The food here is excellent. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is amazing. I honestly like the drinks here more than anywhere else. The balance between taste and alcohol content is perfect. The espresso martinis are some of the best around. The bar tenders are all really nice and on point. When it gets busy sometimes it can take a while to get service, however, the bartenders do keep up as much as possible. This place is amazing and still within walking distance of downtown. There are sometimes fun events and it’s a pretty varied crowd depending on the time of night.

Maybe the best wings in town. Great atmosphere. Relaxed. Haven’t ever delt with riff raff there.
But seriously, the wings are great. Id usually trek to bantam to woodspit for wings but now I dont have to travel far when I need a bone in wings craving.

I want to start off by saying this was my first experience at this bar/restaurant and has become the best experience ive ever had while eating out.
To begin with, the vibe as soon as you walk in gives off homey, clean and comfortable, and doesn’t initially feel like you’re walking into a bar. we were greeted immediately upon entering and took our seats. Kyle was our bartender/waiter and to say he went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience for us is an understatement. The drinks he made were both visually pleasing and delicious, the food was fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere was pleasant. We ordered an appetizer and they did not have enough of the specific item in stock so they made what they could and Kyle so kindly took it off our bill. At the end of the night before we left, Kyle also offered a green tea shot on the house!
I am so beyond excited to go back and try the other delicious looking dishes the have to offer! if i could give more than 5 stars, i absolutely would!
P.S Kyle deserves a raise!

Fast friendly service. Good food and nice atmosphere make for a very nice night out. We have been to Sawyers a few times now and we have not been disappointed yet. I can recommend the burger and wings. We were lucky one night to go when they had live music and the that was awesome.

I’m so confused. There we are, driving through Torrington on our way to NY…we’re hungry. I quickly check Google maps for the closest non-fast food restaurant near us. Whatever, we’ll go to this little bar. Walk in, my expectations are low because I’m hungry, cynical, and clinically depressed. Everyone looks like they’re having a great time, so maybe the drinks are strong at least. This dude takes our drink order – he’s full of life and good energy. Now…this man comes back with my espresso martini. I go “Okrrrr!” or whatever, to express that I’m impressed. It’s beautiful. He gave me the extra on the side too! Then the mozz sticks come out…is this a fever dream? Too much Benadryl? I thought I was at some bar, not a fancy…place! If that wasn’t enough…my dang beet salad comes out. Clearly I’m being punk’d. Kitchen staff is using, like…plating circles?? HOW IS EVERYTHING SO PRETTY AND TASTY. I lived in Torrington years ago, practically across the street…what is this? Who are you? Why isn’t there a location in Manchester yet? Is there any good reason why everywhere else can’t put in even half the amount of effort that this beautiful haven of love and food did? No, there’s no good reason. So it looks like you (we) are going to have to leave it to Sawyer’s, and keep coming back.

Food was excellent! Stopped in for some apps and drinks while we were out and about in the area. I HIGHLY recommend the wings. They were perfectly crispy and the sauces were phenomenal. Service was also great.

This is such a cool bar, I love the older building and copper bar top. Food and drinks were really good too and service was amazing!

Beautiful open-air bar tucked away where you will have to look for it.
Bartender was excellent and friendly. Spent a lot of time talking through the fresh drink ingredients he was excited to put into a cocktail.
Didn’t eat, because we had plans, but food looked amazing. We will definitely be back to try the food.

Torrington has some great food options and Sawyers was definitely one of them. I just got a burger, but they really cooked it right, which sadly isn’t always the case. If your a medium rare lover and have been often handed a medium well, I know you feel me, it’s so frustrating! Truffle fries cooked well and were tasty, I’d like to come back and try other options. Staff was friendly and great, and the owner, cool guy, was really nice and very knowledgeable of the area and gave great advice and recommendations for local services and restaurants, if you’re new to the area I’d highly suggest visiting here and if you’re a local…. well you’re probably already there!

Kyle – The bartender provided excellent service. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the beet salad. Both were excellent! I did like the truffle fries. The espresso martini is pretty awesome My friend’s sour drink was well described by Kyle to her and I tried it and it was very good. Definitely going back. So far I consider it the best restaurant in Torrington and as good, if not better, as any restaurant in downtown West Hartford. In fact, kind of like it better than any of those.
