Tried again, better but still lacking…read more Been a while since I've been to this location. Decided to give them another try and see if things have improved. Place was dead when I wandered in. Just myself and a couple other patrons at far sides of the place. Bartender was playing waitress as well. Very nice but very casual. Opted for their fruit juice mocktail and the jammin burger with loaded fries. Food and drink came out quick, so I took my pics and dug in. The mocktail was pretty much orange and pineapple juice with a fruit garnish. It was fine for what you got, and the price was reasonable at 4 bucks. Nothing special, but something to sip on if you're with company. The burger was executed flawlessly. Cooked well, not seasoned but done so with intention. The buttered bun and jam were salty to begin with, so they chose to unseason the burger, relying on the condiments to balance the dish out. The chef has skill, and you can tell it by their preparation. The trouble was the quality of the ingredients. The burger is straight ground meat, pressed to a patty and frozen. The chef did what they could to gussy up the burger, but was working with ingredients they could not control. When they had control in the ingredients and preparation, they put in care. The actual burger patty was very much the biggest detriment to the dish. The fries were good, cheap cheese and bagged fries but ample amounts of toppings and cooked perfectly. Good, but there's evidence that there could be something better. As a chain location tied to a bowling alley, it's perfectly fine pub bites. The servers are nice, but I feel that the chef is constrained. If given the opportunity, the chef could produce some magic on the plates. but they are stuck to the playbook, the source ingredients and the margins they need to stay in. That cheapens the food to cookie cutter molds and is a crying shame. The foods acceptable, the staff is good, and the venue is clean. One day I hope they can shed the chain and let the chef take the wheel. till then though, it's okay

Food is typical bar food; affordable and tasty. The restaurant is connected to the bowling alley,…read moremaking it super convenient. The food served at the lanes is also from the Grille. Fries, wings, pizzas, burgers etc. While you're bowling a server comes to take your food and drink orders so you don't have to leave your lane. Service has been good and I've had a birthday party there and it's so great to have the server handle the food, drinks, party supplies and helping with the arcade area. Ambiance is very chilled. It's a typical bar but has seating and tables if you don't or can't sit at the bar with children. It's clean. Staff is great. Quick service. I don't mind eating there when we're at the bowling alley.

I'm back after about a year! The restaurant is located at 495 Hartford Rd in Manchester, CT. This…read moreis my first sports bar visit in quite some time. I remember they have really good food here. Chef Stash presiding! I see a list of specials too. For my first drink, I'm having a Manhattan. A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. While rye is the traditional whiskey of choice, other commonly used whiskies include Canadian whisky, bourbon, blended whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. The cocktail is usually stirred with ice then strained into a chilled cocktail glass and garnished traditionally with a maraschino cherry. A Manhattan may also be served in a champagne coupe or on the rocks in a lowball glass. I'm having Woodford Reserve for my bourbon. Look at this monster! This tastes perfect! It's well balanced, chilled and garnished with a black amarena cherry. The menu is physically pretty large too. The Happy Hour is from 3-7 Sunday through Thursday. The only item (off of the HH hour) I'm having is the House Salad made with salad greens, tomato, cucumber, croutons and red onions with balsamic dressing. This is great! The veggies are very fresh! I like the dressing! For my next item, I'm having the Louisiana Clam and Sausage. I've never had this before! Louisiana-style clam and sausage soup typically combines spicy andouille sausage, fresh or canned clams, and a rich Cajun- or Creole-seasoned broth with aromatics like bell peppers, onions, and celery. Oh my! Look at this! That's a LOT of bread! It comes with crackers too! This is delicious! That bread is the best! For my drink, I'm having a Shrimp Cocktail (3 jumbo shrimp instead of 6) with cocktail sauce. They accommodated me! That's awesome! I just want to taste it. With my cholesterol problems, 6 is just too many. For my next drink, I'm having a Godfather. The Godfather is a duo mixed drink made of Scotch whisky (especially smoky Scotch) and amaretto. Typically, the drink is served with ice in an old fashioned glass. This tastes just right! It is served in a martini glass! It's not as strong This is yummy! For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Stir Fry made with chicken and Asian vegetables over rice pilaf and teriyaki sauce. This is not your typical sports bar food! I wanted it extra spicy! I love the yellow banana pepper at the top! This is a lot is food! This is delicious! It's nice and spicy! I believe the cook used to eat spicier food than I did (in my prime)! OMG! The cook came out and gave me a boxful of hot peppers! He said they were from a $100K garden. There is no doubt in my mind! These are (heat wise) in between a jalapeno and a habanero. How did I get so lucky to be here tonight! I am blessed for sure! For dessert, I'm having a Chocolate Lava Cake. Molten chocolate cake or runny core cake, is a French dessert that consists of a chocolate cake with a liquid chocolate core. It is named for its molten center,[1] and it is also known as mi-cuit au chocolat, chocolat coulant ("flowing"), chocolate lava cake, chocolate fondant, or simply lava cake. It should not be confused with fondant au chocolat, a recipe that contains little flour, but much chocolate and butter, hence melting on the palate (but not on the plate). Wow! Will you look at this presentation! The center is wicked hot! This is delicious! For my last drink, I'm having a White Russian. A white Russian is a cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur (e.g. Kahlúa or Tia Maria) and cream served with ice in an old fashioned glass. Grey Goose for me. This is made just perfect! This bartender is the best! What a great meal here!

I'm back! The bar/restaurant is located on 623 Main St. in Manchester, CT. It's only been open…read moresince February 2025. It's very clean and organized in here. It's early in the day so it's quiet right now. I love the decor! It's just the right amount. The music is the right type and the appropriate sound level. There is plenty of parking in back on the left. It's cool in here too. This place is well managed and well taken care of. It's very obvious. The Happy Hour menu is a cute, little paperback-sized, laminated piece of paper. The countertop is transparent with a nice pearl theme. That's impressive! The bar is named after Pearl St. where it is located (corner of Main and Pearl actually). The menu has a lot of very sophisticated drinks and high end food of an Italian influence. For my first drink I'm having the Happy Hour Manhattan. A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. While rye is the traditional whiskey of choice, other commonly used whiskies include Canadian whisky, bourbon, blended whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. The cocktail is usually stirred with ice then strained into a chilled cocktail glass and garnished traditionally with a maraschino cherry. A Manhattan may also be served in a champagne coupe or on the rocks in a lowball glass. They serve it in a martini-type glass. This is very good! For my first item, I'm having a House Salad. They have a Happy Hour Tues-Fri from 4-6 PM. There's a lot of $7 food items and discounted drinks. There is a large menu posted on the wall next to the bar. This salad comes standard with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It is made with romaine lettuce, mesclun greens, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and black olives. A house salad is a simple, versatile American-style salad featuring mixed leafy greens, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, carrots, and croutons, often topped with cheddar cheese. Typically served as a starter, a House Salad is paired with various dressings like ranch, vinaigrette, or blue cheese. It is quick to prepare, usually in under 15 minutes. This is quite good! It is very fresh tasting. The use of quality greens helps. I love the dressing! It appears to be homemade with a unique taste. For my next item, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is made with hearts of romaine lettuce, shaved parmigiano cheese, seasoned croutons and a house-made Caesar dressing. A Caesar salad is typically a green salad with romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, tossed in a creamy dressing made from olive oil, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and anchovies. The dressing is key, creating a rich, savory, and tangy flavor that coats the crisp lettuce and crunchy croutons. Please toss it (don't served with dressing on the side). This has height! It is very lightly doused with Caesar dressing and gets thicker as you work your way down. This is very good! Yummy croutons too. For my next drink, I'm having a Mojito. Mojito is a traditional Cuban punch. The cocktail often consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, soda water, and mint. Its combination of sweetness, citrus, and herbaceous mint flavors is intended to complement the rum, and has made the mojito a popular summer drink. This looks nice! I like the taste! I do y have these very often! For my next food item, I'm having the Fornarelli's Meatballs. There are 2 of their famous meatballs served with marinara sauce and topped with ricotta cheese (light for me). These are fantastic! You have to try these! Melts in your mouth! For my next item, I'm trying the Grilled Chicken Sliders (2 for Happy Hour). This is a rare find! "Grilled Chicken" sliders are NOT common. They come with lettuce, tomato and mayo (light for me). No cheese. These sliders are the best! You have to try these! For my last drink? I'm having a Margarita. A margarita is a cocktail of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and sometimes simple syrup. It is served shaken with ice (on the rocks), without ice (straight up), or blended with ice (frozen). Most bars serve margaritas in a stepped-diameter variant of a cocktail glass or champagne coupe called a margarita glass, often with salt or Tajín on the rim of the glass. The margarita is one of the US most popular cocktails and the most popular tequila-based cocktail. No salt/sugar rim but it tastes just right! For my entree, I'm having the Black Bean Burger with fries. This is an all natural bran burger made in house with lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. I like how they spread the fries all over. How about the metal fries bin? I've the pickle too! What a great meal here!

The decor is cool & I'm guessing that it will be enhanced over the next few months. A bar area & cozy seating. Electric fireplace & tucked away seating in the back.

People were commenting around the restaurant about how bad it smelled... we believe it was cooked old food (fish and chips). At this point we realized no one else was eating food. We got an appetizer that was moderate and large. The entrees were the worst I've seen in my whole life. They were mildly heated and not nearly as hot as they should be..... I could have cooked it hotter in my microwave for 2 minutes. The baked Mac and cheese with pulled pork was not baked, served with ziti noodles and shredded white pork barely garnished on the noodles. The vodka pasta tasted like plastic.... Idk about you but I'm not Barbie and I would like to enjoy my damn food if I'm going to be paying for it. On the other hand the server was great, very attentive and took the fish and chips off the bill when we sent them back. The music was good.

Your lack of customer service..empathy, understanding and deescalating a situation clearly shows that everyone shouldn't be a business owner and you still have lots to learn. You should definitely take a Business Management course refresher on how to respectfully treat your paying customers and run a business. Such a horrible experience on my brothers birthday. We had a group of 8 ppl excited to try this place out. As soon as we walked through the door everyone in the establishment stared at us as they whispered. The crowd was far from inviting or friendly. We approach the bar and on 2 occasions the folks playing pool told us we were in their way..(understandable..@Racks why place pool tables so close to the bar that makes it difficult for a large party to be able to order drinks??) Most of our party was able to order their drinks except for my self..my brother and a friend. A Man(brown skin) we DIDNT KNOW approached the bar and had an exchange of words with one his bartenders following up on a question he asked her to to confirm with the owner. She became flustered told him off claiming he was disrespectful etc..( this guy was by far very polite to her while I was standing there and was following up on the price of 10 shots) She DEFINITELY over reacted and made me feel very uncomfortable. She walks to the back.. at that point a friend of ours reached over to get the drink the bartender poured for him before she walked away and left us unattended wondering wth just happened. The Jameson bottle she used was empty and our friend thought it would be comical to pick up the empty Jameson bottle and make a sad face that there was no more since we needed a 2nd drink of Jameson. Bad timing to say the least..the owner/bartender approaches the bar ready for WAR! The owner points at us 4 ALL OF YOU ARE OUT OF HERE** I'm bewildered as to why he started yelling at us as if we were a problem when we we were not with the guy that the bartender had an issue with. ( PERHAPS..WAS IT BECAUSE I TOO AM BROWN SKINNED..AND WE MUST BE TOGETHER RIGHT???) At that point I gave the owner the benefit of the doubt and told him ," can I please talk to you privately its my brothers birthday and we don't know that guy". He says if its anything to do about this situation he doesn't want to hear it and we have to go!!!! I couldn't help but feel singled out and a sense of racism when he spoke and looked at us..to be quite honest this place was about 98% white..the guy at the bar (told to leave) with his friends were also colored..Come on!! I'm by far the last person to play the race card...but the way we were treated, lack of customer service or understanding from the owner screams if you're not local or their people ..YOU'RE NOT WELCOMED!! FOLKS!! dont spend your money in an establishment that lacks respect and clearly don't want you there. Don't waste your time at this place..GO TO SPARE TIME DOWN THE ROAD...We left and had an amazing time.. their bartenders and management by far were amazing and treated us great.

I'm back! I haven't been here in a couple years. The restaurant is located at 100 Buckland Hills…read moreDr. in Manchester, CT. This is a big game and sports watching value. The building is huge! For my first drink, I'm having the Reserve Old Fashioned made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, simple syrup and Hella Aromatic bitters (that's new). Hella Aromatic Bitters are craft, all-natural cocktail bitters made with real herbs and spices, featuring dominant notes of clove, cinnamon, and allspice with a robust bitter finish from gentian and wormwood. This is well balanced but without a garnish. I do like the circular ice cube. That's a nice touch. For our appetizers, we are having the Guacamole and Chips which is made with fresh guacamole topped with pico de gallo and cortina cheese and served with tortillas chips. This is very good. There's a lot of chips! We are also getting the fried pickles which are crunchy breaded pickle slices served with ranch dressing. I don't eat these very often. They are good! For my entree, I'm having the Fire-Grilled Salmon which is grilled Atlantic salmon rubbed with Louisiana spices and served with green beans, rice pilaf and finished with butter. The fish is real tasty! The rice is nice and the beans and to store ate good too!Make sure to squeeze that lemon. This is good! I'm also having a side order of fresh garden salad which is romaine topped with grape tomatoes and shredded cheese with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The salad is fairly good-sized and is quite good! For my next drink, I'm having a Godfather. The Godfather is a simple, two-ingredient cocktail made with Scotch whisky (Johnny Walker Black) and amaretto liqueur, served over ice in an Old Fashioned glass, often with an orange peel garnish. It's known for its smooth, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor, balancing the smoky notes of Scotch with the almond sweetness of amaretto. Well, there is no ice cube for some reason or a garnish for that matter. But, its tastes pretty close. For my last drink, I'm having a Jameson Long Island Tea made with Jameson Irish Whiskey, Bacardi Silver rum, Cointreau, peach, premium citrus sour and Coke. This tastes good although it's not very strong. Overall, it's still a good meal here!
