We ate here last night and the food was phenomenal. I had the chicken focaccia. It was delicious, the chicken was juicy, the sauce complimented the meat and the homemade focaccia was the icing on the cake. My husband tried a some of the on tap beer and was very pleased. The server was friendly and helpful. It was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. read more

Made a stop in after perusing the Old Winchester outdoor mall area and the library up the street. Vibrissa is just around the corner from everything. They have a nice outdoor hangout spot and it's welcoming and spacious inside. Their artwork is Appalachian Trail inspired. Nice and easy everyday kind of beer, tasty bar food, and great assortment of seasonal specials on the menu. Solid choice for killing an afternoon or evening. read more

We've been coming out on Tuesday trivia nights. Vibrissa has a great vibe. When weather's nice they have a great front lawn area for outdoor seating or conversing. The inside is very open and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Our servers have always been very nice and helpful. The food is fine for a brewery. Nothing going to blow you away but definitely step above other bar food in the area. You should join us on trivia nights. They're a lot of fun and you always have a chance to win some prizes! read more

Above and beyond, the best brewery in Winchester! Vibrissa is the place to go for good vibes, solid beer and tasty food. I've been here many times and have never had a bad experience. The servers are always top notch and extremely personable. I usually get the Smash burger and it never disappoints. The location has a style and vibe that no other brewery in the area can match. read more

We came here for a drink during my wife's sister's 21st birthday!! They had so many amazing seasonal drinks, and the venue was beautiful! We sat outside around the fire and the servers will come out there and check in on you! Definitely need to comeback here when we are in town! read more

The Death by Chocolate is a unique and special beer. Like drinking dessert. Not too sweet. Not bitter like standard stouts. We love this place every time we go. The nachos are a hit and my "non-sourdough" wife loves the sour dough pizza crust and sandwiches. read more

I sure do miss the last chef. The food is so mediocre now that the prices do not make sense. $5 for wet, crumbled, unseasoned tofu.. not even salt was added! To call that tofu scramble is a full on scam, a whole block of tofu is only $2 at the store, they did absolutely nothing to it besides crumble and warm it. I was expecting kala namak(black salt) for eggy flavor, nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper at least if not some chopped onion, tomato, bell pepper, like ANYTHING! The food used to be so good. Sad to see this place as not an option anymore when it's only a 2 minute walk from home. The home fries didn't even taste seasoned. The sourdough bread was good and the veg was fresh, the only positives really. Their Blackbird Foods seitan tacos and apple pizza will live on in memory. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Vibrissa yesterday from start to finish!! The food, drinks and service were fantastic. Our server Aubrey was very friendly, gave us delicious food recommendations and was very attentive throughout our entire meal. She went above and beyond to make sure our drinks were always fresh and our food was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes as well. They were beginning music bingo when we were leaving and it seemed so fun. Try the Brussel Sprouts, they're amazing. My Martini was top notch. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Cali Chicken sandwich was very good, we started out with pretzel and since no pictures I will post read more

Last experience with the Front Royal location years ago was less than stellar. Last night's visit to the Winchester location was great. Huge venue with a lot of seating. Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good and came out quickly. It's also nice having a full bar option in a brewery setting. This visit gives me confidence in the brand again. read more

Have been coming here for years. Great beer selection. Every time my husband and I go we always get great service when Jesse is around. Anytime we go and see he is working we know we will be well taken care of! Overall a great place and great vibes. read more

The burger was magnificent and the beers were also. Service was on point and they were a packed house. Well done. I wish other public food and drink establishments could be the same. read more

Stopped by for a quick beer before heading back to DC. This is such a great spot in the heart of Winchester. It has an impressive amount of space and options for seating. Whether you want to sit outside with your pup by the fire pit, on a couch cozying up to your date, at a high top or at the bar, there's something for everyone! They have a wide array of drink options from beer to cocktails to nonalcoholic drinks. They have food - which we'd love to try on another trip. They also have a coffee shop inside! There was some sort of event going on while we were there and looked to be catered. They've got tons of cute merch too! They were busy when we were there so it took a little bit to get someone's attention at the bar but then we realized there were QR codes at the tables outside after the fact. Something we should have assumed at this point, but wasn't sure since it was our first visit. Overall, great experience! read more

Local brewery with a great menu. Great space located in the former Winchester Star newspaper space with amble outdoor seating as well. Delicious pizza! Sourdough pizza crust is next level. So good. Friendly service too. read more

We were in town for the night and got this recommendation. So glad we went, great vibe sat outside and fire pit going and friendly patrons too. The collard greens salad was so fresh and creative that upon getting home I bought myself some greens and am going to recreate the dish. read more

My mom and I stopped here for lunch today and let's just say we have a new favorite spot! We shared the fried shrimp appetizer, beet hummus, and bleu buffalo pizza. Everything was delicious and well presented. Service was fantastic; staff were helpful without making you feel rushed. It's a very chill place and we loved the outdoor seating. Will definitely be back soon! read more

We sat outside and am glad we did as the inside was very dark and barren. Also, had a peculiar smell. Maybe that was the beer brewing., Waitress was nice but there was some mix up with the kitchen and one of our party's order was omitted. When the food finally arrived with great apologies, it was comped. Food was mediocre. My salad basically consisted of a big bowl of mixed greens with some shrimp strewn on the top. Would not go back. read more

First time coming here visiting from Pennsylvania. Had the blue jay sandwich and It was fantastic fabulous amazing! The service was awesome as well! And their beer was pretty definitely good! Definitely a must go to brewery! read more

Came here for the first time and had a really great experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, and everything came out quickly. Jeshua was friendly and welcoming which made it even better. They also have a really nice outdoor area that's perfect for sitting and enjoying your food when the weather's good. Overall just a chill spot with good vibes :) I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The beers were excellent. Great atmosphere and very dog friendly. The pups had a fun time playing in the patio area. Loved the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. We will return to try other beers and food. read more

This is a great brewery/restaurant with actually good beer and food. It's well managed and service is great! The Scout stout was delicious as were several of the others I sampled. Don't miss the sours! Food is burgers, pizza, sandwiches, etc with a good assortment of appetizers and choices. I enjoyed a well balanced Reuben sandwich and my girl had the burger Royale. Burger was excellent and the sweet potato fries are fantastic! Ambience is nice although it can be loud. Cozy seating and lots of outdoor seating too. We will be back! Best brewery/restaurant in Winchester for sure read more

We came in blind from the West Coast. So glad we chose Vibrissa Beer. Great service, great food. Had a reception for 45 and it was flawless.

The food was delicious!!! Rodeo Smash Burger and Figgy Piggy Pizza - highly recommend. Death by Chocolate Stout and the Red Ale were also excellent. Also love the decor and music selection. read more

Great beer, awesome service. This would be 5 star if the food was a bit better. Got the pork belly Bao Buns, and they were amazing, but the veggies on them should have been pickled. Mine were simply julliened, the sweet and slightly spicy pork belly would have been top notch with just a hit of acid from pickling. Daikon would have complimented the mix of cukes and carrots famously too. Love this place. read more

Great service and food. On site parking a plus, friendly staff. Only issue is extremely noisy.

I'm really not sure what makes a Brewpub / Coffee House a 4 or 5 star, but I know good beer and good coffee. This morning the wife and I checked out Doppio Bunny at this location. JEREMY was awesome. Kind, professional, engaging--and made us a couple marvelous coffee and tea beverages, respectively. Outstanding experience, as our 25-year-old daughter had already raved--and really why we checked it out. Oh, almost forgot--the "homemade" Blueberry muffin was A-MAZ-ING too! So, yes, this is primarily a brewpub with great food but also an excellent coffee house. What a phenomenal joint-venture of sorts. Enjoy! Cheers to craft beer and coffee. read more

Great spot. Very good beer and outstanding service. A well curated selection of beers. They never seem to have more than a dozen, and the rotating selections are largely seasonal with a few "evergreen" selections as well. Last time we went we enjoyed the Polo (Czech Amber), the Feierbier (Festbier), the In the Cut (Kellerbier), and the Sundial (Wheat Beer). All were extremely tasty and crisp. The Polo and the Sundial in particular were noteworthy, damn fine beers. I've seen Vibrissa sold in Northern Virginia stores, and for good reason. The food is largely what you'd expect from a brewery (burgers, wings, pizzas) BUT with a few more diverse offerings tossed in as well. Last time we went they also had a few Oktoberfest items. We always go with the Braushaus Tots, the homemade beer cheese will take a year off your life...but it's worth it. What makes Vibrissa "repeatable" though is the service, which is exceptional; the crew is extremely polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. The crew also seems to be tight with the community; they were hosting a local fundraiser for a senior living facility the last time we went. Love to see that. read more

We had a nice lunch at Vibressa. They have a huge outdoor patio with a fire pit for colder days and gazebos to provide shade on warmer days. The beer is decent (we tried the wit beer and the one that won an award). We also got the pizza special. The dough was nice and thin but the sauce was way too salty. So I'd give the food 3 stars but the ambiance and beer 4 stars. read more

I love this place. You almost choose how you want your experience to go. You can order completely from your phone and have it delivered - including alcohol. Or you can be waited on at a table or bar. The courtyard is very popular and sometimes hard to get seating in but the inside is perfectly fine. Lots of TVs to catch the game and the beer is amazing. Plus they have a wonderful grab and go beer cooler for anything you want to pick up after work or take home for later. read more

Just had supper at this delightful establishment! We're passing through Winchester on our way to NYC, and went looking for a local brewery with a kitchen. We could not have done better! We each did flights, and each sample was delicious. We ordered the Voodoo Shrimp, and OMG! And the Hot Honey Pizza was perfect. The ambience was very laid back (Sunday evening, perhaps), and the wait staff was superb-friendly, helpful and very cordial. If we lived nearby this would be a regular stop for us. read more

Ambiance was fantastic, our food and beer were DELICIOUS, and Jesse, our waiter, was so awesome. He gave us great recommendations and was so sweet to my kids. He never seemed like he was in a rush. There were also gluten free options for my celiac son. He said it was the best burger he has ever eaten in his life, and he has had many burgers. I hardly ever leave Yelp reviews but this place is special, I 100% recommend! read more

The atmosphere was great, drinks were really good, the servers were nice as well. My only complaint is the menu is limited, so I was quite surprised when I ordered a burger and it was terrible! Honestly, McDonald's could've done it better. The patties were extremely dry and overcooked. I just feel like if you can't do a burger, right somethings definitely wrong on the kitchen. read more

Stopped by on a Thursday night while traveling. The whole experience was great! The food was delicious, the choice of beers was great, the service was excellent, the space was nice, and even parking was easy to find. I will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

I ordered the hot honey soppressata pizza. My friends order the Cuban and the Reuben. We also ordered beer flights. I am a sour lover, and really recommend the pucker punch Wildberry. The pizza was good we ordered the quesadilla, which I really recommend for an appetizer. The Cuban was OK but I would recommend getting a side of honey mustard instead of the reg mustard. Rueben was good. read more

Very good food. Fun place to be. Not 100% sold on the service. Many, many employees there, no idea what we they were all doing. We were a bit slow in getting service. Never got some of the food we ordered. Waiter Was blaming the kitchen staff. We are the customers, you are all one company. Take ownership and move on! We certainly give them a second chance when in the area. read more

Coffee... great space to start your day. Doppio Bunny is a great addition to the neighborhood. Plenty of free parking next to the building in downtown. Not a huge selection - just the classic coffee drinks made well. Friendly staff. Vibrissa Beer is always a nice spot for later in the day. read more

Good food and fun atmosphere. Plenty of other drinks if you don't like beer. A little too tasty to sit outside tonight. read more

I have enjoyed eating and hanging at the Front Royal location, finally was able to enjoy the Winchester location... The space is really nice. Lots of parking, that's a plus in Nuevo Winchester. Staff was awesome. Plenty of places and spots to sit, inside and outside. Very relaxed and chill place... My friend enjoyed the vegan menu options. I had a Southwest salad and a burger. Can not complain. Will return. Highly recommended. (PS: The 85 word minimum is not BS...) read more
