Surfridge East

Centerbrook, Connecticut

Surfridge East is a taproom and eatery nestled in the beautiful Witch Hazel Works property in Centerbrook, Connecticut. With a 10-barrel copper and brass system and a natural, airy vibe, the space reflects the connection between timeless New England sophistication with California roots.

Fresh brews, wood-fired pizzas, and local oysters are just a few of the delicious items offered at the cozy taproom. Our space is family-friendly, great for small or large groups, and our patio in the summer makes for a great place to have a pint with your pup. We also offer hand-crafted cocktails and Jonathan Edwards Winery wine.

Our mural by the talented Trek6, captures our tribute to the whales that have been a part of the rich history in Connecticut, as well as blue butterflies that have an interesting origin story with Surfridge.

HEARD AT THE BAR

Excellent

Andy M.

If you’re reading these reviews, come here. Went on the steam train with my boys and stopped by here after. Great beers, great menu. Real gem. If I lived closer I would be here every weekend

Victoria

Great beers food and patio; traveling through on vacation and brought our kids here and had a great time. Had pizza, oysters and they brought kids cookies that were hot from oven and delicious. Alex made our night very friendly service.

Edward V.

Great location, awesome staff, great beer, great food! They were able to take a last minute reservation for 30ppl and accommodated us no problems. Very grateful and impressed with their service!

Paul B.

Nice vibe with beer, bar and food. We had meatballs and a unique chick pea sandwich that were both quite good. Beer I tried a line Kolsch, kind of a sour, very refreshing!

Sarah F.

We had our wedding at Surfridge Brewing, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Alex and his team went above and beyond in every possible way—they truly exceeded our expectations.

This was more than just great service; they were the nicest, most attentive, and intentional brewery staff we've ever encountered. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and their genuine care for making our day special really shined through.

The food? Hands down the most delicious brewery food we’ve ever had—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. And the cocktails were curated to perfection, with each one crafted with care and creativity. Our guests are still raving about everything from the bites to the drinks to the atmosphere.

If you're considering Surfridge for any event—or even just stopping by for a drink—you’ll be met with warmth, professionalism, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. We can't recommend them highly enough!
