Rabbit Hole Tavern - Old Saybrook

Came in for a beer after eating at Jax Rabbits next door. Honestly wish we would've ate and had a drink here. Atmosphere is totally bar like, but cool vibe and it was really busy. Our waitress was ontop of things and this place does have outdoorseating. Music was going, people were chatting which made it more on the louder side, but fun. Enjoyed ourselves. We were ableto get a table that fit a wheelchair, so we were happy. This place is a redo for some night time fun.

If you are looking for good quality pub food at a fair price, you found it here at this cute little place in the heart of Old Saybrook. Embedded on Main Street, RHT offers good food and good service. That was my first visit to RHT and it was not disappointed. I came with my sister. She got a chopped Greek salad that came in an epic tower. I have the Cobb Salad that was perfectly mixed with fresh ingredients. We split some ham without bones. The wings were perfectly crispy, but delicate in the middle. I don't know what magic they got, but I'm going back. The frits were tasteful and perfectly crispy. We came at 11:30 on Saturday and were the first there. When we were gone, there were 3-4 other couples. I guess this place is packed in the evening and especially in the summer. The food is served on ceramic plates, but utensils and drinks in plastic. If that's something you're interested, don't give it a thought when you dig into the food. Bottom line, try, you won't be disappointed.

Great dogs and beer choices, great little sports bar.

I would have given 5 stars, but the smell when entering the bar was quite unpleasant. Smelled like spilled day old beer, setting that to the side everything else was wonderful. Typical bar scene, but the food tasted better than that of just typical bar food and the service was quick, and the server was very friendly.Prices everywhere are rising quite insanely and it is becoming quite asinine, but the food was quite good. Burgers were juicy and properly cooked and the fries were just right. Definitely returning another time.

A Very Negative and Bizarre Server Experience Poor Service In GeneralThe servers were miserable from Day 1 I started patronizing The Rabbit Hole except Corsey. I have been patronizing this bar for over a month now at least every other night when I 'm in town. The first server I dealt with was so unpleasant. She asked me if I wanted food and I said no I wasn 't hungry. Then less than 10 minutes later I get, are you going to order food? Both times I was asked as if I was not spending enough money for Heather. I look at her and say I am not hungry. My Dad just died. Not hungry. She apologizes in a way that has zero sincerity. I am wondering why the push or if I misunderstood. I glance at the woman next to me and she nods and smiles a smirk. She clearly agrees with a look and nod of at a boy. Just a miserable hostile server. I let it go. No complaint.Over the next several weeks I get served well and then other times I get poor service. Heather never smiles and is uncomfortable to be around. Sheer misery exudes from her. Hostile. The Rabbit Hole is regularly empty so I assume it 's the lack of business. Then I realize she 's just a miserable person who never smiles towards any customer. I let it go. No complaint.I sit next to the four servers complaining over the next 6 weeks since the place is often empty at 10pm. They complain a lot. I let it go. No complaint.I 'm a medical student, a doctor next month, home to clean out my Dad 's estate for my family. I 'm not looking for trouble or creating any. I don 't talk much. I just need a beer and a social environment to offset throwing away my childhood. Not too much to ask for and an easy customer. On my way back from Block Island Thursday after being on Block Island since Monday morning I make a special stop to give one of the servers referrals to doctors I researched and vetted for her (2hrs of research). She was struggling to find a specialist and that 's easy for me. I even did the background checks. I asked her ahead of time if I could help her. She said yes.Tonight, Sunday, I go in and sit down. Heather approaches me and says we 're closed. There are patrons at the bar, the lights are on, and the doors are unlocked. Hmmm, then she says they 're closed for me. I give her a look of bewilderment. She says you made my friend uncomfortable last week and talked about me. I still give her a look of bewilderment and ask, the blonde? . She says yes. As I have stated previously, there are a lot of reasons to stop patronizing The Rabbit Hole. I said ok and walked out.Still stunned that the server who hugged me and thanked me for the referrals complained about me making her uncomfortable. I was only in once last week since I was on Block Island so it had to be her. Completely blindsided by this one. No clue what could have been misconstrued.Wondering now if it could have been two weeks ago and the server who works in the restaurant? I don 't know her name. But once again, I said nothing inappropriate to her either. She was talking about meeting her boyfriend 's parents and being nervous. Gave her some pointers and that was it. If she was uncomfortable she said nothing and I never intended to make her uncomfortable. Bizarre.Heather also said I talked about her. I assume she means negatively based on the refusal of service. Still clueless. She 's curt, rude, and miserable, but if she does not know that by now she 's in denial. However, I only ever said she was rude and unpleasant. That was over a month ago and I said it to Corsey the night after the food ordering fiasco searching for any feedback why a server would act like that to a customer. Over a month later this comes out now? Bizarre. Heather said last week and I only came in Thursday for the referral and a beer.I wonder if she got the wrong person? At least I don 't have to grin and bare Heather 's constant hostile, negative mood. Uncomfortable? You made me uncomfortable so here is my complaint. People make you uncomforta
