Visited this spot for the first time recently for a election watch gathering.
Location is pretty easy to get to and has a large parking lot.
There is an outdoor seating area and patio for nice weather beering.
Walking into the tap room area reveals a large open rectangle area. Lots of table and chair combos with some stools around the edge of the place with shelf countertops. The bar is kind of small for the space with about 8 seats. The space is kind of loud and echoy, which I thought made conversations a little tough in a large crowd.
Decor is exposed HVAC and light fixtures, felt sort of standard brewpub IMO.
Beer lists are floating around and there is about 16 draft lines. All Hooker beers with one or two that appear to be from the pilot system on premise.
Looks like everything you could ask for with Old Marley being my choice for the day. The ThiccAF is also available and Munsons collab stout. Also cans are available, for all beers that are normally canned. Growlers are also available and you dont have to use Hooker brand to get a fill.
There is a short food menu, but be warned it is only one side of the choices if it is on a Saturday or Sunday.
Menu is mostly lighter fare with flatbreads, hummus plate and some soups being available.
Staff seem knowledgeable and helpful with food choices when I failed at ordering from the correct side of the menu.
Overall its a pretty cool looking spot and the beer selection is pretty extensive. A good addition to the beer scene in Hartford.
