Truck-Themed Bar, Restaurant Opens In Berlin

BERLIN, CT — A new bar, entertainment center, and pizza restaurant in Berlin is themed as a tribute to vintage trucks and gas stations, according to The Hartford Courant. Truck Bar at 151 Webster Square features a rusty blue GMC pickup and a Mobil pump salvaged from a Higganum gas station as centerpieces.

The pizza oven has been designed to resemble the back of a fire engine, and a jumbo Sunoco sign hangs on a wall.

Owner Merle McKenzie told The Hartford Courant that "there’s some vestige of my dad being a mechanic in the garage on Tolland Street in East Hartford.”

Truck Bar, which has an original location in Higganum, opened its Berlin location Thursday.

The bar and restaurant is open Monday through Thursday 4 to 11 p.m.; Friday 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Saturday 1 p.m. to 1 a.m.; and Sunday 1 to 8 p.m.
