the Ranch. I'd recommend the Blue Cheese. I'll definitely return to try more wing flavors. I also ordered a crock of chili, which was full of ground beef and topped with melted cheddar and chopped red onions. The chili was solid. I'd probably try something else before I ordered it again though. I'm a fan of Hideaway and I'll be back. 4.25 Stars
