2 reviews for The Pavilion
When you're at Soundview Beach, this is the place to be. If you want a place to hang out, bikini clad there really is no better place in the area. They have lots of activities all summer: DECENT BANDS, liquor promotions, dance contests, beach volleyball... They also have outdoor seating with a gorgeous view of the Long Island Sound and raw bar which always scores points with me.
Now why the three stars? Last time I was there I could not get service. No matter how hard I tried, the bartenders would not offer me a drink. When I finally asked for the manager, it turned out that she was one of the bartenders and claimed that she "hadn't seen me." I was wearing a green polka-dotted dress for goodness sake and practically climbing over the bar! She did give me a drink for free, but then when the bill came, somehow I was charged for two drinks that I had never had the opportunity to order! I've never left a day at the beach as angry as I was that day.
And quite honestly after that experience I would probably rate it even lower, but it does have some redeeming qualities and the service isn't always bad (when my friends are working). Plus I do liquor promotions there, so I can't totally bash it.

I used to live in Old Lyme. i do not like this place. The music is loud, the people are less than appealing and it has a rep for serving underage kids - which is not something i condone. My friend used to be a doorman - him and his friend got stabbed - yes with a knife - yes in Old Lyme. A drunk guy came out and was unhappy, so he pulled a knife on innocent employees. This place brings trouble where it is not wanted and is just plain loud. Dude, Brah, i know you think its super cool, but seriously, there must be better places.
