Statesman Tavern

Environment is chill, low-key but with a certain air of class to it. Prices are very reasonable all things considered. Very pleased with my recent visit, which happened to be my first - Chris the barkeep whipped up a great mezcal cocktail (pictures) which is on special this week! He's a great guy and made me feel right at home despite my being from out of state. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Blues & BBQ theme (Monday) - great tunes and some unexpectedly great BBQ. Had the "three meats" which included brisket, pork and chicken - see pictures of food and menu. I did not expect such good BBQ from this area, and I'm pleasantly surprised! I'll certainly be back next time I'm in Bristol, and I wholly recommend you drop by for the Blues & BBQ nights!

Charming Tavern in-town with indoor dining and outdoor dining with views of bristol harbor. Excellent fine dining with a nice balanced menu of meats and thoughtful vegetable offerings. Contemporary cocktails with old fashioned flourishes such as spiced peach chips, rosemary, gin, and flaming presentations. Definitely worth a visit. Open during pandemic Wednesday - Saturday.

We love all their dishes and especially "steak night" on wednesdays! We have always had friendly servers and bartenders. On our last visit we had take out and it all traveled well (burger, fish sandwich, calamari, clam cakes and fries) and it wasn't soggy like some take out can be, it was soooo delicious!

Went to the statesman tavern for the first time tonight and its one of the better places around Bristol, especially for the prices. The food was very good. I had the butternut squash bisque and the chicken sandwich. I didn't want it breaded or fries so the chef was accommodating and made a nice plate with salad and grilled instead of deep fried. Atmosphere is nice and the soundtrack is awesome. Great place for anyone that wants to have a nice night out...solo or with people.
