Lots of good bars,breweries and music venues, definitely a younger crowd due to Yale & other universities. I work near downtown and my coworkers and I go out to happy hours a lot which are easy to find and within walking distance of each other. Super easy to take the metro into NYC. I’ve caught a bunch of yankee games when the tickets are only $4. UConn basketball tickets are reasonable, too and you can take the train there for cheap so you can drink and not worry about driving. Boston is also close as well as Providence. I’m 31 and love living here - always something to do.

College Street Music Hall has AWESOME shows. Idk what kind of music you’re into, but I’ve seen Bright Eyes, Perfume Genius, Sean Paul (randomly), Modest Mouse, Beach House and a ton others there. It’s easy to talk to people outside during intermission since everyone just kinda hangs out and smokes and talks before going back in. Cafe 9 has a ton of cool shows, too.

Also, Partners is a gay bar/club on Crown St. that I like a lot. I’ve met a bunch of cool people there.
