“I remember this spot more from when Broad Brook Brewery used to be here, however, upon hearing the news of new management taking over in 2025, I felt inclined to give this place a try. I don't live in town anymore, but I was pleasantly surprised by their selection of beer, wine, and hard cider/seltzer, and they have a nice to-go fridge if you don't want to sit at the bar - but what really set this place apart was how friendly and knowledgeable the staff is! They're really eager to grow their business, and in a time where it feels like everything is shrinking away, I appreciate a comfortable place to hang out with a friend or grab a drink for later. I try to stop in every so often when I'm visiting family, it's a nice place!“

“It’s a great place to gather people together.“

“I have been there for the live musicians. Always great“

“We finally made it!! What took us so long, I don’t know!! Awesome ?? service and I loved everything! Thank you for having the best vegan and vegetarian options around!!! See you ?!! I almost forgot the beer ? ??!!! I promise, I’m not the driver.“

“Urban Lodge Brewing on Pratt Street is a great place to enjoy quality beer and a lively atmosphere. Their IPA is really good—smooth, well balanced, and full of flavor—and the overall beer selection is solid. It’s also an excellent spot to watch UConn basketball, with plenty of energy and excitement during games.

It can get a bit crowded, especially during game times, but that really speaks to how popular the place is. Even when it’s busy, the vibe stays fun and welcoming, and the staff do a great job keeping things moving. The crowd, good beer, and game-day atmosphere make Urban Lodge Brewing a place I’d happily return to.“
