Dirty Soda in Middletown, CT
Sip Well is Middletown's dirty soda counter, at 386 Main Street inside Main Street Market.
Sip Well is Middletown's dirty soda counter, at 386 Main Street inside Main Street Market. Fourteen drinks built to order — classic dirty sodas, prebiotic sodas and teas, and refreshers with no soda in them at all — plus a full build-your-own bar.
Finding us
We are on Main Street itself, in the middle of downtown's seven walkable blocks. Main Street Market is the indoor marketplace on the east side of the street; come in through the Main Street entrance and we are one of the shops inside, so you are looking for the building rather than a street-facing storefront.
Wesleyan's campus is a short walk up the hill, and Middlesex Health on Crescent Street is a few blocks north.
Why there wasn't one before
Middletown sits where Route 9 and Interstate 91 meet, which makes it the middle of the state in a fairly literal sense. Downtown has close to 200 independent businesses across seven blocks, and until now not one of them poured a dirty soda. Yelp's own results for this part of Connecticut still point people to Plainville, more than thirty miles away.
What to order
- Dr. J if you want the classic — Dr Pepper, vanilla and coconut cream
- Mountain Magic if you would rather have a prebiotic base
- Golden Coast if you want the least sweet thing we make
