@connecticut_bucketlist: my favorite christmas bar in connecticut 🎄✨ @Riley’s by the Seawall has an extra special story behind their decked out holiday decor. A few years ago, Owner Rich’s girlfriend Yun began hanging ornaments from the ceiling to create some holiday cheer after her cancer diagnosis. It brought her AND the customers so much joy, they decided to make it a tradition. Now she’s cancer free and still enjoys adding more & more beautiful details to the decor each year. THIS YEAR they have a brand new shot machine!!! Rich himself was inspired by one he used at a wedding in south america, and is the first & only person that is bringing them to the states. Reservations highly encouraged! A few high tops are left for walk ins. 📍 @rileysbythesea, stratford (lordship), ct #rileysbytheseawall #stratfordct #ctchristmasbars
