    Stopped in for a beer after attending the Plainville Hotair Balloon Festival. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender. As it was our first time here, the bartender allowed us to sample some of the beer as well as provided recommendations based on our preferences which were both helpful in deciding which drink to get. The beer was delicious, and service was excellent! I did not try any food this time around but from the food options available and reading fellow Yelpers reviews, next time I will absolutely be pairing my beer with some food.

    In May 2025, TBC reopened at a much larger location in Plainville. The new location features a full taproom and kitchen. Since they first opened in 2020, TBC have become one of my Top 10 favorite Connecticut breweries. I've visited them a number of times over the years. I would often make a pit stop while cycling on the nearby Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. I was very excited when I heard that they moved to a larger facility, which is still located right near the trail. My sons and I recently stopped in for lunch after a morning of cycling. The food menu consists of pizza, sandwiches, wings, and bar bites. We were in the mood for some pizza. We ordered and shared "Humble" (red tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, grated pecorino) and "The Queen" (red tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, fresh basil). These bar-style pizzas had excellent sauce and crust. For beer, I ordered a taster flight which consisted of "Skiddle Me This" (Fruited Sour), "Blizzard Wizard" (Smoothie Pastry Sour; collab with RAR Brewing), "Severed" (New England IPA; collab with Lumen Beer Company), and "Vapourwaves" (Amarillo) (Double New England IPA). Before leaving, I enjoyed a full pour of "La Mort Au Nord" (Triple New England IPA; collab with Messorem Bracitorium). I honestly think that TBC does a fantastic job at brewing pretty much any beer style, but they really shine when it comes to their fruited sours. Overall, we had an excellent experience at TBC's new location and we hope to be back again and again!

    Relic Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Plainville, Connecticut in February 2012. It was…read morefounded by brewer Mark Sigman. Although his professional background was in advertising, Sigman had been an avid homebrewer since 1994. Eventually he decided to open his own brewery. Sigman chose the name "Relic" to reference his world travels. Aiming to craft artisanal ales inspired by flavors from around the world, he thought of himself as more of a chef than a brewer. Sigman doesn't brew beer based on which styles are trendy, but rather beers that he personally enjoys with tastes that he views as complimentary or exciting. I have visited Relic Brewing multiple times since I first became serious about craft beer in 2013. At that time, Relic was one of maybe 10 breweries in the state (today there are over 100). Of those original 10, only half remain in business. The taproom was very small during my initial visit: about 10 square feet and they only served small free samples. I recently stopped there with my older son because it occurred to me that I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. A lot had changed! In 2016, a full bar was added and Relic began to serve full pint pours as well as craft cocktails. A large back room addition opened in 2019, which featured a fully furnished lounge and a pinball arcade slowly evolved. When I first arrived, I ordered a taster flight which featured "Oktoberfest", "Nebraska IPA", "The Whim" (New England IPA), and "Double Whim" (Double New England IPA). I grabbed my flight and headed to the back room with my son. He was so excited to play the pinball machines and other various arcade games. The two of us had a nice father-son bonding experience playing pinball as I also enjoyed my beer samples; the "Oktoberfest" was my favorite! If you like great beer paired up with pinball, then head down to Relic Brewing!

They've since expanded the size of their tasting room into another huge, open space full of high tops and comfortable lounge seating along with a bar mixing up creative cocktails. The new space also has tons of pinball machines and other games. We stopped in after a movie on a Friday at about 6:30. There were a few groups hanging out but it wasn't too busy at all. It was pretty chill vibe, and I got the sense that a lot of locals frequent them, which is cool. We hung out for nearly two hours and by the time we left the only other folks there were at the bar in the front room. The beer is still good! I did want to try some of their cocktails though. They have some pretty creative cocktails made with interesting homemade syrups, shrubs, and the like. I tried the Honey Don't which was tart but well balanced. I wished it was a little spicier, but I am a spice fiend.Then I felt for something a little sweeter so I went with the Poolside gossip. All the different ingredients really combined into a unique and delicious flavor! I really enjoyed what they have going on. The space was comfortable and relaxed and there's something on their drinks menu for literally everyone, plus entertainment. They have small snacks available, but you're also welcome to bring your own food. So it's basically like a very relaxed bar. We'll definitely be stopping in more frequently!

SERVICE: Our server who was wearing a Hartford Whalers hat? was a bit standoffish at first but loosened up a bit once more conversation about the facility took place.

They have so many different seating areas to choose from. The owners & staff are all super nice and welcoming! I love how they support local and host local CT artists work each month. They have a ton of events going on that the whole family would enjoy. Beer and drinks are so good! My favorite is taxi! But I love them all. They have such a cool variety of beers that I'm sure even the pickiest beer drinker would find something to their liking! Seltzers are awesome too! The New Cambridge Project is just getting started! I can't wait to see how they grow throughout their first year but right now they are absolutely killing it! I'm a fan! Will be back for sure!!

Our waiter Elijah had a cool vibe and was attentive. For drinks, I ordered their Valentine's Day special cocktail which was tasty and pretty. My boyfriend ordered a sour beer which he said was one of the best sours he's had. For appetizers, we ordered the flatbread which was spiced pumpkin, goat cheese and sage. It was so flavorful! I would definitely order again. We also ordered the Cajun tacos which were also very flavorful and good balance of flavors. Would also order again. For our entrees, I ordered the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese with truffle fries. It was so delicious. I love that it was on sourdough bread and the cheddar cheese (I think it was cheddar) made every bite just so good. The fries were not the truffle that I was expecting. Instead of oil I think they used a seasoning so it was a little salty but I found that I couldn't stop eating them. My boyfriend ordered the bacon burger with pork belly and massive onion rings. He did say that he wish he ordered what I got and he said the pork belly was a little too crispy for his liking. Overall, I would recommend Five Corners Bistro. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!
