2nd Bridge Brewing Company Brewery • $$

“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!“

Urban Lodge Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
47 Purnell Pl, Manchester

“One of the nicest breweries in the state! The atmosphere is top-notch and their food selection is delicious. Loved the presentation for their flights. You scan can the QR code menu at your table, place your order and check out digitally. And they bring it right up to you, wherever you're seated. At most other places this might seem impersonal, but the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need. Can't wait to come back.“

“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.“

“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“

Paddle Creek Beer Company Brewery • $$
1277 Main St, East Hartford - 6.11 miles

“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!“

Thomas Hooker Brewery at Colt Brewpubs • $$
140 Huyshope Ave, Hartford - 7.46 miles

“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!“

East Hartford Brewing Brewery •
776 Tolland St, East Hartford - 4.13 miles

“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!“

Hops on the Hill Farm Brewery Brewery • $$
275 Dug Rd, South Glastonbury - 9.3 miles

“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.“

Connecticut Valley Brewing Company Brewery • $$
765 Sullivan Ave, South Windsor - 5.64 miles

“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.“
