Bergen House

"Good vibes and good drinks at Bergen House. Our server was pleasant and engaging. We picked up one of the many available board games to play while we sipped our mead. Dogs and gamers welcome. We got a few couple short pours of the Blueberry and Synthesis and a mug of Mulled Mead. Everything had such distinct tastes, very much unlike each other, but all were enjoyable. My favorite was the Blueberry, and I ended up getting a to-go bottle. The atmosphere wasn't my favorite. Very open industrial warehouse layout and jarring bright lighting. Would've loved a bit more ambiance, but the drinks held up, and I'd be happy to come back for some of their mead. Cheers!"

"Always delicious flavors on tap and for take-home. Super friendly staff. Sometimes we bring our dinner and hang out and play board games. I love this place."

"Bergen House is a fun and unique place to visit in central Connecticut. They serve several different types of mead and are very knowledgeable about the process, as they make it in house. I am not really a "mead guy" but I found the tasting sizes to be perfect to try different flavors without becoming overwhelmed. They allow you to BYO snacks, and the space is warm and welcoming. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the slow service, through no fault of the 1 bartender present when we visited on a Saturday afternoon. it was busy, and she was very busy. She was so friendly and courteous that the wait didn't detract too much from the experience. One thing to note- they have a large banner stating that they pay their staff a living wage and that all tips go to a charity of the staffs choosing. It would be awesome if that charity was listed!"

"Great tasting mead! I tried most of the menu and some drinks primarily taste like honey, others it’s an aftertaste, and some it mostly tastes like beer with a hint of honey. Very good options here. I really like that they have free water readily available as well. Tons of games and activities here for hanging out with friends - (darts, Jenga, board games, etc). Also, the night I came here there were a lot of retro game consoles set up. Big Mario kart tournament that was really fun! Would highly recommend coming here and trying some mead."

"Awesome mead! I never had it before and it was great. Where have you been all my life! I don’t really like beer so this is the perfect alternative. Plenty of table place here! Friendly staff and a bunch of different games for your table to enjoy while you drink your mead. Reasonable prices too! Definitely will be back here."
