Different type of brewery. 1. Very casual set up with tables & couches. 2. Nice but not fancy. 3. Beer was excellent. 4. But the best thing (at least for me) is they allow dogs. Awesome. There were 5 dogs there.They have food but it’s limited & the menu changes weekly. The kitchen is located across from the brewery.In addition there is a bakery, a barkey (for the dogs) & several other small stores.Going back soon…………with my dog.

Tried a flight of different sour ale. The beer and service was good. Only thing I didn’t like here was that it smelled wet dog.

Great selection of beers and ciders. Mixed between sours and cider. Can’t get over the smell of WET DOG when you walk in. Very overwhelming. I understand it’s dog friendly, but come on..Pool table, dart board and mix of board games

Great little brewery/venue. I come every year for Hoppy Holidays and have a really good time. You can get great food from The Lab, which is in the same complex, as is Rosie's Chocolates, among others. Very family (and dog) friendly, too.

Joe, one of the bartenders, is the BEST! He is so kind and helpful. We have dealt with him numerous times and he is so great. This place is awesome. They are laid back and everyone always has a great time. Dogs are welcome and there are many games to play. Such a selection of drinks and service is so fast even when they are busy.

We like this spot. Great place to watch football on Sunday. They also have pool tables. For anyone who doesn’t drink, they have nonalcoholic items on the menu. For food, you can order from The Lab next door and they bring it over.

After the Apple Harvest Festival my friend and I stopped by the Witchdoctor Brewery. We shared a flight of their fruity and sour beers! I have been here before and I've had the Bunny Patch, this is a very tasty strawberry IPA. The other one I really like is Mango Wanna Bango, how funny is that name? This is a mango and guava sour. This is just what I like, a fruity sour! Yum!There are a lot of options here if you're into the fruity sours like I am. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the beers and will offer samples. We had a lot of fun here, there was a musician playing the guitar and singing, he sounded magnificent! We also played scrabble, while enjoying the beers, and live music. After checking in on Yelp they gave me a Witchdoctor sticker, haven't decided where it's home will be yet. Is it appropriate if I place it on my work laptop?
I went to Witchdoctor Brewing as part of a fundraiser for the Meriden Humane Society, and got to sample several beers with Fascia's Chocolates. The brewery is located in what looks to be an old factory. There is parking by the wheelchair entrance, parking going around in the building, and ending in a large lot in back. There is also street parking by the wheelchair entrance. There is a sign on the wall, but don't feel bad if you overlook it at first. The entrance blends in. It does look as though you can park in the large lot and enter through the building. The ambiance is a bit dark, the lights look industrial with metal chairs and wood tables. There's a fair amount of seating, and a loooong bar. The bar is longer than their considerable chalkboard menu, which is saying something. There are two single restrooms that are very clean, as is the rest of the facility. The beer itself was good, although my sampling included chocolate (which I recommend people try!). My favorite was the Bunny Patch (Strawberry Milkshake IPA) which did have a strawberry taste. It pairs really well with a Cinnamon Cream. The beers were served full to the brim, and the brewery employees were very friendly.

Went for drinks after work with the crew to try some brews. It was our first time visiting Witchdoctor Brewing for most of us, but I have visited other businesses like Perkatory Coffee Roasters that are also in the same space. They are in a large multi-level, brick, industry building that was turned into multiple offices, restaurants, and shops. The building's aesthetic is used in the Witchdotor Brewing's favor showcasing the exposed beams and industrial decor. They had a variety of different beers on tap. A lot of the names were fun like I Am Frut that was a raspberry sour. The staff at the bar were very knowledgeable and helped us choosing a brew.The space is very large like a grand hall with a lot of seating: bar seating, tables and couches to fit any party. Since there is so much space, it did not feel very crowded. It wasn't loud and everyone was pretty chill. There were board games to play and you could order food from The Lab. They are dog friendly too.

A really cool vibe with great music, two dart boards, a billiards table, some games, fantastic service and most importantly TASTY BEER!Everything from IPAs, brown ales, stouts and sours were great. My favorite was the brown ale, Paupers Porridge.
