The Tap Room has been described, by famous journalist Lucius Beebe, as

" the most handsome barroom in America."  Most recently New York magazine raved

"It just may be the best-looking drinking room anywhere in America."  This year

Esquire  voted The Tap Room one of The Best Bars in America - the only one

in Connecticut to receive this distinction.  And Connecticut Magazine  readers

voted it Best Bar in Connecticut - yet again - as they do every year.
