Dutch Tavern

It's a great bar to drink alone. The place is a dive in a good way and the beer is cheep.

As a native of New London, it's easy to be biased but simply put the Dutchy is everything a watering hole should be. If you can find a more unpretentious place to have a beer, go there instead - but you won't. Owner Peter Detmold is also lead singer of New London's finest band The Reducers. Fond memories of sweaty dancing at the El N' Gee to The Reducers followed by more beers at the Dutchy. Amen.

This place is a complete dive!  I love that!  sometimes there will be poets performing or a lone guitar player.  Sometimes it is just people hunched over papers.  Sometimes it is a gaggle of college kids airing it out away from campus.  You never really know what to expect but it is definitely an experience.  The place is pretty comfortable for a small bar and I love to grab a bite and several beers and just lose a few hours in the quiet darkness.  This is absolutely one of those don't miss type of places.
