We all love Scottish Dave's. It's a great place to see live bands and knock a few back. Dave is a cultural treasure to have in CT and the music scene as a whole.

It’s always a memorable and pleasant time at Scottish Dave’s pub! Dave certainly does his best to provide a welcoming atmosphere for everyone that walks in the door. The man has great taste in beer, food, and music. Best Scottish pub in all of the U.S! Looking forward to going back!

Dave is the man! He and his wife are such lovely people. I always have a great time and feel very welcomed there. They have had some really great shows and are LGBTQ and weirdo friendly, which is so very important to me.

Live original music many nights, reasonably priced drinks every night. The proprietors are the kindest people among all those that walk the earth and the bartenders are pretty amazing too.

Scottish Dave is a treasure. He runs an excellent pub and as a band from out of state, he hosted us graciously. I have also visited this place previously as a patron, and I was so excited for my band to play there, and it certainly lived up to my expectations. 10/10, would recommend

Connecticut’s Scottish Embassy! The greatest ambassador of hospitality! Amazing establishment with top notch bands every week. They got a new PA recently and it sounds amazing 5/5

Love, love, loved this place! I went to see The Dreadnoughts play at this bar, as they often do, apparently, and it was a riot! Scottish Dave himself got up on mic and sang his heart out for the crowd, which a local told me he loves to do. Great people, great atmosphere and decor, and great entertainment!
