    Hot honey pizza, new park sunset cocktail
    Christine M.

    Breweries typically aren't my thing but this place is so big, bright and inviting. The staff is super attentive and sweet. You can buy their craft, canned drinks to go which was a huge plus especially since it's New Year's Day and all the package stores are closed. BIG YES for me. I tried two of their pies and a few of their cocktails -/ the hot honey and their Brussels and bacon (my fav of the two). I tried their new park sunset cocktail, PHENOMENAL. I also tried their Hanai, a canned drink that you could buy to go, over ice with lime. It's tequila based and it's delicious but the new park sunset cocktail is just one of the best drinks I've ever had. Big thanks to jimmy and everyone else here who gave us grade A service. I'll totally be back

    New Park Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in West Hartford, Connecticut in March 2017. It was founded by business partners John Doyle, Alex Dee and Tom Atkins. Doyle works in the financial services industry, but had wanted to open his own brewery for a number of years. A friend introduced him to Dee: a homebrewer with an education background in biomedical science. Atkins, a huge craft beer fan, came on board for the project after Doyle and Dee started getting serious about opening their own brewery. A logo, business plan, and financing were put together. Although the brand was founded in 2015, it took nearly two years to find the right location. In 2017, New Park opened at The Shops at 485 New Park: a former ball bearings factory turned multi-media venue. New Park's mission is to offer consumers the highest quality beverages and experiences that they possibly can. In recent years, the brewery has also begun producing intervention wines, heirloom cider, and sourdough pizza in addition to their artisanal brews. I first visited New Park Brewing in March 2018, when they had just turned a year old. I was very impressed from that first visit and they quickly became one of my Top 5 favorite Connecticut breweries. I recently visited the taproom for the second time ever. I had heard that they started crafting artisanal sourdough pizza pies in recent years and wanted to try them paired up with their excellent beer. I love the whole industrial design vibe that's going on inside the taproom. Since my initial visit, the brewery has also since added an outdoor biergarten and an indoor private event space with a stage and bar (dubbed "The Green Room"). I started off with a short pour of one of my go-tos: "Cloudscape" (IPA). It's delicious, hazy, and full of citrus and tropical fruit notes. For pizza, I ordered the "Soppressata" (red sauce, fior di latte, mozzarella, soppressata, red onion, goat cheese, honey, grana padano) and the "Chef Special" (pecorino cream, fior di latte, mozzarella, arugula, prosciutto, balsamic glaze, grana padano). To pair with them, I ordered a sampler flight which featured "Little Cloud" (IPA), "Steppe" (Barrel-Aged Saison), "Elmwood" (Dry Cider), and "Double Cloud" (Double IPA). Between the stellar brews and the heavenly pizza, I was in pure bliss! There's a reason why New Park is one of my favorite Connecticut breweries; I hope to be back again and again!

    I had an event at New Park Brewing. Have never been there I was excited to try a new brewery! They have some outdoor seating as well as a spacious indoor seating area and seats at the bar. We, however, were in an event room in the back there were 150 people confirmed to attend I will say the space was a bit tight. I had this and that beer and it was absolutely delicious. The bartender was gracious to help me to determine what I wanted. They served pizza at the event and I have to say it was perfect not too heavy very thin just the way I like it exclamation point I would return just to have a pizza again. Also, they have a fabulous happy hour menu!

    Went for the st Patrick's day event and had a lot of fun. There is plenty of parking, beer list is relatively small but they also have some mixed drinks/ wine too. I really liked the Blender which tasted like a berry sour. Pizza is pretty good. Service is always friendly. It gets a little loud with the stage area being so small with a band performing but usually not too packed. Would definitely return.

    New Park Brewery opened to the public in 2017. When we went on Saturday afternoon, the place was packed, no seating was available. The tap room was spacious with plenty of tables; there weren't any seats at the bar, which I liked. There was room to get drinks, but there was a short, quick moving line. There were plenty of tables and seats outside; only downside, it was cold. The parking lot was large and we found parking easily. They had a wine, cocktail, and draft beer menu; on the draft, aside from beer, they also had cider and barley wine. I really enjoyed the Elmwood Cider, there were two options to choose from, dry and semi-dry; I chose semi dry which had a bit of apple sugar flavor and a little sweeter that the latter. I also had the Cypress Barley wine, it's barrel aged with malt; personally, I did not like that at all, the flavors instantly upset my stomach and made me nauseous. If you're hungry, they have a food menu as well as a happy hour food and drinks menu. We didn't partake in that because we already had dinner before we got there. It's good to know for next time, because I definitely want to go back. I also liked that it's family friendly. Overall, a great brewery with plenty to options for everyone.

    Barrel Room
    Sydney G.

    Just had our wedding here on June 21, 2025! The Barrel Room - We had 31 guests and it was the perfect fit. They also have a bigger room, The Green Room if you have a larger guest count. Planning - Christine + the New Park staff were absolutely amazing! She answered every single question we had, helped us out with those small details, and made every step so easy! Thankfully the venue took care of the tables, chairs, & place settings. We got 2 hours for set up & 1 hour for tear down, and as a DIY bride this was so great! Food - We really wanted a meal that we would enjoy and didn't want traditional "wedding food". We opted for Patty's Pizza catering + stationed hors d'oeuvres from Salt & Pepper Catering. Our guests were obsessed with the pizza and kept talking about it all week. Highly recommend - Veggie, Artichoke, Meatball, Pepperoni, with Caesar Salad. Spring Rolls, Korean BBQ skewers, Pollo Asado Empanada, Nashville Hot Chicken Bites, Beef Barbacoa Empanada. They also have a ton of other options like a pub menu, Gato's Tacos, brunch, buffet, & dessert options. Alcohol - We opted for the Beer, Wine, & Liquor option and it was a hit with our guests. The Blender was a hit even for those who don't usually drink beer! Parking - There was an event the same day as our wedding so the parking was a bit tight but they have parking in the back + street parking. Thankfully we told our guests to use ride-share so they could enjoy the open bar! Decor - The Barrel Room was already so cute we really didn't need much extra decor. From cute pink palm tree wall to the barrels with plants everywhere, it was stunning. We were able to pick the table and place setting arrangements and napkin colors. We also got to use their arch which added a great addition to the ceremony space. Music - I am such a music girly that I really wanted my exact playlists playing. They provided this speaker + mic that worked perfectly for our needs. I created several playlists on Spotify that we used all night and plugged in our IPad. Our guests had a blast and so glad we opted to go this route. Happy to share my playlists, if you are interested! Dog Friendly - Another requirement we had for our wedding was to have our pup attend. There was plenty of room for us to have him there and be a part of the ceremony while also having his own space to relax during the rest of the wedding. Things to Know - If you are having your ceremony in this room, they don't really have a place to "hide" before your guests arrive. We really wanted to spend a lot of time with our guests so we both were in the room as everyone arrived. If they didn't have the event the same day, they offered for us to hide in the green room. Overall - We really wanted an all inclusive type venue that was within our budget. Our main priorities were food, drinks, and overall guest experience. If you are having an intimate wedding where you want to have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and rehearsal dinner all in one space, this is the place for you! I'm sure this would also be great for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner! Or look into The Green Room if you have a larger guest count!

    Made my second visit to New Park recently and it made me wish I lived closer to West Hartford! Inside is a big open space with picnic tables and some bar seating. Outside also had plenty of space but I ended up staying inside. The servers were attentive and friendly. Like most brewpubs it's an "order at the bar and they bring it to your table kind of place." I tried 4 styles of beer while in the taproom and they were all really well crafted. I had their hazy NEIPAs before and knew they were good but what was the most impressive to me was that their barrel aged sours and stouts were also top notch. I had a peach wild and a hazelnut BA stout that were up there with the big boys of brewing. They also have fruited Berliners (blender series) that are as good as any fruited beers you can get around these parts. Sadly, after a long day on the road I was so eager to eat that I never snapped any pictures of the food. We had wings, meatballs, Caesar salad and pepperoni pie and it was all fantastic! I was admittedly pretty reluctant to get a meatball at a brewery but threw caution to the wind and was pleasantly surprised. It was 2 large meatballs that tasted fresh with a nice pomodoro sauce. My wife and daughter split the Caesar and said it was really good. Wings were crispy and the pizza was cooked perfectly as evidenced by the pepperoni taking on that nice cup shape. Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to getting back there sometime soon!

    Came to New Park for some brews and a snack. I like the location, old antique looking inside with small patio for nicer weather. I've had their beer many times. They have many different styles, I prefer their IPAs, Double Cloud and Cloudscape. They also usually have a rotating blender on tap which is their Berliner, always a hit. For food we got the Chili Honey wings and the French fries which were seasoned with Parmesan, rosemary and garlic. Fries were the highlight and were so good! Great seasoning and crunch, perfect to pair with beer. Wings were about average, wish the chili honey had some more heat.

    Okay New Park, I see you with the surprisingly fantastic beer. Who knew?! I tried New Park years ago and thought it was good but they've stepped up their beer game. A new go-to for cans and hanging out.

    Ferrous Sumatra coffee stout
    Bill Z.

    This is a welcoming and comfortable brewery with enough of a variety to satisfy everyone. Pours are generally 8 and 12 oz., and flights are available. The decor is fun. I had to have the Ferrous Sumatra if only for the name but also for the great taste. We had meal plans elsewhere, otherwise I would have definitely ordered pizza. The pies looked and smelled wonderful. They can accommodate good-sized groups here, and this would definitely be a place I would want to bring a group for food and drink.

    People at this brewery were pretty cool, and that must be a bad way to start this review since I am not talking about the beer. Well, the beer was good but not 5 star good. The people though... very helpful and friendly, actually, thinking back to people in Connecticut, they were all very friendly and helpful, except for that b@tch in downtown Hartford who almost ram my rental after I didn't buy some stolen airpods she wanted to push on me. One crazy b@tch out of a thousand good people, I'll take the 999 and be like "Bye Felicia!". Anyway, beer is good, place is quiet and cool, staff is super fun, this has to be your first stop if visiting Hartford.

    Definitely worth a visit if in the Haven area. The tasting room and outside seating are large and they do offer food which is helpful if you wish to stay awhile. The tasting menu rotates with their current offerings. They have a great variety of IPAs (hazy and west coast) and also several sours. Only sad issue is they don't offer single cans or mixed 4 packs. Makes it difficult for visitors to try several especially for those not currently on draft. The beertenders correctly directed me to nearby Harvest Wine and spirits that carries singles of several of their offerings.

    New Park Brewing is the single biggest reason why I stopped driving to Charlton, Massachusetts. They have tremendous IPA's and doubles like Cloudscape, Double Cloud, Wavelength and Headband. In addition, New Park's Blender Series put me on the trailhead of the right path to appreciation of fruit sours. Still getting there. New Park's craft beers might not be my absolute favorite, but they're pretty close. When you factor in the drive time for similar New England craft beer alternatives, I regularly choose New Park as the best option. Many more knowledgeable craft beer nerds than I feel the same. In this regard, New Park Brewing has single-handedly driven down statewide carbon emissions .0003%. Possibly true story. I buy cans to go from New Park, and I've also had good times with friends on the New Park grounds. I still laugh remembering when my friends and I shared a large table with a woman who was flabbergasted and almost got whiplash when my friend said he hates "Hamilton" the musical. Talk about an unpopular hot take. I never had laughs like that in the West Hartford Design District before New Park Brewing. New Park is a phenomenal asset to the Greater Hartford area. Five Stars

    Ask the Community - New Park Brewing

    Is outside food allowed here?

    Do you sell ciders or wine?

    No, but you've got to try their fruity Blender series; the next best thing to Cider. Lower ABV, sweet tones, smooth and a mild froth off the tap.

    So are dogs welcome or not? Because there's one review saying yes and another saying they got asked to leave because they had a dog.

    I was just here on 3/2 and there was a large dog inside and another smaller one came in later. Nobody asked the guy next to me to leave for the hour we were there.

Bring some snacks or some accoutrements and stop just a little ways away at Cato Corner and build yourself a spectacular cheese board. Despite often being busy, pours are usually quick, and the folks putting together to-go can orders are lightning fast! I feel like I barely have to mention the beer because their name speaks for itself at this point, but yes the beer is amazing. Everything from lagers to IPAs to sours to stouts and everything in between are fabulous. In particular, if a stout or a farmhouse or sour with adjuncts sounds interesting to you, definitely don't sleep on it! It will certainly be good. They do have only one parking space that's designated accessible. It's available more often than not, but just a note. The bathrooms are very large and accessible. Inside, the majority of seating is upstairs, so if you can't do stairs just be aware.

The beertender, graciously and without prompt went over beers enthusiastically. He described what was new what was on cask and gravity. I tried a good amount of different beers and they were all delicious and balance and never over the top per usual. Also tried the witch meadow was on the boozy end for me.
