Spotlight

Born in 1922 as an exclusive private country club, the Windham Club has been restored and opened to the public. Set on 120 acres of lovely parkland, our facility boasts an 18-hole championship golf course, two restaurants, and extraordinary indoor-outdoor spaces for banquets and events of any size.

Turning a venerable but fading landmark into a modern and festive facility required combining a sense of tradition with a drive for innovation. Working with original steel beams uncovered during our work, and new ones added later, we combined a sense of traditional New England industrialism in the space with the clean lines and well-lit spaces that define a modern sensibility. To take advantage of our half-mile views, we built a 2000 sq ft deck and surrounded it with cedar
and steel rebar railings. Those railings support our “infinity tables” — “tables for two with a view”. Inside we combined seasonal colors with three chandeliers comprised of flying glass shards to create a dynamic look, and added a festive, almost Caribbean bar, just for fun.

Whether it is Chef Dennis Anderson’s novel New American Cuisine, the innovative architectural features of our clubhouse, or the classic design and conditioning of our golf course, you can expect the best at the Windham Club.

If You Like Fresh Beer & Enjoy Good Food…

The Willimantic Brewing Co./Main Street Café is a living
landmark restaurant & pub brewery located in Willimantic, in the heart of rural northeastern Connecticut. Located at 967 Main St. Willimantic, CT 06226 at the corner of Main Street & High Street in downtown Willimantic, Connecticut

Our original Main Street Café was founded in 1991, and began operations as a small deli in the old Capitol Theatre building on Main Street in Willimantic, CT. Occupying both the lobby and concession area of the theatre, seating was limited to 50 people. After 3 years we were bursting at the seams and made the move to 877 Main Street, another historic building. There we expanded to a full service restaurant and featured American craft-brewed beers and an extensive menu.

One more move was in the cards for us, and we made yet another trek down Main Street to our home in the current granite and limestone 1909 U.S. Post Office Building. Abandoned in 1967 by the Federal Government this building lay vacant for nearly 30 years. When used as a post office, our dining room was the post office work room, our pub was the customer lobby, and the private dining room was the Postmaster‘s office. Although extensive renovations have been made to the building, we wanted to retain the early 20th century architecture as well as create a pleasant atmosphere for dining. Remnants of post office memorabilia have been preserved to add to the flavor of the restaurant. Featured in our dining room is a 12‘ by 17‘ mural, created by Gordan MacDonald, depicting 1920‘s Main Street scene. A 60‘ mahogany bar, crafted by Peter Huckins is the centerpiece of the pub area.

It is in this building that the Willimantic Brewing Company was born. Viewed from our Dining Room, our 7 barrel brewery produces our freshly made handcrafted beers. Please feel free to explore our main floor and discover all our hidden treasures. On behalf of our entire staff, we welcome you and hope you share in our excitement for our living landmark restaurant and pub brewery.
