Came here with friends to enjoy some live music. Beer selection was decent. Drinks were a bit pricey but acceptable. Atmosphere was good. Would come again. Its located in the center of Yale University.

Many good times had here when they have decent entertainment. They also host a pretty decent Halloween party, which are hard to find, even crappy ones.

If you like the bar scene, like live music, then Toad's is the place for you. They have head lined some really phenomenal talent over the years. Always lively and crowded. Perfect for when you want to be in the middle of the action.
