I've been to Elicit Brewing Company in Manchester multiple times -- probably around six times at this point -- and every single visit has been such a fun experience. This place is HUGE and has so many different vibes all in one building, which I absolutely love. The drink selection is one of my favorite parts. They have so many beers on tap, plus cider flights, sour flights, beer flights -- all different types of flights if you're like me and enjoy trying a little bit of everything. And if beer isn't your thing, they have cocktails too, so everyone in your group can find something they like. The food is just as impressive. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are AMAZING -- crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The burgers are delicious, and the desserts? Oh my goodness. The deep-fried Oreos are next-level. Atmosphere is where Elicit really stands out. There's the big open beer hall feel inside, but also different sections depending on what kind of night you're looking for. It can be chill and casual earlier in the evening, then turn into more of a going-out/club vibe later on. There's a cocktail bar upstairs, and as the night goes on the energy really shifts. In the summer they have bands (sometimes outside), a full outdoor bar, a fireplace, two inside bars, a little quieter lounge area with couches, and even a small game room. Bathrooms upstairs and downstairs make it convenient, and you can rent rooms for private parties too. I also like how the food ordering works -- they give you a pager and you pick up your food when it's ready. Tables are first come, first serve though, so definitely save your spot because you can lose your seat if you're not careful, especially on busy nights. It does get packed on weekends, so I recommend getting there early if you want a good table for your group. But overall, it's one of my go-to spots in Manchester when I want good drinks, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a place I'll keep going back to -- and those Philly cheesesteak egg rolls will always bring me back. read more

Normally I love elicit! always a good time to grab drinks and food with friends , they host fun trivia nights and have a dog friendly outdoor patio during the summer ( which I love ). . So I was super excited when I saw they were hosting a galentines day drag brunch !! The drag show was amazing !!! But I was disappointed that there was no BRUNCH food . You can't have a brunch show and no brunch . They did offer a regular menu to order from . The other problem is that there were no servers so we had to order food and go downstairs pick up our own food and. Then bring it back upstairs... which is very annoying if you are going there for a show and have to leave to get food ! Not to mention there was an issue doors were suppose to open at 10 am so we got there early to get seats settle in and order food . However the doors open well after 10:30 . And possibly an issue with the bartenders ( not being available) but they were able to figure that out thankfully by the 11 am show . So a lot of issues .. the show itself was amazing . The food was okay . I did end up getting the grilled chicken sandwich which was good ( nothing amazing ) and the fries were plain no seasoning . 3/5 for the food . The drinks were good ! I ordered the strawberrry Hugo spritz that had elderflower in it which I really enjoyed all flavours were balanced equally (4/5 ) and then I tried the peach hard palmer which I was not a fan off (3/5 ) Drag show 10/10 ! ( highly recommend ) I wish they advertised it a just a drag show and not a brunch + show ( since there was no brunch options ) ! And also a very limited Valentine's Day cocktails ( only one option of a red velvet martini) Overall fun event but need to plan events better if they do plan on hosting and consider adding food specific for the event ( or not advertise as brunch .. if you don't plan on offering brunch food ) ! read more

After reading multiple reviews, I was still surprised by this cavernous creation, located in a repurposed factory. Despite having the Patriots on a massive jumbotron, there were tables available. Though the noise was considerable, it was not overwhelming. A massive line of taps was attended by several pourers. Flights could only include Elicit Brews, but I was fine with that. A large nostalgic sign and arrow said "Eat Here" but it was the location to order food and pick up a buzzer. Options were a nice variety of pub food; burgers, tacos, appetizers, and one of my favorites, fried pickles. The food was great, the beer was delicious, the Patriots were on fire, and all was right in my world. read more

It is a great place to hang out! I went for an event and it was so much fun. Great drinks and food.

I was at a private event (baby shower) at Elicit and it was great! The entire upstairs was rented out for the event. There was a full bar there but for frozen drinks it was only served at the patio bar. We were given wristbands for drinks at other bars other than the one where our event took place so it was counted as our open bar for the event. The space is so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Great lighting. Could've been cooler with air conditioning as it was super hot on a July afternoon. There were bar seating, regular tables and booths. We were able to order any drink. The food was set up in a different room and there was also seating there. The garlic Parmesan and Cajun dry rub wings were sooooooo delicious; cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The pizza was thin crust bar pizza and really good. The signature salad had candied walnuts with a spring mix, blue cheese crumbles and vinaigrette. The salmon in lemon caper sauce was my absolute favorite! My only complaint is there's no elevator for ADA access and the AC could've been better. read more

This is a nice big brewery with many different areas you could be in, the comfy lounge in the front, the beer hall in the middle, the lovely patio up top, or there's a club apparently above...which I haven't been to, but i'm told it exists! The beers are good, they give you teenty little ones to try for 3 dollars. The cocktails have been solid, they make a killer espresso martini. The food is delicious, though the pizza is.....it is giving flatbread. Very reasonable prices, and plenty of parking. I like it! read more

I visited Elicit for their Y2K music bingo night. It was such a fun time and there was a large turnout! I like that Elicit hosts so many events. Their space is perfect for big groups and they have an upstairs event venue as well. Their holiday decorations are really cool and add to the space for sure. I got a southern hospitality burger which came with some really good french fries. I think I could've had a plate of the fries alone and been happy. The burger was good and filling, but a bit messy. Something compelled me to order a non-alc espresso martini off their mocktail menu and while it was delicious, I'm pretty sure it was just coffee in a martini glass lol. All in all, a great spot for when you're looking for something to do! read more

We hosted a private event upstairs at Elicit Brewing and it was an all-around fantastic experience. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond--super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly for our group. The upstairs space is massive, giving us plenty of room to spread out, mingle, and enjoy the night. There was a birthday party happening and trivia night in full swing downstairs, and somehow the vibe was still perfectly balanced--lively but not chaotic. The pizza buffet was a crowd-pleaser and impressively accommodating to all dietary needs. Everyone found something they enjoyed, which isn't always easy with a large group. Afterward, we hung out playing cornhole until close--it was the perfect way to cap off the night. Between the great beer, laid-back atmosphere, and standout staff, Elicit hit every mark. Highly recommend this spot for private events, casual nights out, or anything in between. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great brew spot. Beers were tasty. We went for some live music, but got the tail end of it. Regardless, what we did hear was enjoyable. They have an upstairs with a DJ. He spun the best dance music. Great crowd. What a fun night. read more

Came here for a retirement get together. So, the hubby and I decided to come a bit early to get something to eat. When we walked in. There were two table couch areas that were vacant. But the table was filled with so much glasses and garbage. We still sat at one of the tables and just pushed the garbage to the side. We ordered food and just waited to see if anyone would clear the table across from us. Of course the table wasn't cleared and a couple that came in and wanted to sit there ended gathering all the trash and putting it on the tray and brought it to the counter. Ok, let's talk food. The food was good. The hubby and I shared a burger which I can't remember the burger name. We had that with some sweet potato fries. Which both the sweet potato fries and the burger was really delicious. We had also ordered some buffalo chicken wings which was also good. And I added some whipped ricotta and sourdough bread. The food was good for a little bar bite. I also liked how they have so many beers on tap to choose from. I definitely recommend to come here if you want to have some little bites and good beer and spend time with great company. read more

From the parking lot, there's no way you'll be prepared for how cool the inside of this place is. We stopped by on a Sunday while staying in town, and the service was excellent. I'm a fan of a good fruity sour beer and they had a bunch to choose from - but I couldn't decide - so I got a flight and tried them all. So many options for beer lovers and non-beer lovers alike. The food was good and easy to order on the website, the sweet chili sauce on the wings was incredible. I loved the back patio, so much space to accommodate tons of people - including kids and dogs - with games and activities and another bar. The inside is super fun and would be perfect for a large group event. I especially loved the pinball machines in the arcade. If you're in the Manchester area, please stop by. read more

Same ole stuff. Its too bad they dont improve their beer or at least support some good loval breweries. If you follow untappd, you'll see all their brewed beers average about a 3.25. Just brew 4 beers very well and dump yhe rest read more

Huge place, much bigger than I thought walking in. They have several dining spots, at the front, .idle back, way back and to the side. There are even breakout rooms in the side and an outdoor section in the back. We came here for trivia and even on a Monday there was a lot of buzz and itvwas loud. Food was actually pretty good, you have to order it at the station and they have a whole wall dedicated to drinks. Fun place to hang out, good energy and vibe. read more

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; burger and fries, 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. read more

This was a perfect find for a large group . The bartender was extremely attentive and kind(I wish I caught her name). We are a travel softball team and everyone was able to set up a "family" tab for the evening. The system remembers you from bar to food counter so our teens (16+) were able to pretend like they didn't know us as we sang along to the music bingo (so fun)! Good food for everyone (A+pub grub)! Fun family friendly space ... the patio has large connect fours and corn hole. All the staff was friendly and amazing ! We were there on a Tuesday night, 5-8 pm so there was no age limit or bouncer that you may find on a weekend (understandably) Kudos to this place!!! read more

A brewery that is also an event space! They have a lovely downstairs area and a back porch with a firepit in the summer. Inside there are many rows of high top tables, a lounging area out front, and then often a dance club and bar area upstairs! The upstairs part of the venue area is sometimes closed for special events and it has a wonderful glass overlook where you can peer down on the rest of the establishment... (if you go to the bathroom or into one of the adjoining rooms). Good for groups! Note that during peak business hours, it may be hard to find a seat! For food --- it is bar food but I have no complaints. Note that it is not usually why I go there... (actually never something that I can quite recall much about -- either good or bad)... but I recommend swinging by if you are looking for a good time on a Thursday through Saturday night! read more

Had such a great time at Elicit Brewing last night! The food was delicious and they have a large menu, offering tacos, wings, pizza, sandwiches, desserts, and more. I sampled several of the tacos (my favorite being the chicken) and wings (offering five different flavors), and cheeseburger sliders, and everything was great! I LOVED their fried Oreos, which are fairly new to the menu and a great addition. Plenty of choices on tap, but also have cocktails and mock-tails available too. I highly suggest the Downeast cider donut (with cinnamon sugar rim) or their cocktail Butter Balls (can't go wrong with cream soda and butterscotch schnapps). This is the perfect place for a night out or to chill and watch the games, so much seating and huge televisions. Not to mention the staff was so friendly and the service was exceptional. read more

We came here expecting a simple meal and ordered burgers. After waiting over 30 minutes, we were told the grill wasn't working. Instead of letting us know earlier, the staff just suggested we either order something else or get a refund. Since we'd already waited so long, we decided to order pizza, tacos, and a wrap instead. When we tried to get a refund for the burger order, they had trouble processing it because their system wasn't working. After almost an hour and a half, our food finally came -- and it wasn't good at all. They gave us a $10 gift card, but it was only valid starting the next day. Honestly, that just added to the frustration. We're sure we won't be returning. read more

The philly steak egg rolls are the bomb. I tried something new the last time I went. Tried the Philly steak pizza which was ok but not a favorite and wouldn't get again.

This brewery is a must go to as you won't be disappointed especially trying their foods. read more

I recently assisted my cousin in throwing a surprise birthday/retirement party here for my aunt. Everything went very smoothly and the staff couldn't have been more helpful! I arrived early to put up some decorations in the room my cousin had rented and they let us in before they opened. I had to inquire about the best entrance for a few of our guests in wheelchairs and the staff was very accommodating regarding that. We had unlimited pizza and salad for two hours and everything was fresh and delicious, perfect for a big group! They also kindly provided plates and utensils for the cake that we brought which I thought went above and beyond. The drinks and beer were also excellent and the atmosphere was lively and fun as always, perfect for a celebration! I would highly recommend Elicit for your next party or event. read more

Before heading to Elicit, check their schedule- your experience will vary depending on when you visit- you can find a cozy vibe by the outdoor fireplace or a high-energy night. In warmer months, the outdoor patio is perfect for a drink in the fresh air, though it's not available year-round. During the colder months on weekend evenings, you'll find a lively indoor scene with a live band downstairs and loud beats in the upstairs club area. While you can't bring your own food, Elicit has an excellent menu with everything from savory bites to indulgent desserts. Their diverse draft selection is sure to keep your glass full, too. Whether you want to relax or dance the night away, Elicit's dynamic atmosphere and great offerings make it a spot you'll want to check out. Just remember, the experience changes depending on the time of day or week! You will often have to pay a $5 cover on a Friday or Saturday evening after around 8:00 PM. read more

Elicit is probably the most fun brewery in Manchester. This is a very large brewery, with a pretty large parking lot. The downstairs is the brewery, the upstairs are the cocktails and the liquors. They have a very large selection of beers, and they have pretty funny names. Such as Botched Facelift, Helicopter Dad and Sip Me Til Ice Cream. They of course offer flights. Any beer I've ever had has always been very tasty. They will offer you a sample of any beer you ask for. My favorite part of Elicit is their outdoor patio. At the back of the brewery is the patio. Here you'll notice a mural of Marilyn Monroe holding a glass of Elicit beer. This is where they have live music, or comedy shows. They even have a bar outside, so you don't have to miss any of the performance while you're getting your refill. Outside you can dance, or sit with your group of friends by the fire pit. They have some food, it's nothing impressive, it's typical bar food. I have enjoyed the pretzel. I really like going to Elicit to see some live music while enjoying one of their craft beers. read more

Really great selection of beer, and super tasty stuff. Their Octoberfest special really was amazing. If you're lucky, you can grab seating outside, but we weren't and we had to sit inside which was fine until the dinner/after work crowd came in and it got super loud and crowded fast, we ended up leaving early just because of that. I felt anxious especially when people who obviously had too much to drink started literally screaming. The funny part is that these were older folks like in their 50's by the looks of it. The food was just ok, their homemade donuts were probably the best thing we ate. Kinda seems silly to ask people to tip when you, as the customer, literally have to get up and get your own food, and silverware, and bring it back to your table. There are so many breweries around here though that I don't know if I'd return unless as its an outside seat. read more

So went for an event upstairs and was pleasantly surprised with their drinks available since we were at a brewery. Don't get me wrong ..we had beers downstairs first. Had the best stout! Too many choices to write here! The downstairs was busy on a Wednesday but could grab a seat at a big shared table. Don't expect a quiet spot for two here. It's a join your friends after work and talk vibe! The upstairs was a more intimate spot and nice to have a private event if you are looking for that shower or birthday spot. Overall enjoyed the old Adams mill spot and will be back to watch the tvs, talk to friends and enjoy more beers! read more

4 solid stars, no issues here! lost power, gained a yelp, right? took the brood for dinner and honestly, to also charge our stuff! got there in time to benefit from their happy hour, worth it. dunkle for 5$ a pint? worth it! layout is fun, although the 2 top we crammed 5 onto, not so good, our own decision, we needed the outlets! get your food from one side, beer from another, buzzers along the way, it all works out! nice staff, good atmosphere, would come back, however, outside the happy hour, kinda pricey, but what isnt these days? prepare though for 100 tab should you want a few rounds and food too. oh, they also have pinball! nice addition! service please! read more

This place is so fun especially in the summer! Plenty of beer options for everyone, indoor outdoor seating and games. Upstairs is a different night club/pub vibe and did have good music on a Friday night we stumbled in. There was also a cover for Friday night even if you just hang downstairs (which apparently I understand is normal for CT). Food was only OK, counter service makes it quick and easy to order. Pretzel didn't miss but the elote nachos fries were ehhh. read more

We've been to Elicit Brewing twice and both times have been a great experience. This place is far more than a brewery...it is set up for events and entertainment. We just went up today to book our rehearsal dinner and it was BY FAR one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding. Emily was so organized and helpful. She made it such an easy process and accommodated our needs. As for the drinks and food... the has a FULL menu of bites and such. When we looked at the catering menu they offered even more. They have multiple fully functional bars that have so many options. On their large back patio they even have a tiki park serving up drinks all week (extra on Tiki Tuesdays)! The serve a variety of beers and ciders from more than their brewery. The front room was decorated for a baby shower last time we visited and we saw a wedding going on upstairs. We will be using the front room as well and I LOVE the glass details from the ceiling. There is a small room off of there with classic arcade games. I've enjoyed every visit and am confident that we will have a flawlessly executed event. We will update as we go! @thesidedishers read more

*Review is based exclusively on food from this location* This place is a beer garden that offers food. They've been around for a while now, never been because they are pretty much a bar. But I wanted to at least try the food, see if it's possibly a diamond in the rough. They are not. The portions are small, the prices are high, and the food is about what I would expect from a bar. Sliders were dense and unseasoned, beignets were extra crispy, tacos were doused in slaw to buk them out, but the street corn fries were pretty tasty. If I were drunk, the food would be good. But I wasn't drunk, so it's not good. But this type of location is a place you go to meet with friends and have a drink. For that purpose, this place seems more than able to accommodate. Just don't go here for food read more

They do offer food, but I didn't order any tonight. I came for a comedy show that took place in the upper level. There is a full service bar upstairs for events.

Veterans and animal lovers beware! On April 5th, 10 of us planned a family meet up at this location. One of our family members is a veteran with a trained service K9 named Shadow. Shadow is an amazing German Shepherd who wears a clearly marked "Service Dog" vest and spent the evening quietly sitting under our table. Our group started to arrive around 7 pm and began enjoying what is honestly a great venue, we all agreed that the location, food and drinks were excellent. The problem occurred upstairs at approximately 11 pm when a young, white, blonde male staff member approached our Veteran and Shadow at our table in a bouncer like fashion. He then told him that he allowed someone other than himself (Family members) to pet the dog in violation of ADA and their policy. Our veteran family member then asked "Okay, are you telling me I have to leave?" At which time he stated "Yes". Astonished and extremely disappointed we all immediately began to gather our belongings and leave in protest of what had just occurred even though we already as a group had spent well north of $500 in food and drink. I also tipped 20% before leaving since the Bartenders and Wait staff were good to us. We then asked to speak to a manager and were met at the exit by the manager who I believe was named "Amanda". She was professional and polite with me (Not as nice with the victim) but completely supported her staff member. Emphasizing "ADA" guidelines which I admittedly am unfamiliar with but our Veteran insisted that he did not violate any ADA service K9 guidelines and that his removal was illegal. We all then left after respectfully voicing our disappointment. The obvious issue is that if there was ever a time that required a delicate and compassionate approach is when addressing one of our amazing veterans who sacrificed so much for us all and now requires a Service Dog to manage life. There is no reason he couldn't have been politely approached and advised "Hello sir, can you please refrain from allowing anyone other than yourself to pet your K9 while in our establishment per our policy". And that would have been the end of it. Instead a young naive staff member made a poor decision and was supported by management. Our hope is that ownership will review any available camera footage of said evening confirming our version of the chain of events and address their staff and policy accordingly to prevent a veteran from ever being mistreated again. read more

As I passed by Adams street multiple times I saw a huge crowd and was intrigued to visit this place. After researching on Google and yelp, and a few months later, here is asummary of my experience. This place is a brewery, beer hall, cocktail bar, lounge, arcade and restaurant with regular events. The events include live entertainment and special celebrations for valentines day, Mardigras or margarita day to name a few. The menu tastes good and was priced reasonable. It wasn't crowded on the day I visited. People were spread all over with a few playing board games, jenga and cards to name a few. If you like beer, they have 5oz samplers for $3. However if you know what you want, a 20oz starts at $7. If you prefer a call crowd visit on a weekday with no events, if you enjoy the crowd, puck a Friday, Saturday or a day of the event. read more

So great to have a spot like Elicit in Manchester, CT! From the brews made in house, to all the other CT beer they have, you will always find something you want to drink at Elicit. The space is huge and gorgeous! There's plenty of space indoors, upstairs, and beautiful outdoor patio. The food is also great bar food-- pizza, wings, pretzels, and even desserts. Try the pretzels with honey mustard & beer cheese, it's the bomb! read more

First thoughts, ample parking and bouncer at the door. Ok is this going to be a night club? You pass through a lounge area of couches and armchairs. The main room is mostly elevated tables that seat about 8 people. There are also some lower picnic style tables. Outdoor seating if its not raining, and more seating upstairs with quieter, but large room. I came for the radio ad that said it was a bar / arcade. Nope. Please dont be fooled. Ordered our drinks from one of 6 ladies. They turn around and pull a tap. Good thing there are 6 of them to handle this. Then you have to walk to the other side of the room for food. They have you pay (and tip!) then hand you a beeper. Half an hour later, your appetizer is ready. $17 pulled pork quesedilla, which was quite good. $?? philly egg rolls which were just mediocre. $12 fried pickle chips, again mediocre, but thats not a complaint. The room is full of metal and wood with high ceilings, they have some interesting features to the room, but overall its loud and you cannot hear the music they are playing. Its got somewhat of a sports bar feel with a very large tv (100"??) over the viewing area to the brewery. And about 6 other tvs playing movies and sports. Live music was due to start at 9pm, honestly did not want to stay since nothing about the place had impressed me yet. On the way out, wife saw an arrow for "Arcade". 4 pinball machines, 1 basketball game, and maybe 2 video games tucked into what looked like a non-used coat closet. 4 guys were being anti-social in here. I recommend going here once. They advertise and its popular enough, and you'll only be out 80$ or so dollars for some snacks and beers. read more
