Hartford Jazz Orchestra March 9th 7:30

Discover our passion for brewing and enjoy the finest craft beers and cocktails.

Our Manchester venue is proud to host the legendary Hartford Jazz Orchestra for a night of exceptional live music in our intimate upstairs space on Monday March 9th. This event is designed for those who appreciate the complexity and power of a full jazz ensemble in a setting that allows the music to take center stage. The vibe is sophisticated yet relaxed offering a professional concert atmosphere where local jazz fans can gather to hear some of the finest musicians in the region. It is a fantastic opportunity to kick off your week with high quality entertainment in a venue that celebrates the rich musical heritage of Connecticut. Whether you are a lifelong jazz aficionado or just looking for a classy night out the energy in the Craft Bar will be unmatched

The atmosphere for this performance is focused on acoustic excellence and social connection within our specialized upstairs Craft Bar. This space provides a more focused environment than the main hall allowing every arrangement and solo from the orchestra to be heard with clarity. The show begins at 7:30 PM and runs until 9:30 PM making it an ideal destination for an evening of cultural enrichment. You can expect a social and welcoming environment where the community comes together to support live local music. Our building offers the perfect mix of high fidelity sound and comfortable seating ensuring you can settle in and enjoy the full range of the big band experience without the distraction of a busy weekend crowd.

A night of world class jazz is even better when you fuel up with the best items from our kitchen and a fresh pour from our extensive craft list. While the orchestra is performing you can explore our full selection of house brewed beers and artisan cocktails available at the Craft Bar. Our kitchen is serving up top tier dishes that offer a fresh take on brewery favorites. We suggest starting with the Hot Honey Crunch Cauliflower featuring a panko breading or a plate of our Chicken Empanadas served with garlic aioli. If you are looking for a shareable for your table the Margherita Pizza with fresh basil is a classic choice. For a solo handheld that hits the spot try the Shroom and Swiss Smash Burger with caramelized onions and garlic aioli. To finish your evening on a sweet note grab a plate of our Churros with caramel dipping sauce.

This event takes place on Monday March 9th from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Elicit Brewing Manchester. The Hartford Jazz Orchestra performance is held upstairs in the Craft Bar and is free for everyone to attend with no cover charge or tickets required at the door. We recommend arriving early to secure a prime seat in the lounge and to get your food and drink orders in before the first set begins. Spend your Monday evening enjoying premium craft beer and the best live jazz in the state. We look forward to seeing the Manchester community turn out for this incredible night of music and hospitality!
