This is a great addition to the northern neck especially in Montross. We always used to stop at the…read moreMontross brewery to grab drinks and sometimes dinner before we head to our vacation home. After the Montross brewery was closed we hardly stopped in Montross. Recently we discovered this brewery and we decided to try it. They have a decent patio, and great interior. Huge space for live music, karaoke and game room. The bar tender was very nice. We ordered flight of beer and wings, potstickers and fries for food. Everything was great. The service was excellent. The bar tender is very nice to talk to. Brings good energy. Recommend sitting at the table if you don't have a large party. Karaoke singers were great too. Decently crowded space. We are definitely looking forward to stopping by on our way next time.

We usually end up here in a weekend night so they typically call have live music which is nice. This night we got a couple of appetizers, Korean Red Chile wings and the loaded fries. Both were very good.

This was a highlight of our long weekend at Colonial Beach…read more We rented a house nearby for the weekend and scoped out the area for things to do since it was a rainy and cloudy Memorial Day weekend. We showed up in the late afternoon and the place was packed. After getting our beer, which were all really good, we settled into the Annex to listen to music. I appreciate that they had entertainment but kept it at a reasonable volume so we could still carry on a conversation. We had 7 beers between 4 people and our tab was about $63. Seems high to me but I'm sure there are taxes and other fees. While it was pricey, I am happy to pay it to enjoy the entertainment and the great company of my friends.

This is probably a 4.5 because more salt and less tzatziki could have been used but it's easy to…read moreround up to a 5 because of the Honey Bee Blonde, softness of the pita, and flavor packed meatballs plus a fun space, both indoor and outdoor with a DJ. The chicken flatbread was delicious although as one person mentioned previously, heavy on the onion, which was no big deal to pick off. The gyros were yummy as well and although being a brewery, they do carry Athletic brewing for the NA crowd which is quite considerate! Staff had a lot going on because of the crowds coming for the parade and were generally nice but otherwise engaged so not sure how deeply friendly, but it was fine!!

She always remembers us and provides exceptional and personal service. This past weekend, we went to the Ice House to celebrate our engagement and they gave us a bottle of champagne and wonderful recognition. Along with the live music that they regularly have. They also have good food like burgers and even better wine slushies. The ambiance is super cool - Jimmy Buffet Tropical Café meets Virginia. 1000% recommend if you're in CB!

The wings were good, though the sauce was drizzled on rather than fully tossed. Cons:The fries were just okay. Despite staying to enjoy the live music, our wings and fries were served in to-go containers, and we weren't provided plates--expected to eat straight from the boxes, even though plates were clearly available behind the bar. Beer and cider selections were also more limited than expected. Overall: The venue has a great atmosphere, live entertainment, and decent wings, but the limited drink selection and the inconvenience of eating from to-go containers indoors significantly affected the overall experience. Therefore, I need to give this one a 3 out of 5.

I was so excited to visit this place after reading all the positive reviews; however, our…read moreexperience was a letdown due to the hospitality (or lack of it). We were here earlier than usual (10:30 am, don't judge me for drinking before noon!!!) and we're the only customers. It's uniquely located at a camp ground, but parking is a bit limited. The tasting room is small but has amble seating. There was a piano in the tasting room and no one was at the tasting room when we entered. My daughter who is a beginner pianist, wanted to play. Since there were no signs on the piano that forbid people touching, she went ahead and played. Then an older gentleman came in and told us in a stern tone that the piano is not for playing. He was not friendly at all and even after we apologized and ordered a flight for sampling, he still was not engaging. I'm not sure if he is the brew master or just someone works for the campsite store, but he didn't seem too happy to be there. We had the 2 stouts, an Amber, and pilsner on tap for our flight. They were all just OK. We didn't want to order more because his attitude and the sense that we were not welcomed there... Which was too bad because it was a nice space with plenty of outdoor seating, a playground in the back for kids to play while parents enjoy some refreshing beer. We will most likely not go back again given the cold-shoulder treatment.
