J. Lawrence Downtown located at 186 Greenwood Ave in Bethel is named "Best Bar" by Connecticut Magazine. Ok, let's get specific: Best for a First Date (But You're Broke).
Connecticut Magazine says, "This new bar and restaurant is a great spot for a casual date. Located in a historic downtown Bethel building, it has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. You can get wine, beer or cocktails and enjoy a menu of elevated comfort cuisine. Whether you grab drinks and a few appetizers as you talk — the Pilgrim Poutine is a favorite of ours — or settle in for the whole meal, there are plenty of options.
Added perks: It's Bethel Restaurant week and J. Lawrence is participating! Read more here.
