The Assembly Room
222 Main St, New Britain, CT
Crema's Take
“The Assembly Room is New Britain's first food hall, so you're getting multiple vendors under one roof—think Fowl Play's chicken and waffles alongside Las Tortas' birria tacos, all shareable in a stylish space with fireplace seating that actually makes you want to linger. Weekend evenings bring live salsa bands or a DJ, transforming it from a casual daytime coffee and food spot into something more social and energetic. Fair warning: the service can be inconsistent, and you'll need to navigate ordering from different counters, but the vibe and variety make it worth figuring out.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly. Parking available.

This is not a restaurant. There are 2 maybe 3 vendors in the space. In the nighttime only the pizza shop sells slices. However, on saturday evenings they have live salsa bands or a DJ. It's a great crowd, lots of fun and gets very busy.
We had the chicken and waffles from Fowl Play and the birria tacos from Las Tortas! Both were really good. It was a little confusing because both restaurants had the same counter and kitchen but you can order from the three restaurants they have there at the same counter.
The Assembly Room is New Britain's first food hall. This is located in downtown New Britain. Parking can be found at various garages. We happened to find this place by chance because we were at the Celebrate New Britain event. The interior was spacious, clean, and inviting.…
I attended a private family event in one of the two rooms they have that are available for a fee. Overall the entire venue was beautiful! The cozy fireplace couch areas are very nice to sit & have a drink or eat some of the delicious food that the two eateries have to offer.…
Been wanting to go to this place for a while now. I will say that aesthetics are very nice. When we got there, we went straight to the back to order food. Martha C customer’s service was awful. She was not welcoming. You could tell that she really didn’t wanna be there or serve…
