This place is absolute perfection. Try the Burrata BLT and tell me it’s not the best BLT in Connecticut! I’ll fight you if you say it isn’t! The staff is super chill and they keep giving me beer which is a huge win for me! Chris knows what he’s doing brewing some really kick ass beer! Rachel is cool I guess, but her dog is waaay cooler! All I can say is that I’m glad Broken Symmetry is walking distance from my house, try them out and you’ll be glad you did!

Bday Brunch! Food was 🔥Service was friendly and attentive! They do charge a $2 fee pp for a 🎂 cutting. If I had 1 complaint, felt a little "boxed in" with a party of 7, but we made it work! If it was nicer outside, I'm sure there would've been more room. It was GREAT!!

Broken Symmetry has always been one of my favorite spots in town and I always look forward to going! Not only does Chris brew state-of-the-art beers, but I am a big fan of their rotating menus (especially those desserts, eyeball those!!), welcoming/accommodating staff, and the family-friendly and community based center of town. I am always in awe with the variety of events they always host (book clubs, plant nights, big bands, etc), so I always feel like there’s everything for everyone! If you are looking for the place in town for everyone to gather, drink good beers, and be a family - Broken’s where it’s at!!

Broken Symmetry is one of our favorite places to perform! The food is outstanding, and the menu is always top notch, with creative new items rotating in every week. The staff is consistently professional, friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which makes everything feel easy and enjoyable. There’s such a great energy there and honestly, there’s really nothing else like this place. We’re always grateful to be there!

We hosted a private wedding event here and the staff really went above and beyond for us. The space looked lovely, the food was continually refreshed, they thought of many things during the planning process that we had not considered (Rachel is a rockstar event planner). We had 40 people in the restaurant during a snow storm and they stayed open, professional, and in good humor for us the whole time. We had a couple dietary restrictions pop up during the event and they accommodated everyone right away. They also set up a pickle fountain for me, a real dream come true. Our guests had a lovely time. 10/10 would get married here again.

Been here many times. What separates Broken Symmetry from many other breweries is not only do they have EXCELLENT beer - but the food is outrageously good! As a perfect example: how do you reinvent the BLT? You add Burrata and truffle balsamic to some very fantastic bacon and perfectly grilled bread. Be careful when you bite into this - your eyes will roll up into your head in pure ecstasy! Paired this with Warp Core. BRAVO guys! Another epic gastro fest!!

My family stopped here on our way home to the Lehigh Valley from Boston. This brewpub wasn’t far off the beaten path and had decent crowd for a Sunday. Our server was friendly and gave us some good recommendations on beer and food. The counterparts on also recommend a beer to take home, which I did. The food was fantastic. I ordered a peach salad special and my wife had a smash burger with onion rings. Others in our party ordered the smash burger and there were no complaints! Highly recommend if you’re in the area or traveling through.

I love coming to this tiny gem in bethel to enjoy the in house beverages and a nice range of appetizers, entries and desserts. The staff are always welcoming and have a great energy with providing service. The place is very intimate considering it was once Bethel’s former train station. You have the option to dine outside during the spring and summer seasons. Right in the middle of town, you will need to make reservations for groups.

Broken Symmetry is one of my go to spots, especially because it is so close to the office. We literally just cross the train tracks and we are there, which makes it a perfect place to stop by after work or for a quick bite. The food menu is great and has a lot of delicious options. One of my personal favorites is the pretzel. It is always warm, soft, and pairs perfectly with their drinks. The quality of the food is consistently good and it is clear they put thought into their menu. As a brewery, they also have a great beer selection. If you enjoy trying different styles, I definitely recommend getting a flight so you can sample a few options. They also make good cocktails, so there is something for everyone whether you prefer beer or mixed drinks. The staff are always attentive, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Service is quick and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Overall, Broken Symmetry is a great local spot for good food, great beer, and a fun casual atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.
