About Daniel Street

Welcome to Daniel Street, now home to The Blind Rhino Milford. Located at 21 Daniel St in Milford, CT, this historic building has evolved from the Daniel Street Club to Eli's Tavern and, most recently, The Blind Rhino Milford, a versatile venue focusing on live music, private events, and dining experiences. The space carries a rich legacy of intimate shows and has expanded to accommodate private gatherings with dedicated seating areas while continuing to spotlight local and touring artists. Whether you're here for a show, a private event, or a night out near downtown Milford, we’ve got you covered with practical details, nearby stays, and convenient transportation options.

Note: The venue’s capacity has evolved over time. Current private event seating includes The Nook/Dining Room (seats 25-40) and The Stage (seats 25). For shows, seating specifics may vary by event. Always secure your seats through our trusted partner network for a smooth, no-fuss experience.

Daniel Street’s history is rooted in Milford’s music scene. The original Daniel Street Club opened in 2005 as a music nightclub and closed on January 1, 2012. The building later housed Eli's Tavern before becoming The Blind Rhino Milford in late 2025. The site has hosted notable acts over the years, including John Doe (X), Justin Townes Earl, Dinosaur Jr, and Josh Ritter in 2011. The venue sits in a prime downtown Milford location, accessible by major routes and public transit, with nearby lodging and dining options to complement your night out.
