Repurposed Spaces — Unique Restaurant Experiences in Connecticut

Ever dined in a jailhouse? (As a visitor, of course.) How about brunching in a fire station? Booking a meal in an old post office? You can in Connecticut. Foodies can indulge themselves at an historic mill, a train station, even a gas station. Inventive restauranteurs have transformed all sorts of landmark venues into showcases for fine food, whether it’s a brick-oven pizza, fresh seafood, farm-to-table fare, or a classic hamburger (We invented it!). Next time you dine out, just look at the amazing places you can dine in!

Engine Room, Mystic, Restored Lathrop Marine Engine Building

Within the walls of this historic site, Lathrop machinists manufactured oil and gas engines from 1897 through World War II. Today, Engine Room features craft beers on tap, the area's largest bourbon selection, craft cocktails and wine, and a menu of locally sourced, creative American comfort food—with a focus on America's most beloved dish, the burger. Its sister restaurant, Oyster Club, is located right down the road. Swing by their Treehouse for another unique experience.
