Elegant Big City-Based Restaurant Makes Its Way to Connecticut
I love seeing new places come to Connecticut. We really are becoming a popular destination and that comes with the help of two giants that no other state has - Mohegan Sun an Foxwoods.
Mohegan and Foxwoods are 2 destinations that many people travel to when you're in the Northeast. Not only do you get to experience the casino floors themselves, but the amount of entertainment both buildings have to offer is pretty unmatched. You have an amazing variety of bars and restaurants that really stick out compared to the rest of the state.

One of my favorite parts is the restaurants you see in these buildings, you see in big cities like New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. For little ole Connecticut to be home to restaurants that are only in big city places like that is pretty cool. Speaking of certain restaurants only being in big cities, just recently, I heard that the restaurant Beauty & Essex is landing in Mohegan Sun.
If you've never heard of Beauty & Essex, it's a unique, one-of-a-kind restaurant. It is part of Tao Restaurant Group, which Tao made its way into Mohegan Sun in March of 2021. Beauty & Essex is unique in its own way because not only is it an elegant restaurant, but when you go to walk in, you actually enter a pawn shop. The pawn shop is full of vintage and contemporary pieces, all of which are actually for sale. You can take a sneak peak at some pieces here.
After you enter the pawn shop, you'll go past upholstered walls and into what is called the Pearl Lounge and bar. There is additionally a Peacock Dining Room and Locket Private Dining Room. They have a unique menu of food and drinks and this upscale restaurant will have you feeling like you're in a big city for a night out.
You can take a peek at the details of Mohegan Sun's Beauty & Essex location here. The grand opening is actually just around the corner. They will be officially open on February 7th. Next time I'm in there, I will absolutely be checking it out. I feel like it's an experience that needs to be had.
