| - I had never reviewed Caliente when it was under the previous ownership and I'm glad I didn't for the new owners, who happen to be awesome.
The atmosphere is much of what you would expect from a bar. People jabbering away and TV's in the background with sports, all standard good stuff. The decor is in the process of changing with the new owners, more cool stuff on the wall and the addition of the chalkboard paint listing all the tap brews (all 20) is really cool. What makes Caliente welcoming is the staff, none of who I have ever had an issue with... From the handy man to the owners, they know how to treat patrons.
As for the food, it is pretty damn good. The pizza is, in my opinion, the best in Bloomfield. It is obvious that they use fresh ingredients, many of which I believe are local. The wings are solid and the sandwiches are put on superb bread, which I think makes or breaks most sandwiches.
Drinking! If you like craft beer then Caliente is your place to go in Bloomfield... The selection on tap is fantastic with Hercules Double IPA, Raging Bitch Belgium IPA and Dogfish Head Burton and Baton only to name a few... There is 20 on tap in total and one will not find a miller lite or bud light in the mix... IF you prefer bottles, well they have two full coolers full of craft brews, including my personal favorite, Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA... And for you hipsters, they most certainly have Pabst Blue Ribbon available...
You can't go wrong with Caliente.
