Such a fun place! We have stopped by a few times and keep going back for more! It is quaint and has friendly staff to serve you delicious local drinks and mixed cocktails! Coloring books, board games, comfortable seating and a boat load of hospitality! Stopped by for their Christmas gathering and enjoyed some apps and drinks! We felt like we were part of their family or like we were part of a Hallmark movie! So much fun, we can’t wait to get back!
A wonderful little gem! A great place, with friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Great beer selection and a creative cocktail menu. This place is like a home away from home for us.
The owner and staff are amazing! I just found out I am pregnant and the Virgin cocktail they made me was delicious and it was so fun!
Friendly owner and people, lots of books and records, quiet inside and out. I would not hesitate to go back again. Thank you
Great beer! Kool concept..vintage vibe
Jukebox…old albums books,snacks…

Cool place for beginner musicians that want to play in front of a crowd!! Just wish they sold regular domestic beer .
Came here for some guitar strings and the employee was super awesome
Quality music school with a professional and trustworthy staff.
Really great place to stop by and get an instrument. The prices seem a bit higher but the quality is surely within the quality you’d expect.
I bought a ukulele here and the quality and sound lived up to the price.
Very knowledgeable and friendly.
My daughter is signed up for lessons and her teacher is great (I hear the others are as well). Just try not to deal with the guy that owns it.
I tried to return my daughter’s Viola due to the school no longer providing classes. It was a total nightmare to get an answer in regards to my credit. They are very irresponsible and I am very disappointed by the lack of care towards my return which was even misplaced! Mom and dad are not helpful at all and he should really look at keeping them home, they make things worse!
Arrived at 10:00am (they open at 10am, but not today). I waited and they finally arrived. All I needed was guitar strings, but they had none. What a waste of time.
6. Asetta Strings/Michael Asetta Luthier
Address: 5 Fern Ln, Middle Haddam, CT 06456 , Lake Pocotopaug , Connecticut , United States
Mike does a great job on repairs, both large and small. And he has a nice selection of new and used upright basses as well. I found him just on an internet search but have since come to rely on him for purchases and repairs as well as advice.
Had one of the best shopping experiences I’ve ever had. Knowledgeable. Passionate about music. Really took the time to show me the nuances of the guitars for sale. Can’t say enough positive. A++++++++++
This guitar store is amazing! Great selection and knowledgeable staff!
Highest quality guitars, sold by a great staff at very competitive prices!
Had a guitar cable when I needed it.
Not many mandolins
Thé Owners are lousy business
No prices listed
12. McDonald’s
Address: 15 E High St, East Hampton, CT 06424 , Lake Pocotopaug , Connecticut , United States
The employees for the most part are kind. Quick. Efficient.
Food always fresh and hot. They have great service. Thanks
Fair meal. Cheap fish sandwich
Fries & nuggets I ordered were lukewarm
It’s McDonald’s, so you know what you’re getting in terms of food quality. This one seems to be more expensive (others are still offering 20 nuggets for $5, it’s $6.99 here. Also the ratio of time my food is wrong vs when it’s right is higher here than other McDonald’s I’ve been to
Super fast service. Never mess up my order. Employees are overly enthusiastic to make sure the customer leaves happy. Highly recommended
I normally have a good experience. But this time I had to go back in two times to get my meal corrected
Rude employees
13. ECO Coffee House
Address: 82 Main St, East Hampton, CT 06424 , Lake Pocotopaug , Connecticut , United States
Best coffee around. We drive 30 minutes and pass several coffee houses to get here. You cannot beat the brewed coffee, and the handcrafted espresso beverages and cocktails are to die for. The atmosphere is laid back, and the service is extraordinary!!
The ☕️ place that makes my ♥️ happy!
Liked this coffee store. We had ordered Cappuccino and americano and both were good. This store currently don’t offer inside sitting but they do have outdoor sitting arrangements.
Rico el café que me tomé
Good coffee just wish it wasn’t window service only. Also wish almond milk was an option
My wife, a newborn and myself were out for a walk through local businesses in East Hampton (hey, shop local! Right?), while walking through the store next door we ended up at the ECO Coffee Shop, before we even made to the counter the lady upfront said “i’m sorry, but children are not allowed at my “tavern”, i know she is small but i just got approved for alcohol and children are not allowed” . First of all…. you not a tavern or anything close to it. Second of all… maybe a “hello” first will be nice and third of all… how are you going to stay in business when parents with children wanting coffee cannot come in…. shame! If i wanted to go to a tavern, there are nicer places in town. You have lost a customer and ill make sure to let everyone i know in east hampton know not to spend money in your “tavern”….
Worst coffee experience
Today was the first time I have stepped into this restaurant and it’s going to be my last. I came in with bunch of my friends for a quick meal and a coffee. The hostess name “Susan” was very rude from the beginning. We ordered 3 cappuccinos and she made it with 2 shots of espresso for an 8oz (Small). We politely asked if she can make us another coffee with only 1 shot and her response was very rude and she said ‘this is the only way how I make it’. We couldn’t drink the coffee and had to throw all of them away. She don’t know what ‘extra hot’ means. What a shame! Simple requests like extra hot coffee were treated like impositions. The overall disdainful attitude and treating every customers like they owe them something. Customers don’t care why you hate your job, they just want to drink, eat and go. Me and my friends are never going back to this place again. Such a disappointment!
Went here after seeing it so busy so often. Bought an 8 dollar coffee walked away started drinking it didn’t feel it was anything to go crazy about and on top of that I realized there was a hair inside of the whipped creme while eating it. 2 stars for the food becuase the cookie on top was good.
14. The Music Shop
Address: 405 Queen St, Southington, CT 06489 , Lake Pocotopaug , Connecticut , United States
The best small town music shop! I love how friendly everyone is there. Especially Scott, he is always very upbeat and knowledgeable. He looks out for the customer’s best interest. I would definitely recommend The Music Shop to anyone.
Professional and high quality service from a multi-generation family owned business. Scott and his staff truly care about your progress as a musician. Their music teachers are highly educated and patient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my family’s music needs.
Great Place.Awesome Teachers
Great place but website could be better such as pics of some used equipment. I’m a drummer and would like to see what they have for new and used cymbals,stands,drum kits etc. And prices. I have done business with them and always had a great experience the reason for three stars is the website doesn’t do the music shop justice. All and all great store great people.
The cellos were in not in good shape and we had to pay a luthiere to redo repairs that were poorly done when we received the instrument.

Michael is a super helpful and knowledgeable salesman. I love your guys little store super dope!
Josh and Jeff were EXTREMELY helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and patient!
I had to call a few times regarding instrument rental. They both knew exactly what I needed–when I had no clue–and were very accommodating to my needs.
