Take a step back in time when you enter this new downtown Southington, CT restaurant with decor and cocktails that are reminiscent of the prohibition era. Ideal Tavern opened this month and it is a great new spot to check out! Hand crafted, unique cocktails and delicious plates for sharing create an atmosphere of fun and the smooth jazz renditions playing in the background make you feel like you are in a different time and place. We ordered a little bit of everything and highly recommend the arancini balls with avocado aioli and the Mozzarella burratta with prosciutto. Also, the fried green tomatoes were delicious (pictured below). They have a bar bites menu during happy hour and some drink discounts too.

Ideal Tavern is beautifully decorated inside and the service was excellent. Definitely worth the visit and a great addition to downtown Southington! Check out their Facebook page to stay updated on more news and events! Salute!
