August - New Haven

Incredible service, great cocktails and eating. a place in east rock must not be missing. I can't recommend august anymore. update: still great. still loves it.

My mother and I almost stumbled out in the august and I am so glad we have. it is the most charming weeping to which I had pleasure to go. the choice is always delicious and michelle is always there to welcome them and help them to choose and describe the wee. the service is unbelievable- everyone wants to work there and wants to enjoy what they drink and/or eat. they serve light food like sausages, schishito paprika and pâté, but everything is so delicious. I go here every time a friend comes to the city because there is no better place to take them in new haven for a cozy night for wein and cheese.

August is one of the best bars I have ever been to. The excellent ambiance from the decor to the music makes it an excellent date spot or place to catch up with a small group. The staff is very friendly and has been super important in helping me better understand wine. They make great recommendations and then can tell you why you like something so you can take that knowledge with you. They have a great wine selection (and a couple beers! and the food is excellent as well.

Exorbitantly expensive for the level of quality you can get elsewhere. Staff were awkward and seemed uncomfortable around my friend and I.

The quintessential tiny bar, august is a new haven best kept secret. with a maximum capacity of probably not more than 20 people, they arrive early to ensure a seat and make sure they order from their charcuterie menu, it makes fun to watch as it mounted directly on the bar.
