Paradise Restaurant Bar & Grille

Karaoke Thursday nights loud and energized in the south end of Hartford. Menu has fun bar food like wraps, wings, ribs, burgers, etc. The night we were there with a friend of the owners, he brought her snow crab for dinner which was a special that night. Our buffalo wings came to the table cold so we ate the rest of the food that came out and packed the wings to go, along with some charred but meaty ribs and half a wrap I couldn't finish. Fair rotation of singers and a huge songbook to choose from. Full bar.

Great music, great drinks, great food! I love the atmosphere. There aren't many places that have live jazz or R&B music in the area. It really celebrates soul! There's private and off street parking, a VIP section, and a nice sized dance floor.

The place has a nice vibe. Service was friendly. I attended an event there and the event was awesome even though the space was tight. I heard that the food is great, and if you eat meat, you will love this place. I am a vegetarian so I ordered the veggie wrap. It was ok. There were vegetables in the wrap, they were seasoned nicely, but they were not the vegetables listed on the menu. I guess that they were out of zucchini squash, red bell peppers etc. and thought that it was okay to substitute a "garden mix" of carrots and a few pieces of cauliflower...it wasn't. I wish they would have told me, I would have ordered the garden salad and been satisfied. All that aside...I would go back for events.

I've been hearing about the place on the local radio station so I decided to do a drive by and check them out. It's a little tight in the main areas, you can still enjoy yourself. Bud light was $3.50, no admission fee and live band that was really good! Wednesday night, check them out. Parking on street is a challenge since it's a busy area and semi residential.
