Bridge Street Live

I love the place and so does everyone I've introduced to it.

Bridge Street Live is certainly making it's mark as a destination in the CT entertainment circuit.

The parking layout and surface isn't the best, but there seemed to be enough space when we arrived. The venue itself is quite nice, and the staff was friendly. The sound was done very well (at least for the night we were there), and they seem to have some pretty good acoustics going on. Bathrooms were pretty clean, and the overall layout of the venue was very good. The seating was ok as well.

Unfortunately, service was a bit slow as the customer to server ratio was quite lopsided. Just like at Toads, if you want a drink fast, then you better go get it yourself. We had dinner elsewhere, so we can't comment on the food. The main reason I'm not giving BSL 4 stars is because of the drink prices vs. the drink quality. I totally understand that a venue like this will be charging top dollar for drinks, but at least serve some good-tasting drinks! The mixed drinks we had were pretty bad.

Overall, we liked it and will be back. We'll just need to drink water, or something else instead of mixed drinks next time.

BSL: Why didn't I know about you before now??
My friend who lives in town invited me to see the Sierra Leone All Stars. What a great band and what a great venue. We were in the smaller music hall and I know they have a larger one for bigger shows.
They have wait service that comes to your table to see if you want something to drink. They offer beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. There are little signs on your table that if you click on are red (meaning you're all set) and if you click them to white means you need to order something.
They offer a limited food menu with some apps and simple entrees like sandwiches and salads.
They have a great outdoor deck that overlooks the water. They offer Sunday brunch which is out on the deck. I would definitely go for brunch for the views and would go to another show in a heartbeat.
