I am a frequent visitor of this establishment and always enjoy going, all the servers are VERY and nice, especially during this pandemic. The bartender on the other hand I never even heard of his name. He has red hair and does not wear a mask, just wears a clear "shield" over his mouth. He is very careless and rude. Every time I go into get a drink or just hang out with friends and have dinner all you can hear is him being a complete ass, cursing behind the bar, or even "stuffing his face with food" which is completely gross, shoveling food into his mouth and not even sanitizing his hands after. If you're looking for a place with good food, and beer listing you're at the right place. But bartending service it's a no for me. read more

They've got a great beer list, but when I was there the other day, the bartender (red hair, mustache) had his mask consistently pulled down onto his chin, and I could see some of the kitchen staff did as well. Why even wear it?? It's not like it's a state health department requirement, right? If they can't get the mask thing right, it doesn't make me feel confident in their safe food prep practices. The waitstaff on the other hand were great. This place has potential, but until they make a commitment to protecting the health of their patrons, I can't give any more than two stars. read more

I would recommend this place if you wanted a sports bar and mediocre food. Good selection of beers. Service was very good.

We walked into the bar and there were no signs on whether we sat ourselves or a waitress sat us, so after waiting a few minutes with the waitressEz staring at us we finally sat. We were celebrating two 30th birthday parties, so we immediately ordered four shots of tequilas, and I ordered cheese dip. We got our shots of tequila, two gold and two silver. We took them and all of us immediately noticed that the 'tequila' we were given was 90% water. There was little to no alcohol in the shots at all. Right after that, we decided to go to a restaurant across the street. I had to walk over to the corner where they were checking folks out and tell them to cancel any further drink orders and the order of queso. I explained to them why, but we were still charged for our shots, $7 a piece. I will never come here again. We love supporting local restaurants and breweries, but this was ridiculous. read more

Went in today and place was almost empty. Told to take a seat. Waitress brought water then that was the last we saw of her. Never asked if we wanted drinks. Just ignored us. She walked around and took care of the few people who were there but not us. Also, although it was a college football Saturday, there were no games on any of the TVs. Half of them weren't even on. We left and went across the street to BWW. read more

The Brass Tap - American Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

See all

This place has an incredible beer list. There is something for everyone! The appetizers were good too. The best part about our visit tonight was the staff! They were very accommodating and they were very cautious. Every employee had a mask on and they washed/sanitized everything. Great job! read more

Stopped by to grab a beer. While looking at the taps behind the bar to decide what I wanted the bartender felt the need to bark across the bar at me that they "weren't serving from the bar." I then informed him I just wanted to see the taps, he then felt the need to reaffirm the fact that they weren't serving from the bar, as if I didn't hear him the first time. I decided to take my money elsewhere. If you can't be professional and speak to customers with decorum and respect in F&B it's probably best you find a new industry to work in. read more

Had a dElicious meal on our visit. The menu was full of great choices. Fun atmosphere, Family friendly and walkable to hotel.

Delicious burgers and cool vibe. It's a fun place to hang out with friends or even a a casual date night.

Decided to try the wings and beer. After asking for two different beers on the tap list, I was told they ran out. Bar tender steered me toward a choice that sounded okay. I ordered it and could only stomach about half before giving up. The wings arrived. I tried Korean barbecue and traditional buffalo. The Korean barbecue flavor got a little old after the first two wings and the buffalo sauce was barely intact on the other wings. I can handle both issues but what bothered me the most was the rubbery texture on both types of wings. At the end of my experience I was rewarded with a $25 + bill that just felt like a kick in the shorts. Shame on me for expecting a different result. Bartender was nice but food and drink fell short. read more

First time to this establishment. We were greeted immediately and told to seat anywhere we liked. We sat at a table near the bar. Chris the bartender was quick to bring us menus and take our drink order. The drinks were excellent. We ordered some wings and tator tot poutine. Both food items were hot and delicious. We will definitely go back before we head back to Maryland. read more

Great craft beer selection. Food was very good. Wait staff was courteous and efficient. If gastro pub is what your looking for...two enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

Very disappointed. Food was average at best. Only 1 entree out of 4 served hot. Good choice of draft beer and the waitress was excellent! Probably won't be back. There are too many other choices in Williamsburg. read more

Good food. Good beer selection. Tried Terrapin Luau IPA. Very good. Nice atmosphere.

This place first opened and it was incredible, but as I come back to visit Williamsburg it continues to decline in all aspects.

Great beer/cocktail selection. Good atmosphere. Decent food. Terrible prices. Dinner for 2 and 4 drinks total ran us about $85 before tip.

Been here a few times, and earlier when this business was newer, it was amazing and the owners/managers were so hospitable and generous. Recent trip very mediocre. My friend and I ordered several beers. Most seemed old like the keg had been tapped for too long. Definately did not get the great taste from these beers as I had had when tried elsewhere. Happy hour menu sounded great so tried the cheese quesadilla and the brussel sprouts. I know it is Happy Hour but the portions were very meager, even for the price. Brussel sprouts were crispy and a little too much sear and there was absolutely no seasoning, no salt and no flavor. Cheese quesadilla was a six inch flour tortilla that was not grilled or heated with any color to it and barely had enough cheese to even cover the small tortilla. Salsa was decent, but three or four bites for $12 worth of apps was not good or enjoyable. Bartender was extremely nice but seemed preoccupied with talking to other staff and not very attentive to the few guests at the bar. The whole experience was so much less than when this place was first opened. Sad! read more

Great variety of beer on tap. Staff is helpful. Menu offers wide variety of selections. Burgers are delicious; so is the veggie nachos plater. Good place to have an enjoyable meal. Reasonably priced.. read more

I initially like the place. Drinks were good as was the happy hour food. However, the music was too loud and the acoustics were horrible. Too, too noisy. I like to be able to talk to those at my table, but it was next to impossible. read more

Second time we ordered through Door dash and the second time the order was incomplete, that took my money and shorted me an entire meal. I'm done with them, ordering or done in and you should be too. read more

We walked in and were told to sit anywhere. There was a table that sat dirty the whole time we were here next to us, that we would have liked to sit at but instead we had to sit at a table with the sun shining on all our faces. When we were greeted the server brought us one menu and three glasses of water for our party of five. We weren't offered drinks, but ordered them when we ordered our food. I ordered an appetizer for the table which came at the same time as two entrees. (Silverware and napkins for these items didn't come until after the next two entrees were brought out.) About 10 minutes later, two more entrees were delivered. The fifth entree which was also an "appetizer" item, didn't come til everyone was done with their meals (20-25 minutes after the first meal was delivered). At this point, i said I didn't want it anymore and the server told me she couldn't take it off the bill because the owner wasn't in and offered to box it up instead. I said no, and I asked her to locate someone that was able to remove it off the bill. After another 10 minutes she came back and said she was able to remove the item. It was busy and the restaurant was clearly understaffed so I understand slow service. I don't understand not bringing silverware, napkins, offering drinks, bringing appetizers before meals, bringing all meals together, checking on your table, and instead of saying it can't be done, asking someone first instead of arguing with me about it not being possible. read more

I completely understand that COVID has placed certain restraints on establishments and left many short handed. However, I am extremely disappointed in Brass Tap. I live in newtown and have always loved the prospect of a bar in town with live music and great atmosphere. The past two visits to this establishment have been severely underwhelming. For a family of four we waited over 30 minutes for drinks, 45 minutes for food and even when food did come, it came out one at a time, cold and in one instance was wrong all together. I understand the pandemic threw a wrench in the chain but wish the management had more self awareness to either give their servers more help for limit the amount of workload each server had until they are better equipped. I will not be visiting this establishment any time soon and would recommend the other restaurants/bars newtown/Williamsburg has to offer for the near future. read more
