I was scrolling through my TikTok the other day when I came across a video about a Connecticut bar that is high on vibes. It's a place called "I Know You Know" and it's located in New Britain, CT.

@tasteconnecticut I Know You Know Cocktail Bar is a must visit speakeasy bar in Connecticut. 67-69 Arch Street, New Britain, CT #ct #connecticut #hiddenbar #thingstodoinct #speakeasy ♬ Parla più piano - Frank & The Gangsters

You can find the passcode on their Instagram and you'll also have your mouth watering after seeing the creations that come out of their kitchen. It looks like I'm going to have to plan an evening in Hard Hittin' New Britain because this is the kind of dining experience that gives me an intense case of FOMO.

The reviews on this place seem to all be good. Here are just a few of the happy patrons sharing their experience:

Darcy Walsh Allen: "The food, the drinks, and above all else, the service. Everyone we have ever met behind the bar has been personable and attentive without fail. They take their time to personalize their suggestions and they always hit the spot. We have visited other speakeasies and all else have fallen short by comparison. We consider this our home away from home."

Joss Hernandez Piotrowski: "Excellent service, great atmosphere & the drinks do not disappoint. 10/10. Stylish interior. Creative cocktails."

Sherry Evilgirl Pabon: "Creative drink menu and the food is delicious I recommend the calamari and empanadas. We also enjoyed the mussels. The bartenders were friendly and helped with drink recommendations. Speakeasy vibe a very relaxed classy place." 

I Know You Know is located at 69 Arch Street in New Britain. You had me at prohibition era speakeasy.
