We came to Pale Fire Brewing prior to a rehearsal dinner. You can park across the street. I did love the open air concept. There is no table service, but I would expect someone to be able to tell our party of seven the different types of drinks we ordered. With a variation of ipas etc (different shades of brown), it shouldn't just be plopped at the bar for us to guess the drinks. The pretzels were delicious! Pro tip: you get a free glass at check in... but have to ask for it more than once. read more

It was closed for an event the day we stopped. So we picked up beer and left. Too bad because it looked nice inside. Beer was good. Will stop back next time in town. read more

Great beer and good atmosphere. Located in downtown Harrisonburg. We ordered the Pertzel with beer cheese and was excellent. Kimberly the beer tender was polite and served us well!! She also helped us out with where it was okay to park our vehicle while at Pale Fire Brewery. read more

Awesome experience with the extended family. Great food, beer and craft cocktails. Laid back indoor/outdoor space, kid and dog friendly. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Ask for Kimberly! Pizzas are creative and delicious. Soft pretzels with mustard and cheese sauce is the best I've tasted. Can't wait to come back and try the dessert version. read more

Visited one night to watch a band play and we grabbed drinks and food as well. The pizza is really good and they are generous with the sauce. The drinks are little pricey. It can be hard to find seating as well. Customer service was great. read more

This was a stop recommended to me by our Airbnb hosts while visiting Harrisonburg. Unfortunately they are not offering flights during this time, so I was unable to try most of their offerings. If you're an IPA lover, you'll have plenty to choose from. If you're more of a fan of lagers like myself, you'll have a harder time finding something you'll like. I chose the Salad Days saison and my girlfriend had one of their mojito seltzers. The saison itself was much hoppier than I expected, and after drinking many mojitos this past February in Mexico, the seltzer wasn't impressive to me. If they can expand their offerings to include a more well-rounded palate I'd be willing to visit again if I'm ever in the area. read more

A cool brewery to stop for tasty beer! Service was good. The pizza was so much better than I had initially expected. Definitely a place to stop! read more

Traveling with our puppy who was welcomed here. Beer was delicious and the pizza is a perfect pairing.

Great drinks and yummy Detroit pizza. Went here once for a drink and came back for pizza a second time. The menu is small, but you can build your own pizza. I always appreciate having the option for a cocktail at a brewery (thank you!). Staff were friendly and helpful with tips. Loved the indoor and outdoor seating space. read more

Such a cool vibe in here. I love when they have live music nights. I ordered a beer and accidentally spilled it when I got back to the table, and one of the workers refilled it for me, free of charge. It was so nice and very appreciated which made me feel less embarrassed. It's pretty dark in there and can get busy at night, but I would definitely come back read more

Great setting and roomy atmosphere. Excellent beer selections and indoor/outdoor seating! Kitchen opens at 4 so it's dinner only but the pizza selections looked amazing! read more

Came after hiking in Shenandoah. Shared a flight, a large 504 and got the kids a small cheese pizza to share. We definitely could have done a small! Everything was SO good. I loved the Taking Water, my husband liked the Floorwalker. We'll definitely stop the next time we're over this way. If we lived here we'd be regulars. read more

I would definitely recommend a stop at this brewery! We stopped at two others while visiting Harrisonburg. Pale Fire was by far our favorite. I am not a huge beer drinker, so I loved the option for cocktails and wine. My husband enjoyed his beer flight. I wish we had been hungry because the pizza smelled amazing! The decor is cozy with half of the space set up like a living room. The bartender was attentive and very welcoming! read more

We had a great time. Just finished a round of golf and looking for something else to round out the day. Pale Fire Brewing was just the answer. We had a great flight of beer and pizza rounded out by a pitcher of our favorite beer of the day. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. Great place for a good afternoon. read more

Too much beer not enough food choices. Smells bad too. I'm going to have to go for a no eat here recommendations. Cost is moderate. Not recommended for senior citizens. read more

Solid brewery in DTHburg. Beers are priced between $5.50 and $8.00 a pint. Reasonable. As other reviews have noted, most of these beers are pale ales. I had the Arrant, Deadly Rhythm, and the Red Molly. All very delicious, but the Arrant was the winner in my book. Only kicker is that they served it by giving you a glass and a can of the Arrant beer. I can't be the only one who expects a brewery to serve their beer from the tap, right?Maybe it's just me being stuck-up, but I prefer my beer from the tap. And a little bit unfortunate was when I went, a few of the beers were crossed off the beer menu, which kind of sucks because they sounded delicious. Overall, a decent brewery to check out. Nice atmosphere, quality beers, and reasonable prices. read more

Excellent beer and service. I ordered the appetizer sampler and was surprised it was so good. The atmosphere is rustic, with lots of antiques and info. Learn about history while you drink beer. My favorite thing was a beautiful rooster that wandered about. Limited info seating, mostly outdoor seating in a open barn with big fans to keep you cool in the summer. read more

Can't say good or bad ..we were to have family gathering there and without knowing they were closed for private party..so be careful

Local brewery in downtown Harrisonburg. Nice spot with parking right across the street and garage door style windows that can be fully opened. Typically, it's probably a nice feature, but yesterday was quite windy which made sitting inside even a little cool. Beer was okay and glad we got to try it. Always appreciate getting to try local places. read more

Top notch the service and the food and beer was hands down the best. We will be back we got to meet the brewmaster and he offered us a sample of another beer . Very cool . read more

It was the perfect ending to date night! My husband and I popped in on a whim before wrapping up our date night. And I'm so glad we did. From what we tasted, they have some of the smoothest beer I've had in a long time. My husband got the Cream Ale, which was delicious and smooth. I am an Amber Ale kind of girl, so I went with the Red Molly. By far ONE OF THE BEST red ales I think I have ever had. We will be adding Pale Fire Brewing to the list of our favorite breweries. read more

Harassed by the manager! I used to love coming here for trivia! I use my passport as my identification and the "manager" on duty Wednesday night 6/14 refused to serve me stating my passport was expired. Which is was not. I tried to point out the error they were making multiple times before they rudely "pointed out" where I was wrong and then realized they misread, didn't apologize and then chose to harass me further about my passport when I just was just trying to correct them. They still refused to serve me and didn't apologize. I won't be giving my business to pale fire anymore. Very humiliating! read more

First stop on Beerwerks Trail. KIMBERLY awesome! Good luck to the rest of the breweries. Food, beer, and service exceptional.

Great beer with wonderful Detroit-style pizza! We also loved the giant hot pretzel with cheese dip. We were traveling with our dog, and searching for dinner in a rainstorm. The covered patio was a god-send. We had a great dinner with our pup. Excellent service. read more
