Nightclubs in Hartford

Arch Street Tavern is Hartford's most beloved dive bar and live music venue — a downtown institution presenting local and touring acts alongside cheap drinks and genuine Hartford hospitality. Hartford's working-class heritage (the city has the highest concentration of insurance industry workers in the United States, creating a professional culture that values authentic unpretentious entertainment) creates a bar market that Arch Street Tavern serves with honest and consistent quality.

Infinity Music Hall is Connecticut's most acclaimed live music venue — a downtown Hartford intimate concert hall presenting folk, rock, and jazz artists in a beautifully designed 500-seat setting. Hartford's extraordinary insurance industry wealth and its sophisticated professional community create a concert market that values the quality listening experience that Infinity Music Hall provides with exceptional consistency.

The Webster is Hartford's most important mid-size music venue — a converted industrial building presenting rock, hip-hop, and alternative touring acts for the Hartford metro area entertainment market. Hartford's extraordinary cultural institutions (the Wadsworth Atheneum, the first public art museum in the United States, and the Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe Houses) create a city of unusual cultural ambition that its music venues serve with genuine quality.
