Stopped in here today for lunch. I ordered a beer, some nachos with buffalo chicken, bourbon teriyaki & sweet thai chili wings, as well as garlic parm fries. The wings were perfectly crispy and the sauce was super flavorful. The nachos were plentiful and hit the spot. Will be coming back for more of those wings.

Overall good first experience. Pulled Buffalo chicken nachos were tasty and had a nice kick to them. Two in a pool wings were pretty good - nice flavor and also a good spice to them. Family had the blackened salmon, chicken salad melt, and garlic parm tenders. Wings 7/10.

We celebrated an early Father's Day with our 14 and 5 year old children. Our server was quite pleasant. The Land Ho burger was on the weekly specials menu, and it was outstanding! The street taco salad was delicious too. My children enjoyed the sliders, chicken tenders, fries, and tater tots. The unique environment only made our experience that much better.

Had a fantastic lunch with my family! Food was delicious and our waiter was friendly. The Tap list had many nice options. I really enjoyed my meal and beer. I'm kinda surprised they don't offer a kids menu but my kids enjoyed the chicken tenders from the appetizer section, and we added on fries !

Great selection of beer on tap. Loved seeing so many CT and NE breweries on the list. Friendly staff, great service. Food was from decent to excellent. Fried appetizers were okay, buffalo shrimp was excellent. BBQ brisket sandwich and tater tots were perfect.

DEF WORTH STOPPING!!! Very cool nostalgia bar/dining atmosphere inside. Menu has a wide variety to choose from, and the wings are to die for! The flight beer is good and the beer on tap is great. Very cool dining experience. Friendly staff and bar tenders. During the summer, the outside it’s set up like a beach theme so enjoy the summer and the beach 🏖 (minus the water 💦) Great music and great time!

This was a nice venue to catch up with friends at. Semi- large venue with a long bar, tables, and booths. The restaurant has a dark atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food bites. From what I saw, there’s only street parking which isn’t very many. We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn’t too busy but busy enough for a lively atmosphere. The food wasn’t bad either, we tried the wings and had some pork belly, would recommend. If I’m ever in the area I might stop on by again.

This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. This was my first visit to this place. It has an ample parking in the back. Inside are two rooms, so there is some isolation. Booth seating is available. I love the vibe if this place, it felt like you're in a punk's apartment. The food was delicious - we ordered Nashville shrimp and a burger, both were top notch. There's a good selection of both local and non-local craft beers. If I were evaluating this place as a pure pub, it would have been solid 5. But this is a quest for breweries. Only 3 of their own beers were available during my visit, and all of them were mediocre at best. But one can still enjoy the rest of the beer menu from other breweries. If you're searching for a hangout spot - this place is awesome. But if you're looking for a pure brewery, then look elsewhere.

The food was okay, ordered the nachos with chicken and the top layer of chicken was dry but once you dig in it was moist. The atmosphere was great and they have an outside area. The drinks were good. Overall is more of a chill spot to have drinks and food

Looks like a fun place from the outside & inside! Stopped in for just drinks - place was hoppin'. They have a back outdoor patio which looked nice & quaint. They offer beer flights - (4) 6oz pours, but you're charged for each pour, which I've NEVER seen before. Usually it's a flat price. Didn't expect that & don't like. Cool "mug club" decor. Bartender was friendly to start, but then just meh. Tried chatting with him - no go. Bummer. Would go back to try the food.

This was my first visit to Eli Cannon’s Tap Room. The service was friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the unique atmosphere—lots of character with Edison bulbs and vintage movie posters decorating the space. That said, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Unfortunately, the fish and chips were overcooked to the point of being tough and difficult to enjoy, and others at my table had similar feedback about their meals. The dining area was also quite humid, which made things a bit uncomfortable during our stay. While there were some high points, the overall experience didn’t quite hit the mark for me, so I likely won’t be returning.

The food was okay. Nothing special. I'd still go there for maybe drinks and just a night out but not for a date night. I didn't expect great food as silly as that may sound. But nothing really spec…

EDIT: After speaking with the owner Rocco LaMonica several times via email, about the charge, he suddenly became nasty, accused me of lying and trying to scam him- and began harrassing me. After telling him to not contact me or the police would be called he continued to contact me at which time the police had to calles. PD verified exactly what had happened with the establishment taking extra funds,and it being correct, and had to go speak with LaMonica and tell him to seize contact or it would be would harassment. Absolutely uncalled for and unhinged. Please be aware" First time here to check out trivia since our usually spot had cancelled. Food was good, the nachos were huge and very good. Drinks were reasonably priced. Only problem I had is my bill was just under $40, and I was not only charged my bill total, but I was charged a second time for $106. Calling the bar and speaking with a manager minutes after realizing, they're telling me they didn't do it, and they had no record of this transaction happening, when they happened at exactly the same minute and second my card was ran by our server. Not very good customer service on their part in this case. I was told to take it up with my bank -which will now take weeks when and if it is refunded. But if not refunded by the bank I will be contacting the bar again. And it should have never have happened in the first place- a ghost charge does not just appear on a customers card when the bank verified the card was tapped for the extra $106. I wish the company handled it differently, possibly personally refunding by card or cash the extra expensive charge that was caused by them. The charge did not drop off as they claimed it would-but finalized, so it was 100 percent a secondary charge on their end.

I went into Eli’s for the first time in seven years of being over 21 in the state of Connecticut. I went there with a group of my work friends to celebrate one of our work friends birthday. I walked in with the birthday girl and was immediately carded. Tried to explain. We only were going to order food because we did not have our IDs on us. We went to try and join our friends and the man that was at the door checking our IDs had followed us, and he was very rude to me and my friend told us we could not sit with our friends. We cannot sit with them. We had to sit alone and then told us we had to leave when we told him we wanted to sit with our friends. I don’t know if it was because my friend was Nigerian and had dark skin or if it was simply because the man was in a bad mood or what his excuse was, but that was no way to treat a customer. I will never be going back again, I was embarrassed. He pointed his finger in my face, and I felt very insulted and belittled in front of everyone I will never recommend this place to my friend because of the way me and my friend were treated. First and last time ever going there Zero out of 10 stars -10 rating on professional, professionalism, and compassion for customers
