Elicit Brewing Co - Manchester

I rented the Brewer's Loft for a birthday event. Overall it was great and I appreciate the staff for making it a success. The room was very nicely decorated (x-mas, as the event was in December), and it was great to be able to access the TV to run a slideshow.
The food was very good, maybe with the exception of the meatballs, which had a bit of a strange texture, but there was plenty, and our event coordinator Lindsey's recommendations for amounts were very helpful.
The food was brought out promptly, and someone frequently came through to make sure that dishes were cleared, I really didn't have to worry about a thing. Would definitely recommend for the relaxed atmosphere.

It is the perfect venue for my 20th high school reunion. Lindsay was so phenomenal to work with organizing and planning the evening. The service is impeccable, and Elicit is the perfect space for an event like this!

We had a very nice experience celebrating a special birthday for my husband. My only recommendation would be to let your customers know that a credit card is necessary up front in case someone other than the host is arriving early to set up before the event.

Awful experience!!!!!! I asked for a sample of beer and the woman at the counter rolled her eyes at me. I understand everyone behind the bar might be stressed out if it’s busy… but that’s completely uncalled for. I wasn’t asking for much. Unbelievable experience and Im not sure I’ll be back.

High priced. Staff will throw you out without warning.

I was grabbed aggressively by one of the bouncers when exiting the building. After spending $9 on a seltzer and tipping an additional $3. I had few sips left and understood that they don’t allow outside beverages. I stood in the corner of the room trying to finish my drink as staff was clearing people out and was grabbed in the arm and told I have 5 seconds to get out. Then my seltzer was ripped out of my hand and thrown in the trash. If you’re going to spend your money on beverages (that you’d like to drink and enjoy) I would not recommend this place. I also work in the restaurant industry and I understand the point of we are closed… maybe do a last call? So costumers know they need to finish the beverage they payed for by a certain time. This isn’t the first time a bouncer has been extremely aggressive. Hands should stay off of your costumers unless they are a threat of some sort. Needless to say I will not be visiting and spending my money there again. It’s a bummer because the place has a lot of potential. But as a young female I don’t feel it’s a safe environment.

first time there, great selection of beer, great prices and fun atmosphere. Only thing I would suggest is put regular croutons on the Caesar salad and not the pretzel ends, they were very hard and seemed stale.

Found a bug in our sandwich, went to tell the workers. Manager told us that instead of refunding our original order she would just not charge us for another one. Barely apologized for it too. Worker was much nicer about it. Not very happy :/

My daughter took me to this place, Pizza overpriced and expecting bigger size for what I paid. Wings were raw. Services was not adecuated, if you not consuming alcohol doesn't mean you lack your customer service and that how you earn tips. I been working over 23 years in hospitality, my advice. Places is beautiful.

Several dozen beers on tap, always a few hard ciders on tap, wine, mixed drinks, mocktails. Temperature was comfortable at low 70’s inside in summer. Everyone on service team always seems happy and friendly. Food is always good. Gluten free taco tortillas and burger buns. Vegan falafel tacos. The only downside is the main room can get loud and bright lights if that bothers you.

Just upgraded from 1 star to 3. My recent visit went better: despite it being a busy Friday night, there was no cover when I arrived after 8pm. What raised the bar for me? A better than average selection of non-alcoholic beers, and a well-staffed bar. Like, no crowd waiting to order, just a few folks to take turns with. Chicken bites from the kitchen were OK, but very convenient to order using my phone. I also appreciate it's not THAT loud considering how many people were there. I'll be coming back to give this another chance.

Original review: Heard great things but I never walked in. Staff at the door didn’t permit a water bottle so I brought it back to my car. I come back and then they tell me there’s a cover and it’s cash only. Nothing on the website indicates this including the live performance details. I would have paid by card but I’m not carrying cash for a place like this. The staff weren’t rude but they weren’t nice either. My friends inside headed out immediately and we found another great spot with live music and no cover.

Plenty of beers on tap live music and cornhole in the back patio. Inside there are lots of tvs for sports watching and upstairs there's a club sort of setting.
