The brewery will have the typical beer-hall style area, game cove / arcade, a speak-easy cocktail lounge, a space called The Pub, a space called The Snugs, a space called the Tap-Hall, and a large outdoor patio.

The brewery will occupy over 25,000 square feet that was once home to Planet Fitness and Tumble Jungle (later Playhouse Gym.) Look for them to open next year!

Drink Mechanics will be opening a location in Hartford! The canned cocktail brand will be opening a distillery/tasting room/bar inside Statehouse Square! The bar will feature a full bar, restaurant, and live music according to a statement on their website.

The new business willl occupy the 8,000 square foot former Morton's The Steakhouse, which closed in 2015. No timeline has been announced for the business, though demolition work on the former steakhouse has started.

Drink Mechanics started in 2020 with an ice cream truck, a catering license, and liquor delivery becoming legal! The brand created cocktails in a can, featuring flavors like Strawberry Fields, Christopher Oaxacan, Spa Water, Love It When Ya Call Me Big Papaya, and Bourbon Legend.
