Corleones Cafe - Windham

Fun place, awesome bartenders, mostly drama free, annnd karaoke. You know you love karaoke! So go there, have a few drinks, and sing your little hearts out!

This little place is a classic neighborhood bar...it's like Cheers from the TV show. And the atmosphere varies with the day, and time of day--so you need to visit a few times to see where you fit in. Although it's a blue-collar bar, don't be surprised if you see someone studying for their PhD program, or reading a good book. On the other hand, don't be surprised if everyone in the place is doing a shot of whiskey together and singing karaoke on a Saturday night. Sundays are mellow, except when there's football on the TV. Barry the bartender has a cult following on Mondays. On Tuesdays, Leslie the bartender attracts an earthy bunch. Wednesday are often trivia. It's not unusual for there to be a craft night on Thursdays. Friday nights can have some really good local musicians. Check it out.

It was really nice. I felt welcomed by the people that was there and the bartender.

For a class at ECSU, we had to review a place in Willimantic that we had a history with. I used to love this bar SO much. Tons of great memories of smoking out on the patio, playing pool, or watching drunk MST3K. Fast service, friendly patrons, and good drinks. Sadly, my ex loved it even more than I did so I kind of 'lost it in the divorce '. Miss it a ton.

Drinks are fairly strong. They're generous with the alcohol. I do wish there was a smoking/non-smoking section to the outdoor seating area though. They have recently added corn hole outside which is nice. Overall very clean and nice staff.
