Vaughan's Public House

"It’s been many years since we have stopped into Vaughans. Mainly because we don’t live or work in the Hartford area anymore. I worked here many moons ago (close to its 20 years ago opening as the owner reminded me tonight). But this review isn’t about nostalgia, although there was plenty of that to be had too. The 5 star review is due to the fact that decades after opening this restaurant was still hopping and still cranking out delicious comfort food with great service. A place to feel welcome, enjoy a game, a beer and delicious pub food. An anchor on Pratt Street which now has a few other neat shops to boast. If you haven’t already, check it out!"

"Being Irish myself, I am quite judgemental about Irish Pubs that claim to be Irish only to be disappointed that the only thing Irish is the name. This place was authentic and amazing. Food, top notch. Service, ABOVE top notch. If you're headed to Hartford, I'd add Vaughns as a place as a "must". I absolutely felt at hoke. The menu was pure class and the wait staff were genuinely perfect. Even the Manager On Duty went out of her way to make guests feel like they were old time regulars! I absolutely love this place"

"One of the most welcoming Irish Pub. Comfortable seating and service was exceptional. As our party grew, they made sure everyone was accommodated. We just had pints and cocktails before and after a wedding. The bartender recognized us and served complementary Homemade Irish Cream and wished us all Happy New Year. They didn’t have to do anything seeing that they were busy. Solid experience. Pro bar operators and exceptional locals place."

"After a long day, went looking for a local place for a drink and dinner. Stumbled upon this little gem on Pratt St. and decided to give it a try. It was an absolutely beautiful evening so we sat outside where they had a live band playing as well (just down the street) and made for a great atmosphere. The staff was great and very nice. The food was great!! Went with some good Irish meals and were not disappointed. We’ll be back."
