OMG, the band on Saturday night was sooooo good! The lead singer can belt out some tunes and the rest of them can play!!! We had lunch there and heard there was live music which, is the only place in this small town that has it!! The house cab was good and only $10 a glass so not bad. It's small but that didn't stop me from finding a little room on the floor to dance up a storm! They have outside seating as well for anyone who worried about covid! Definitely stop by this historic place when you're in town!

Such a unique place! It's just oozing with history and stories. The decor really fits the theme too. Food and service were both great! They had live piano playing in the taproom and a band slated for later. We had a great time overall!

Griswold Greetings! Perhaps you have called by now - mysteriously, sometimes these questions don't always come through one of our "normal" channels. If you did call, you know the answer. If not - and for those out there that might be reading this - YES, we do have AC throughout. As many do not know, The Griswold Inn is comprised of the Main Inn - which houses our restaurants, Tap Room and several of our guest rooms - as well as 6 other historic buildings and a barn we are currently renovating. Almost all of our guest rooms enjoy central air (and heat). For the few that are "on the list" for a central system (though they have recently received a refresh), they do have ac units and are quite cool (and cozy in the winter!). All modesty aside - the place IS lovely. You may wish to try out one of our recently renovated suites - #5 is pictured on the home page of our website. They are quite spacious, comfortable - and cool! Hope to see you here next month!
Hi there. I see the local guide has answered... (Thank you Laurie Kraus!) Reservations are accepted for indoor dining: outdoors is first-come, first-served. (We have heat lamps!) :)
I think so.
The Ivoryton Playhouse is iles down the road: we have an overnight package with them right now - tickets are discounted. We have a similar package with Goodspeed Musicals, just a 15-minute scenic drive away!
We’re serve Monday through Saturday from noon to 2:30 pm. Our Tap Room offers Tavern Fare from 2:30 until 7:30 on those days. On Sunday we offer our famous Hunt Breakfast from 11-1 and then offer tavern fare again from 1:30 until 7:30 pm. 😊
You should contact the hotel for availability.
Hello Danielle - Sadly I have just discovered, as an owner, how to respond to these questions. Previously it was "not allowing" me to post my reply for some reason... In any case - thanks to the google community for responding on our behalf. We do have some rooms that have peaks of a water view...But as others have mentioned, Essex Harbor, the majestic Connecticut River and the marinas are mere steps away from our Front Door. When booking a room, please ask the Front Desk for a room with a "glimpse" if that's important to you!
