Always reliable with good food. Great beer selection and friendly wait staff. A variety of seating is provided.

I love Beer Run brunch, but their lunch options did not quite hit the spot for me. I got the Road Runner sandwich, which was extremely dry and a little hard to eat because the bread was so thick. The flavors were good, but there was way too much bread when compared to the fillings inside. The pasta salad was excellent, but overall I was a little disappointed by this experience. read more

Dined outside at Beer Run on a Friday evening. They've added an additional outdoor dining area covered by a tent, which helps since they are not taking reservations. Orders are placed at a separate location, not with wait staff at the table. Staff act as food runners and are constantly cleaning. This appears to be a mitigation strategy to reduce contact time with customers. Beer run still offers a stellar beer selection both on draft and in cans/bottles. Special tappings still occur periodically, with the most recent one being Dinner by Maine Beer Company. The menu seems to continue to change some periodically. On this visit, I enjoyed the Beat 'em To It bowl. It consisted of chicken, sweet potatoes, beets, apple, kale, almonds, and goat cheese over quinoa. A side of balsamic honey was served to help tie all the flavors together. It all worked and was delicious. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

For past 15 years we have really enjoyed Beer Run. Their nachos are among the best we've had anywhere and the beer selection is definitely best in town. It is unfortunate to have such a unique and trusted place get ruined by terrible service. In a half full restaurant, our server was inattentive and was not paying attention when our nacho appetizer was delivered to another table. Very casually came out to let us know that they were delivered to another table because he "wasn't paying attention". The nachos came out after half way through our entrees (this is admittedly a first world problem) but was handled very poorly with no additional explanation or acknowledgement. My wife asked for some extra Mayo and we were charged $1.50 for it? I assumed some consideration for the late appetizer but had to ask for it. Server offered a $5 discount! Thankfully that generosity helped us cover the $1.50 teaspoon of mayonnaise. It sucks to spend $75 for two burgers and a plate of nachos to be so poorly served Update: Thank you for the great response Beer Run. My faith is totally restored and greatly appreciate the stellar follow up. You're the best in town read more

The birria sandwich was a great substitute for miralax! Yoikessssssssssssssssssssssss

Beer Run is a fun, surprising little gem of a bar/restaurant. Offering quality food, excellent beer selection, and a variety of indoor and outdoor seating, Beer Run has something for everyone. I particularly love their long bar and huge back room (with a second bar they can open up). Its worth noting that their saturday morning brunch has a limited taco only menu. Sunday morning is a regular brunch only menu. They also have afternoon/happy hour only menus. You see where i'm going with this. It pays to know what you want because your desired food option might not be available. But i love the various personalities on show at Beer Run. Chill, neighborhood bar? Check. Local beer grocery with huge selections of drinks to take home? Check. Back room perfect for large parties? Check. Awesome covered patio? Check. Small interior rooms for coffee and breakfast? Check. Beer run can get packed quickly during breakfast hours so plan accordingly. Foodwise, I've tried their bratwurst hash brunch dish which was quite good, some breakfast tacos (very filling), and their fried potatoes (awesome, love their sauce). Their pasta salad is also quite light and refreshing on a hot day. I also really liked their spicy Bloody Mary and totally acceptable mimosas. Their sangria was a weak though and do not recommend it. Stick with the beers and wines. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out and I'm so glad I did! Beer Run is a cute little place that's 1/3 bar, 1/3 cafe style restaurant, 1/3 craft beer market. There's free beer tasting every Wednesday! The craft beer I tried out was this raspberry beer from Founders and it was amazing. It's 9% or so abv but you could never tell because there's such a strong, tart taste of raspberries. It tastes like really good soda! The servers are awesome! They're friendly, attentive, and very helpful. There's a decent amount of choices on the menu and an extensive dessert menu, as well. I got the veggie linguini with chicken and loved it. The mushrooms were really good and so was the grilled chicken. I also love the ricotta cheese on top. I got key lime pie for dessert and it was perfect. Very tart just the way I like it! I'm definitely going to come back again to try other drinks and other food on the menu. read more

Great place. A strange hybrid between a convenience store and a bar, but it works. Amazing beer selection, both to go and on tap. Really nice friendly staff. Get the nachos - delicious and big enough for two. read more

We arrived for brunch and the indoor seating was cramped and pretty full, so we sat outside. We had the egg white omelette, Salmon Benedict, and drinks - beer blend and Bayou Breeze. The Salmon Eggs Benedict was delightful, and the hollandaise sauce was bright and fresh. The service was pretty fast to start then ground to a halt, which wouldn't have been such a big deal except we were sitting in 90 degree heat. Thanks for the delicious meal! read more

A staple of Belmont. Always fresh & delicious food. And a phenomenal selection of brews. Outside seating nice for being tucked next to a parking lot. Always enjoy pausing their dessert case! Bison Burger oh so good when I need a carnivore fix read more

Beer Run is one of those places for me that always sounds like a great plan, but then I remember it's on the other side of town so I don't make it over there. But then... When I do make it over there, I can't believe it had been that long. Typically I'm here to pick up beer. It has a very good beer selection of various styles and regions (local, national, international). At Beer Run I'm a Mix-a-6 kinda guy. Grab a little bit of everything. They do have growler fills, but that is a serious commitment. Typically I order a sandwich... They are good, don't get me wrong, but I never really feel like I'm full. That changed the other night. They had a bone-in pork chop on special, and MY was it special. It was cooked perfectly. Some places really dry out their pork chop. This had a sauce that was amazing. A hint of BBQ in it. The garlic mashed potatoes were a nice touch. I thought the green beans were a little undercooked, but sometimes that is personal preference. Hands down, the best meal I have had at Beer Run. COVID wise... Order everything at the host stand, they have extended their outdoor seating area with a large tent. Number given and food brought to you. You bus your own tables. You can still go in to grab your beer to go, but just trying to limit interactions. Staff all wore masks and tables were cleaned between each seating. Now, I will make it back... Even if on the other side of the town. read more

Beer Run - Bone in Pork Chop special with garlic mashed new potatoes and green beans. - New American Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place is amazing! Cool local spot in Charlottesville to purchase beer, wine, and food items to go but also offering dine in/curbside takeout options as well. All necessary Covid precautions in place and the staff was super friendly....and cute :) My friend and I came after a 6 mile hike and to say we were ravenous is an understatement! She got the loaded meat nachos which were piled high with melty cheese and huge chunks of well seasoned red meat. I ordered the bison burger with a side salad and potato wedges. It's on the pricier side for a burger but it did not disappoint. And the pretzel roll bun! I'm not sure I ever really tasted a pretzel roll bun before and it was life changing. Usually I pick the meat off after a couple bites and discard the bun but I gobbled it all up! My only complaint was the potato wedges could have been crispier but that's just me. We finished off with some carrot cake and rye brownie. Both were amazing. And we have no regrets! read more

I've been frequenting beer run since 2013 when I started visiting C'ville. Now as a permanent resident, I don't go as much. Sadly, I feel like some changes are needed to get it back in the shape it was years back. First, the beer menu is condensed now. They do offer great beer, but you can expect to pay $6-8 for an IPA on tap. The selection of tap beer does not have great range. There are plenty of styles to choose from but limited to mostly high gravity and off the wall beers (sad you can no longer rely on them to have little sumpin ale at all times for $5/pint anymore). Secondly the service has turned into an awkward walk up and order-take a number to your table- version of dine in service. There is no wait staff to take your order. The prices have inflated greatly as well. A side order of their famous frites now costs $3 as an add on to your $13 sandwich. You can expect to receive six small frite wedges for that price. The salads are over priced and underwhelming. Our summer salad was $12 and had a few cubes of watermelon, sad amount of lettuce and was missing the goat cheese it was supposed to come with (it was about the size of any other side salad elsewhere). Since you aren't being waited on, and it's already paid for, you have to go find someone to fix it. All served on giant plates that make it seem like you're getting more than you actually are. Definitely shop their beer and wine selection as it IS the best beer shop in Charlottesville, but maybe save your money for another dinner/drink option around town. read more

I love this place. It is a craft beer lover's oasis and somewhat of a local legend. Great selection of beer and the food is very good. Daisy was excellent as was John, the owner. I had salmon risotto with veggies. It was the first time on the menu, I was told. For its debut it impressed me and it's a definite keeper. A nice glass of (well 2) sauvignon blanc and Tiramisu for desert. New to the neighborhood and a short walk to Beer Run. I'll become a regular. Recommended. read more

I love the selection of smoothie sours! The food is delicious and the outdoor seating is awesome.

We came here for Sunday brunch because there was a Hooked deal for 25% off an entree at the time. I ordered the Eggs in Purgatory (Eggs layered over organic grits with tomato marmalade, braised spinach, and chipotle sauce) and my friend ordered the Pupusa Cheeky Chapman (Two Organic Black Bean, Garlic, Smoked Paprika, and Spicy Jack Cheese Stuffed Fresh Corn Pupusas, with Tomatillo Salsa Verde, Fresh Avocado & Vegan Kimchi), which she enjoyed. We also ordered a side of potatoes with smokey paprika mayo (so delicious). I didn't notice this while I was at the restaurant, but I never received the fruit cup that their online menu says is served with the Eggs in Purgatory. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or if they've changed their menu and just haven't updated their website. Overall, the dish was good but a bit too sweet because of either the tomato marmalade or the chipotle sauce, it was hard to tell. It was very filling though. Service was also a little slow, but they were very busy. read more

***The only reason I'm not leaving a 2 star review is because of previous visits being much more enjoyable. This was probably my 7th time visiting, from Richmond, for a bite to eat and beers after trout fishing. When I arrived there was a few folks at the bar and a handful of table occupied outside under the tent. I was the only person dining inside not at the bar. I waited near the register before seating myself. 5 minutes drifted by before I finally spoke up and asked, "is it ok to seat myself or...?" A bald dude behind the bar seemed annoyed by the question and responded, "how many?" It was just me. Service was EXTREMELY slow, however the waitress was friendly and polite. After waiting almost 15 minutes to order a beer I then proceeded to watch same bald bartender pour my beer and place it where it sat waiting for the waitress for another ten minutes. The bartender was just shooting the shit. What kind of place doesn't simply notice the beer is still sitting there and just run it? Poor service. I ordered the sticky Asian wing special, an order of 12. I wish I had some pocket change to set a nickel next to these wings for size comparison. Smallest wings I've ever had! I was planning on ordering a few drafts and leaving with a case of cans, but pulled the plug and had to get out. I'm hesitant to go back. I've had such great experience in the past, such a fall from glory. read more

Such a legendary place, with fantastic food. The gluten free person and the vegetarian in our party both left amazingly satisfied, as did those of us without any dietary constraints. (Gluten free bread isn't listed on the menu but it's available with any sandwich). And the staff is really delightful - just super kind and friendly. read more

This place is definitely more of a local spot. There's a decent happy hour on weekdays and every meal we have had has been good. The frites are really potato wedges and they, and the nachos, are always a must. The prices are a little high but not really egregious for the area. Not a ton of space inside but plenty of covered and uncovered outdoor seating. Beer selection indoors is good and there's usually one staff member that's pretty knowledgeable about the beer selection. Historically, I have gone expecting bad service but great food. Wait staff is always nice, but generally just inattentive and kitchen is slow. That being said, if you're not in a rush and there to vibe it's usually a non-issue. Last night we probably had the quickest and best service we've had. Good and beer was out quick, we didn't have to chase down the waiter. Food was delicious as usual. Ingredients are good quality and their house sauces are great. The lack of students swarming is nice, too. read more

I shared an outrageous plate of nachos with my husband and everyone dining got a different beer, as the name implies they have a lot to choose from. you can get a smaller size beer, so you don't have to get a buzz on with your lunch if you don't want. Back to the nachos: they were great and we could barely finish them between us, and they were also a really good deal when you think of the price being split between two. For what it is, i give it five stars. read more

Beer Run - New American Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The love of my life and I were in town for the Sara Bareilles little black dress tour. We arrived to Charlottesville so we could eat dinner before the concert. We had no idea where to find a good meal and looked to YELP for answers. Yelp strongly favored this place and without missing a beat we made our way to Beer Run. I grew up in a college town (Fullerton, CA) and I love college kids. UVA is probably my #1 University in all of Virginia. Forget VT, VCU, U of R, JMU, ODU, etc. UVA ALL THE WAY!!! I'm not sure if the kids running this place were college kids but let's just assume they are. They were totally cool. I don't recall her name but she explained the menu items in detail and based on her suggestions we ordered. My lady love had the incredible fish and chips (pictured in my review.) Allow me to quote the menu description: Corn-Chip-Encrusted, Fried Spicy Catfish Fillet Topped with Fresh House-Made Pico de Gallo and Chipotle Ranch, Served with Organic House-Roasted Frites. It was absolutely divine, a 10/10 dinner entrée. I had a dinner special which was a seafood burger patty topped with a Sriracha sauce, fresh tomato, cheese and eruca sativa (commonly known as salad rocket, rucola, rucoli, rugula, colewort, roquette and, in the United States, arugula.) I'm a big wuss and the Sriracha sauce scorched my mouth. Thankfully the disgusting arugula was there to remind my tongue how bitter edible plants can be. I powered through it and washed it down with a delicious craft beer. One of my profile pics is me toasting a beer; well that picture was taken right here at Beer Run. Although I didn't like my meal, I respect the craftsmanship of it. They put some thought into it; I just personally didn't like the flavor profile. The Fish and Chips were another matter. I was having a full case of food envy that night. Whoever thought encrusting catfish in corn chips and lovingly smother it in chipotle ranch is a damn genius. This dish should be featured in a magazine. It's fantastic! If you're in the Charlottesville area for business or a concert give beer run a go. read more

Our first time there. Very crowded, but the heated tent was not occupied at all, worked well for a party of 10 and 2 kids. Food was excellent, the nachos (had after a long time) were finger licking good. Service was also good, friendly, fast and attentive. We shall be back! read more

I've gotten takeout sandwiches from Beer Run twice now. Their online ordering system is super straightforward and user friendly, and both times the food has been ready to go right on time. I've tried the pimento BLT and the Road Runner--and while neither of them was remarkably unique or impressive, they were yummy and hit the spot for a lunch sammie! Both times I opted for the pasta salad side which was good. Hopefully next time I can dine in and enjoy my meal with one of their many beer options! read more

Maybe we hit it on a bad night but I don't know why the reviews are so high for this place. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and the chicken was almost black because it was so over cooked. The biscuit was old, hard and falling apart. Both my wife and I ordered frites for an extra charge only to get potatoes wedges which were more like an extremely mushy baked potato sliced in wedges. My wife's burger was average and nothing to write home about. My wife also ordered a margarita and she noted it was the worst margarita she's ever had. Doubt we'll be back to give it a second chance. read more

The food was pretty good. I had the vegetable quesadilla and it was quite good. Pretty standard bar fare, but you can tell they're trying and they have nice, and warm, outside seating arrangements. All in all, this is a great lunch spot! read more

Ive been to BR dozens of times... usually for beers and nachos. Yes, they're nachos are legendary and hands down my favorite nacho. They also make awesome bison burgers and brats, both on pretzel buns. The crispy potatoes are a awesome, their fried fish (either as a fish and chips or fish tacos) is stellar, and their salad offerings are always on point. Most recently (2/4) we stopped in for brunch and few beers. This was my first brunch visit. She went fish tacos and was overly delighted, I had sausage hash topped with egg. Perhaps the first time something dissapointed at BR.... the hash features bits of sausage and larger chunks of potatoes on top of soft white bread. Little bit of veg and cheese and sauce and 1 sunnyside egg. It was just starch on starch and really kinda dry and tough to get through. read more

Beer Run - Kimchi rice platter to go! - New American Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I had an unpleasant experience that I think is worth sharing if others are considering patronizing this establishment. This is in regards to how the staff treats its guests, with behavior that could be interpreted as subtle discrimination. My significant other and I stopped by to have dinner on a summer evening. We checked in inside with the staff at the front and asked if we could have a table for two outdoors. The man said yes, but it would be a few minutes, so he seated us at a waiting table out front in the sun, with no shade. We could see from where we were sitting that probably about 3/4 of the tables on the patio were open, so we assumed it probably wouldn't be a long wait. About 5 minutes went by and no one had come back. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we assumed he was busy, as staffing is difficult right now in the service industry. Around this time, an older couple arrived and went indoors. They emerged almost immediately with the man who had also checked-in with us and he proceeded to walk them towards the outdoor seating area. We thought maybe they had a reservation, but one of the guests said audibly, "I think they were here before us," in reference to me and my partner. The man did not say anything and disappeared with no acknowledgement to us after he seated the other couple. Another 5 minutes went by, and still nothing. Finally, the man returned and said he was going to seat us. We proceeded to follow him and he walked us straight past all the open tables, and motioned for us to sit at the barstools at the edge of the road without even asking (as waiters typically do) if we were open to that. My partner and I decided to leave at that point. This all seems like fairly innocuous inattentive service, except for the fact that my partner and I are both visible ethnic minorities. The combination of 1.) seating other guests who are not minorities before us and 2.) only offering us seats on the outmost perimeter near the street, is enough for someone to interpret this as plausibly intentional. I have no proof it was intentional but either way, Management should be encouraged to hold their staff accountable, as I do not plan to patronize this establishment in the future. For anyone who has made it this far and is curious, we ended up ordering 5 guys. Yes, the food was not as good, but at least I wasn't disrespected by them, which is more important to probably anyone with a bit of self respect. read more

Great place! Service was fast and friendly. Beer was awesome! Got the mushroom lasagna which was delicious! Will def come back.

I wanted to love this place. Fantastic service, nice beer selection, and they advertise using many local foods. After consulting my waiter, I ordered a beer and a burger. I asked for the fries to be crispy, but he said that was not possible as they are roasted in advance and reheated. Instead, I got the house made potato salad. The burger came out looking pretty decent, minus having tomatoes stacked thicker than the beef (I removed them), but the beef was definitely over cooked. I ordered medium rare, as the waiter recommended, but there was no pink left at all. The small portion of potato salad was just okay. I ended up hitting up another place for an appetizer after I left. read more

Had a great Sunday brunch at Beer Run! We ended up walking in through the back by accident and stood around inside for a few minutes without being acknowledged by staff. The hostess walked by us several times without asking us if we needed help- but we were eventually seated in the covered patio, which was pretty loud. We ordered a spicy Bloody Mary, Moscow mule, breakfast burrito and the bacon egg sandwich. The bartender took a while making ("perfecting") my Moscow Mule, but it tasted delicious. I had asked for a side salad instead of potatoes which I did not get, but the sandwich was very big so I didn't bother asking for the sandwich. I also was able to sub cheddar for the pimento cheese. I loved that it came with a few pieces of fruit! When we got our bill, our waitress explained that the table behind us had paid for our bill by accident, so we ended up paying less than we were supposed to. Not sure what happened logistically but our waitress was very nice about it. Loved this place and will definitely be back! read more

Looking for beer? This is your place they have such a large selection of local brews. If my friends and I weren't already drinking later that night we probably would've walked away with a few bottles. It was a bit confusing at first to get a table. There really isn't a hostess stand so you have to go over to the cashier counter and ask for a table. It was about 10-15 min wait which wasn't too bad since there are is so much beer to scope out. They also have beer tastings for local breweries just in case you can decide. My friends and I decide on the Beer Run Nachos (Combo) which came with all natural meat and black beans. It took awhile for these to come out partially because our waitress forgot what we wanted. The chips were very fresh and the nachos had just enough cheese to meat to bean ratio. The salsa on top was very flavorful gave it a nice kick. I love that they actually gave you fresh jalapeno slices versus the typical pickled ones. It definitely added a nice kick and freshness to the nachos. It not as heavy as your typical nachos. Apparently they ran out of silverware because when our nachos came out the waitress disappeared for awhile and then finally appeared once we finished our nachos. I ordered the Rock Barn Bratwurst which was served on a pretzel roll with house vinegar coleslaw and topped with house mustard. It also came with and a side of potato salad, pasta salad or coleslaw. Friends ordered the wings,the turkey trot and the bison burger. Which they all said were pretty good. One in our party thought the sandwich portions were huge that she decided to take the other half home she also said the potato salad was pretty good. Another friend said that the coleslaw was pretty good and that the bison burger was really juicy. Sidenote: we asked the waitress what base the sides were and she informed us that the slaw was vinegar based and the potato salad and pasta salad were mustard base...(just in case you were wondering.) Overall food was pretty good. the bratwurst had a nice snap to it. The slaw was pretty flavorful but covered by the house mustard but both complemented nicely. It almost made me wish I ordered a beer to go with it. The pretzel roll had a crispy exterior and a nice soft center. Where I took off stars was in service because no silverware and no water refill is kind of defeats the purpose of a waitress. I think beer run is definitely a place I would return back to when I visit Cville. It's a very local joint with a very chill and laid back atmosphere . You can totally tell that its a really good hangout place to catch up with friends or just have a snack.Especially when the weather is nice. read more

Visiting. Cool niche little place. Manager seemed extremely friendly, waitstaff very nice and attentive. Woman who was working the register at opening today (Sunday 10/25) was just rude. I think most people enjoy someone who is a morning person when going out to breakfast. Asked I if I could have one slice of french toast with my egg breakfast, she said "No". She then told us French toast was a large portion, and my husband could share. it was not. Asked if I could have toast, she said "Yea". I finally walked away and left husband to finish the order. We were baffled when food came - french toast was deep fried- not at all explained on menu. There were 3 small pieces on each plate. My husband left hungry. AND instead of frying one extra piece for me as I asked- they served and charged us for this plate of bread. read more

As a former Texan, I know my nachos, and these are out of this world!

Beer Run will always be one of my favorite hangouts! read more

First thing I have to say is, they have an wonderful beer list! Lots of unique local offerings along with hits from many of the great breweries around the country. Most would find this to be enough to make the stop but what really impressed us was the menu. Local, local, local. That's the focus here. Schweety had the buffalo burger with a side of potato salad. The burger was cooked perfectly. Usually I find buffalo to be dry and overlooked but not here. The toppings were fresh and tasty and the sauce served with it complemented the sandwich wonderfully. I'll say it again, it was cooked perfectly medium rare and oh, so flavorful. He really loved the mustardy potato salad, too. I ordered the avocado salad. It was full of fresh local greens, avocado, artichoke hearts, cucs, tomatoes, etc.. And the lemon tahini dressing was just so good. The details are what make the food memorable. Desserts looked really enticing but this lunch visit had us moving along. The only reason that I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the space is rather tight making it a bit hard to relax but this will in no way stop us from coming back! read more

The layout of the store wasn't what I imagined it to be. It almost as if they were trying to mimic a convenient store rather than identifying themselves as a true restaurant. Vertical glass fridges filled with six packs encompassed the back wall, while wooden seats and square tables were set off to the side for the customers. A conventional bar with peanuts and flat screen TVs for entertainment stood out on the right. Set off towards the end of the walkway were stocks of vibrantly packaged beer, up to the size of 2-3 rooms rented in a compacted college apartment. Selections aren't your usual Bud Light or Heineken and come from places you probably didn't imagine would exist in a small town like Charlottesville. Oh yeah, this was the real deal. I was overwhelmed with choices, but anyone should be considering that's their gimmick. On the perfect verge of tipsiness, I'm pretty sure I annoyed the heck out of the bartender or more appropriately the 'beertender' about their selections of barley pops. Since I was quite indecisive, the guy offered me a couple samples of their most populars. I ended up choosing the Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale and one of my other friends had the Allagash finished off with a slice of orange. I recommend both, but I'd lean more towards the Ale if you are looking for something different for it has an lychee undertone flavor accompanied with a dry, but tarty aftertaste. Overall, great place, great hangout spot. A little too far of a drive though if not sober. LOL. read more
