Connecticut Taproom Partners
A New Type of Taproom
While many breweries and taprooms are shifting away from food service, often relying on food trucks to fill the void, Surfridge owners Jen & Steve Lieberman had a different idea for their Connecticut location. Their idea was to combine some of their favorite items into one concept: Craft Beer + Raw Bar.
This idea ballooned into adding a custom-built wood oven on site to offer hot pizza and other hot items. From there a unique and creative menu was born built on the following concepts:
- Local Ingredients
- Fresh Ingredients
- High-Flavor Dishes
Local Partnerships Key to Success

My husband and I were visiting Connecticut and showed up at this brewery before they opened. We were sitting at their outside patio and the owner, Steve, came out and greeted us and let us in to have a beer! Steve chatted with us at the bar and told us his story while opening up for the day, such an incredible guy!!! Beer was great and the inside atmosphere is decorated so cool with plenty of space and seating. Highly recommend!!!

This place was awesome! The ambiance is definitely on point. They have many options for seating including a nice outdoor area. We didn’t get the food, but the menu sounded delish. The beers were really good. I had “we used to be friends” and tasted a few others - all very good. Johnny our server was super cool, very attentive and informative on the beer selection. Definitely do not skip this place!

My family and I headed to Surfridge after a nice day enjoying the Essex railroad. We hadn't eaten all day and were ready to EAT! Our waiter Alex was very attentive. We ordered quite a variety of things to try because everything on the menu sounded so good, and it was! The short rib and meatball pizzas were so tasty with a thin crust that is our favorite. Don't hesitate to try the smoked fish dip, wings or Brussel sprouts. My husband had a stout that he enjoyed and the rest of us had delicious cocktails. We live about an hour away but won't hesitate to come back to enjoy more of the beers and goodness from the menu.

Excellent food, great portion sizes and fun atmosphere. Great for our family with three kids, who colored, read books and enjoyed the food! The tiramisu impressed and surprised us the most. The green pesto short rib pizza was so delicious, I’ll be trying to recreate at home.

Enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere, the waitress (Olivia) was a sweetheart and very attentive. The watermelon salad was unique and delicious. Thin crust pizza was really good. I could see this place becoming a favorite haunt. [All I would change is to add coffee to the menu.]

Excellent summer ambience on the patio. Get a patio table on a nice day if you can. Our server Olivia was outstanding and very responsive. Wait time for everything was minimal. Highly recommend for a laid back place to grab good beer and a bite to eat! Would definitely revisit.

A rare treat to have an excellent brewery and restaurant in one location. Indoor and outdoor dining options lets us change up the experience seasonally. A limited menu but they execute well on everything they serve and seasonal changes keeps it interesting. A frequent dining spot for us.
