Pigs Eye Pub

situated above a soul food place kinda near the Wolf Pack arena, the Pig's Eye has all the trappings expected of good watering hole: smoking patio (though having a salient lack of butt receptacles, pool tables and a good selection of taps and bottles to satisfy the discerning hockey aficionado or run of the mill drunkard. i prefer beer so i started with the Pigs Eye Lager, which is not brewed onsite but boasted of excellent flavor, despite my sense that the tap might benefit from a thorough cleaning.

PIGS EYE IS THE BESTTTT! To start, there is never a cover charge, which in Hartford, that alone is huge! From the bartenders to the bar backs to the bouncers, everyone here is amazing.

Cool place. No actual food/kitchen which is the only reason food catches the 1. Fun atmosphere and large drink selection. They do encourage grabbing some carryout nearby and bringing it. The food you see on Google is for the restaurant below. Southern soul food.

A great bar with cool people from all walks. I stopped by from out of town on a Wednesday and shot pool with the regulars and they made me feel welcome- great beer selection too. Thank you!
