Friar Tuck's Tavern

We stumbled upon Friar Tuck’s Tavern on a busy evening in Mystic when nearly every other restaurant required reservations or had long wait times. What a lucky find! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient without being overbearing. It felt like the kind of place where the team actually enjoys working together and taking care of guests. The ambiance at Friar Tuck’s strikes a perfect balance between laid-back and lively. With its cozy medieval-inspired décor, warm lighting, and inviting atmosphere, it felt like a hidden gem amidst the tourist crowds. Whether you’re just stopping in for drinks or looking for a full meal, it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to. With so many places in Mystic

We came here on 3/26/24. This place is pretty awesome! Irish music was playing, it's a smaller place. The environment was great! They have outdoor seating for the warmer months. It's very clean in here, including the bathrooms. The food was absolutely delicious! It came out quick, and did not disappoint, at all! We got the Calamari, Fish & Chips, and the Mac & Cheese covered with Pulled Pork. We inhaled the Calamari! Likely the best we have ever had (seriously!). The Fish had a great flavor to the breading, and Fish itself was very moist and tender! The Mac & Cheese was very cheesy, and pulled pork was so very good! We also got 3 beers each. They use BeerMenus.com as their tap list. They don't have a physical copy, and unfortunately, the site was down while we were there. But, I told the

Lovely Irish pub great food, great service tons of beers on tap if that’s your thing (always rotating). Biggest thing—delicious food. Really nice sandwiches/wings. Stop here probably once a year or so on the way to “gamble” (play Mario Kart 64 with my gassy friends in a Foxwoods hotel room)—don’t stop anywhere else on the way to “gamble”

Great food, atmosphere and location. My family and I ate here twice in a long weekend because we had such a good meal the first time and the second time lived up to expectations. The best thing we ate was the BBQ pulled pork mac and cheese. It was absolutely delicious; the pork was so tasty and the combination of the creamy cheese sauce with the BBQ sauce was delightful. The Bavarian pretzels are a perfect portion for sharing with your table and the cheese dipping sauce was excellent. The kids menu had standard options and nice portions. The place was hopping on a Thursday evening and had such a fun vibe with the bartenders interacting personably with customers.

Absolutely fell in love with this tavern in Mystic’s downtown! This was the first place we had ever tried a scotch egg and we really enjoyed it! All of the food was delicious, and they had a solid corned beef Reuben. We visited while they had their winter cocktail specials and they were so adorable!! Such a cozy spot that we will definitely keep in mind for future visits to Mystic!
