Our Grand Opening invitation simply read "The Loft. May 2nd. It Happens." And it's been happening ever since.

Since opening in historic South Norwalk in 1997, The Loft has established itself as an icon of Fairfield County. This chic space, adorned with stainless steel martini bins, wrought iron winding staircase, brick walls, and opening facade, is ideally located on the center of the block on Washington Street. Orange lights give the main space a sophisticated glow, while the upstairs (hence the "loft") provides a perfect perch for people watching (open on weekends and available for private events). Live music four nights a week and an open façade in the warmer months complete the inviting, exciting picture.

But that's only part of the attraction. Our delicious, award-winning martinis, expertly prepared by stunning bartenders, have won many accolades, including the Food Network's "Best Chocolate Indulgence in the USA" for our Chocolate Martini. In 2004 The Loft was awarded the "Best Martinis in the State" by CONNECTICUT Magazine and was featured on the cover of the September 2004 issue. The Loft has also been perennially awarded Best Bar and Best Martini in Fairfield County by Fairfield County Weekly readers. But don't take their word for it. See what's happening for yourself.
