This is one our all time favorite places to eat in Charlottesville. The food is out of this world. Lots of the food is made from local ingredients. Our server was an absolute delight and guided us through both the beer and the food menu. You must, must, must put Beer Run on your list of best eats in Charlottesville! read more

Found this place on yelp when visiting Charlottesville,Va on an overnight . We were wowed . Sat in cozy outdoor tent , service was excellent . Friendly playful wait staff. Seems to be a popular spot with the locals. Don't let the name fool you - this is not a bro hangout - it has sophisticated menu . There's a nice size bar inside which is also a shop that carries beers and wine. They have over 1000 beers. They have a happy hour. We had delicious pierogi appetizer. And roasted golden beet salad that had spinach couscous, the beets ,pickled onions, shaved apple ,Feta cheese, pistachios with a sumac vinegar that was delicious. I'm still trying to replicate it. And I had the turkey trot sandwich, which was so good .One of the things I saw on the menu was an apricot chutney with carrots and the waitress brought me a complementary little side to taste it. It was so good. We had a really really nice dinner here. read more

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon in July around 12:30 PM. It was not very busy. There is inside and outside seating. We chose to sit inside at the bar. We were immediately greeted by a bartender, and she gave us menus. We talked about the beers on tap and tried a few before deciding on the Freestone Walker Union Jack IPA. I had the local burger (which is smashed now) and frites (potato wedges not fries as I found out later). My spouse had the Turkey Trot. The burger was cooked too long so the edges were very dry. The frites were very thick wedges so they were not crispy like fries. The Turkey Trot had good flavor but the bread was so thick it overwhelmed the sandwich. The service was very good as was the beer but we were not impressed with our food selections. read more

DO NOT LET THE NAME DISTRACT YOU, Beer Run is a unique beer emporium covering for a fine but casual dining experience. The claim to fame is over a hundred craft beers on tap and in bottles and cans. All good, but the food is outstanding and the service top shelf. We especially enjoyed the burrata with fresh heirloom tomatoes and balsamic reduction. The midsummer chicken and chicken pot pie were terrific. The lava cake was the perfect way to wrap up a wonderful evening. read more

Stopped in for brunch. We've visited before on several occasions. They sat us @ a table for two outside right away. Only one problem, our table was right next to the door inside where the servers blasted to and from about 1000x during our meal. There were other empty tables available throughout our time there. Why sit us at possibly the most distractingly inconvenient location on the premises? Moving onto the food, my shrimp and grits brunch entree was more or less an abomination. How do you ruin a brunch staple? Serve a bone dry grit cake rather than grits, for one. Over cook an over easy egg to hard, while we're at it. Serve the dish dry as the Sahara and at room temp. Nothing about this dish worked. I found myself craving a sauce, or condiment, of any kind, anything to add moisture. Speaking of beverages, I suspect our $12 Bloodys were absent one vital ingredient: liquor. We order or make Bloodys at home every weekend. These were noticeably absent vodka. Did they forget to add it? Who knows. Both of us agreed there's no way our drinks had anything over maybe a splash of vodka in them. Did I mention they were $12? Lastly, my partner ordered the brisket special and received the brisket hash instead, a similar dish but not exactly the same. We only mentioned it to the waitress when we were charged for the slightly lite expensive of the two. I used to love this place for weekend brunch. We hadn't been a good while. Boy have things apparently gone down hill. Sad to say it, but I think this one's in the naughty list for me for a good long while. Maybe we'll check back again in a few years. Bruncher beware! read more

After a quick late afternoon of apple picking, we dropped in for dinner in Charlottesville per recommendation. This casual bar & restaurant also offers an extensive beer and wine selection for consumption on the premises or for retail purchases. Like I said, we came in for dinner. I had the Pigs In A Blanket. This appetizer/shareable plate was NOT some frozen corn dogs. It was better. 2 foot-long hotdogs cut in half and wrapped in a pastry that was a cross between thin puff pastry and Phyllo, sprinkled with everything seasoning. It came with ketchup and mustard for dipping. I didn't even try the ketchup, but the mustard was awesome. The hubby ordered the Basque Half Chicken. It was like Hanna Montana... the best of both worlds. Part chicken breast, part dark meat with skin over mashed potatoes. It you're familiar with afrittata but with chicken. For me, it needed a little salt, but I didn't add any on it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Menu had lots of options that you don't see everyday - like the Korean chicken and waffle which was surprisingly good! Our waiter was so nice and helpful (I wish I remembered their name) and so was the hostess. Love the variety of offerings in addition to beer and wine since I don't drink. The coffee was really good! So glad our family took us there while we were visiting. read more

Stopped in for some wine and the new menu. Always happy with the wine and happy hour. It's a great go to spot. The current new menu is amazing! I got the Shrimp Aglio e Olio and my friend got the Salmon Risotto and we got the frites to share. My shrimp plate was perfection. The shrimp was juicy and the flavor in the noodles was *chef kiss. We sat at the bar and the service was quick and the bartender was attentive! Highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat. read more

I love this place. In town from Philadelphia for a wedding, I popped by on a Friday afternoon while my fiance was at the salon. Amazing selection, great prices, helpful service. Menu looked (and smelled!) great although I wasn't dining. Had two drafts, both excellent and ones I had never had before. Bought a ton of awesome stuff, and was even able to get a nice bottle of prosecco to take to the party the next day. Would be a regular if I was closer, but man, what a great spot! read more

Few places on this rock can match just the sheer amount of alcoholic beverage options this place can provide. Like you name the country, state, hell maybe even county and I think they have a beer from that location. That being said even there food stands out which totally took me off guard. I was fully content on this being a beer place but now a whole new world of possibilities have opened. I wish the location was a tad better and the outdoor seating was not a parking lot. BUT they are making due with what they have and totally crushing it. Would come here again. read more

Checked out this place for dinner and it did not disappoint. Sat on the outdoor patio and enjoyed the plants and flowers they have out there. We had a small plate of nachos with beef and beans and it was delicious. And then we each also had the chicken Philly on a pretzel bun and that was delicious as well. My friend had the pasta, she said it was really good. And I had the potato wedges and the sauce was really good. I also had the raspberry Italian soda with cream and it was so crisp and refreshing! They have plenty of drinks for sale inside their market. They had many desserts on their menu that looked great, but we were just too full to get anything. This is a great tucked away spot that I would highly recommend you check out. read more

Nice atmosphere. Right off the main road, set back a bit. Nice tented patio outside to hang with our dog. I liked the Vienna Lager (Devil's Backbone) and I'm not a huge beer drinker. The nachos were really good! Lots of toppings. No dry chips which is exactly how I like them! So did Brody (our dog)! Staff was friendly and accommodating even though we walked in 1/2 hour before closing on. Monday night. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back before heading home to NJ! read more

You expect them to have good beer, which they do, but the food is vastly underrated and surprisingly excellent! They change the menu regularly and I've never had anything that I didn't like. Last night enjoyed the rigatoni immensely; wonderfully rich, fresh pasta, and perfect for a cold winter night. Definitely recommend! read more

Love this spot and wish we had one in northern VA! Such a cute local bar and grill. Food is always tasty, and we have had both brunch and dinner here. Beer selection is obviously great, and I love that this is both a store and a restaurant/bar all in one. Service is fast and friendly, and dogs are welcome - and we were even given a bowl of water for my friend's pup right away! read more

Beer run never disappoints with food, beverages, service. Always my go to spot for lunch with friends. We have a great time every time.

This place is clearly a local c-ville favorite. I have been here twice, most recently this past Monday holiday for drinks and appetizer. We were celebrating a new purchase. The service and staff are delightful and super nice. Two glasses of wine a piece and nachos (which we got the black bean option) small size. It was prefect. I want to come back and try both the breakfast tacos and bone in pork chop dish. We'll be back folks. Nicely done. read more

We've been here twice. Parking always seemed to be an issue--until we realized there is a large parking lot down the hill. The food is always good and service is quick. We love outdoor seating. It can get a but noisy with road traffic. The beer choices were plentiful. Nice place. read more

Food here at Beer Run is delicious. Service can run from excellent to just ok. Excellent choice of beverages. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Turkey panini was cold, and very dense. Frites are not that, just pan roasted potato wedges.

Beer run was a diamond in the rough! Randomly came upon it as it's tucked away here in Charlottesville, and I was extremely happy to have stopped by. The last time I visited, there was quite a line on a Sunday afternoon, so it wouldn't hurt to call beforehand. The French toast here was absolutely out of this world. Super duper soft, fluffy almost in the inside. Would've ordered another dish of French toast had I not been in a rush. Highly recommend this place, also had a burrito here, don't quite remember what it was but it was great! Try this place out, and definitely try the French toast read more

What went well? It always goes well. The food is always delicious and the menu is quite varied

Hidden gem. Highly recommend. Great microbrew selection. Friendly wait staff and very helpful. Very good sandwiches and deaserts

I came here for their nice Sunday brunch. The atmosphere was great. Prices are reasonable and the omelet was my favorite. Cuban Coffee is strong, but I was not a fan of the burrito. Service was great and when we asked for warm water for my friend it came expeditiously. read more

This is a crazy messed up place ! Basically a beer cooler with some suprisingly good food ! But my problem is it's a guessing game what's on the menu! Very small and parking is horrendous! I do love this bar! read more

Nachos: 3.5/5 Burger: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Let's start with the food. Nachos we alright but kind of dry. They definitely could've used a queso sauce, sour cream, or guac. My wife said her burger (ordered to go) was really bad. I ordered fries for her and they gave her potato salad it seems. Service was not good. Our waiter took our order and didn't come back until we were ready to go. We ended up running out of water but no one was there to help us. Overall, I probably won't be coming back. If you're looking for a place like this, just drive out to Blue Mountain Brewery. The vibe, the food, and the service are all better there. The nachos are way better there too. read more

Beer Run - Black bean nachos - New American Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place was soooo good- checked it out for lunch on a Monday- we had the empanadas, a burger, the birria grilled cheese and the dubliner sandwich- and wow! Everything was delicious! Had a few beers- their selection was pretty expansive and there's a ton more inside that you can buy in multipacks. Very chill ambiance and good service- we sat outside in the covered porch, and it was nice! We will def come back, this exceeded our expectations! read more

They recently changed the chef and it has been absolutely AWFUL since. The service was always terrible but at least the food made up for it. Now, there is absolutely no reason to come back here. I expect this place to go the way of most restaurants and go out of business soon. read more

What happens when you open a beer portal on top of a portal to the multiverse? Apparently, you get a bar AND a beer store AND a restaurant. Stopped by on a Monday and the place was jamming - which tells you something. We intended just to grab a round, but seeing plates of monstrous nachos pass by, we succumbed, and it was a good choice. Great craft beer selection, tried several VA breweries that are new to me, and amused/pleased to see white whale stuff from places like Hermit Thrush, Other Half, and things I can easily find. Don't be jealous, y'all have excellent consumables produced in the Old Dominion State. read more

Beer Run was a nice casual restarting with good food and an amazing beverage selection. It was super fun to check out what they sold here. z the tent outside didn't feel super fancy but if you're looking for a casual group lunch this is a nice spot. read more

Beer run is one of the best kept secrets in Charlottesville. We keep coming back for two reasons: nachos and tacos. The breakfast tacos are served from 10-1 every Saturday and they are a total highlight of the week. I get the same thing every time we go: one el Rey and one mariachi. Two tacos is the perfect amount, and the salsa is an excellent pairing! For the evenings, the nacho platter is the perfect amount for two people. The beer selection rotates. You can buy the beer they have on tap, or and of their vast selection of canned beers (note that there is a corkage fee if you drink it on side though!) read more

Beer run was very low key with delicious food! We were able to sit outside with our dog. The service was very fast and the food was very flavorful. The shrimp and grits were very creamy. If you like mushroom and cheesy shrimp and grits, this is the place to be. The frites/potatoes were a little cold when they came out, still delicious but would be better if they were hot and crispy. read more

Arrived for a Saturday brunch and ordered some breakfast tacos. Tried several different varieties, all were wonderful, quite tasty and pretty good sized, it was almost like an omelette on a tortilla. For dessert we got some tiramisu and it was also fantastic, very flavorful with the Irish creme flavor, and also a big portion as well. Obviously with a place called Beer Run there's going to be some beer there. I couldn't imagine a more diverse selection of beer anywhere near C-Ville. All in all it was a great spot tucked away in an area none of us have been to before but will definitely return. read more

I haven't been to Beer Run lately, but for months it was the regular meeting place for my fellow yogis after class. A nice array of entrees available, along with possibly the best array of beers I've seen here in C'ville. read more

Hubby was working so I went to Beer Run by myself and enjoyed a juicy hamburger with caramelized onions on a house-made pretzel bun. I asked for a New England style, juicy IPA on draft - Yeap!, they had one. Dessert? Berry tiramisu with an outstanding cappuccino. I highly recommend Beer Run read more

Love visiting beer run! Very convient and and has a wide variety of beers, wines and even non alcoholic options. We have never eaten there but staff seems friendly. I would rather shop here than a grocery store if needing drinks for the weekend. read more

We came here for taco week and my friend and I ordered the C-Ville Taco Week $8 for three tacos and decided to try each others. We also upgraded the dishes with rice and beans an extra charge. I ordered the beer battered catfish with no salsa but it came out with only a thin catfish piece in two tacos, some dry cabbage and no chipotle ranch. The black beans and rice had no flavor to them and I was really disappointed in the tacos as they looked nothing like the gorgeous picture they had on their Facebook page. My friend ordered the birria with chihuahua queso, onion, cilantro and that's the other one you see pictures which was yummy. Second time I've been here for food and I'm learning to stick to the beer store only! read more

Came here on a Saturday mid morning hoping to get an early lunch, but they were only serving their breakfast taco menu until 1, which was a little bit disappointing. We ordered the pulled pork breakfast tacos and potatoes. The tacos were pretty average, nothing too incredible. The potatoes were delicious and the coffee was flowing, which is always a plus. Service was fast and attentive. read more

Always reliable with good food. Great beer selection and friendly wait staff. A variety of seating is provided.
