HEARD AT THE BAR

I recently attended the Mocktail Dinner at Surfridge Brewing Company. From the moment our party walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, bartender, and general manager, who were all incredibly kind and attentive. Their hospitality truly set the tone for the evening. Our dinner was thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. I would say the pumpkin soup was definitely a hit as well as the end of the meal dessert (a delicious goat cheese cheesecake). The mocktail selection was equally impressive, offering unique and creative options that complemented the meal perfectly. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into every aspect of the event. The service was top-notch throughout the evening. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an enjoyable night. I’ll definitely be back for future events!
We attended the mocktail dinner at Surfridge brewery this weekend. The five course meal each paired with a mocktail was delicious and creative. Our host Alex took time to explain each course and we truly appreciated the artistry involved. We would definitely do this one again!Bill FarrellKaren Bachand
Written by my wife Cara…I reached out to Surfridge to host a small surprise party for my husband. Alex responded immediately & helped me make the occasion really special. Many thanks to the entire amazing staff - always a great place to go and never disappoints.
Suffridge Brewery is a true gem for food and beer lovers alike. Their meatballs are tender, flavorful, and unforgettable, while the wood-fired pizza is perfectly crisp, cheesy, and loaded with fresh toppings. Pair it all with their signature IPA, a perfectly balanced brew with a hoppy kick and a smooth finish. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening, this spot has all the ingredients for a great time!
Walked over to surfridge after our North Pole express ride today. They do not take reservations this time of year. We had a group of 16, which became a group of 20. They were very accommodating in getting us set up. We had 10 adults and 10 children 8yo and under- who’d just been given cookies and hot cocoa, so we were a fairly chaotic group. The staff were kind and patient. The food was excellent which led to us ordering a few additional rounds of food for the kids- which they ensured came out quickly and smoothly. Cookies with the kids meals are a nice touch! Everyone enjoyed the beer. Would love to come back in warmer weather and take advantage of the outside space as well.Thank you for a great end to a busy day! Your kindness was appreciated.
They were very busy due to a local train attraction, but they have their act together! We were seated promptly, server came quickly - and so did the beer. Would love to go back soon.
Great pizza. We stopped in for dinner after the Essex North Pole Train. Definitely family friendly.
Best wings I’ve ever had
