Editorial Review for City Steam Brewery – by Sana Butler
The Scene
Question: What's better than watching the big game at home enjoying a beer? Answer: 30 different microbrews, 11 televisions, and ribs, wings, poppers and skins. With cast-iron railings and millwork salvaged from the original 1877 building, this multilevel brewery has a chic look and great beer. Come for the Brew Ha Ha Comedy Club on weekends or relax on the balcony with your favorite cigars and after-dinner drinks.
The Food
Beer is the main attraction, advertised by the five fermenting tanks in the front window, but there's a great food too. House specialties like potato-crusted fresh sea bass bring gourmet class to a menu of American favorites. Hot and cold sandwiches, wraps and pizzas tempt along with decadent desserts like hand-cranked ice cream. The eight-ounce patty of char-grilled Black Angus beef topped with lettuce, tomato and cheddar or grilled portobello mushrooms and mozzerella is one of the city's best burgers.

I had the opportunity to vist Hartford Steam in between games at the XL Centr for a meal with friends They were understaffed for some reason and had to turn away dozens of diners but that is not my main gripe. We had reservations and were quickly seated and provided with beverage. We had simple requests, a burger and two chicken sandwiches. We waited for almost a half hour to be served and the food was next to cold and very dry as if the plates were sitting somewhere before the depleted wait staff was able to bring it to our table. We will not be visiting Hartford Steam for our next dining experience and do not recommend this place for a pleasant dining experience.

This was a place that was recommended by our hotel staff. My husband is a beer drinker, me not so much, but I really enjoyed having lunch here. Being from another state, we had no idea where to eat. After a long plane ride this really place was the perfect spot to unwind. The food was incredible, the service was good and the place was clean! We each had a beer - he had the Naughty Nurse and I had something "Russian"? . . . both were very good. I would recommend this to anyone.
Pros: Food, drinks and service - the patio is nice for a late lunch
Cons: parking
