Bar Max

This place is incredible. A great vibe, great food and the best group of bartenders around. Every time I come here I have an amazing experience and it feels like home. Thank you!!

I absolutely LOVE when my clients want to include a chic bar into their engagement images! I will ALWAYS mention this place when doing so. They are so lenient and accommodating - I am never intruding on service or the patrons - which is really important when you use this venue. The drinks are always TOP NOTCH!

Our first time at this establishment since it changed hands and it certainly will not be our last. My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed the craft cocktails and conversation with Moriah. Looking forward to returning on a night when they have live entertainment.

Such a great Vibe, Djs on the weekends are great. The menu has drinks both unique and delicious. Friendly staff, great manager.

Awesome Vibes here! Staff is a ton of fun, drinks are creative! Shout out to Moriah & Sway! We will be coming back!

Stopped in for happy hour and I’m glad I did. I had an artisan cocktail and a burrata appetizer, both delicious. Service was good and the staff was great!

Bar Max is an absolute gem in Hartford! Every visit over the past few months has been an absolute pleasure. The cocktails, food, and ambiance are all top-tier.

Went on a Thursday night in January and they had a lovely jazz guitar trio playing all my favorite songs. I heard they were from Boston so it made it even more fun! The vibe was relaxed and the Prosecco and rose were delicious. I highly recommend adding it to your MUST DO list for Hartford.

As an African-American coming into a bar, that’s very welcoming & warm & pleasant without no judgment. It’s a pleasure… highly recommend for anybody passing through downtown Hartford ! Thank you.

Lovely time in downtown Hartford for some late night drinks and ice cream. What drew us in was this lovely music trio, Madison Blues. Fast service and wonderful ambiance. Definitely glad to have popped in. A very pleasant surprise.
