Old Well Tavern - Bar & grill in Simsbury - 20 Tariffville Rd, USA

This is a fun old feeling bar. The fanciest thing about the place is the digital juke box, and yes, it gets used. That being said, we loved this place. It was a Friday evening and the bar was full of folks who had just gotten off work. We started with the sweet chili wings, and wow.. they were good. My honey had the chicken sandwich which was good. I felt like testing to see if the Diablo burger was really that hot… it was an amazing burger, enough warmth to make you sweat but not tongue scorching. If you like spice, get this!

I came to watch the band All or Nothing... They charged a 10.00 dollar cover. We decided to come a little early and eat since they offered food. I have read many amazing reviews for this place but everything I ordered was not good at all. I tried their burnt ends and they were super dry in the middle. Like over cooked in a bad way. And I've had barbecue from all over and the sauce and how they tasted wasn't good. I also tried the soup of the day which was Bland and salty. And that I had potstickers which just tasted like they came from a food service. Our waitress at first the service was a little rocky but once we were sat and our orders were taken she was right on it. My friend ordered the sliders and she didn't really appreciate them at all. . Curly fries though that were served I tried some and they were good. But we really enjoyed the band All or Nothing they were worth the $10 admission. Maybe it was an off night. But the food wasn't good.

This restaurant really had the right combination of great food and great service and I highly recommend this place to anyone . For starters my table got the steak tips and mozzarella sticks . The mozzarella sticks were so good I could’ve had the whole plate myself. With my meal I ordered the French onion soup which was ok, a bit on the salty side if you’re watching your sodium. For my Entree I had the fish and chips and it was SO Good the fish with perfectly cooked, the breading was crispy, the fries were hot , it was delicious Our server really brought the whole experience together! I believe her name was Christie? she was wonderful,had my table laughing and was very attentive to us . Great restaurant, will definitely return in the future!

I had part of my high school reunion at The Old Well. Staff were friendly and service was great. They did alot to make sure the prepared BBQ was good food. There were big pans of BBQ chicken, pork, & beef, mac 'n cheese, rice, veggies, & salad.

Amazing food, great service, and HUGE space with pool tables! As soon as I walked in, I was transported to the good old times.. love that nothing was too salty, and everything was prepared with love, truly an authentic tavern!

The beer was good, the food was not. Ordered the chicken tenders and nachos, tasted like they were made in somebody's microwave. Was looking forward to this, based on all the great reviews, but it did not hit the mark unfortunately..

Kitchen was closed so I can't rate the food. the 1 drink i had was good, maybe just not my kind of place...I didn't like the vibe. Maybe its because it was after 10pm. I just wanted to get out of the house and grab a drink with my husband close to our home.

my husband and i found this place accidentally but it was most definitely a happy accident! the staff was very welcoming and kind and the food was AMAZING (along with their prices!!), we still talk about the food a month later!
