Conspiracy - Middletown, Connecticut

Los cócteles no son lo mio al parecer, no sentí los ingredientes del que tomé pero pareciera que son buenos, buen ambiente

I'm normally wary of such places as they tend to have a reputation for being overpriced and gimmicky. However I and everyone else in my group found the drinks and the dishes to be quite good and we had a great time. Our server was really nice and funny and made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere felt lively and the dim lighting added to the feeling.

Ascend the narrow staircase into a higher realm of cocktails. If you enjoy quality cocktails with unique flavor profiles and ingredients, this is the place for you. Tucked up on a second floor in the heart of the wonderful downtown Middletown, Conspiracy leans towards classic and Prohibition era spirits crafted for sipping, savoring, and indulging.
The food menu includes some similarly interesting items, but really, you are here for the cocktails.

We had the Campfire Old Fashioned, (fashioned with bourbon, smoked maple and a toasted marshmallow), the World (a spherical glass with a decadent blend of ginger and bourbon with notes of cranberry and orange smoothed out by a luxurious white chocolate), and a High Priestess (hibiscus infused gin and other flavors I can't identify!) All were layered and nuanced in flavor. This is a place you have to return to to try all the options. These aren't the sorts of flavors you get anywhere else!

Oh my gosh, what an insane treasure hidden in plain view! I walked by this anonymous looking front door so many times and never knew it went up a stairway to the coolest ever speak easy kinda bar. Very chic vibe, with the most suave bartender and their drinks are inspired by tarot cards! They give actual tarot decks and you go through the cards picking out what magical drink you want. The drinks don't just have magical names, they are mouth-watering amazing, even the mocktails were insane! The empress and temperance were our top favorites of the night, paired with their mac and cheese rib dish, you can't imagine anything better. Such a cool hidden prize here in the heart of downtown Middletown, loved it!

Very cool concept and decor/vibe. Service was lacking sadly. No one asked how our food/drinks were or checked in on us at all. We were out of water for a while and when asked for more, they only filled one cup. They walked away before I could ask for another cup to be filled. We never got plates to eat off of, so just ate over the dish the food was served in. One of our apps was cold by the time we got it. The other apps were good. The cook at one point came to help make drinks. It seemed others were waiting just like we were for drinks/service. I noticed they squeezed fresh limes/lemons to make juice for the cocktails. While this is great, it seemed to take up a lot of their time and didn’t seem efficient. Maybe if they prepared a fresh batch at the beginning of the shift, it would still be fresh without having to take so much time to make it for each individual drink. I don’t think I will be back.

Friendly service, interesting drink menu, very small but definitely a great experience.

Came in for drinks after dinner. What I love about Conspiracy is that the owners bartenders make very creative drinks with unique ingredients that I haven't seen at other places. They have friendly, knowledgeable staff to help answer any questions you have. Cozy, warm vibe too! It's always a blast trying new drinks each visit. Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone!

This was my second time coming here this year, and I’m in love. I knew they have a tarot card deck of drinks and I finally got to try one. The drink I got tasted just like a fluffernutter and let me tell you, I would have ordered like 3 of this if I didn’t have to drive home, they were so tasty.

Love the ambiance in here, they have really good bites to eat as well.
