Talcott Mountain Collective

"We love coming to Talcott Collective to enjoy music or just grab a bite and a drink with friends. Feels like you're hanging out at your friends backyard fire pit, but with a whole bunch of other people and you don't have to cook or clean up after! They get fantastic bands and always supplement their food offerings with great food trucks too."

"We went and saw a band here. It was a great atmosphere. It was forced to be inside because if rain but was still really fun with great beer menu. Outside is really beautiful with lots of tables."

"This is the first time I've been there. However folks close to me have been here in the past. Apparently they stepped up their game with the food as the report was. It used to be terrible and now it passes for decent pub food. But there really aren't any healthy choices. They have a large selection of beer. However, you may be waiting online a while to get some. There's a lot of space outside and they had a DJ on the inside and outdoors and they were both jamming. Our kids were playing a version of baseball in the backyard. The Heublein tower can be seen on the edge of one of the photos."

"It’s different vibe type place: dogs allowed, children all ages allowed, large area inside and large patio outside. There are long tables could seat 8 plus or families with lots of stuff for their kids. Smaller tables along windows seat 2 to 6. Bars line interior wall. Beer is fresh and poured to top. German, local, drafts and cans. I thought the four German beers I tried were exceptional. Music can be loud and is situated in the far corner from entrance. Entrance is around back. Look for food trucks. To the left facing building. Beautiful view under talcot mountain observatory. Food is limited. Pretzel dips were very good. Lobster roll buttery and seemed an entire lobster. Cannot bring your own food. There are three pinball games, board games, and definitely a good place for a card game."

"I came here on Thursday night for a happy hour with some friends after hearing this new place opened up. I hadn't realized it was St. Patrick's Day but was happy with the themed food and happy hour specials. There was a bagpipe group playing out front when we got there which was super cool to see and watch. They did move inside which I found way to loud for an enclosed space, we weren't even able to have a conversation. But luckily they didn't play for too long. They were great, don't get me wrong, but it was just a bit too loud for inside. The specials were great. There was plenty of wine choices, beer options, and other cocktails. There was also some bar food you could choose from and a great food truck outside. Overall I'd recommend a stop it! The folks are friendly, its cute, and there are good options."
