This place was so cozy on the inside, decorated nicely with large spaces and plenty of seating. The beer was a wonderful selection and very good too. However, the bar service was not attentive to who was waiting and seemed to prefer serving people they knew over other patrons. Additionally, do not come here hungry!!!!!! The food is extremely overpriced for the crumbs they serve you. $15 for what’s pictured below, example of my “little clucker” chicken sliders. The single bite of chicken was pitiful compared to the size of the bun and excessive lettuce. I should have also taken a picture of the bun left after two bites of all the chicken served. More than half the bun was left over. I had even asked for mine to be made without pickles, my order was repeated back to me confirming no pickles, and of course, there were pickles on my food. It took another good 10-15 minutes for my new order when it’s literally just one tender cut in three. The staff member even said “oh well comp you another on us” as if they were doing me a favor instead of simply remaking my meal to correct THEIR mistake. Very strange encounters with the staff all around.

Connecticut has its share of breweries but this one has more than just their own beer. Tried the porter and an IPA at the upstairs bar where cocktails are also served. Great tasting beer and lively atmosphere. Food is also available on the first level. Love the transformation of mid 1800s mill buildings into a space like this. Event space available, plenty of parking. Easy on and off from i84.

We recently hosted an event at Elicit Brewing in Manchester, and it was a great experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and the event space had a great atmosphere that was perfect for our group.

Highly recommend Elicit Brewing for anyone looking to host an event or to just enjoy a great night out. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time at this brewery! The food was absolutely delicious, and even my husband, who is very particular about his beer, was impressed with their selection. I don’t drink alcohol, but their mocktails were just as thoughtfully crafted and tasted amazing. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and great food—highly recommend!

Maybe this place would be better in the summer? Obnoxiously load inside with the brick walls and volted ceilings. Couldn't talk to my date at all. It really only takes 1 group to be excited for sound to overwhelming. Seems extremely family friendly, too family for a brewery. They should rename to elicit family restaurant. Margaritas came out of a tap, warning to anyone allergy to preservatives. I guess I should have expected that out if a brewery. Maybe a less popular cocktail would have been hand poured. The only good part of my time there was the food. Great dessert options.

Great place to go for a night out with some friends or on a date. The staff are usually very friendly and helpful, the food is pretty good for the price, the atmosphere is varying depending on where you are in the building. The front of the building after going inside has a nice lounge area with lots of comfy couches and a little arcade area tucked one of the corners, the main "cafeteria" style area of the building is in the center where they host bands and play popular sports on the big tvs. The outdoor area is a bit more laid back with fire pits and patio furniture and corn hole available to play. Then there's the upstairs section that feels somewhat like a night club with decent dance music and some pretty good vibes. All in all I would recommend Elicit for a good night out 👌

Had such an amazing time and loved the band Sunset Drive. Danced with people I don't even know and sang at the top of my lungs so fun. They played excellent music, songs we all know and love. The whole crowd had a blast and really added to the fun atmosphere. Highly recommend Elicit and the band Sunset Drive.
