“We recently hosted an event here, from the start Andy was very responsive and very quick to get back to me. He was prompt and kept me up to date on the entire process. During our event our bartender Bianca was great and every one was so helpful. I highly recommend working with them for events and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend and will come back in the future for any event needs. Thank you again to all the staff.“
“Loud, happening brewery in downtown Hartford. Came late afternoon Saturday during March Madness and it was packed. Seating is first come, first served. Luckily a couple was leaving the bar area and we got to sit there. Beers were too bad and food was tasty. We enjoyed onion rings and fries, Philly steak sandwich, Buffalo chicken empanadas and a special sandwich on the menu. Beer and food is paid separately unless you're at the bar. We had a gift card giving us issues and luckily a bartender took care of it for us. Will check this place out again before a Yard Goats game this summer...“
“Great atmosphere! Came for pre-turkey day trivia which also was a blanket drive-- good cause! We like ciders and sours so did a flight with Sucker Punch'd and Scorpion Bowl being our favorites! Service was fast, friendly and helpful (the keg of scorpion kicking with my pour so they have me another of my choice, which was awesome). Would def stop in again!“
“One of my favorite go-to breweries in New Britain! Have only had good experiences with the service here, everyone's always very friendly and personable! Great spot for big groups, as it's super spacious. Also, dog friendly!! My little guy loves to join me and my friends for a night out, enjoying his own special dog beer! The human beers are great too with a large selection, highly recommend!!“
“Really well crafted beers. The inside of the brewery is built and decorated to give you a warm, cozy feel. You will not feel like you're on Main St in EH. It made me feel like I was in a brewery in NH or ME. Worth the trip! Will definitely be back!“
“Could this spot be any cooler? I grew up knowing all the lore around Dudleytown so this brewery was a must-try. They have food trucks but you can also bring in your own food/snacks. The beer is...wow. So good. The stouts are especially delectable. The place is huge and the outdoor space is beautiful but it was January when we went so we didn't sit outside. But I can't wait to go when it's warm. This place is a vibe for sure.“
“I visit this brewery occasionally because of how good their beer is. I have a soft spot for stouts and barrel aged beers, since not many breweries like to Brew them. New Park mailed those down perfectly. Their imperial stouts - Ferrous and Crane - are close to perfection with the rich coffee and chocolate taste. Cypress (barleywine) is arguably among the best barleywines I tried. IPA/DIPAs are also decent and hoppy of you're into this.There's plenty of space inside and they have a patio opened during warm months. The place also has its own kitchen and their website is up to date on both menu and the beer, which I personally appreciate.“
“Recently(ish) moved to Manchester and went here for the first time a few weeks ago. Nice spot both times I’ve been and the vibe is very much that of a local haunt with lots of regulars who know each other. Hopefully I’ll be one of ‘em eventually!“
“I came here on a Monday, just to have a couple of beers. I didn't realize it was trivia night so I ended up staying for a bit longer than expected. Spoiler alert: I didn't win. I didn't try any food but pizza seemed to be the only thing they offered. The beer list was a little disappointing since 80% of the beers listed were IPAs. I love that style but I know there are several that don't so that could be something to consider. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere to have a couple and enjoy the afternoon.“
“Wow! What else can I say... this is a great brewery! Our friend introduced this spot to us and what a winner! If you're from East Hartford you may recognize their brews from Burnside like the famous Ten Penny Ale. They're back as East Hartford Brewery with some of their old favorites and more! I got a flight and this was the first time in a long time I liked every beer I tried. My favorites were the Penny Weiz and the Leafy Penny! The inside/outside seating area is so cozy and filled with a bunch of heaters for the chilly weather. What a cool vibe. Staff was awesome as well. And the best part? They're dog friendly!!! They also have a great lineup for food trucks. We'll definitely be back!“
“Awesome brewery and beer. Backeast is also very creative with new beers and trying different ways to mix them. I personally like to see new things to try when I go to the brewery but still have those favorite staple beers they make. 5 stars“
“Always a beer (or two or three) that I like at either the Hartford or the Bloomfield location. The different specials aren't easy to locate on social media - this brewery doesn't seem to participate on yelp either The bartender last weekend was so friendly and pointed out a great case special to us before we were leaving that we ended up purchasing. Not sure if they do case specials in the Hartford location - have only ever send them in Bloomfield and that makes sense based on the size of the location.If you bring your own growler, their prices are pretty good for a 64 oz refill.“
“This is easily the best pizza and bar in town. The pizza is an absolute standout--crispy thin crust and consistently delicious. The beer selection is solid and the staff is always so friendly. We are so happy they do trivia now on Tuesday nights!Definitely worth adding New Park to a must visit.“
“Their beers are excellent. They have a six oz option so we tried several and liked all of them. They have staff that serve you at your table so you don't need to go to the bar. Everyone we spoke with there was friendly and knowledgeable about their beer. It is near the train station but you can only see the bottom of the trains from inside the brewery. They close at 8 pm, I hope they consider extending their hours.“
“We hosted our friend’s Celebration of Life at WeHa. Cody was flexible with us about the date/timing of the party as it coincided with an already pre-planned event. Additionally, he was very responsive to our many emails! The venue was beautiful, and it was a great location to get 100 people together to raise a glass to our live who passed.“
“I can't believe, as a Glastonbury native, it took me until late this summer to get here. Now it's on my "regular destination" list thanks to the beautiful setting, the atmosphere with live music and food trucks, and the excellent selection of quality beers. What a great "hang" place. And if you're a bicyclist like me, a perfect spot for ending your ride.“

“Still Hill Brewery is located amongst some industrial offices. It looks unassuming from the outside, just like the rest of the business in the area. But inside you'll be greeted with the most pleasant bartender and a nice variety of beers. Still Hill is a smaller brewery. It's got a variety of seating available inside as well as a few outside.When I went there was a band playing some 60s music. They were very good! Some people were dancing. I had the Fruitatious Sourpuss Blood Orange Pomegranate. This was refreshing and tart, a good sour. My friend had the HoneyCrisp cider, this one is very light and crisp, I didn't try this one, but the name and very light nature of this one, seem like that's the perfect name for it.They have a variety of games to play, we played Uno cards while the band played and we drank our beers.They don't offer any food at Still Hill, but you are welcome to bring your own.“
“This was my second time at Elicit Brewing. First time I was here was with Yelp Elite crew and that day, I knew I had to come back and bring my friends.I came by on March 16, 2023 with a group of friends. We all agreed with this sentiment.AMBIENCE: The ambience is electrifying. Everyone is enjoying themselves. I loved the set out of plenty of sitting in the large area and then the sofas on the other side. Its perfect for large groups.BEER & FOOD: The drinks variety are plentiful. There is a beer for everyone. I love their prices as I have gone to many brewery and the beer prices are much balanced here. On this day they even have beers at $3 dollars. So if you are on a budget, you have choices. I have to talk about the food. I have to say that yes its mainly bar food but OMG everything is done RIGHT. I mean it. Everyone in my group agreed that the choices were great and quality was amazing. We were extremely surprised with their eggplant fries which some in the group don’t like eggplants and were LIKE WHAT?? Yes they loved it. We had the following items in their menu; sweet potatoes waffles; Philly eggrolls; chicken bites, eggplant fries, wings, sweet heat.EVENT: On this day they had live music on the down stairs and DJ upstairs. I love them both. We left almost at 1am after dancing and singing with strangers that were all there to have fun. I love that they had plenty of security presence everywhere. This is highly important to me and it gave me a sense of safety and responsibility from the staff. My friends all loved it and thought the only bad thing is how far they are from us.STAFF and ORDERING: Here I thought they had excellent ordering system and process. They have a great set up with at least 6 cashier registers to dispense your drink orders. On the other side they have about 2 registers for food ordering. Everything is very modern and easy to order. You get a buzzer, get a table and then pick up your food a few minutes later.So come on over and experience what a great brewery looks like. Loved every minute here and hope to be back soon.“
“This place exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was quite friendly and relaxing. The fries with the dipping sauces were to die for. The IPA's were very solid and I heard the strawberry lemonade was top notch. My only complaint would be to have a milkshake IPA on the beer list but beggars can't be choosers. Overall, this place is top notch, especially when you have great company.“
“They brought our food first before our soup and salad, we asked for the manager it took a long time we walked out this was the second time I had this experience in this place The service here is not good. We went back there again in the middle of September of 2021, this time we got a better service. We are back in November of 2022 and service is much better. In March 2024 is all good“
“I came in here on a Saturday afternoon when I was in town for the Hartford Marathon. It wasn't too busy and it was easy to find a seat. I ordered a flight and a half order of nachos. The half order was a large portion and they did not skim on the toppings!“
