Market Place Tavern - Litchfield

Stopped in on a random Wednesday at around one o’clock with four in our party. Waited up to 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. Everyone loved their food and the service from our waitress was great. I had to ding MPT 1 Star on service due to the long wait times and the two different size portions of French fries for the exact same meal (didn’t noticed until the end of the meal).

This place was a great find. Cold Monday afternoon and wanted a burger. These guys nailed it. Tyler greeted us, tended bar, took our order, chatted and served us. Everything done with grace. Sam Malone has nothing on Tyler. Food was great. (Although the chicken wrap was a bit dry - needed some special sauce or something). Will definitely go back when I return to Litchfield.

inner at Market Place Tavern was everything you hope for when dining in Litchfield—warm, welcoming, delicious, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. We had dinner with my aunt and a very close family friend, which made the evening even more special. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone: cozy, comfortable, and timeless. The exposed brick alone deserves a mention—it adds such warmth and character and makes the space feel both intimate and classic New England. And really… who doesn’t love being right near Litchfield Green? It’s one of those places that just feels right. 🍷 Wine, Beer & Value The wine list was thoughtfully curated with a very nice selection across different styles, and the pricing was more than fair—always appreciated. Even better? A glass of wine

Thumbs up around the table for our rice bowls and salads. The place has a nice atmosphere and the server was great. The only downside on the night we were there, was the temperature. It was probably close to 80 degrees in the place! Good drink and beer offerings and you can't beat the location for a stroll after dinner.

We were two coworkers passing through Litchfield for work and found Market Place Tavern by chance. The building used to be a jail and you can still see some of the old cell doors inside. It gives the place a unique and cozy atmosphere that feels local but welcoming. We sat at the bar and started with drinks. I had a bourbon cocktail that was smooth. She ordered a wine, rosé. For food I had the everything bagel pretzel appetizer which came warm and perfectly seasoned with a creamy dipping sauce that was addictive. It was a bit overcooked with a hard bottom. She ordered the steak sandwich which came on a fresh roll with tender meat and crispy fries. We both left full and impressed. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the place was busy.
