Went to the Tunnel Bar in Northhampton, MA some time ago and truly enjoyed the cozy, quiet setting with the lovely ambiance, big leather armchairs, and tasty drinks. Can I get one of those around here? <br /><br /> Where can I go in CT to have a few drinks and hold a conversation with friends where I could actually hear them talk? Not looking for a loud noisy drunken bar scene. Somewhere classy, maybe TunnelBar-like or Milk&amp;Honey-esque?<br> <br> Cheers! post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.99273 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:46:46 -0800 potatopeople bar lounge New England Connecticut drinks http://ask.metafilter.com/99273/Of-all-the-gin-joints-in-all-the-towns-in-all-the-world#1444641 Connecticut is a pretty big state.<br> <br> I'll give a nod to "Proud Mary's" in Newtown, CT, though. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.99273-1444641 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:43:30 -0800 devbrain http://ask.metafilter.com/99273/Of-all-the-gin-joints-in-all-the-towns-in-all-the-world#1444646 Connecticut is a big place. Maybe you should narrow it down a bit to get some answers here.<br> Meanwhile, <a href="http://connecticut.metromix.com/restaurants/photogallery/freskos-avon/398776/content?photo=3">here's a nice joint</a> in Avon CT. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.99273-1444646 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:46:50 -0800 beagle http://ask.metafilter.com/99273/Of-all-the-gin-joints-in-all-the-towns-in-all-the-world#1444652 Heh, I should have previewed. In any case, it's "big" in relation to small, cozy, quiet bars, not in relation to most of these United States. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.99273-1444652 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:49:03 -0800 beagle http://ask.metafilter.com/99273/Of-all-the-gin-joints-in-all-the-towns-in-all-the-world#1444656 Okay, so narrowing it down: specifically, Hartford city or Manchester, but anywhere in Hartford County would be okay. Bonus points for joints with a vintage feel. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.99273-1444656 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:52:34 -0800 potatopeople
