STORRS SCOOP: Huskies Restaurant & Bar Opens in Storrs Center!

Huskies Restaurant & Bar has opened their doors at Storrs Center! The restaurant opened on Thursday at 33 Wilbur Cross Way!

The restaurant replaces Grill 86, a short-lived restaurant and bar in Storrs' Downtown area. According to Downtown Storrs the restaurant features 'a full-service restaurant open for lunch and dinner and a bar that will serve as a gathering place for residents and visitors alike. With 24 large screen TVs, including 130’’ and 150’’ screens in the main areas of the restaurant, Huskies will be the perfect spot to connect with friends and cheer on the home team!'

The longtime restaurant relocated from their previous location at 134 N Eagleville Road where they have operated for decades. The site is planned to undergo a major redevelopment in the future.

Downtown Storrs has seen an influx of new eateries and stores in the last year. Square Peg Pizzeria, Haven Hot Chicken, Playa Bowls, Nautical Bowls, Action Packed, and Jefferson Fry Co. have all joined the shopping center in recent years.
​
The restaurant will be opening a second location in Downtown Hartford this summer at 103 Pratt Street, just down the street from UConn Hartford!
