I Came here for the first time and had to order the award-winning chicken wings. Definitely was not disappointed! They are one of the best tasting wings that I have ever had. I ordered the lemon pepper and the Nashville hot dry rub both tasted so good. They had an extra little crunch to them that made them delicious. Our waitress/ bartender was Michaela. She was awesome. The whole vibe at this place was definitely very chill. I ended up buying the whole bar a Jell-O shot. They were on sale for one dollar each. Prices here are definitely fair! They even offered deals on certain days of the week. Join us Half-Priced Wings on Tuesdays @ 6PM -10PM* Bar Rated Trivia on Wednesdays @ 7PM Music Bingo on Thursdays @ 7PM Karaoke with DJ Breakaway on Fridays @8PM Live Music on Saturdays @ 8 PM

I was really impressed by this bar! We came here before a movie, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The menu had a lot of great offerings. The burger I ordered was delicious. They also had a wide array of specialty drinks and cocktails, which were quite tasty. The prices were extremely reasonable here as well. The wait staff was attentive, and the service was quick. I will return.

This place has been a staple in Southington, changing names over the years, but remaining my absolute go-to spot for food, brews, and unforgettable times with friends. After meeting the manager and promising a review, I'm excited to share why this place is so special. What makes The Salty Dog exceptional is the Salty Dog boasts an excellent selection of craft beers that would impress even the most discerning beer enthusiast. The sport bar vibe here is simply unbeatable - you can't find a more welcoming atmosphere anywhere else in town.There's two dishes that absolutely stole the show. The chili was incredibly unique with its own distinctive smoke flavor that sets it apart from any standard bar chili and the wings were quite frankly out of this world - perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Overall very happy with the overall experience that we got at Salty Dog Tavern. I definitely would go back the hostess was amazing and she was very attentive. We went for the wings and we were not disappointed we were happy that they were very meaty good and had a great texture. The prices were Fair in align with everybody else. The biggest thing that was a difference was the awesome flavors they had the buffalo hot was very good not too spicy but had great flavor. My wife had the jerk and she said she really liked it as well.
