The chicken biscuit I ordered was out of the park for me. However, we came back the very next day, around 3 pm.... Could not get service to save our lives. Sat at almost the exact same place at the bar. Bartender asked for my order, and then had to ask for it again after 5 mins. Finally brought it to me, but we had continued frustrations with the check service. No one would grab our card and so we dropped cash and left. So confusing after we'd had such a good time the night before. 4 stars bc the service and food on Friday was actually really good.

There are three levels - the second level has seats and still a great view. The beer lines were busy but quick and there were plenty of cocktail, beer, cider options available. Coat check is available for only $2. The staff were all friendly - we were even given free tickets to the show the night before to see Blackberry Smoke by just simply passing by on our walk to dinner. The venue is located right in the center of the downtown mall so there are plenty of places to grab a drink or food before/after a show. It's only an hour from Richmond so worth the drive!

They have lots of options, and some local taps. Who needs liquor, am I right? (Although, there's a few bars nearby If you're so inclined to grab a stiff drink before) I went to hear Joslyn & The Sweet Compression with Michael Coleman (Free Union). The set was great, all I can say is follow them. True talent.

They really broke it out and delivered with the 12 epic musicians onstage collaborating. I will say that the new 'COVID friendly' format with the musicians spread over 3 weekends detracted from the festival vibe. With such a late start each day, camping onsite doesn't give you better access. Fewer bands, fewer vendors, and fewer food options as well... altho the food was great! Hoping for a return to the full day of music!

I went to LockN the first year they held it. I don't think ANYONE expected the kind of turnout it…read morereceived! I heard reports that the count was at 60,000 people that year! It has certainly calmed down a bit, and I hear that it's much more family friendly. But that first year was absolutely amazing. Don't get me wrong, there were tons of kids there, but as a parent, please be aware that if you're going with kids, you absolutely have to keep your eyes on them 100% of the time, they could easily get lost with that kind of turnout. I stood at a high point that first night, and I watched everyone milling around like ants on a lawn, it was like watching ants (except people were wearing glow stick necklaces, which made it even cooler). Truly amazing. I think the music was the best that first year too. Food vendors everywhere! The variety was unreal. The porta potty system was as expected, rough! But I gotta say they certainly tried!! Never seen so many porta potties in my life One of these days I will certainly go back when the music lineuo changes a bit. Hasn't been my music taste for a few years. But everyone reading, you should certainly go for the experience. Just be safe!

We even got the 7 layer chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert which was really rich but good. They had a live band which was cool playing smooth jazz.

The tasting experience is well priced and I would definitely recommend. I ended up having a cheese board in the library which was well worth the cost. Overall one of my favorite wineries in Virginia
