2 Derby Restaurants Among Connecticut Magazine's 'Best'

DERBY, CT — Two Derby restaurants have been named among the state's best for 2022 in Connecticut Magazine's annual Best Restaurants survey.

The Dew Drop Inn, located on North Avenue, was selected by experts as one of Connecticut's best Overall Values, and THC The Hops Company, on Sodom Lane, was chosen by readers for having one of the state's best Beer Selections.

Dozens of restaurants throughout the state were selected for the popular magazine's 2022 best-of list, with both readers and a group of experts choosing their favorites in a plethora of categories:

"Our annual Readers’ Choice restaurant survey was conducted online during September and October 2021; voters were able to choose up to three restaurants in order of preference (with the votes weighted accordingly) in each category," the magazine wrote. "Restaurants were limited to a maximum of four Readers’ Choice wins in the categories in which they received the most votes. After that, awards in further categories went to the next qualifying restaurant. Our panel of experts then recommended additional places in each category which they believe deserve recognition."
