Nice beer and food menu. In downtown core within walking distance from most hotels. Very large so wait time is short. More

My husband and I invited some friends to join us at City Steam Brewery and see the comedy show in the Brew Ha Ha section downstairs. The food was very overpriced for what you recieved. It was only a small step above fast food. The downstairs was missing some ceiling tiles and was dingy. The comedy show was so loud... More

Hi MKT- My name is Conor and I am the Comedy Club manager for the Brew HaHa at City Steam. I'm sorry to hear the show was disappointing when you were in here last. I have a couple questions if you could help me out so that we can do better next time. You felt our food was just a... More

City Steam is a great destination if you are in the city to attend an event. The atmosphere is energizing, staff is friendly and efficient and food is good. The pool tables and games in the back room, when available, is fun for kids and grown-ups alike. More

My husband and I try to stop at City Steam whenever we are in the Hartford area. The beer is outstanding; all five I sampled in my flight were excellent--a wide variety of styles. The food is also quite good. There is an outdoor seating area decorated with hanging plants which is very nice in warmer weather. Definitely worth a... More

You can try different beers in a flight or have your favorite pint. Good location, right next to the Residence Inn. The server brought out nachos instead of my quesadilla, but offered to give us the nachos for free while the quesadilla cooked. I appreciated that and though both dishes were pretty good. This was a late night snack. I... More
