West Central Wine — Restaurant in Middletown

Update August 16, 2023: Twice a month now, West Central Wine is hosting lively fun Open Mic's on Wednesday nights 7-10pm. It's a real blast with talented musicians, poetry and comedy.

Also, It was affordable. So it's a great place for a date, to hang out, or just sit and...

We have had good experiences in the past, but my wife went in with a friend tonight and they were harassed by a number of drunk patrons. I know that in some ways you can't keep Middletown from being Middletown, but I would hope the owners/employees would work to make it a safe place for their customers. There was a bar crawl going on that made the place crowded, drunk customers with no personal boundaries, people leaning on her car out front smoking, and all other kinds of nonsense. My wife is a saint so she still tipped well, but I'm very upset with the climate of what falsely seems to be a...
