Meeting House Pub

37 Stony Hill Rd, Bethel, CT, (203) 456-6532

We spent the past 18 months planning every detail inside and outside. We bring a range of experience to MHP – restaurant front-end and back-end, beverage industry, operations, marketing, and human resources.  More importantly, we bring passion … passion for life, family and friends. We have hired a great team, and we hope you agree.  As always, let us know how we are doing.

When you first walk in the door, you will see MHP is completely different from it’s predecessor, La Fortuna.  The open floor plan, raised ceiling and new windows add light and warmth.  The bamboo floors, the red oak booths, benches and bar, and the detailed craftsmanship throughout enhance the buildings’ character.  There are leather couches and chairs in the fireplace and shuffleboard rooms and TVs strategically located in key areas for optimal viewing of sporting events.

O’Brien’s Sports Pub an Restaurant

83 Lake Ave, Danbury, CT, (203) 628-7108

O’Brien’s Pub & Restaurant located in Danbury, Connecticut is the perfect place to enjoy some fresh from scratch food and tasty cocktails at the end of a long day.  Originally from Ireland, John O’Brien knew that that the local community would enjoy some traditional Irish hospitality and he was right.  Locals and travelers old and young have come to love O’Brien’s.  

After a fire shut down the pub in 2015 the community couldn’t wait for news of them reopening.  Finally, in time for St. Patrick’s Day 2016, they hosted their Grand Opening, unveiling a gorgeous and more traditional Irish facade and a great new space for dining, enjoying some “craic” at the bar, or hosting your private event.

Once again the family at O’Brien’s welcomes you with open arms – treating your family like their own!  Slainte!
