Don’t forget to ask about their daily specials! We lucked out with this awesome creation from their Chef, a blueberry compote and fried dough dessert a la mode. It was the highlight of our time there. 

Every Tuesday there is all you can eat pasta for $9.99 a person and every Monday there is 4 draught beers! Doesn’t get better than this. 

Their outdoor patio space is a quintessential spot for lunch during the warmer months, get there soon! 

About BJ Ryan’s East:

Welcome to the newest addition to the BJ Ryan’s family located in East Norwalk on the corner of First Street & Cove Avenue.

They’re proud to take over the legendary Partner’s Café location. With so much history there, they knew they needed to keep some of the nostalgia this locale offers while bringing in their own modernized pub flare. It’s important to them to maintain the family friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant scene that preceded them. Their menu features a variety of Chef Lisa’s specialties, excellent sandwiches, the original Partner’s pizza we all know and love, loaded salads, and many gluten-free options.

Looking for drinks? They boast an extensive selection of  tasty cocktails, craft beer, bourbons and tequilas! This East Norwalk gem is guaranteed to please, whether you’re fresh off the boat, beach, or playing field or enjoying a night out with that special someone. Come check out the newest, old spot in East Norwalk!
