Voted best Mexican restaurant in the entire state of Connecticut in 2021! Crazy enough, the name of the restaurant might have been a nod to the famous movie starring Jack Nicholson, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. The founding owner, Jim Fitzpatrick, wanting to test his luck of the Irish and open a Mexican joint! 40 years later, Cuckoo's Nest is still in staple in the community. Indoor and outdoor seating available with a menu with something for everyone. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the dishes, but I personally recommend the street tacos and the 'taco truck' burrito! P.S: Live music on the patio every Thursday night during the nicer months! Call to confirm

Simply amazing, recently named one of the ‘Best Bars in America’ by Esquire (they’re right). The small plates are incredible and pair so well with super eclectic and complex yet tasty cocktails. Live Music on Tuesdays and Fridays. Happy Hour at 5 PM.

After spending some at Ocean Beach, or just because, head down to the Arcade. A little more retro than Dave and Buster’s, but in the best way possible
