The Corner Pug has the feel of a classic English pub, with dark wood, candleholders sheathed in green glass and various knickknacks perched on the wall moldings. Couples snuggle into mahogany and leather booths for romantic dates and friends meet at the bar, which offers 12 beers on tap, including a fine selection of English ales. The Corner Pug serves a late-night menu until a half-hour before closing time, which is later than most Hartford-area restaurants. Corner Pug’s menu is a cross between a pub and a steak house menu, with some comfort food thrown in—skewered shrimp, St. Louis ribs, French onion soup with gruyere, shepherd’s pie, pot pies. Simple favorites like the Mac ‘N Cheese are incredible. It is very comfortable place to eat or stop in for a drink and the bill won’t empty your wallet.

Plan B is sure to be on the top of everybody’s list of favorite restaurants soon. Burgers are what Plan B does best, and they have created some tasty, inventive burgers you won’t soon forget. Their original burger is outstanding, but for something a little more exciting, you should try the East Coast Burger, topped with roasted tomato, fried onions, horseradish cream and—wait for it—lobster. With all of the tantalizing creations on the menu it is hard to choose just one thing; a solution is the Burger Flight, offering a selection of palm-size beef, chicken, and salmon burgers. The restaurant contains an attractive, open, curved bar with an exposed wooden beam liquor rack in the front. It is a popular place to go for drinks—the bar area is usually packed on the weekends—but be sure to bring an appetite: it is almost impossible to resist the menu items. How can you say no to the Beef Wellington Bites: mini nibbles of rare steak in flaky pastry atop a sea of rich blue cheese dressing?
