Black Pond Brews — Restaurant in Killingly

Beer = great. Two minor improvements are needed.

1. bar space is limited but the line in the middle to come up to place orders or to pay off your bill gets crowded because even though they may be three people behind the counter only one is up there at a time.
2. when the tasting room gets full since it has cinder block walls it gets pretty loud in there because everybody's trying to talk over everybody else and have a regular conversation. A simple solution would be to at least hang something that's fabric or sound absorbing on the walls and that could be pictures or other things but something to stop the sound from echoing all over the place. Black Pond Brews is an excellent place to be and the staff and everybody else's friendly, helpful wonderful... It's just these two little things that can help your business model run a little smoother and for everybody to be a bit quieter in the room. The food offerings are good too but what happens again with that bottleneck at the bar for all orders you may be losing out on the volume of orders because a waiting line of a few people...

Edit: it wasn’t a cider, it was a sour. The Alice Scooper seen in the photo I attached.

Kind of bummed out. I live far away & I stopped at Black Pond on a quiet Sunday. The atmosphere and service was good and the food wasn’t bad. I really enjoyed the beer—got a flight assembled that I really loved.

The reason for 3 stars is because of the canned cider. I bought a 4 pack to take home. When I got home I had one. The carbonation was off the charts and the cider was more sour than I remembered on tap.

I didn’t think much of it and put the remaining 3 cans back in the fridge. Within a couple of weeks 2 of them exploded and one was about to. When I put them in the fridge the cans were in perfect condition. Either something went wrong during the fermentation stages or they’re selling infected cider. Was a big waste of money, a big mess to clean, and a disappointment since I’m...

We recently discovered that Black Pond opened a kitchen and serves food. The vibe is laid back, casual with games to occupy your time and a full range of theme nights and special events. Multiple taps of their house brews means there is bound to be something for everyone! I particularly like their hoppy, juicy ales. Although their menu is limited, and features German food - their fries are done right (hand cut and cooked just right. ) And their pulled pork is delicious. Their pizza on the other hand was drowned in cheese and underwhelmed. There is plenty if seating inside, tables outsides, and a prevent events room as well. We are happy we found Black Pond and look forward to explore more of their menu and beers very soon. Updated: I erroneously posted that they use peanut oil, however the folks at Black Pond shared that they do not so folk with peanut allergies can...
