Connecticut biker bars offer a welcome rest stop for motorcyclists.
Connecticut is filled with winding highways and beautiful scenery. From the first signs of spring through the dwindling days of autumn, riding groups on hogs and sport bikes are a common sight along these roads. There are biker-friendly drinking establishments throughout the Constitution State, offering welcome destinations for thirsty motorcyclists.
Riders Cafe
Riders Cafe is a large, locally popular biker bar that is open to the public, though it is owned and operated by the Rat Pack Motorcycle Club. Far from a dive bar, Riders is a refined place, but bikers won't feel out of place in riding attire. The spacious interior has pool tables, dartboards, a jukebox and other entertainment, and a large deck and Tiki bar out back offers a place to enjoy a cold beer outside on nice days. An on-site kitchen serves a full menu at all hours, and free live music is presented regularly.

Stash's Cafe
Stash's Cafe in New London is considered very biker-friendly, but a schedule of live music performances can draw a more mixed crowd on any given night. Its huge parking lot provides plenty of room for bikes outside, while daily drink specials are sure to please thirsty bikers. The bar features several pool tables, though Stash's own pool league reserves them for events regularly. Patrons wishing to play pool should call ahead for the schedule. Hungry guests can order from a casual-dining menu, and bikers looking for a place to watch televised sports will find plenty of HDTVs and sports programming.

This family-owned and operated establishment offers a rotating list of food and drink specials, and valuable coupons are sometimes featured on the bar's website. It is well-known for its large pool table area and is a popular destination for open pool, pool leagues and open buy-in pool tournaments with cash prizes. Karaoke events are held on most Friday and Saturday nights.
