The food and beer was great! We had burgers, fries, and house beer. The house beer was really good and only $5. We were in the foundry area, which seems like it would be a fun spot when there is live music. There's a stage and lights and a bar. However, the layout is extremely confusing, there's several areas with different names and different stuff? There's a taproom, showroom, the foundry, an arcade style area. read more

Ordered a smash burger on a Friday around 5:30pm and the bun was cold and unappetizing. You could feel the chill on the top bun. Very disappointing. The burger patty was fine. Fries - lukewarm and I even picked up the food immediately upon getting the text notification. In the past I've ordered pizzas on Tuesdays during trivia and those were solid. Maybe I'll stick to the pizzas and skip on the burgers. read more

6th lord has been my favorite beer since I tasted it years ago. This place grows in all the best ways to expand their amazing taste in all things and expand the community. Such a great group from the top down I look forward to see what they do next. Also the foundry is better than any Virginia venue and the showroom has some amazing cocktails with a story. read more

The beer was OK. The food service was TERRIBLE. I ordered a pizza - it was last Friday, August 8, a busy night. After waiting for 1 1/2 hours, I went to the pick-up area to ask when my pizza would be ready. I was confronted by someone (scraggly brown/grey beard, I suppose he was the kitchen manager) who told me I was slowing down the service by asking about my pizza! As if it was MY fault the process was taking so long! This guy has a lot to learn about customer service. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, the pizza was finally ready - when I was about to leave without it, despite having paid in advance. And it wasn't that good. If you like local craft beer and (here's another thing) don't mind deafening music, prohibiting conversation, and if you don't mind waiting an inordinate time for mediocre pizza, try Basic City. Otherwise, find another place. read more

I love that Waynesboro has an actual brewery!! Basic City is located on the East side of the town and at the foot of the mountain. It's a beautiful location with indoor/outdoor seating. The decor is basic and beautiful and they also offer tours to their showroom!! The service is great and food is very yummy!! I highly recommend to visit this place, you don't want miss out on great food and beer. read more

Beer was very good. Wings where phenomenal. Wife got a smash burger wich she said was very good too. The atmosphere of this place put it over the top. Id recommend this one for a fun night out! read more

The beer and the space at Basic City are great, but unfortunately, our experience with the food ruined our visit. The wait to receive our order was extremely long (it was obvious that other patrons were frustrated by the food wait time, as well), and when it was finally ready, we couldn't believe what was served to us. The quesadilla was so black and burnt that it was inedible. We also ordered a hummus platter for $13.99, but all that was provided was a single cup of hummus with nothing else. The bartender was helpful in taking the food back and submitting a replacement order, but then began another wait. Finally, after being at the brewery for two hours with no food, we decided to call it quits. The bartender was understanding and didn't charge us for the food, and we really enjoy their beer, so those are the only reasons I can provide 2 stars. read more

I love this brewery for so many reasons! The beer is great, staff is friendly, and the place is HUGE! The indoor areas go on and on with new surprises through each door including arcade games, comfy couches, TV's, and a music venue. They also have an outdoor patio with plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas. We got the homemade onion dip which was DELICIOUS. The pizza was just OK in my opinion but my partner really liked it. Oh and they allows dogs indoors! read more

Go here! Beers are amazing! We did a flight each, with four options a piece and a 4 ounce of water glass included in each. They charge based on the individual beers you choose, ranging from $2.25 to $2.75. I appreciate the fairness in the pricing. We ordered a brisket to share as well. There are a couple of appetizers options (pretzel and nachos), bbq sandwiches, and pizza/flatbread options as well. The space is fun and beautiful. Outside are many tables and lighting to enjoy the space. It has snow earlier in the week, so we stayed inside. The space is very relaxed with a ping pong table and games to choose from. We took a spot and worked on our drinks. The DIPAs were all top notches for us. The red was good, though not as notable as the others. Our buzzer beeped and we grabbed our sandwich. The brisket style was cut more like pulled pork. It was the second time that we ordered brisket in the area and found something similar. The flavor was good, the coleslaw helped balance out the slow cooked meat. The sandwich came with regular potato chips, which we used as palate cleansers with each new beer we tried. They have lots of cans for sale and also carry Blue Ridge kombucha. Check it out! read more

Basic City Beer - Water included! - Breweries Near Me - Waynesboro, Virginia

Had to order food and drinks at the bar, left phone number to get text when food was done. Bartenders seemed to care less that you were there. Had to pick your own food from the back of the place. Fries were cold and food left unattended on a counter. After finishing meal, and heading out. No, one said thanks for coming in or even acknowledge you were there. read more

Little gem of a spot in Waynesboro. Extensive beer list, plenty of room for crowds inside and out. Beer garden is dog friendly- and the kiddos will have a blast in the arcade. Fun date night for live music - limited food options, recommend eating dinner somewhere else if you want something substantial. read more

This place is really cool! We were staying in Waynesboro after a day on Skyline Drive, and wanted some fun and beer. We lucked out, because there was a really good band there that night. There are 3 bars to choose from, and the beer selection and taste is great! They have cocktails and fancy bourbon drinks as well, and even a cigar selection. This place was a bit noisy in the main arena area, because of the band and the large crowd, but it is easy to visit the tasting room for showroom if you want a quieter environment. The service was great, and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

Great beer, good food, dog friendly - what more could we ask for!? We came here after some hiking in Shenandoah. read more

Met my nephew and his wife here on a Saturday to catch up some. It is a good middle location for a meet up. There is adequate parking around back. There used to be some in the front but it is now outdoor seating. We had a flight and a few beers. The Daily Pils is a nice light beer. We went after the state started opening things up so it was not nearly as fun or nice as my first visit. There was a food truck as well. I will go back but not until things are more back to normal. read more

Looks like a fun place. There was a private party so we didn't get to use the pool tables but we had a few very tasty beers and got a flimsy but palatable pizza and enjoyed ourselves on our stop in. read more

Stopped by after walking the nearby Blue Ridge Tunnel for a few drinks and a bite. The Sicilian Lemon Gelato is one of the best sours I've had and I'm so sad that I couldn't get a growler to bring home! The kids enjoyed the pool tables and arcade games. We ordered chips, fries, and pretzels for all and picked it up at The Foundary next door. Snacks were perfect, though the fries were super salty. We had a great time! read more

What a fun brewery!! We came here with friends who said the food was fabulous ( even for a brewery!) Atmosphere (5/5): I would give this a 10 if I could!! Skee ball machines! Plenty of room to spread out! Indoor air con and outside seating available! Service (3/5): No service, walk up only (a bit of a wait, both in line and to get the food) Food (5/5): Delicious!!! Everything we tried was amazing- from the Tator kegs (appetizers) and the coconut shrimp po-boy! The food is delightfully presented in such a fun, creative way! Oh - and the beer was amazing!! read more

Wonder atmosphere and enjoyed it during my stay in Waynesboro. It is a converted former factory with a brewery, a concert hall, restaurant, private spaces and lots of parking. Staff were pretty friendly. They have a huge TV screen for sports watching. While I was there I enjoyed a free concert too. read more

What a great spot! We stopped in on Saturday and had lunch and beer, kiddos in tow. We tried 4 different beers while here, a few DIPAS and a dark lager; ate a great lunch; and heard fantastic live piano tunes. Amazing visit is an understatement. The kids had a cheese pizza and it was perfect for them. The crust was nice a doughy but crisp. We had an app and sandwiches from The Showroom. The app was a goat cheese with fruit compote on crackers and baguette rounds. It was a huge serving for $10. For sandwiches I had the High Hog which was full of meat! And pesto and fig too. He had the redneck Reubenesque and it was also full of meat and deliciousness. Both came with sliced dill pickles and the bread was nice and crispy fresh. My one complaint is that it is a bit disconnected feeling, but in talking to the staff that is being worked out. I can't wait to visit again. Seriously. It's that awesome. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon after a morning hike, and this place was perfect. We didn't need a reservation and found a picnic table with no problem. We enjoyed the charcuterie board, a prosciutto and arugula pizza, and a sausage and mozzarella pizza. All 3 were DELICIOUS. the charcuterie board came with 2 cheeses, 3 meats, a rosemary flatbread, and mini pickles. Between the 5 of us, it was all perfect. And the beer was great too!! read more

Food disappointing on a Saturday afternoon. The nachos left allot to be desired. Your option is either beans/corn or pork. We chose pork b/c we were hungry. There were a few wisps of pork, melted cheese, jalapeños and chips. $14. read more

We arrived at Basic City Brewery just after it opened for the afternoon. The bartender/owner was very friendly and welcomed us in. The facility was new and very clean. It had a large game room with vintage arcade games. There is a large area behind the brewery where you can string up a hammock (your own or you can borrow one from the brewery) and enjoy a pint! What a fantastic idea! I had four samples in my flight; all were well balanced and great drinkers: The Coach Tim, Phaethon Amber, Oopsroch, and Grin Stout. I highly recommend these. The manager poured a couple free samplesof other beers but I forgot to write them down. All were excellent! One thing to know about Basic City, it is downhill from the edge of US Highway 250 so it can be hard to spot. It is on the right as you head east on US 250, heading out of town. read more

I tried two different beers. They were both excellent. Great staff and ambiance, too. They have indoor and outdoor tables.

Top notch service atmosphere and beer! It was really good and family friendly. We will be back for sure and next time try the brick oven pizza we hear from others that it's very tasty and it looked very tasty. read more

Went there Saturday to play shuffleboard for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The awesome bartender even cleaned the table for a fresh game for us "serious" players. We were disappointed that we missed getting a pizza when the kitchen closed at 9 but great experience otherwise. read more

So this brewery was a delightful surprise. We tried quite a few different beers. They were all super smooth and delicious! I usually don't care for IPAs but theirs are super drinkable. The chocolate port was amazing and perfect for a fall day! We also ordered a pizza. It was ok. It was a little bland and the middle was a little soggy.. But it paired with the pizza nicely. My advice for the pizza is better cheese and more seasonings in the sauce. But the beer was perfect! read more

We went shortly after the brewery opened and we were not impressed but due to others telling us how great they were, first we tried the Richmond location which has a limited selection and this week the Waynesboro location. Visiting on a Wednesday afternoon, we were surprised how busy they were. It may have been because it was during a holiday break, but there were lots of people enjoying all the of games and activities. My husband and I each had one beer, which we enjoyed, then took a growler to go. I only gave this visit a 4 star rating as it was a bit cold inside and we didn't get a chance to try the food. What we saw looked good, so I hope on a return visit to get the whole experience and upgrade my rating. read more

Can't say enough great things about this spot. First time going and the staff was super helpful on explaining how and where to order everything. I consider myself a nacho connoisseur and these are some of the best I ever had. There were toppings all the way through and actually more toppings than chips, super rare. The beer was amazing. Staff suggested we try a few to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Again, great service, amazing food, fantastic beer and great ambiance. read more

Actually felt like I was in the cafeteria of a prison. when trying to order my beer. I've been to other breweries during this COVID thing but this place takes it too a whole different level of dictatorship. Plus over priced beer I can't even test first. ( no samples Not the law but their new rule ) That is there choice to not to give a testing. I ended up getting a pint of beer for 6 dollars but then went to Bennys and was allowed to test the beer. Ended up getting the same beer at Bennys for 2.00 less with out feeling like I was in jail. read more

The last three 3 times we've been there the food is getting worse and worse, we waited over an hour for a crappy pizza , degornio would have a lot better and the beer is not far behind in quality and taste. Guys you need to get your act together and quick. The combination of the two are going to put your company out of business. On there on Saturday , the woman and man behind the bar you had to call them to get a beer, way to much bullshitting between the people working there and ignoring their customers. I think your brewery is starting to walk a fine line toward destruction. read more
