Huge space with good drinks, but undecided vibes
Elicit Brewing Co - Manchester的点评
点评:This interesting brewery, housed in a former mill and shuttered restaurant, is trying to be several things at once and can't decide which one it wants to be. Spread out over two large floors, the bottom floor is more of a standard brewery, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (including comfortable couches) that keep the converted-mill look. They have an extensive drinks menu, which can be initially overwhelming, but the barista helped us decide what to order. We also ordered waffle fries and the Philly egg rolls, both of which were good. I noticed that people in their later 20s/30s were either playing games outside or sitting inside to have food and talk. Upstairs was more of a nightclub, with loud music and club dancing, and was crammed with people in their early-mid 20s. I think this brewery was trying to utilize the large space as thoroughly as possible, but it made for a disjointed experience - I enjoy each atmosphere separately, but for some reason it didn't quite meld together cohesively at this place. I wish they'd had a larger games section like some other breweries do, especially since they have a large couch seating area. On the plus side, there's plenty of parking.
翻译:这家有趣的啤酒厂位于一座前磨坊和关闭的餐厅内,它正试图同时做几件事,但无法决定它想成为哪一个。分布在两个大楼层,底层更像是一个标准的啤酒厂,有大量的室内和室外座位(包括舒适的沙发),保持了改建后的磨坊外观。他们有丰富的饮品菜单,一开始可能让人不知所措,但咖啡师帮助我们决定点什么。我们还点了华夫饼薯条和费城蛋卷,两者都很好。我注意到 20 多岁/30 多岁的人们要么在外面玩游戏,要么坐在里面吃饭聊天。楼上更像是一家夜总会,音乐喧闹,俱乐部跳舞,挤满了 20 多岁的年轻人。我认为这家啤酒厂试图尽可能彻底地利用大空间,但它带来了一种脱节的体验——我分别享受每一种氛围,但出于某种原因,它并没有在这个地方完全融合在一起。我希望他们能像其他一些啤酒厂一样拥有更大的游戏区,尤其是因为他们有一个大沙发座位区。从好的方面来说,这里有充足的停车位。
