We chose Patch Brewing as they were along our drive between Charlottesville and Washington and…read moreespecially because they are members of an RV hospitality program so we were able to spend the night after our dinner. This was a fabulous evening, arriving at around 5:30 pm to a packed parking lot but the inside was not at all busy. A few folks at their dart boards but most people were outside for "Music Bingo" and that gave us choices to be comfortable. David at the bar was a delight, taking and filling orders. Mrs. K. and I chose our drinks and meals. I very much enjoyed my Very Italian Pilsner and later the Lemicky Light Lager. We dove into a Cowboy Bill Burger, onion rings, cheese curds and perfectly seasoned fries. It was all the food groups and delicious. I'd say my only complaint is that they closed this evening at 8. If they were open until 9, I would have stayed longer and had another beer. Still, it was a lovely time and an easy five star review. [Review 1106 of 2026 - 1555 in Virginia - 26285 overall]

We met with another couple for an afternoon of live Irish music and we weren't disappointed…read more We tried several of the beers, ciders and wines. I really would recommend a non-ipa beer "Chesterfield Secret Voyage", which has a high alcohol content. It was a nice smooth drinking malty brew! The staff at the counter were friendly and knowledgeable. We tried several sandwiches. Enjoyed the fried Chicken sandwiches which came with a side. We got the onion rings. Each sandwich was $13 which we felt was a bit overpriced but the food was good. The hot dog is $8 plus $1.50 for chili and cheese plus another $.50 for a tiny sprinkle of onions. The bun was hard and broken. Wife felt that she should have returned it and was way overpriced. The inside beer area was clean and roomy but very loud. They have a few arcade games and the kids were screaming.

We spent a Sunday afternoon, from about 1-3pm, at Everleigh Vineyards…read more We were greeted and served by two very friendly women behind the bar. Both helpful with tips on what to order from their beer and wine options based off what we told them of our tastes. The grounds and building were very well kept. We chose to sit outside so our kids could run around (6 kids between us and our friend's family). They tried to light a fire for us, but that was the one downfall: all the fuel was wet from recent rain I think, so the fire never really took and we just had smoke for a while and no warmth or flames to enjoy watching. But they tried! We enjoyed all the wines we sampled, and went home with one bottle. All that I tried were dry, well-bodied and smooth. My husband only found the beer so-so, so next time we go he'll probably stick to the wines that he also enjoyed from tasting my flight. The soft pretzels are huge, delicious and delivered hot and fresh. The cheese sauce for dipping them was really tasty and much better than most cheese sauce offered for soft pretzels elsewhere. The staff was very courteous, offering us blankets as it was chilly outside and they saw the fire wasn't thriving. We are only 25 minutes from them, and we'll definitely go back; we were very happy with our visit!

Extremely disappointing ending to what should have been a very special day…read more My husband and I were celebrating our 60th birthdays, and our daughter planned a surprise gathering for us at Cooling Pond. We had absolutely no idea anything was planned. We walked in and were completely surprised to see our family and friends waiting for us. It meant so much to us, and we were having a wonderful afternoon. Our group was small and everyone was purchasing drinks and supporting the food truck. For approximately the first two hours, we essentially had the indoor space to ourselves. Even later in the afternoon, there were only a few other groups and plenty of open tables and available space. From what I personally observed, no one was waiting for a table and our group was not lingering or preventing other paying customers from having somewhere to sit. That is why I was so confused when things suddenly changed toward the end of our celebration. Our tables began being cleared even though members of our group were still there, still drinking purchased beverages, and still paying customers. Personal decorations and belongings were being moved, koozies were removed from glasses, and unfinished drinks were being cleared. Things then became extremely uncomfortable between Lori Pope, the co-owner/event coordinator, and our daughter. I did not personally witness every moment of their interaction, so I will only speak to what I know. I saw how upset our daughter and family became, and several relatives who were present told me they witnessed Lori repeatedly aggressively poking/touching our daughter during the confrontation. What had been such a happy celebration ended with everyone quickly gathering our belongings and leaving because we no longer felt welcome. Only afterward did I learn that our daughter had contacted Cooling Pond months in advance, spoken directly with co-owner John about the gathering, and followed up in writing. Lori then messaged me directly afterward, stating that she hadn't known about our gathering and describing what happened between herself and John as a "total miscommunication." Whatever communication problem occurred between the owners was internal to their business. It should never have resulted in our family of paying customers being treated this way. To make the ending even more upsetting, two personal commemorative glasses from our birthday celebration were missing after our hurried departure. We contacted the brewery afterward hoping they would be found and saved for us. My husband and I live locally and had enjoyed Cooling Pond before, which makes this particularly disappointing. We weren't taking over a crowded establishment or occupying space other customers needed. We were a small group celebrating, purchasing food and drinks, and enjoying time together in a venue that had plenty of available space. I am incredibly thankful to our daughter and everyone who came to surprise us. They made our 60th birthdays very special despite how the afternoon ended. Unfortunately, after this experience, my husband and I do not plan to return. As local customers, there are too many other businesses we can support where our family will hopefully feel welcomed, appreciated, and treated with respect.
