Featured as Connecticut’s entry among the top 50 dive bars in the country, and listed among "Things to Do in Hartford Before You Die," the Spigot has been a gathering place for UCONN Law students, Hartford firefighters, local mail carriers, politicians, and servers and bartenders from downtown Hartford to West Hartford Center for more than 56 years.

They may walk in to sip on our 100+ beers from international and local breweries (not to mention our assortment of hard seltzers, quality bourbons and other spirits), but they stay for the conversation, company, and come-as-you-are atmosphere enjoyed inside, on our patio, or in our newly renovated garage.

With 18 taps and more than 150 beers offered in our grab-your-own refrigerators, we have one of the largest beer selections in CT.

Spig-Eats, our very own food truck, lives permanently on-premises. Serving up fresh bites every Tuesday-Sunday.

We went there looking for love, or sex, or trouble, or for someone who had gone missing, because sooner or later everyone turned up there. Most of all we went there when we needed to be found.
