Reviews for The Hive Bar and Restaurant in New Britain, CT
Excellent place to meet people the food was good the drinks were amazing. And the service was kind and worked with you just in... case you couldn't hear over the music or other people. Read more
The drinks were great and cheap. Don't know where else you can get a Moscow mile for as low as 7 dollars that isn't a happy... hour. Nice space, great service and all. I wasn't too big on the food. The buttermilk chicken sandwich wasn't that good and thewings were nothing too special, great flavor in the mango habenro though Read more
Small bar space. Big dinning room for events. Food was decent. Drinks were fair in price. Wouldn't mind going again.
Had a lot of fun at karaoke night. Drinks are reasonably priced and the food is really good. Much better bar than Elmer's in my... opinion. Read more

Definitely recommend this place! The owners are so kind and treated us well. The food is AMAZING (the hive burger and the short... rib grilled cheese from experience so far) and the drink I had was great as well. Will definitely be coming back for futureevents!! Read more
TLDR; The Hive is brand new place to give Elmers competition. They?re still working out a few things but the food was good and I... enjoyed my cocktail. Draft Special was great too. The Hive Bar and Restaurant are new to the game when it comes to opening. Igive them a lot of credit for opening during the COVID-19 pandemic and wish them the best of luck. I visited on a Thursday aftera seeing social media posts about $2 draft beers and some other drink special. I wanted to check this place out with mysignificant other and a few friends. The draft beer special was a great way to attract newcomers. The Hive Bar and Restauranthas a LOT of potential with a beautiful bar and large area for dancing, although some kinks need to be worked out and I hopethey see this and find a way to improve because I know they can provide some competition to their neighbors down the road. Forstarters, I know this is a brand new business opening but the walls could be decorated more that way the wall aren?t so bare.With time I can see management filling out the walls nicely. Secondly, my group of 3 arrived when it was quiet and during ourvisit it got quite busy near the bar around 10PM, my only concern was that it felt like we ignored because the bar had gotten sobusy. We wanted to get our check so we could return home and it took a little longer than expected. However I cannot blame themfor this mishap because it got busier than expected. I can?t make recommendations without giving my compliments to theestablishment. Management was great, on several occasions our tables was approached to have a brief but enjoyable conversation.While we were given free chips and Mac & cheese bites as a curtesy, I can easily say I would have bought them no problem. Thesides were enjoyable and a great addition to our drinks. Asides from the specials, I also had one of their listed cocktails(Hibiscus Daiquiri) and as someone whose built their own bar I can quite honestly say I enjoyed the drink ver Read more
So for anyone who doesn't know the Hive Bar has a beautiful Hall. They could accommodate weddings, parties and small events. Has... a fireplace and a stage.
