Mikro is a small room, with the bar area taking one half the space, with tables fitting in behind the bar. It was a little cramped on a Friday night, but I was able to find a spot at the bar.

The draft list was on a board in front of me, with a wide range of styles covered. Mostly local, New England brews were on tap when I went, with a couple offerings each from Berkshire and Sebago. Price and ABV were listed for all the beers. I decided to go with a Blue Point Oatmeal Stout.

The food menu was small, with a good selection of small and medium sized plates. I ordered a cheese plate that included a cheddar with onions and chives, a smoked blue cheese and a smoked Gouda. All were tasty, but I wish the plate include more of the cranberry-walnut bread. I also had a small plate of mussels steamed in white ale, with an orange in the broth as well as some pepper-spice. The portion for the "small" mussels plate was very generous.

Service was very impressive. Even though it was a busy night, my bartender was attentive, talkative, and even brought me an extra plate of toast for my mussels! The quality of the food was excellent, especially for the price. I think my two plates totaled $16. The beer list was great, and the tap list changes frequently (two or three taps were changed while I was there.) This might be the best beer bar in CT!

Mikro is now the best beer bar in CT. Yeah I said it. I know Delany's has a good selection, but the ambiance in westville is terrible and the menu is weak. Mikro not only has knowledgable bar tenders and great beer, it also has great fresh food and a warm welcoming feel. Hell, the owner greeted me at the door! Because they use small "sleeves" of beer instead of full kegs, the beer is always fresh and changes daily. The chef prepares simple comfort bar food with a gourmet feel buy using fresh local ingredients. Do it!
