Max Downtown on the Farm June 19 and 20, 2020

UPDATE – June 11, 2020 – Due to the popularity of the first nights of Max Downtown on the Farm we are adding tickets for June 19 and June 20,

While Max Downtown is on hiatus due to Covid-19 related restriction, we will be taking the show on the road and setting up our kitchen out on the farm – Rosedale Farm in Simsbury, CT, which is also the summer home for the Max Chef to Farm Series – now in its 13th season.

Continuing on with the summer series – Max Downtown will be on the farm June 19th and 20th. Seating is limited and we will be taking all of the precautions you will see (and sometimes not see) as in our restaurants. We are following all State and CDC Guidelines for safety and sanitization. Below is a complete list of FAQs that we know are on our guest’s mind, so we hope you find this helpful. If there are any other questions, please feel free to reach out to Max Customer Service to discuss.

We look forward to seeing you out on the farm – safe and with a little distance. We do have 200 acres to roam across, so there is plenty of space!

Special Valentine’s Day Cocktails at Max’s

All of our MAXologists have been working hard to create new and innovative cocktails to feature over the next few days leading up to Valentine’s Day. Each cocktail has a unique style created by the local bartenders at each of our locations, and most of them will be featuring Mionetto Prosecco, a lovely sparkling wine from Italy, as the main ingredient. Loads of fresh ingredients from raspberries to edible orchids are being used. Make your reservations today or just stop by one of our taverns for a great, original cocktail, such as Mike Mills’ “Downtown Love” from Max Downtown in Hartford.
