Since Red Rooster Pub opened at 160 South Main Street in November 2016, it has been the go-to place in town to gather with friends, family, and coworkers.

Not only does its name feature Newtown’s ironic rooster, but it has the hometown feel to match.

The all-natural wood interior and warm lighting provides a casual, cozy atmosphere.

From every seat indoors, patrons can see a TV and catch up on live sports or news.

Red Rooster Pub has one of the largest bars in the area and can seat 40 people. There are 16 draft beers, as well as a martini and cocktail menu. Bar hours are from when the restaurant opens until the last guest is done.

Parties in its private dining room can be booked for up to 20 people.

When the weather is nice, its spacious 85-seat patio is open for guests to dine outdoors. There are large umbrellas at each table and a variety of greenery to enliven the space.

All year-round Red Rooster Pub offers a diverse menu of comfort food.

It is the perfect place to grab a burger, enjoy a specialty pizza, or share a generous appetizer with the whole table. The restaurant rang in the new year by adding to its extensive list of entrees and now includes a dozen new items.

Those looking to get take-out can place an order by calling the restaurant at 203-270-0788 or by coming in person.

People also have the option of going online to redroosterct.com to get food delivered by selecting from their preference of Grubhub, DoorDash, or Uber Eats.

Be sure to pick up a Red Rooster gift card the next time you are in, as it is the perfect gift for all occasions.
