The Eel Pot - Branford

Wow! What a find. This lovely brewery is multi-floored, indoor and outdoor and on a river. We sat outside in Adirondack chairs. You purchase your beverage indoors (on this day, 6/28/2024 apx 1:00 pm). Food is totally different (see website). The menu has options for everyone and I can say that the bacon cheeseburger with fresh jalapeños was incredibly tasty, fries were great, and the pretzel bites were fresh and soft, but the cheese needs work. Seems chemical forward and not true cheese at all and only reason it's not a five star rating. Service was A+. Ambiance open and beautiful inside or out. Pets are welcome, they have a nice pup area as you walk in but we saw one inside so assuming ok. Go with confidence as we will be back soon.

Stopped by after exploring the Thimble islands. Super cool vibes! Large and spacious--the upstairs was reserved for an event so we didn't get to see that portion but that didn't matter! There was corn hole outside, food trucks, and overall a great vibe. Wished we lived closer!

Based on location alone, this place would deserve 6 stars! It's right on the water and the ambiance was lovely. The beer on the other hand left something to be desired... not only was it overpriced, but the selection was extremely limited and somewhat uninspired. I usually go for sour beers when I go to breweries, but had to opt for an ipa and a lager as there weren't many options. The beer was okay, but definitely not worth the price tag compared to others I've had. I was also disspointed to see all 3 of the to-go coolers were empty as we were hoping to get some beers for a picnic. My husband and I enjoyed the bbq chicken pizza from the food truck. I thought the price was fair at $18 for a pie that serves two, but our friends found it to be a bit steep and ended up getting food elsewhere. This place could be amazing with a few changes!! The location truly can't be beat.

Don't go here! We arrived around 7:10pm for a beer and sat down for food- ordered through the ordering system and an hour later no food! They refunded for the lobster roll because they ran out of lobster an hour ago and the pretzel bites never showed up- kitchen closed. No service no food nothing- just the worst

Fun night out with friends at Drag Queen Bingo at Stony Creek! The theme cocktails were fun and, as usual the beer was tasty. We had a nice server help us snag a table when he noticed we didn't have one so two thumbs up to their staff for their attentiveness and for going the extra mile. Also the Naples pizza truck was quite tasty too! I only wish this event were better organized. It was hard to hear in some parts of the brewery so the bingo cards were unusable at times.
