I've always liked back east brews on tap at local CT restaurants so when my friends wanted to meet…read moreup at the actual brewery I was so excited! Upon entering there are various types of seating from patio to indoor to private areas for parties. I really liked the QR code method to buy food made in house. I can say I was very impressed with my steak tacos! Such a perk at a brewery! When ordering a brew I was a bit disappointed I couldn't get a flight but they did offer smaller glasses to taste multiple brews. Icecream man is always a fan favorite and a classic so I opted for that. But my friend got their icecream man topped with a berry beer and she loved it! I'd love to come back and try their seltzers and other fun drinks!

I was in the area for business. My only regret is we waited until the last night we were in town to…read morecheck this place out. We didn't try the food but based on their beer quality, the food would be equally epic. Generally when you stop into a brewery you'll try a few beers and find one or two you like. This place, I enjoyed all of the beers we sampled! Big open seating area, plenty of inside and outside seating. Nintendo, foosball, and board games to play inside. Looked like they have some live music at times as well. The staff was great! Very knowledgeable about the beers and willing to help you decide on a choice.

Dudleytown is the best place around for a drink after work. Right near several business parks, its…read morenot uncommon to run into colleagues. They have several sours, seltzer & a smoothie beer for people like me who are not the biggest beer drinkers. I love coming in the fall and sitting by the fire outside. Last night, a jam band was playing and the vibes were very chill. The burgers are very good, pizza fresh out of the huge log-oven in the back. I would reccomend Dudleytown to anyone looking for a place to check out. You can sit at the bar, the restaurant, or seat yourself at the copious tables indoors & out. Thank you to the bar staff last night for letting me sample so many drinks! They're the best!

On one side of the brewery is the bar where you can order drinks and on the opposite of the brewery is another area where you can order food ( which was a little weird, they give you a pager to let you know when the food is ready and you can go pick it up ) The bar tender was super nice I normally don't drink or like beer however they had so many options here . I tried the smoothie beer which was really good ! I also preferred the pretzel which is my fav thing to order at a brewery which was also really good . Overall great atmosphere , nice and helpful staff in the bar area and great bear options even for people who may not like beer ( like myself )

Talk to the bar tenders, the ones I've chatted with have been super nice and they know what they're serving. There's a very cool vibe from the old industrial building and the decor is funky cool.

I loved the aesthetic of the two rooms we were in. Although the decorations were brought by the party for the event, you could still tell the space had great bones. I loved the hanging pothos from the ceiling rods. The food was delicious, although a bit run of the mill. I did not drink but I heard others raving about the selection of beer. I'd definitely come back in the warm weather and see what it's about on a casual day.

Review #900: This…read moreplace looks and feels like a ski lodge nestled on the foothills of Talcott Mountain State Park. The Hublein Tower can be seen clearly. We went on a Saturday (February) afternoon and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. They were playing reggae music, the fire was going, beers/cider/wine were flowing; a fun and chill afternoon. They offer so many beers from all different breweries! I didn't really know what to expect before going and this place was on my "to check out" list. I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy they were kid friendly because we brought our two little ones. I saw some people eating pretzels and we got some delicious buttered popcorn to snack on. The kitchen offers wings, chips/salsas, lobster rolls, bratwurst/kielbasa, burgers, etc. They have food trucks onsite, but when we were there (early afternoon) I didn't see one yet. I can't wait to go back during the summer/fall because their yard looked fantastic. They had a small stage, picnic tables, and fire pits. For recreation, they have disc golf, Cornhole, etc. In the summer, they also serve ice cream. This place will definitely be one of my go to spots to chill!

The food trucks are insanely expensive. $15 cover charge and then $40 for the small fish and chips and $55 for the large. From a truck? No way! We ordered food indoors.

Our hosts were regulars and the staff was familiar to them. The descriptions of all the highlights of the specials as well as the main menu items made them all sound delicious and I will attest, they certainly were. Their warm house baked breads with soft butter started us well. I took the prix fixe special of the night and I could not have been happier. The scallops were numerous, the specialty gazpacho so filling, I only ate half, the tagliatelle was perfect. The grilled artichokes are a fave for me. I gave the ice cream from my cinnamon roll a la mode to my husband so it worked out well for both of us. All of us loved our food and the experience. But we were so talkative, I never got pics of their meals or any of our drinks. My husband loved his beer, my cousin her wine, her husband his drink. I would certainly eat there again when in the area.

We now can't wait to go back again. Definitely going to be a new weekend spot when we want casual hangouts.
