    Great spot for a hockey game. Friday night home games are a great deal! $2 Beers ($4 large beers) and $1 hot dogs. New bar area is amazing!

    Been here twice in one week. Loved the Hockey game and the family loved Disney On Ice. Unfortunately I dropped $60 on food and souvenirs in a matter of 5 minutes.

    Ante up for front row tickets. Unlike Boston's TD Garden or MSG in NYC, this Hartford venue lacks the structure or clout to kill you on top-notch seats. Believe it or not, they're relatively cheap. Read more

    Sadly new management decided to abandon Hartford Hockey history and are changing the name of the CT Whale to the Hartford Wolfpack to appease the New York Rangers EGO. Watch UCONN hockey instead.
