Named in honor of the legendary Irons & Grinnell Shipbuilders, The IRONS Restaurant and Bar serves as a modern gathering place rooted in Mystic’s rich maritime history. This independently owned and operated destination offers a chef-driven experience where the grit of the shipyard meets the refined flavors of the Connecticut coast.

Our kitchen celebrates New England’s bounty with a menu designed to satisfy both the adventurous foodie and the comfort-seeker. Start your voyage with our Award-Winning New England Style Creamy Manhattan Clam Chowder or the kick of our signature Firecracker Shrimp. Guests return time and again for our Smashburger, the savory Short Rib Grilled Cheese, and our classic Lobster Salad Roll. For a more robust experience, our 9oz center-cut Filet Mignon, Ribeye, and traditional Fish & Chips anchor a menu that prioritizes local sourcing and expert preparation.

The atmosphere is lively and communal, featuring a bar program that pays homage to the coastal spirit. With 24 beers on tap—including 11 local craft favorites—and a curated signature cocktail list, there is always a reason to raise a glass. Whether you’re joining us for Prime Rib Mondays, Wine Down Wednesdays, or our weekly live music sessions, you’re partaking in a tradition of local hospitality that has defined Mystic for generations.
