Food, fun, culture, beer. Here’s why this CT club has it all and going strong for 160+ years

Think German food, beer, lots of games and even choir practice.

That’s what goes on at Newington’s Hartford Saengerbund, a German American social club that predates the Civil War and is still going strong after 166 years.

The non-profit club has more than 300 members that gather most Friday nights for the afore mentioned revelry.
