“Amazing beer, outstanding food. The team behind the bar are absolutely top notch. There is no better place to go for some awesome brews and dinner. Definitely WORTH THE TRIP! Ice Cream Man is my absolute recommendation for anyone who enjoys a New England-style juicy IPA!“

“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’ve been going to 2nd Bridge for a few years now and it’s my favorite spot in central CT by far. Not only are the beers delicious, but it’s truly a “Cheers” environment where everyone not only knows your name but also every story you’ve shared before. I highly recommend this pub to anyone who wants a cozy spot that has excellent libations and the finest array of football around.“

“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.“

“great and helpful staff, food and drink is awesome. they make you feel like family. a real important note is they support and are vested in the community. I drive 14 miles past countless other breweries just to support this business.“

“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.“

“There are car cruise events happening throughout the week throughout the warmer months. Cruisers hang out Sunday mornings for Cars & Coffee events and then on Monday nights are car themed nights. There's also open Cruise Night events on Thursday nights when every car is welcome to show up.“

“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.“
