Description

Our signature social event features live music, art, food, spirits, and good friends. New Britain’s best Happy Hour, since 1995!
Drawing its musical influences from American roots music—swing, boogie-woogie, and Motown—Eight to the Bar is known for its outstanding instrumentalists and sophisticated musical and vocal arrangements, highlighted by female vocals. 
Cash bar available; access to Museum galleries is included with your ticket.
Event doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
Please note: The venue has capacity for several hundred with limited seating available and a full dance floor. The rest of the space is dedicated for standing room only. Please arrive early for a better chance of securing chairs.
First Friday is a 21+ event. For the safety of all patrons, the attendance of children at First Friday is prohibited.
Tickets:
  • Online Only: Members $8; non-Members $16 (Online sales close at 5 p.m. on the day of the event.)
  • At the Door: Members $10; non-Members $20
Sponsored by The Richard P. Garmany Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving
