  This place is the best! Then the server named Brandon who's me is the man. Like wow I do such a good job.
  
  We make all our sauces in house from scratch which most people don't realize. Then the tenders and mozzarella sticks people love are also made from scratch! By making it all from scratch it's a significantly higher end food then you're used to compared to every other restaurant that sells pleasure food.
  
  Otherwise we have drink specials. $5margs/cosmos/coronas, and more of a very regular weekday basis. There are also regular food specials that are very reasonably priced.
  
  Come in, grab a beer or 5 and watch some sports.

  Why do I come to Bradford's? To avoid the college crowd and still get some dancing and weekend enjoyment underway.
  
  This fundamental question should be asked before going here. If you want to dance, it's usually a fun time. Though their choice in DJs seems more hit than miss, if you have fun people with you, you will have fun.
  
  If you answered the question above with, "To eat well." then you have come to the wrong place. "You're in the wrong part of town," he says as he pulls his gun from his holster.
  
  I came because my fellow diners don't know how to choose food. I am pretty sure one of our party actually ate McDonalds before visiting so she didn't even eat--that might indicate how nuanced their decision was. Anyway, I had a burger and fries, and it was just okay. I wouldn't ever eat here again. There are plenty of great restaurants in walking distance.
  
  I will be back to drink, dance, and party, though.

  Bradford's is definitely one of the best bars in downtown Stamford to go to with a large group of friends on the weekends. There is a very laid back vibe, darts and a jukebox downstairs, dance floor upstairs, outdoor area. Most importantly, good drinks!
  
  I think their space is pretty tight downstairs which can make it uncomfortable if you're with a larger group. Also, they can be pretty disorganized, which is why I refuse to ever open a tab here. They have charged someone else's order on my card before. I recommend paying for each drink in cash if possible, or not opening a tab.
  
  I personally haven't had any real issues with security, but I can see why some people would be uncomfortable there, because their security seems to be lurking everywhere you turn, which is unsettling to say the least.
  
  Overall, one of the more reasonably priced bars in Stamford. Good for a typical night out, but nothing that will knock your socks off.

  On Thursday last week your bartender Mel verbally assaulted me while I was with my friend at a table. We ordered two beers one for each of us and we were both having a great time when Mel interrupted our conversation 2 times and then after the third time she accused me of being a cheater in public. Granted this was my first time entering the bar and I have no idea who she is and why she knows my name. First off nobody deserves to be yelled at and ridiculed in public. She had no business in interrupting our conversation as I was minding my own business again spending quality time with my friend. It was extremely unprofessional and unnecessary. She ruined our night and it was traumatizing to the point where I don't want to visit again. This establishment should consider overseeing your staff.

  Horrible establishment. Upstairs staff was able to verbally and physically assault my group of friends within the first 20 minutes of waiting for a drink. (Note:
  This is a situation where we will be taking action to spread awareness as we are not the only patrons who have have a poor experience at this place.) It is as if they purposes choose miserable, racist, angry, hateful people to work here. On TOP of that, the place is unclean and bartenders are inattentive (unless they are focusing their aggression on you). To anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and spend your time and money at any of the other neighboring restaurants that line the streets.
