This week we were in Connecticut visiting friends, and happened to stumble upon a gem of a restaurant hidden in the small, quaint town of Bethel.  Greenwood Grille & Ale House serves up a variety of craft beers on tap along with specialty bottled beers.

Along with some deliciously hand-crafted burgers and entrees, patrons can participate in events such as happy hour specials, monthly beer tastings with food pairings, and live entertainment.

Greenwood has become known as one of the area’s premium beer bars, which features their own Greenwood Ale, produced in Oxford, Connecticut.  The grille and ale house is the place to be in the town’s center, with lines going the door on the weekends.

Greenwood’s owner has served up the finest cuisine throughout the Connecticut and New York City.  Some of the highlights from the menu include skinny onion rings and The Spice, a burger topped with avocado, jalapenos and queso blanco.

Here is a picture of one of Greenwood’s featured craft beers, Rogue’s Double Chocolate Stout.  This chocolaty beer hit the spot after having one of the signature burgers.  Another craft beer that we had was the Dogfish Head 90 Minute India Pale Ale.

Greenwood’s Grille & Ale House opens at 11:30AM daily, with late night menu options on Friday and Saturday nights.

Greenwood’s is located at 186 Greenwood Avenue in Bethel, Connecticut.
