“We found a coupon for this cozy bowling alley on Groupon. Our family of 6 had so much fun. It was very clean and accommodating. The staff was welcoming and very sweet and patient with us and our four little ones. So happy we found this gem. We'll definitely be returning with family and friends in the future. Thank you!”

“I am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to shoot at the New Haven Lawn Club! As a wedding photographer, this venue truly sparks creativity. The beautiful grounds offer a variety of stunning backdrops, perfect for capturing every moment throughout the day. Whether it’s the lush outdoor areas or the elegant indoor spaces, there’s no shortage of incredible locations for portraits and candid shots.

The wedding suites are absolutely gorgeous, providing the perfect space for the couple to relax and prepare. The venue’s historic charm adds a unique character that’s truly special, an old-world feel combined with modern amenities making it a standout location in Connecticut.

What really sets the New Haven Lawn Club apart, though, is the attention to detail and exceptional service. From the first look to cocktail hour, the staff is incredibly attentive and ensures everything runs smoothly. They not only take care of the couple but also make sure vendors (like myself) have everything we need to make the day perfect. This allows couples to fully immerse themselves in the moments without any stress.

The ballroom is absolutely breathtaking. With its grand chandeliers and spacious layout, it’s perfect for both intimate and large celebrations. When adorned with candles and flowers, the room transforms into an unforgettable setting. It’s truly one of the hidden gems of Connecticut!

I am so excited to be working at the New Haven Lawn Club several times in 2026, it’s always a pleasure to capture such beautiful moments in such an incredible venue.”

“We had our wedding at NHCC in July 2025 and it was exceptional. The facilities and grounds were perfect for what we needed and envisioned, and Karissa was the person who brought the day together for us. She was extremely responsive, kind, and detail-oriented throughout the entire planning process. The setup and breakdown of our vendors (e.g., chairs, florals, etc.) was something I didn't need to worry about after coordinating the details beforehand. Everyone on-site just really took care of everything and made a stressful day truly stress-free. On the day of, the waitstaff/bar staff/etc. were extremely efficient and everyone had a smile on their faces. It was noticeable, and it made for a fun, energetic, and organized vibe. The grounds are immaculate and our wedding was truly beautiful. The patio for cocktail hour couldn't have been better. The dining space came together beautifully and they followed our vision for the setup and decor. We had a band for the reception, and the large room was the perfect party space. It could not have been a better night and we will recommend NHCC to anyone who is looking for excellent service for their important event. Thank you!!!”

“When you arrive you’ll be shocked in the best way, it’s even more beautiful in person. Incredibly clean spaces, the people who work there are very friendly and helpful, and it is such a relaxing space to be in. We only stayed one night which was a mistake! We will be back for a longer time next year.”

“This is More than a dance studio! Its a community center for the arts. They offer a wide variety of culturally focused dance classes. Even their fitness instruction is routed around dance and culture. The studio has a community family feel. They don't just dance but also create a safe place for kids, and women to grow artistically and personally. There is a strong focus on community, supports, positive socialization, and self care. This is more than a place to learn to dance, this a community. Never any pressure to perform. Non competitive approach to dance and art.”

“My birthday was so phenomenal I had a surprise paint party night. It was awesome and Chloe was so sweet and patient with us. The art work was so beautiful great place.”

“We had our wedding reception at the Elm City Club in mid-June. From start to finish across the board, we could not have had a better experience. Sandra was at once down-to-earth, matter-of-fact, and exceedingly personable when we had our first meeting. She was clearly paying close attention to the kind of wedding we wanted and guided us through each aspect of the planning process. The tasting for our meal selections made us feel like special guests at a fine dining restaurant, and the bartender went above and beyond to create a specialty British cocktail that we’d mentioned.

The day of could not have been more perfect. Elm City took care of every aspect of the reception—flowers, candles, food, drinks, everything—and it was all better than we could have hoped for. I think almost every one of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had (the dessert table deserves a special mention among special things), and were quite frankly staggered that Elm City had done all the table arrangements as well. The Club also ensured that my sister and her husband could stay at the venue so as to be close to their six-month old. Finally, we can’t begin to say how much we appreciated the care given to us by the staff on the night. The bartender is a virtuoso—she ran a bar for 70+ people on her own and no one waited more than a minute for a drink. The waitstaff were so joyous that they added to our enjoyment of the evening. And Sandra was there the whole time making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. To top it all off, the whole thing was well within our budget.

In all, if you’re reading this review to try and find a wedding reception venue, we cannot recommend the Elm City Club highly enough. They made our day perfect, and we will be forever grateful.”

“We held our church anniversary gathering there today. The main pavilion was spacious and clean. The basketball and pickle ball courts were set up and in great shape. The pool was clean, well staffed and safe. The open space was well manicured. The staff that greeted us were friendly and helpful. Great experience overall.”

“My experience was very good, the place is very spacious and had plenty of tables and chairs.
Communication was very easy, I got responses very quickly to my questions.”

“Me n' my love attended a wedding in lieu of my beloved sisters⚘️ God Daughter n it was absolutely beautiful! Appetizers, food, drinks were fantastic and the banquet server's and bartender's were professional and personable! I would absolutely do business with Cielo if an occassion arised!! Lovely!!!”

“This is such a nice space with a blank palette to deck out for any occasion. I’ve used it a few times and the proprietors are always accommodating and friendly.”

“If you love hockey and skate recreationaly, Choate is a must. Your guaranteed to get some of the best ice in the state of Connecticut, as well as ample, large locker rooms with individual showers.”

“The Schwarzman Center at Yale is a recent repurposing of two legacy buildings at the heart of campus: the Commons Dining Hall and Memorial Hall, easily recognizable thanks to its dome. It expands the two spaces so that they serve as a student center of sorts, with the goal of bringing community members together over dining, meeting spaces, and the arts.Besides the Commons and Memorial Hall, new spaces and venues include a convenience store, a dance studio, a 21+ pub, function facilities, performance spaces, public art galleries, and study nooks. When I ventured inside to grab a drink on a sunny, warm day spent exploring campus, I found the space vibrant and well-trafficked, particularly in newer eateries with communal seating. The Commons itself, however, appeared to be a grab-and-go affair either due to ongoing Covid measures or due to renovation.Given that it was a nice day, however, students were more likely to head outside than linger indoors.”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. Exceeded my wife and my expectations for a date night and we'll definitely be back. Limited menu options, so check before you go for something you like - but what they served was superb!”

“Went to a company picnic at HH. Plenty of activities to keep everyone happy. Lots of picnic tables/tables with umbrellas inside and outside the food pavilion. Food and drinks were really good. Clean facility with friendly staff.”

“I had booked an event for this past Sunday the hall and venue were really nice owner was great did appease all that was needed for that day of course had a lot of planning that was involved but they were very understanding and covered pretty much all the necessities he gave me a good deal for the space so happy everything came together was an awesome night thank you for making this day special for my daughters Sweet16...went without a hitch satisfied customer and holds up 100 people plenty of room private parking too was the perfect spot...”

“This is a great venue for a small to medium size event. We had an event there and we were a medium size group of about 154 and I will say that we were almost on top of one another. It was a tight fit. This without dancing space. So keep that in mind.

Clean, great kitchen and bar space. Limited parking space, most guests parked in the street.”

“Nice venue. But I wish you could use cash to make purchases. Having to put a bottle of water on a credit card is ridiculous when you would prefer to use the cash in your pocket.”

“My buddy and I played today and were pleasantly surprised. Night and day from a couple years ago. Not only was the course in great shape (better than some expensive courses recently) but the staff was super nice and welcoming. Obviously still updating and in the middle of construction but you can tell it’s moving in the right direction. We’ll be back!”

“AMF Circle lanes one of the best Bowling out there every time I come, I feel welcome. the manager Michele? is the best. all the staff makes you feel well this year what you need and they have the best deal”

“Vanity had the best food, service, and music all in 1. Food was 100% good & came fast. Ariel showed amazing service and was respectful whilst patient! Vanity restaurant lounge is recommended.”

“We go to this location quite a bit. We purchased the summer season pass which has already paid for itself. Two games and shoes are included in the pass which is more than enough. The check in staff are very friendly and the wait staff are also very nice. We go here with our teenager and her friend. It is always a nice time.”

“This is a perfectly serviceable hotel for a late night stop off from I-95. The room was clean and fairly comfortable, in short everything expected from a mid-range highway hotel. We have a dog and the pet policy was very reasonable. It was an extra $20 with no weird clauses or rules. We are writing this review because the front desk and facility guys who were working last night really did us a solid. They noticed a light was on in our car and took the time to call our room and let us know. We are so grateful that they went out of their way and that our car battery was not run down this morning. Thank you so much!”

“This review is only about the hotel and my great experience at the hotel. I am not giving a bad review like other reviewers based on the entire neighborhood. I do agree that the neighborhood is a bit on the undesirable side with all the young thugs, noise at night and the vagrants lounging around in public. This I feel is not the hotels fault and they shouldn't be having their name dragged down because of it. If people have issues then they should be contacting law enforcement.

I stayed here for a couple of nights cause I wanted to check out a few of the free museums and sample some New Haven pizza. I think the hotel itself is in a great location where it is close to all points of interest and the staff here is absolutely wonderful. Kaylee checked me in and she very friendly and helpful. My room on the 11th floor was very clean and spacious with a nice view of the city from my window. My bed was comfortable and their was plenty of hot water. No issues there. The lobby is a bit old fashioned, but to me it was charming.

Self parking is $25 and valet is $30 a day. It is a bit steep, but that is pretty standard nowadays since street parking is pretty hard to find. The garage is a bit dark, but you can get around. The hotel has a fitness center on the 3rd floor and a lovely restaurant/bar on the 19th. In the lobby they also have a small café/gift shop and the ladies behind the counter were super nice.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and I look forward to staying here again in the future. I wasn't going to let the negativity of other reviewers scare me from staying here...I am a Brooklyn girl with thick skin and I am used to far worse where I live.”
