Elm City Tap house

SLEAZY PLACE THAT OVERCHARGES. They tried to charge me $9 more than what I should have paid -- They tried to add an extra 0 to the tip I left on my card. Typical of an overpriced bar trying to take advantage of people drinking who might not remember what they purchased. Vibe was weird... DJ was subpar and didn't really play anything good. It was dirty and people barely danced. Definitely not worth paying cover for. Card minimum is $10, which is probably their attempt to make up the difference since most drinks seem to range from$6-8. Buy with a friend. Closing was incredibly abrupt and they kicked everyone out a solid 15 minutes before they actually closed. Between all that and their attempt to overcharge me, we definitely won't be back.

One of the best spaces in new haven, lots of seating, the architecture in this place is really amazing the bartenders are really friendly so were the promoters, the only thing it's missing somebody to stand behind it and do good advertising and get a good DJ... this place can be one of the best bars and nightclubs in New Haven

Service is subpar, definitely lower class than the previous “Vanity” atmosphere. Bouncers are terrible… harass you at the front door. Was kicked out for simply watching my friends girlfriend by the bathroom. Will never visit again.
