Twigs Lounge is the house bar/restaurant at the Simsbury Inn, and this is a review of their Happy Hour.
The Happy Hour menu is small, but it packed a mighty punch. Let's start with the beers - HH Beers are $4. We had a choice of two drafts - Counterweight Headway and my choice - a Stony Creek lager. Bottled beers are also $4.
HH food choices are limited to just three, and we ordered all of them -Shrimp Cocktail ($1.50 per), Honey Sesame Chicken Wings ($7.50), and a Grilled Flatbread ($8).
We each ordered three of the shrimps, and they were plated up beautifully with a side of greens, Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, and a dill/horseradish aioli.
The Flatbread of the day included tomatoes, pesto, cheese and fig jam. It was an excellent merging of different flavors on a thin crust and was very good.
But as good as that Flatbread was, it lost the evening's competition to the Honey Sesame Chicken Wings. They won the evening's Gold Medal.
The seven beauties were glistening with a honey glaze and were absolutely fantastic!
Our feast of two beers and three HH plates ran just $35, and we really enjoyed the experience. Our server Liz was friendly, pleasant, helpful and non-intrusive.
Happy Hour is 4:00-6:00, and we hope to be back.
BTW, their regular menu features sandwiches, salads, and entrees, and they all looked pretty reasonably priced. read more
