I wasn't impressed. They didn't have any dark beer. Other drinks (such as soda) are in a can. Food comes from a food truck. A few indoor tables but it's way too loud to sit inside. Outside deck tables have umbrellas, but only the ones on the perimeter. Can't see the water because of the railing height. read more

My significant other and I visited Billsburg Brewery on a recent trip to Williamsburg and this was one of our favorite spots from the trip! The bartenders let us know they had just opened in January, so they're relatively new to the Williamsburg beer scene, but they're already doing a great job! We enjoyed the beers, which are pretty on par price-wise with most craft breweries. I enjoyed the fact that they list their taps on a screen that's linked to the app UnTapped, which also highlights reviews of their beer on the app. As someone who enjoys using UnTapped, I think this is a neat way to engage with the brewery. That being said, I had no service while we were there, so I didn't get to enjoy this feature, but I also didn't ask if there was WiFi available. The brewery is a bit off the beaten track and has an awesome patio with views of a harbor, so I think it would be an amazing location in the summer months! They also partner with some local food trucks and offer live music on some weekends. If I was a local, I could easily see this becoming my favorite weekend spot to enjoy a beer (or a few) on the weekends! The staff was also very friendly and provided great service while we were there. read more

Billsburg Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

This place is such an awesome brewery! One of the only breweries I have seen with an actual beer garden where are you are not staring at the road breathing in exhaust from cars driving by. The beer is fantastic my wife loves their craft cocktails which is great because she doesn't drink beer or wine. Staff is great Jack & Jessie & Dalton were the three guys I talked to- nicest bartenders I've ever met. We can come out here with our kids and they don't even know we're at a brewery because the beer garden has picnic tables and a big pavilion with tables in it and screens to block sun it's absolutely beautiful it's right on the water at a yacht club or marina or some thing there are boats and water from the James River and super relaxing. On the weekends they have music and different events. Highly recommend. read more

Fabulous beer and a great atmosphere, right on the marina by Jamestown settlement. They have rotating local food trucks, it was Probst a German food truck the night we were there. They also have great events such as live music. One word of advice, skip Jamestown Settlement and go to Historic Jamestown read more

A fantastic brewery paired with an awesome location right on the water in Jamestown. Located right near the historic Jamestown settlement, Billsburg brewery sits right on the marina of the water and has a fairly large inside, big deck overlooking the water, and even a tent outside and cornhole. You can really hang out for an entire day here, especially when the food trucks are here. read more

Great location and atmosphere. They had 5 beers on tap their second weekend and all were very good. There is lots of seating outside on picnic tables and a good sized deck area. Inside taproom seating is limited. read more

I love Billsburg! The location is amazing, right on the water. The beer is always good and they have a wide variety to choose from. They always have a food truck, which is great for when we get hungry. Service is always very nice, as well! It's our favorite place to take people when they come to visit! read more

I went earlier this year, and had a great experience with the staff and the beers, I couldn't wait to come back. The view was fantastic and the staff was so kind. I went back today and without trying to be rude- the beer quality has gone down tremendously- nothing is consistent and half of the beers make me want to send them back. The staff seemed less interested and definitely didn't care about my happiness. Probably won't be back. read more

Lagers were great, as was the stout. Fly away IPA was very good, but tourist trap NE IPA was the worst I've had from the style (my favorite style). If it wasn't for that, I'd give it a 5. Loved the staff & ambiance, especially how they allowed dogs and had a great food truck. Will definitely come back soon! read more

Went in today and just wanted to buy some stickers and posters. Ended up trying their Oktoberfest beer which was delicious and their brown ale! OMG that is the best Brown ale I have had in a very long time! I didn't catch the name of the gorgeous woman helping me or the gentleman I spoke with but both were awesome and friendly! I love my local Williamsburg breweries! read more

Excellent beers being made here- and honestly the absolute best brewery, in my opinion, in the Williamsburg area. We tried a few stouts, as well as a New England-style IPA called the bromance. The stout was full, proper head, and tasty. We like to travel around to breweries in the Richmond and Charlottesville/Blue Ridge areas and Billsburg is making some high quality beers that rival some of our long-standing faves. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable- offered tastes and advice on beer choices. They are stocked with some snacks as well as sodas/juice for kids or non- drinkers. I will say their patio is in a beautiful spot overlooking the water and we are looking forward to coming back in the warmer months. The brewery is located right near the start of the capital trail in Jamestown, and maybe a mile from the ferry, so if you're from Richmond I recommend taking Rt 10 and then hitting the free ferry at least one way if you've never done that. read more

An excellent addition to the Williamsburg brewery scene. They have an exceptional location with large outdoor deck area overlooking boats/water. Service is quick and they take time to explain all their beers. Frequent fun events and food trucks. Bathrooms are clean as well, which is a big deal when you're sitting and drinking on a summers. We love having the time to spend at BB! read more

After a historic walking tour of Smithfield, a docent-led tour of Bacon's Castle, driving thru the rain, it was great to take the free ferry over to Billsburg Brewery for much needed libations. Between the 3 of us we ordered 2 rounds of 6 different styles and totally enjoyed all of them. Quick service, a great selection (maybe 15 styles?), and plenty of seating (shared tables + stools at the bar). 2 TV's showing college football - we were interested in the games, but it wasn't intrusive if you're not a football fan. Quite simply a great place to hang out and enjoy great beers. read more

Great setting with a great outdoor deck overlooking the Marina! Very Good selection of drinkable beers! Food trucks on site, right next to Jamestown Settlement and the Ferry to Chipokes Plantation. read more

Every single beer here was enjoyable. I'm crazy picky, and I love all of them. Their prices are excellent. The space is inviting as well. It's really close to a lot of major historical spots so it's convenient. They have great local food trucks too. We ended up coming back two days later from our initial visit, and they remembered us. I'd come back here anytime. read more

I've never had a bad time here. The staff is always chatty and friendly. The service is always good. The food trucks are out of this world. The locale is beautiful and the seating is plentiful. I just can't say enough about it. It's my favorite place to grab a fun bite, a flight and tasty beer and more. I love it. read more

Nice brewery in a somewhat hidden location near Jamestown Settlement museum. Nice view of the water. Different food trucks, so it doesn't get boring. They have a good stout! read more

stopped here after biking on the capital trail and enjoyed a cold beer! Friendly staff and helpful with choices and tasting. Seats are limited due to Covid but I would recommend trying to stop by and getting a spot! read more

Fun and friendly crowd, relaxed atmosphere. A place you would want to hang with friends. The beer is amazing. So good, you would want to take some to go for later. I highly recommend this brewery. read more

Very friendly and kid friendly Tap Room. Their pilsner is absolutely outstanding. Selection of 12 different beers on tap, the ones I tried were all uniformly very good. The IPA was all Citra and really nicely done. Rye IPA had a good dose of rye malt spiciness as well. For a new brewery they really seem to have their act together. Deck is a great spot to overlook the marina while sipping a cold one. read more

Amazing service! The staff is very friendly and super fun loving people. Definitely a reflection of great management, great atmosphere and scenery. Best spot in town for a beer or two! read more

Love the atmosphere here! Good beer and the location is spectacular, try to always go on Wednesday when they have live music. The staff are amazing and the establishment is well kept. Wouldn't change a thing. read more

Good beers, reasonably priced ($5 to $8), good variety, good seating areas with games. Family/dog/cyclist friendly. It's a good spot!

This is a neat place. Staff was great. I liked the "music tent." Food truck was ok, I would have preferred better. The beer was good. The only thing, and it's rather minor, is they need some more umbrellas at the tables. I liked the scenery--very hard to beat. read more

Beer was very good, but only giving it three stars as there wasn't a smile or welcoming face to be found. Not mean but barely a Welcome or a Thank You. If you don't like what you are doing perhaps you shouldn't do it? read more

This is a family friendly place to sit outdoors and enjoy a great beer and food from the food trucks. You can bring your dogs and kids. They have a corn hole game to play with the family also. Nice view of the water! read more

The beer is great, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. It's a hidden gem, but something tells me it won't be hidden for long.

Great beer and great atmosphere. Always a fun food truck onsite. We love to come on any weekend afternoon for a brew
