    Went to check out Harpers Ferry with the family and stumbled upon this little slice of heaven. Beers were solid, but the atmosphere was killler, large space with amazing views, live music, and kid friendly.

    This place is amazing! Not only do you get a breathtaking view of the Potomac River, but they offer an abundance of outdoor seating that includes firepits for those colder days/nights. They have a small selection of bar foods, however, I was told food trucks visit regularly. We recieved our food and drinks rather quickly even though they were pretty crowded for a Saturday at opening. They are dog friendly and have a corner where they sell shirts/sweatshirts/hats, We highly recommend and will be returning with our furry family member, Gypsy. Also, we met with one of the team members, Scott, who explained their ziplining, kayaking, and camping options. Great experience all around!

    Inside had several tables, a large bar and a food area that sells pizza. There were also two food trucks. One had burgers and grilled items. The other was sub de Cuba with Latino options. The beer selection was fantastic served nice and cold inside was music and when crowded is extremely noisy, but just step outside to some Adirondack chairs enjoy the beautiful views. I will definitely be coming back.

    "It's in my top 15 best breweries I've ever been to but it definitely has the #1 view." I think I found this place on Yelp 5 years ago while checking for breweries in the area and I was like, "Man, I have to get to this place asap for that view." Well we know what happened 5 years ago and for years after so let's fast forward 5 years and I finally got the chance to experience it. I don't know where to start. I could spend an entire day at this place into the night and sit by that fireplace and look at Harper's Ferry up river. I can only imagine how awesome it was when the Harper House was built up there. To sit in that place and have a glass of whiskey. Damn! I love history and Harper's Ferry and Louden County are overflowing with it. The brewery itself is spectacular and the grounds ever more so. It has plenty of outdoor seating all over the property to enjoy the views of the river and the town itself. We ordered: - Mountain Juice IPA 5/5 - Big Wes Sour 5/5 - Flight: Drop Zone Cider 5/5, Day Hike Cider 5/5, Low Water Lime Lager 5/5, Riverside Kolsch 5/5 We walked up to the counter to order our beers and there were several servers behind the bar waiting for us to order. They were sweet and helpful. I actually told the girl I love IPA's pick one for me and she did a great job. We paid and took our beers outside to enjoy the views up and down the property. We first sat at a picnic table by the fence for a couple minutes before proceeding to walk down to the deck with the best view of Harper's Ferry and took that in for a while before heading back inside because my girlfriend was cold, it was weird weather for late May lol So after finishing our beers we ordered a flight and spinach artichoke dip with chips and sat at a table inside and chatted it up for a bit before heading out. The spinach artichoke dip was just okay but it was overpriced in my opinion for the amount you get plus they give you a small bag of Tostitos chips with it. Either way we enjoyed it because of the vibes. I love this place and we can't wait to come back the next time we are in the area. Pro tip to the owners: I wanted to get a sticker to put on one of my many Hydro Flask's that are loaded with brewery stickers while I was there and there were none to be found. I'd get some stickers made to hand out for free like most breweries do because there is nothing better than free advertising Thanks and Enjoy :D

    Amazing views

    Fantastic views and decent service but that's about it. It shares the parking lot with the adventure center, which is great for allowing extra parking. There is a decent size seating area inside and a large outdoor area overlooking the river. The servers are friendly but the actual menu and process is disjointed- drinks at one place, food at another, merchandise at a third and non alcoholic drinks somewhere in between? The brews are ok. Not terrible but there are definitely better available nearby between Flying Ace, Wheatland Spring and Harvest Gap. The biggest complaint I have is the allowance for smoking. I can maybe understand having a designated outdoor smoking area but allowing it everywhere outside just ruins the place. That alone will keep us from coming back.

    This place has an impressive selection of beers and a few ciders, with something for every palate. I really appreciated how the staff took the time to explain the flavor profiles, made the tasting experience even better. I sampled a few and thoroughly enjoyed them. The pizza was delicious, and the flight of ice cream flavors? Such a fun and unexpected treat! The view is absolutely stunning, truly breathtaking, and the outdoor seating areas are spacious, shaded, and pet-friendly. It's a great spot for families, too. I'll definitely be back for the cider, food trucks, and of course, more ice cream!

    One of the most beautiful brewery I've ever been! The pizzas were awesome and they were made so fast! Love it here.

    A large beer menus and some food. Pizza, pit beef, and Cuban truck. The views from outside are fantastic.

    I mean 5-stars for the views! And for a Friday night at sunset on a beautiful, warm spring day - they still had lots of seating! There was live music and a coveted spot around the fire pit (only like 8 seats! So snag them early if you want that particular spot!) Pizza looked good, but we forgot to order before they close real bummer because we were all hungry, but we're enjoying the beer and views too much to be mindful of the time. Luckily, someone did come around and let us know they were doing last call so we could get one more in before heading back down the mountain. The views are the selling point for sure, but the beer was also very good - styles were the styles they advertised and there was a good selection so you could find something for everyone!

    Beautiful views but just average beer. I loved the atmosphere, lots of outdoor seating with views of Harper's ferry and the river. Plenty of seating. We came in a Monday mid day so it was very quiet. The dew drop sour was just average. I love a good sour but it was just missing its tang for me. Would come back for the views and seating but the beer was just okay.

    Chris G.

    AMAZING views!!!! You have to come here!! Great beer and pizza and other small options to choose from. Service is quick and great also! Parking is easy.

    Stefan S.

    Great atmosphere, great food options and really good service. We had pizza for our food choice but you could get anything from sandwiches to burgers to steamed crabs (they have a food truck with crabs, oysters, shrimp) to ice cream and popcorn amongst many other things. Their beer and cider choices were plentiful. I had a sweet cider that was delicious and perfect. My friend had a couple flights and then some dark beer, which was good for a taste but not my cup of tea. The views here were incredible and being that it was a nice cool day, the shade wasn't needed as much but it sure felt good in the bright sun. There was live music and also some TVs to watch the end of the Olympics as well as the Orioles game. This is a dog friendly brewery anywhere but inside. Highly recommend a visit here, they don't disappoint.

    Ask the Community - Harpers Ferry Brewing

    Can you order food and sit outside? Do you offer mead?

    Hello! Yes, you can order food at our pizza kitchen or at the food trucks (weekends) and eat anywhere outside. We have over 100 picnic tables outside throughout the property and two bar seating areas that are covered. We do not have mead at this… Read more

    Is there plenty of parking available?

    Yes! There's a large parking lot with spillover parking in the grass

    Do they charge to reserve one of the outdoor decks?

    Hello! We do have an hourly rental price for our private outdoor decks and event tents. Please give us a call at (571)420-2161 for more questions and reservation details. Cheers!

    Are you allowed to, or would it be advisable to, bring your own camp chairs? I can see outside seating being scarce in good weather.

    We were able to find seats despite it being very crowded during our last visit which was on a holiday weekend. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to bring chairs.

    Do they have any other alcoholic drinks other than beer?

    I think they have a seltzer.

    Can I bring my own food?

    I would assume so, the brewery and the food trucks seem separate. There aren't waiters so I don't know who would monitor it.

    Do they offer any food?

    Yes they have food trucks on site.

    Is there a food menu?

    We currently have pizza, pretzels, wings, shrimp, popcorn, ice-cream, chips/salsa/guacamole and local baked goods available in our taproom. Our taco truck is open Friday-Sunday and we will be opening a second food truck this Summer! Our menus do… Read more

    Bring your own food?

    No outside food or drink allowed past the front door.

    Is there an access/walkable path from the river? Planning on tubing/kayaking down the Patomac and this would be a perfect stop!

    Yes sir! You have access by hiking and car!

    Can you purchase beer to go, either in growlers or bottles?

    Yep. Crowlers and Growlers. They have both stainless and glass growlers or they'll fill your own.

    Is the brewery dog friendly?

    Outside yes!

    Do you have WiFi?

    Yes

    How does the food here work? Are there any gluten free food or drink options? Thanks!

    Snack bar inside and food truck outside (not sure hours of the trucks - I think during busy times). Not sure about GF options.

    Omgosh! SO delicious. So fresh. And the best customer service. Casa De Avila Tacos is awesome!…read moreHighly recommend! Can't wait to go back.

    I rate restaurants within their category and concept. I am not comparing a neighborhood Mexican…read morerestaurant to a Michelin star fine dining experience. If a place delivers quality food, represents its cuisine well, and exceeds expectations for its setting, that earns a high rating from me. We recently visited Casa De Avila in Leesburg, and I have to start with the horchata because it was truly the star of the meal. I am of Mexican heritage, my mom is Mexican, and I grew up drinking homemade horchata. This one tasted just like it should. It was creamy, clearly made with milk and condensed milk, with that soft sweetness and a gentle hint of cinnamon. It honestly tasted homemade, and that alone made me smile. Now, it is hard for me personally to give most Mexican restaurants 5 stars, and that has more to do with my background than the restaurant itself. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and grew up eating incredible home cooking from my mom, who is an amazing cook. That naturally shapes my expectations. In the DMV area, it has been tough to find truly authentic Mexican flavors. With the exception of La Jarochita, and Mancha Cocina Mexicana, which is more elevated but very well done, good Mexican food can be hard to come by here. All that said, Casa De Avila serves very good food and is probably the best I have found in this category locally. The sopes were made fresh, which makes a huge difference in both flavor and texture. The tacos were solid overall. The asada was very good, well seasoned and flavorful. The al pastor was good, but it did not quite have that deep, traditional flavor you get from proper trompo style preparation. The esquites were also tasty, and the kids loved that they added hot Cheetos. That is a trend we saw in Los Angeles years ago, so it felt fun and nostalgic to see it here. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be about the salsa. The salsa served tasted more like a bottled style Mexican salsa. I would love to see a true house made salsa roja or salsa verde, the kind where you char the tomatoes, tomatillos, chiles, and onions before blending. That deep roasted flavor is such a big part of authentic Mexican cooking and would elevate the whole experience even more. The service was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the staff really helped make the experience even better. Overall, Casa De Avila is doing a lot right. The food is flavorful, the horchata is exceptional, and it stands out in an area where good Mexican food is not easy to find. While my personal background makes me a tough critic, this is still a place I would happily return to. A solid 4 stars.

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.
