Best Places to Visit in Hamden; Readers Sound Off

Hamden, CT.--Now that Starbucks is being sued for allegedly underfilling their lattes, you’re probably going to need another go-to spot to take your mother-in-law when she comes to town for the holidays.

Luckily, Hamden has plenty of top-notch local options to fill the foamy gap that Starbucks left behind, and coffee’s not your only choice.

With the first day of spring already behind us, the perfect outdoor patio or park could be the ideal location to dazzle your old college roommate and her kids.

Or maybe your brother can’t get enough March Madness and you want to grab a beer at the best sports bar in town.

Whichever way you choose to show your guests a good time, your neighbors have you covered.

We asked Patch readers about their favorite spots in Hamden to take visitors. Here’s how to ensure a repeat stay:

• "I ask them if they have taken out a second mortgage and then if they answer yes then Glenwood. Otherwise Wentworth's in the summer."
• "Wentworth's, Hindinger's Farm. There's a new microbrewery on State Street called No Worries that I would like to check out."
• "Sleeping Giant hikes and the walk around Lake Wintergreen. For food, Ibiza or MiKro."
• "During the summer: the Concerts!!!"
• "The Outer Space"
• "Playwright"
• "West Rock, Brooksvale Park"
• "Whitney Donuts"
• "Quinnipiac Sports Complex if winter time"
