Stopped in on a random Wednesday at around one o’clock with four in our party. Waited up to 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. Everyone loved their food and the service from our waitress was great. I had to ding MPT 1 Star on service due to the long wait times and the two different size portions of French fries for the exact same meal (didn’t noticed until the end of the meal).

This place was a great find. Cold Monday afternoon and wanted a burger. These guys nailed it. Tyler greeted us, tended bar, took our order, chatted and served us. Everything done with grace. Sam Malone has nothing on Tyler. Food was great. (Although the chicken wrap was a bit dry – needed some special sauce or something). Will definitely go back when I return to Litchfield.

inner at Market Place Tavern was everything you hope for when dining in Litchfield—warm, welcoming, delicious, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
We had dinner with my aunt and a very close family friend, which made the evening even more special. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone: cozy, comfortable, and timeless. The exposed brick alone deserves a mention—it adds such warmth and character and makes the space feel both intimate and classic New England. And really… who doesn’t love being right near Litchfield Green? It’s one of those places that just feels right.
Wine, Beer & Value
The wine list was thoughtfully curated with a very nice selection across different styles, and the pricing was more than fair—always appreciated. Even better? A glass of wine or a beer for $6 or less is almost unheard of these days, especially for a restaurant of this quality. It makes it easy to relax, enjoy another glass, and truly settle in.
First-Time Fried Pickle Experience (Converted!)
I had my first-ever fried pickle here—and now I get the hype. If you like pickles, you will absolutely love this dish. The batter was light, fresh, and not overpowering, letting the flavor of the pickle shine through. The real test? My aunt doesn’t even like pickles—and she didn’t complain once. In fact, she had more than one. That says everything.
Burgers Done Right
The burgers were delicious—clearly made with fresh meat, not pre-formed patties. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, they’re the kind of burger you crave again the next day. Simple, high-quality ingredients prepared well—exactly how a great tavern burger should be.
Atmosphere & Experience
The overall vibe is relaxed and inviting, perfect for family dinners, catching up with friends, or an easy night out. We already know we’re going back—next time to sit at the bar, which looks like the perfect spot to enjoy the ambiance, a glass of wine, and maybe another order of those fried pickles.
Final Thoughts
Market Place Tavern in Litchfield delivers on food, atmosphere, value, and location. Cozy brick walls, fair-priced drinks, fresh burgers, and a setting that captures everything we love about Litchfield—this is a place we’ll happily return to again and again.
Highly recommend if you’re visiting Litchfield or lucky enough to call it home.

Market Place Tavern has a great vibe and unique setting inside an old jailhouse. Food and drinks pretty good. Salmon was good and would order it again. Crispy Korean Chicken Sandwich was also good. Service was a bit slow and aloof, hard to get someone to get back to the bar area table. Worth a visit for the setting and good date night spot in the jailhouse section.

Thumbs up around the table for our rice bowls and salads. The place has a nice atmosphere and the server was great. The only downside on the night we were there, was the temperature. It was probably close to 80 degrees in the place! Good drink and beer offerings and you can’t beat the location for a stroll after dinner.

We were two coworkers passing through Litchfield for work and found Market Place Tavern by chance. The building used to be a jail and you can still see some of the old cell doors inside. It gives the place a unique and cozy atmosphere that feels local but welcoming.
We sat at the bar and started with drinks. I had a bourbon cocktail that was smooth. She ordered a wine, rosé.
For food I had the everything bagel pretzel appetizer which came warm and perfectly seasoned with a creamy dipping sauce that was addictive. It was a bit overcooked with a hard bottom. She ordered the steak sandwich which came on a fresh roll with tender meat and crispy fries. We both left full and impressed.
The staff was friendly and attentive even though the place was busy.

Stopped in for early dinner on a Sunday around 4:00, was greated with a warm welcome and seated right away without a reservation for 2 people. Enjoyed the muscles app, highly recommend this dish if you enjoy muscles. It was done in a cream sauce which was a nice touch and was delicious. The salmon was perfection, and my husband had the little bird entree and he raved about it
Whoever was cooking in the kitchen Sunday – excellent!

But even better is the food and service.
Tonight was my mom’s birthday and the servers and hosts helped me with a few surprises!!
Will be back!

The location itself is cool. As another review stated, the music is too loud. I thought they were being a Karen, but no it really is obnoxious when you have to yell to have a conversation, with everyone else yelling as well.
Ordered the duck fat poutine as an appetizer, which sucks because the waitress never put it in so we let it go once our mains came out.
Got the steak sandwich with truffle fries and my husband got the fried chicken special.
The best part of the meal was the truffle fries. They were hot, crispy and the perfect amount of truffle.
The steak sandwich was really disappointing. The steak had little flavor, the baguette was supposed to be “garlic bread” twas not garlic bread at all. The mushrooms were too thick and a few minutes shy of being properly sautéed. And the worst offense; there was no sauce, nothing to bind it. In all honesty the Steak and Cheddar from Panera bread is FAR superior, which is disappointing when you’re paying triple the price.
The fried chicken special again was underwhelming. Definitely a few minutes over and the “mac and cheese” was dry and the “sauce” was broken and flavorless and not at all what is pictured in their marketing.
Should have known when the drink menu was an entire page that the food is not the backbone of this spot.
On a positive note, they made THE best Shirley temple.

Yesterday was our second time in the restaurant and the food and our experience was even more memorable than our first time a few years back. This time we decided to sit in a booth at the bar area vs. at the dining room to celebrate my birthday. The design of the place is very cool with the old jail cells adjacent to the spacious and comfortable booths and huge chandeliers hanging from the ceiling above the bar. My husband ordered a special cocktail; I had a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. For my meal I ordered the Grilled Faroe Island Salmon served with luxurious sweet corn pudding, asparagus and heirloom tomato jam from the special menu. This dish was so exquisite and full of flavor, I really wish the Marketplace kept in on their regular menu. My husband ordered the Tempura Shrimp Bowl, that was also good and pleasing for the eye but the rice at the bottom could have used a bit of a sauce or dressing as it was a bit dry at the end. Overall, we had a five-star dining experience, with amazing food, great service, helpful waitresses and a very good bartender. The selection of gluten free food is incredible. We will definitely return very soon as this is our new favorite dining spot in Litchfield.
