Welp, About That Name... Hell or High Water Brewpub, Norwalk This place closed in October 2017. Pictures below were stolen from Yelp I think. I never visited Hell or High Water Brewpub. Since I began keeping track of and caring about Connecticut breweries in 2008 or so, I've visited and written about … [Read more...]
Velvet Libations (Closed)
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Twilight Zone Velvet Libations, Wolcott April 2022 Velvet Libations - yes, that was the actual name - closed in September 2022. 189 Days. Velvet Libations existed in our lives for 189 days. In the year 2022, from their grand opening on St. Patrick's Day until a quiet, unremarkable … [Read more...]
Hartford Police Museum (Closed)
Five-Oh No Hartford This museum closed in... I don't know. I created this website in September 2006. The intent was to visit and write about every museum in Connecticut. With that in mind, I decided back then to write about museums that closed - even the ones I wasn't able to visit. And I think that's a … [Read more...]
Sterling Opera House (Abandoned)
No Ficken Joke Sterling Opera House, Derby I suppose I could have tried to get a personal tour of this place. After all, NBC30 did. So did Atlas Obscura as well as Damned Connecticut. In a way, I consider all three of those outlets peers. I'll also consider them primary source material for this page. Because, as … [Read more...]
Quirk Works Brewing & Blendery (Closed)
Another One of My Quirks Quirk Works Brewing & Blendery, Danbury August 2022 The brewery closed at the end of May in 2024 after getting a buyout offer from Housatonic River Brewing that they "couldn't refuse."

East Coast Cidery (Gone)
Why? East Coast Cidery, Enfield September 2022 I see no evidence that this operation still exists. I'm calling it closed in early mid-2023. It crossed my mind for about two seconds to drive up to Enfield to "visit" East Coast Cidery. But only for two seconds. There would be no point in my doing so. East … [Read more...]
Military Historians Museum (Closed)
They Lost The Battle and the War Westbrook, (Google Maps location) September 2022 The Military Historians Museum closed in January 2018. Very early on in this whole CTMQ thing I do... way back when the focus really was just museums... I "visited" some recently closed museums. This was back in 2009 or so. It was … [Read more...]
Hanging Hills Brewing Company (Closed)
Hanging in There Hanging Hills Brewing Company, Hartford Multiple Visits Hanging Hills closed in March 2020. Sometimes I am forced to write up a brewery after it closes. And that's never fun. Like right now. This isn't fun. Wait... lemme go grab a fresh Hanging Hills beer out of the fridge to lighten the mood a … [Read more...]
The Ice Box (Closed)
No Scoop Til Brooklyn The Ice Box, Brooklyn July 2022 After a protracted and absurd battle against the town of Brooklyn, The Ice Box was forced to close. They plan to reopen in a different town. "We make Small Batch Ice Cream." That's it. That's all they say on their website's landing page. And really, what … [Read more...]
Garden of Ideas (Closed)
It Was a Good Idea While it Lasted Garden of Ideas, Ridgefield June 2017 The Garden of Ideas Closed in September 2019. Things open. Things close. That's just the way things work in America. However, when some things close, they continue on in some way. I imagine the Garden of Ideas, nestled in a corner of … [Read more...]
