    Beer flight
    D P.

    This was not what we expected but ended up loving it! It is in a small strip mall, not where I was expecting a brewery to be ( they do have the tanks in their back rooms). They have a very small outside seating area. Limited menu items but let me tell you the Baked Pretzel was awesome... and HUGE!!! Its about a foot tall. Lots of great beer choices. I didn't see it posted anywhere but you can order a beer flight which was a great way to taste several, which I did. We were told to order at the bar when we came in but later a guy came around and checked to see if we needed anything so I'm not sure of the actual order process. They have a variety of 4-6 person tables, high tops and bar seats. And they have tons of games you can play... we played GIANT UNO! A lot if fun!!!

    Lots of music on Fridays and a continually changing set of beers. There is always something new to try. I love getting the flights.

    Really solid selection of beers. Their Pied Piper Pils is spectacular. Nice folks staffing the place too.

    Beer & wine!    Great beers!

    Loved our first visit to Dancing Kilt. Great beer, great people and laid back the way we like it!

    Beer flights and soft pretzel - delicious!

    The red ale was mild and went down so easy! The purple dragon has an 11.5% abv but was also smooth, and the honey flavor does come through. St.Damien says it has a hint of spice, but its rather heavy for spice, and I very much loved it for that unique flavor. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. That pretzel was amazing - perfect with the beers. The fluorescent lights and office-tile ceiling is not the greatest aesthetics for having a Saturday night out by any means, but the brews are worth a visit. Much recommended!

    Back of menu...a few more beers plus other goodies.

    So great to have a new brewery in Chester. We really enjoyed our first visit and plan to go again soon! I loved the stout...nice coffee/peanutbutter taste. The staff was friendly and it was a nice atmosphere (although the florescent lights were a bit bright) Over all a thumbs up. They need to think about expanding their weekend hours...they close at 7 pm both Friday and Saturday and are closed on Sunday.

    From my vantage point at the bar..

    The place was clean. I liked that. And the beer I drank (Brown Gnome, I think it was called) was tasty. The gal who greeted me on the way in was friendly and the guitarist was entertaining. I'd definitely swing-by again if I were to pass that way.

    Yes, there is outdoor seating.

I hate going to a winery and not enjoying half the wines because what they say they are, are nothing like how they taste. That is not the case here at all! Debbie also labeled our flight tray, so there was no confusion over which wine was which. As far as the atmosphere, it was early on a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other couple there when we arrived, but more folks came in while we were enjoying our wine. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day, but there is indoor seating and it is very nice and clean. Debbie (owner) was very friendly and informative about the wines. We did not try the snacks as we had had a large breakfast, so I can't comment on those. We bought 4 bottles of wine, which I felt were reasonably priced $15-$25 with a discount for amount spent, which was unexpected but nice. We will definitely return.

The grapes are a bit younger (oldest vines about five years) so the flavors are sharp and punchy. There drinkable now but also will age well. They have quite a variety on the tasting menu - from port style, whites and reds. We had a great tasting experience with one of the owners and felt comfortable sitting and drinking wine after our wine tasting. No snacks yet, but they are planning on getting.

The grounds were well maintained and the outdoor seating was nice, pretty views of the vineyards. The inside was rather plain, but nice, it would be better with some wine themed decor, a bit industrial for my taste. The restrooms were clean and had unique fixtures. Our service was super quick and the folks there were friendly and informative! We all ordered various flights of wine to try. I ordered the Lady May Rosé, the Ta Ta Tannat Rosé and the Lori Ann Cab Franc, which were all lovely. I do prefer the rosé blends. We also ordered the charcuterie board and it was huge and full of meats, cheeses, crostini, fruits, and various chutneys. It was marvelous. We also devoured the massive Bavarian pretzel with cheese and mustard dips. The menu also offered salads, tacos, sandwiches, appetizers, and desserts. The food was excellent and went well with our wine flights! I'd like to go back and try some of their whites and more reds!! The prices were very reasonable and we went home with several bottles of wine!!

    Upper Shirley Vineyards is a beautiful space! I came here with a group to celebrate our friends who…read moregot engaged that day. It was a beautiful sunshiny day! We wanted to sit outside, but if you want to do self-service, you have to sit beyond the patio. There wasn't a lot of shaded seating left so we decided to go by the river with some blankets for more shade (we were a group of eight). We ordered both of their roses. I really enjoyed their bubbly rose. We also go the truffle fries and charcuterie board to share. We enjoyed munching on those. They have women and mens restrooms indoors. There is a lot of free parking out front. There are indoor seats available, but I believe inside and the patio are only for full service. If you want something a bit closer to the city, this is a pretty spot.

    Well this was a second visit here with the first time last fall (September 2024). Today (July…read more2025) we found out that in our opinion this place is consistent. Each visit we brought out of town visiting guess for lunch and flight tasting. Let first talk about the meals. This time I decided on a burger and chips. It was a nice size meal and perfectly cooked. The wifey had the Turkey Bacon Ranch Panini with chips. She liked it and it also was a very filling meal. My guest has the Southwest Cobb Salad and she really liked it and the portion was huge. She ended up taking about 1/2 home for a late dinner. The Truffle Fries appetizer was outstanding and also a very large portion. The both ladies did have wine flights and both found a wine that they really enjoyed. As for service: our young lady was very nice and took decent care of us. She checked on us a couple times during our nearly 2 hour stay. As for the location: We love it. The view on a sunny day of the water/grounds from the patio deck is wonderful. Although on both times of my visits we have eaten outside but the inside is really nice and cool inside on hot day like today was. One last thing - reservations. We made a request for the outside patio and we got exactly what we wanted. We are also glad we made reservations because we would not have been outside without them today. The inside although a nice crowd - wasn't full. There were tables. But with all this said I highly suggest reservations. So go and enjoy your visit at USV.

We were hoping to find a vineyard and found Spring Run on one of our searches. We were unable to reach anyone by telephone at first but it was already kind of late in the day so we just drove over there and unfortunately for us, we happened to go when it was closed. We called while we were in the parking lot and the super friendly owner answered and apologized that she was closed that day but talked us into visiting them the next day. We almost didn't make it the next day but we managed it and I'm so happy that we did! The owners are super friendly and explained the history of the vineyard and it was so beautiful and peaceful to just sit there and enjoy some wine and cheese and talk to the owners. We did wine flights and my favorite was their blackberry wine which we both ended up taking bottles of home with us. I thought the blackberry wine would be too sweet as I'm not a fan of sweet wine but it was more fruity than sweet and had the perfect taste. We also tried the Goot Essa Cheese and Rip Rap crackers and I can honestly say that it was some of the best cheese I had ever tasted! It's a 3 year sharp cheddar and it went perfectly with our wine flights! We also ended up taking a couple souvenir shirts with us as a memory to our awesome experience. I have family in Virginia and will definitely be making time to visit this vineyard again when I make it back!
