They have some beers that I have not seen in other stores like Estrella Damm and Daura Damm from Spain. Everytime I have been here, I am very impressed by the friendliness of the people working on the store. It looks like they have a lot of regulars who sit and imbibe here. There are a few tables inside and you can sit outside as well. Parking is on the side garage or 1 hour parking in front where there are a few spots. I was looking for Carlsberg having recently been to Denmark and they had it in stock. Prices are pretty much the same as in other stores.

Their customer service is excellent in that the staff are personable and friendly. I've come here several times to pick up some drinks for myself, a gathering or even for a gift. I was impressed with their wine selection because they carry wines that aren't readily carried at competing stores. The prices are fair and the place is well organized too. I highly recommend them!

Not only can you enjoy a pint/flight of beer, but they also have refreshing cocktails and delicious food. The pizza (from Mosaic Pizza) and wings are a must. They also have plenty of shareables that you don't want to skip out on. They can get crowded, especially when they have specials events. I also enjoy the fact that this spot is family friendly- there's something board games to play. My family and I have been a few times now, and definitely plan to be back for more.

We were originally stopping by for a grab-and-go, but were pleasantly surprised to find out that not only did they have an enjoyable, bright and modern look, but also had table + bar seating, tv's, and beer on tap! We ended up grabbing a draft beer during our visit just because of how welcoming the atmosphere felt. The prices were inline with what you would expect from any bar/beer&wine store, so no need to worry about an up-charge due to how nice the it is.

The beer itself is quite good, and the bathrooms are clean. No complaints there. The issue is atmosphere, or the lack of it. Service was efficient and accurate, but the bartenders ranged from detached to noticeably unfriendly, which doesn't exactly set the mood. There was a live band the night I visited, and they were good. They were clearly trying to get something going, but it just didn't take. Part of that may be the crowd, which I realize a brewery can't fully control. But it's a strange fit for the location. Seven Locks sits in an industrial park in a more modest part of Rockville, and the clientele skews heavily toward families who've come with kids, tablets, and dogs, and who aren't particularly interested in talking to anyone they didn't arrive with. There's nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't make for a lively bar experience. The result is a place that has the ingredients for something great but feels oddly joyless in practice. I'll probably try it again hoping something clicks, but right now it's a hard place to love.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Eh, 7 Locks Brewing is an interesting place. My good girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night…read morefor a drag bingo show put on by a partnered business, Absolutely Dragulous. I'm going to be honest.. this was not really a place that I think is appropriate for a show, a drag show at that. Lots of kicking, spinning, vogueing - and it was distracting to getting my drink down. I wish the space was more opened for the event. Additionally, the parking wasn't the best either. We parked on the street, about 0.2 miles away and were pleased to see there wasn't a charge posted on the meter. Almost an hour into the bingo show, my friend and I were hungry, and did not want the bags of chips floating around 7 Locks. So we left without finishing the game and went to go settle those hunger sounds. Overall, I don't think I would return to 7 Locks. There were a few missed moments and to top it all off, the crowd wasn't the most inviting either, as I asked a gentleman at a single table by himself, if the seats were taken (as my party of 2 stood for the first hour), and his response was that he would "let me know" once he finishes his pizza. Just - kinda rude in my opinion too.

The Happy Hour menu is varied enough to allow for several tasty choices at excellent prices and the regular menu also is available, where the prices also are not bad. And the food is good. There are even some healthier options on the regular menu, i.e., it's a restaurant - not all typical fried/salty bar food. The reason for this update is on the Staff. They are a very hard-working and friendly bunch. The place can be a madhouse when it is busy, but the Staff are very attentive, and surprisingly efficient in the ordering process, food/drink delivery and in settling up at the end of the night. We sit at a group table where different members come and go and order at different times (requesting separate checks), but the checks at the end of the night are almost always correct and timely. It's a remarkably impressive Staff.

There's a mead for everyone, and even non alcoholic smoothies, if that's your jam. Highly recommend this local business for your mead needs.
