Stamford Summer Bar Tour [11] - Dragonfly
One of my first posts debated the supremacy of Dragonfly vs. Castle Grayskull. The Dragonfly edged on account of General Tso Calamari. At the time, I totally forgot though that Point Dread playset could connect to Grayskull and allow the Talon Fighter to land. To my knowledge, a piece of Black Bear cannot detach and unite with the Dragonfly. Retotal... advantage Grayskull.
Dragonfly is also great for the attractive, disinterested waitresses. Call me crazy, but I like a waitress who has better things to do serve us. I’m not talking about, “I’m too busy”, or “we’re understaffed”, just “I could give a shit about giving you a menu". It takes a special type to be able to pull it off. Curly’s for example, hasn’t found the science with their distinerested waitresses.
The beer list is also pretty deep, albeit somewhat pricey. That said you can get a bottle of something brewed by monks studying magic or some shit in the mountains for probably only a buck more than a $5 crack at the "Champagne of Beers" a block over.
If you can mine a woman out of Manford, Dragonfly is not a bad spot to put in your stock date arsenal. It has all the elements to make you seem more cultured than you probably are, interesting food and drink, swanky yet unpretentious vibe & a jazz trio.

LOL that was comedy gold. So tell us how you really think about Dragonfly. :)
I've gone a couple of times to Dragonfly as a small nightcap place. It's usually really quiet at 12-2am, when all of the other bars are packed. I also like the dungeon interior too, it adds to the intimate feel of the place. It is also really perfect for the pretentious set, so if you're trying to dig a woman out of Manford, think carefully about the lot you're trying to dig into.
I sense a recurring theme: Vaguely Disinterested Waitresses of Manford.
I mentioned Manford only because maybe 3-4 people have said that to me in the past 2 days.
Maybe they have no skills, I got my girlfriend by walking up to her on the street in Stamford.
Actually several years ago Dragonfly was struggling and contacted my Friend Scot Marz to help people get to know them with one of his event parties. They asked to do it again the next spring and they actually have been making money since.
Dragonfly would be the PERFECT place to host a Harry Potter theme party. What with its Hogwarts vibe.
Amazingly, when I mentioned this bright idea to the waitstaff, they seemed to think it was NOT COOL.
Hee.
Regarding your Dragonfly vs. Castle Grayskull debate, how DARE you leave out Snake Mountain??? Dude, it had a voice-changing microphone! Voice-changing.
I also chuckle when people mention the "dungeon" theme, because it sounds like it should be an S&M club.
