    The food is pretty tasty, but their beer selection is excellent. It's worth the trip just for the beer.

    Super fun to sit at the bar for Sunday brunch. Watch the exotic Bloody Marys being garnished. Why have an ordinary hefeweizen when you could have a "Beermosa"?

    I don't know about the burgers but the food and drink choices are interesting (quiche was great!), Beer, whiskey and bourbon selections are awesome and the staff is attentive and helpful...Nice too.

    If you are in Mystic, this is a great restaurant. Double stack burger and fries and cobb salad were very good. But as a New Yorker, most other burgers and fries I've had are better.

    Great selection of beers and lively bar scene. We stopped in for a quick glass before dinner and enjoyed the bar scene in Mystic.

    The appetizers and sides are excellent and will have you come back for more. The burgers are expensive and no better than typical. The cocktails are overwrought and not subtle. Stick with the beers!

    Excellent Burgers in the Pub, locally sourced, ground on premise beef, perfectly seasoned on a Multigrain roll, topped with salted Onions, Pickle and Zhot Hanerero cheese!

    Craft beers on tap! Huge selection! Awesome decor and modern vibe. Beer trumps the menu at this one..I'd rather bar than dine here personally

    The baked mac and cheese is definitely worth it. Their milkshakes are really good too.

    Hush puppies and Happy Hour Burgers are delicious! 85th Day IPA compliments the food!

    Just like an engine room, it gets loud and busy. Service lackluster. Enjoyed corn scallop chowder.

    I love the happy hour menu, especially the hush puppies, and the hot dog is surprisingly good!

    The coolest bar in Mystic: a yummy menu, great cocktail list, lots of space, and atmosphere in spades.

    I'll be back. Nice woodwork. I liked the beer but didn't eat any food. I liked that they had vegetarian options.

    Burgers aren't that great fries are the saving grace. If you want a good burger go to plan B in Hartford.

    Decent beer selection for CT. Burgers were good, but rather small and underwhelming for a place that prides itself on the 'american burger.' It also took us 75 minutes to get appetizers. Skip it.

    I've eaten here a few times. IMO, everything here is over priced for the quality. All the food is overly salty. Beer prices are kind of a joke. I have no interest in ever coming back.
