  this is a fun roadside bar/club we found by accident about 3 years ago on rte 2 on the way from mohegan to foxwoods. we had such a great time, with cheap shots and a big outside deck that we always remembered it. last night we were thinking of a place to go for new years eve that wouldn't be too pricey or fancy but would still be a great time. we remembered this place so we went, and it was the perfect fun party atmosphere. mixed clientele and generally a good time. free champagne at midnight and free new years hats. i haven't tried any food here but i hear it's good.

  Little kids run the bar.  Kids behind the bar making their own drinks..... If I was 21 y/o this would be fun..

  I agree with Daniel S. This place would have gotten 4-5 stars from me in the past but it has definitely gone down hill hard. There used to be a lot of girls who were friendly and talked to you without you having to worry about  her "baby-daddy" picking a pointless fight with you. The DJ used to be this crazy old fat dude with a long white wig that played pretty decent music, now the new DJ plays 99% r&b and rap, which of course pushed away the normal friendly people and brought in the trouble. Now a lot of guys walk around with a chip on their shoulder there like they are the dictionary's definition of "thug life".... but they forget we live in CT and the concept of a gangster here is ridiculous.  There are now the occasional stabbing and "gang" fight. Also the music is way, way too, loud to the point where you cannot hear yourself think, which is normal at a dance club, but brookside is far from one. The bar tenders are, in my opinion, the best part of this place. They have never done wrong by me and I have been going here for a long time. Also the mechanical bull and fat chick thing is all but, too true... it's like a magnet for fat chicks wearing mini skirts *shutters*. Good location, good size, great service, terrible patrons.

  Top ten kinds of people who go to this place
  
  10. Douche-bag baseball hat wearin guys
  9. People who enjoy shitty hot wings
  8. Hot girls that need their overbearing boyfriends to get belligerent when some guy hits on them to justify their relationship.
  7. Hot bartenders who think that being hot is enough. Almost....
  6. Guys who's only talent in life involves pool.
  5.  Fat chicks who, for some ungodly reason, like to ride mechanical bulls (The only redeeming value of this place).
  4. Underage fast and furious kids.
  3. At least 10 Ed Hardy fans
  2. 7 foot tall bartender! Seriously. This guy is a freaken ridiculous!
  1. NOT ME!
