- BBarbaraVIPNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoSurfridge is a great spot! As fantastic as all their house-brewed drafts and handcrafted cocktails/mocktails are, we actually go primarily for the food. Everything on their menu is delicious, from local raw oysters to shareables to their fabulous wood-fired pizzas. And you can't beat the prices. Highly recommend this family-friendly brewpub!More infoSurfridge Brewing CompanyPrice: Moderate• Pub• Centerbrook•4.8
