If you like beer you will like this place. Amazing selection of draft beers and then really good bottle list. Food is pretty good very limited in their menu but good none the less. they have popcorn and peanuts to snack on as you enjoy your pint. Very cozy little bar in the winter big fireplace right in the bar keeps it nice and toasty.
Review Source:Great beer selection! Â Anyone who loves trying local beers should check this place out and ask about the wall of foam club.
This pub is a small cozy place with a nice outdoor patio with a fire pit. The bartender we had was very friendly and knowledgable about all the beers on their menu.
They do have food here, although the selection is limited to a few sandwiches and appetizers. Â I didn't get a chance to try any of the food, but it all looked good.
If you're looking for a nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a few brews, take a look at this place.
A very odd place to review. Â It's a very small pub in the center of town -maybe 8 booths and 15 barstools - that's it. Â
Their actual menu has a few more choices than their on-line menu, but it's still a very limited choice of a roast beef sandwich, turkey sandwich, beef stew, corned beef sandwich, or a meatball sub for $9. Â The real star here is the beer - over 50 choices plus 15 wines all neatly written on their huge blackboard.
I ordered a Leffe Belgian Blonde ($6) and a Warsteiner  ($5), I liked the first choice a lot better than the second choice.
Red Stone is most definitely a drinking establishment- There was a big crowd of drinkers seated on every barstool, they all seemed like regulars. They seemed to know each other, and the staff seemed to know them. 95% male. Â I sat at one of the booths and didnt really generate any interest from the staff. After I sat down, no one came over. I walked to the bar to order beer #1. No one came over. I went to the bar to order a Reuben sandwich then sat down. No one came over. My sandwich was delivered and I ordered beer # 2. After the beer was delivered, no one came over to check on me. I went to the bar to get my check, paid and left. So suffice it to say that the customer service was a zero.
The sandwich was OK- a decent size with marble rye toast, corned beef, and a few shreds of sauerkraut and cheese. Certainly not the best Reuben I ever had, but serviceable. It was served with a choice of chips, slaw or a pickle. I went for the slaw, but was surprised to see they also gave me a really good whole pickle cut into 4 spears.
I like a cold beer as much as anyone, but I don't know enough about the 50 beers offered to rave about any one of them. Â If you are a beer hound- you might enjoy the Red Stone. I can't see myself ever returning- what with the nearby Iron Frog and Lyme Bar offering so much more..
This place is really great. It isn't the typical pub some may expect as one of the yelpers was disappointed. If you are looking for a rowdy, loud, messy place, then this isn't for you. The red stone pub is extremely clean, the staff was friendly and quick when it came to needing another drink or taking food orders. It is a great happy hour place for young professionals in the area. Also, they have some delicious food, the menu is small but the food was great!
Review Source:Happened upon this place because the Iron Frog was closed for remodeling.
Walking in, there is a gorgeous re-purposed barn door to greet it's patrons, beautiful brick walls and a feel of a few of the Scottish Pubs I frequented while living in Scotland. Â That's just about where the feel of a "pub" began and ended.
My friend and I really wished we had gone anywhere but here. Â Very pretentious patrons made us feel a bit out of place. Â We felt under dressed in jeans and sweaters as it seems this bar caters to a business/Simsbury elite crowd. Â
Sure, they have loads of craft beer selections, but only up on a chalk wall far enough away from where we sat that even with my glasses on I still couldn't read. Â When we asked our waiter for comparable beers to what we normally would drink (my friend usually drinks Chimay, I'm more of a Belgium Ale kinda gal), he couldn't think of any, so we took our shot at ordering something off the wall, no pun intended. Â You can never go wrong with beer if you drink enough of it, however, this place should stick to beer and leave the food for the better restaurants in the area.
My friend and I ordered the nachos for a snack and were highly disappointed at the whole experience. Â It took ages for our server to even ask if we wanted food, and once flagged down, we were promised their food was unlike any other we'd had. Â If by unlike any other, he meant pitifully bland and boring, then, yes, he's right. Â I tend to stay away from food like that.
Our nachos came out on a paper plate with  barely enough cheese to cover the tortilla chips.  it literally looked like something I whip together at home when I'm out of food and too lazy to venture out to the store.  Only difference was that these nacho's cost us more than they were worth and we weren't even given a fork or extra places to share.  Family style dining with my best friend, at it's best.
A lot of my friends dig this place, but I know of plenty of other places that feel more like home.
This pub was fantastic! Â I am so glad to have a genuine pub in town that has such a wonderful variety of beer. Â Instead of the usual tap and bottle list that one sees in most 'pubs' in the area, this one does not disappoint. Â I had Greenflash West Coast IPA on draught, as well as the best roast beef sandwich I have ever consumed. Â I quickly made friends with the people sitting around me, and went home happy. Â I will be coming back to Red Stone very soon! Â Five stars for this pub!
Review Source:While in Simsbury over the holidays, I wanted to check out some of the local flavor; I didn't need to look any further than Red Stone Pub. Their selection of beers, both bottled and on tap, was extensive. Being a hop-head, I was happily impressed by their variety of IPA's. The pub had a relaxed atmosphere that made for easy conversation - they even had a fire going to keep their clientele warm and comfy. But, what's a pub without grub? Their menu, while not big, was quite tasty. I guess the menu doesn't need to be large when you know you make a killer roast beef sandwich (and they do). The Red Stone Pub was a great find. The locals were friendly and it was just that kind of neighborhood spot that you walk into and feel like a part of the community. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
Review Source:I was told this Pub was open in February of 2011. It's very clean inside and very welcoming. This is a pub, an enormous selection of beers, bottled or draft. The Guinness I had was perfect. The food menu is limited. We saw two sandwich selections and some appetizers. The roast beef is a good quality from Braveheart Meats. Â They shave the meat when it's ordered, Â so it's really fresh. Â The owners are really friendly and welcoming. Â Fireplace is working during the Fall and Winter. Â Really cozy.
