This is a sad review for me. The last time we will ever dine at this fine establishment. When I…read morefound out it was closing I was extremely upset. This became a place that was a regular rotation for me. From taking visitors from out of town, reuniting with my friends here, spending Sundays watching Bills football, even if they aren't my team, or introducing this place to my partner in crime after our first Fridays after 5 together. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll miss the magical Mac & Cheese, the fantastic beer selection, and the vaulted ceilings that made the whole place loud as hell. Love ya South Street.

There is ample space and there are ample TVs. If you like to sit outdoors, there is great space for that too. They even put up a corn hole game for some friendly fun. There are games inside too. The food is typical bar food. It's tasty but can be greasy. But there are some must have menu items. The Lazy Parrot Fries with cheese and bacon and homemade ranch are KILLER.... Some of the best fries I have ever had. And they are largely consistent with them. I have ordered them on at least 12 occasions and only once have they come out subpar. The pizzas are incredible too. Never disappointed. I go for the sausage , but have tasted others. All good. The boneless wings are as good as any, but I have not found a go-to sauce here.they have a million sauces. Really. But u can't get two on an order of 10 wings. That makes it hard to try new ones because if u don't like the new one, ur stuck with an order of wings u can't eat. The only complaint I have about this place is that sometimes the staff doesn't know what's hot in sports, so the TVs don't often keep up and u might have to ask for a change. And...the. Lights. Are. Too. Sterile. And bright. I don't know if I am at a bar, or in the emergency room. I wish they stayed open past 11....but you can squeeze a good time in before 11 if you go there. Again...highlights are a great, wonderful staff and consistent bar food.

We left the dogs at the Airbnb and drove over here for some sake and ramen and everything was amazing. We were seated right away and each got a handshake ~ sake style ~ and split an order of their wings. They were cooked perfectly and were SO flavorful. We each got a ramen - I got the Momo Chicken and my husband got the Mr. Spicy. We shared a little of the broth from each so we could try them both and they were equally delicious and very filling. Our server was friendly, checked on us often, and made sure we had plenty of water. We also got a couple of their bottles to-go so we could bring them back home to share with my sister and BIL. They are located in such a neat arts district with lots of other businesses and local art outside. They have a huge patio with different seating options and there is tons of parking. If we are ever back in VA we will stop in again.

We tried the Afton location, which is a campus of beer hall, outdoor stage and seating, eventish spaces. Beer- there's a lot of it. Something for everyone.

All in all, it's the classic American brewery experience.

Not just that... we had to open a tab with him at the bar for our iced teas and then walk to another window to order food (on a separate bill) and then pick up our food at another window. I didn't ask if we were required to bus the tables ourselves when we were done. Problem is, I'm in a walking boot and that's just not possible. The bartender just shrugged so we left. I'm not sure if that's the norm here or we hit a day they were under staffed as we're out of towners. Either way, I know it's an incomplete review, but it was an incomplete experience, so this is the best rating I can offer.

Outdoors (this is a 5,000 acre property!), there are also many areas to sit including where heat lamps warm you in the colder months, a fire pit with rocking chairs around it, a space for pizza making classes, a large fireplace & bubbling fountains. All overlooking expansive views of the surrounding mountains & meadows. We came on a day when flights of beer (all were so good!) were half priced.

There is a huge sandbox for the kiddos, there's a covered patio to have a few cold ones with signs that remind us all that "Wu-Tang is for the Children", and there is another sitting area at the bottom of the hill by a gorgeous creek. Although I wouldn't recommend carrying a flight down there. Inside there are maybe 8 beers on tap ( I can't remember) but I got a flight that consisted of a Vienna Lager, a Mexican Lager, a Hefe, and a Chapter 2 IPA. All of the beers were solid, but I think the Philadelphia Vienna Lager was my favorite. There was a food menu but wasn't hungry at the time. There were also beer slushies and other items for those who don't drink beer. The service was friendly. My only complaint would be the flight boards are a little flimsy for those tall flight glasses. I almost lost mine before getting to the table.
