Bar Food Is Taken To A Whole New Level At This Local Tavern In Connecticut

"Bar food" is a phrase that, historically, has negative connotations for most connoisseurs of food. At many bars, you can find peanuts, some greasy fries, and similar type "drunk foods." All of that has changed over the last few years, as gastropubs become increasingly popular. These restaurants got their start in Great Britain and have become quite popular here. Gastropubs focus on having quality drinks and a wide menu of high-quality food, with food often as good as what you'd find at a fine dining establishment. We have several great gastropubs in Connecticut, but one of the very best is The Playwright Irish Pub - serving amazing bar food in Hamden, CT. This spot serves up delicious fare in a classic-style tavern with a fun environment. Check it out:

Located just a block over from Lake Whitney, Playwright Irish Pub has been open since 1999.

Inside, you'll find a charming Irish pub atmosphere that's family-friendly with plenty of opportunities for socializing.

The calendar of events includes live music and a weekly Sunday Irish breakfast and brunch.

Many of the bands, like The Alehounds, play Celtic music to add a true Irish ambiance to your meal.

The menu is full of Irish and American offerings that are far beyond what you'd expect from most bars.

You can get traditional bar food here, like potato skins and nachos, but it's going to be much higher quality than what you're probably used to from your local bar.

Of course, you'll want to pair your meal with a Guinness for an authentic Irish experience!

There are plenty of options available for both meat-eaters and vegetarians, making this a good choice for a group of mixed diners.
