Came here for trivia on a Monday night with some friends and ordered the friar tuck's burger. The burger was good but the service was excellent. Super friendly staff all around and a fun place to come for trivia or to watch a game and hang out with friends.
Awesome place on Water St in Mystic. Off Main. 24 beers on tap. Had scotch eggs & calamari! Both were awesome. I had a local Rever Oo A Flagpole IPA from Newtown Ct and the bride had a Konig Ludwig Weissbier both were very good. Small place local vibe worth the stop for sure. Would have had pics of the food but once again... my belly came first
Just stopped for lunch. I had the chicken BLT (i forgot to take a picture) and it was awesome. The fried chicken in it was crispy and morish. My wife had the falafel wrap and she enjoyed it also. Service was great and a selection of 20 beers on tap ( if that's your thing). I'd go again!
It doesn't matter that you may have to pay for parking! This place is great. The seating area is not spacious but that adds to the fun sometimes. We started with calamari and dragon style wings. Both had some heat and were great. Steak tips were flavored nicely and paired well with spinach, smashed potatoes and onion straws. The burger was very good. But I think the show stopper was fish n chips. Pair these with a great beer selection or bar or Pepsi product and you'll have a great night here with friends hanging out or watching the game.
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!
My girlfriend, friends and I met up for dinner when my friend from Brooklyn came up. Late, Friday night, food was needed. For those that don't know, Mystic is pretty much dead after 8pm. I looked at options and Friar Tuck's was the option, and it absolutely was the correct answer! We walked in and instantly were seated. They were packed but even in a small space, we had a spot. We got menus and our drink orders were taken. First off, beer selection: plenty. Craft beer, domestics, plentiful. They also have tons of drink options for those wanting something stronger. We made our food order: scotch eggs, chicken club sandwich, fish and chips, and a Reuben. The food came out FAST. The scotch eggs... I never had one until then, and I was not disappointed! Hot, VERY flavorful, but sadly not enough. I could've eaten more of these! Then for the main dishes. I had the bangers and mash, and it was perfection. Sausages cooked perfectly with the snap when you bite. Savory, perfectly seasoned, and the gravy tied everything together. There was a small hiccup: my friend who ordered the Reuben, was given the steak sandwich accidentally. He told the waiter and the waiter instantly apologized. My friend wasn't upset about it though, still an exceptional sandwich! The waiter came back with the correct order but after my friend had told him it wasn't a problem at all. He even insisted to not charge him. As soon as he left my friend went "tough s*it, he's still getting $20 and a tip". We all laughed about it, because hey, a busy tavern open late night Friday in mystic, accidents happen, and this isn't a life changing accident. Just the fact the waiter was kind, patient, and that considerate, easily deserved a higher tip, at the very least. All in all, a fantastic experience and we will go back there the next time we find ourselves in the area!
Friar Tuck's Tavern is in the area where all the food is downtown. It's always difficult to find parking here; I personally got lucky finding parking in the lot by the art museum, but even spots there were very limited. The Tavern itself has an indoor and outdoor seating area. The indoor scene seems to cater towards those watching sports on the TVs and drinking beer, while the outside patio is more for hanging out and enjoying the weather and chatting with company. For an appetizer, I got the Crab Dip which came with naan. It was very cheesy and had a good amount of imitation crab, and I enjoyed it very much. This is definitely a sizable portion meant to be shared between 2-3 people. For my entree, I got the Bangers and Mash. The mashed potatoes were smooth, the onions were flavorful, and I especially enjoyed the pork sausage. It was good but nothing crazy. The service was nice but a bit slow.
Very rowdy and loud crowd due to the Celtic's game. However, the bar is a nice set up. I love how it's an indoor outdoor feel. There is an extensive dinner menu, but we just ate so we only had drinks. I ordered a spicy margarita non-alcoholic. It's not the best I have had, but I still enjoyed it. My husband ordered the Two Roads Summer Heaven. He really liked it. Place was packed, so it's clearly a hot spot in Mystic.
