This place, I believe, is still associated with the 1249 Winebar and CT Taproom next door. Like the restaurant they seem to want to exude class for both fine wines and beers but, while I'm no expert in wines, I can vouch that their beer selection is very pedestrian by today's standards. They initially had an article in the newspaper that included notes about their special knowledge in beers and how they would cater to the beer lovers of greater Waterbury. Each time I've stopped in I can hardly find anything I haven't already consumed and much of it just doesn't push the palate. All the usual craft beer buzzword beers and little more. Why do these business owners profess knowledge and focus but fail to make any effort? Perhaps that was adequate when the market offered so little to the adventurous beer fans of the world, but now there are plenty of decent to outstanding choices for buying unusual and exceptional beers, even in the Waterbury area. This place is ordinary for beer selection, not recommended unless you want some wine help. It pretty much reflects my experience with the restaurant. A wannabe.
