We went to this brewery as part of a Mini Cooper club brewery-run/day trip. Our expectations were…read morecompletely blown out of the water! The food is SOOOO GOOD! This was the best fish and chips I've had in a long time, and the ribeye sandwich was also really, REALLY good. There is a wide selection of beers to choose from, with a couple of really interesting additions. We shared a couple flights and were especially happy with the Kolsch, the Irish Red, and the Sweet Porter. Our group was welcomed with smiling faces, they checked in on us often to see if we needed anything at all, and we thoroughly enjoyed the spotless and modern, yet warm, space. Love that they have plenty of off-street parking, and gender-neutral restrooms. Bring cash or pay a 3% credit card fee.

This is a great addition to the northern neck especially in Montross. We always used to stop at the…read moreMontross brewery to grab drinks and sometimes dinner before we head to our vacation home. After the Montross brewery was closed we hardly stopped in Montross. Recently we discovered this brewery and we decided to try it. They have a decent patio, and great interior. Huge space for live music, karaoke and game room. The bar tender was very nice. We ordered flight of beer and wings, potstickers and fries for food. Everything was great. The service was excellent. The bar tender is very nice to talk to. Brings good energy. Recommend sitting at the table if you don't have a large party. Karaoke singers were great too. Decently crowded space. We are definitely looking forward to stopping by on our way next time.

My husband and I were just passing through this beautiful town, and stumbled upon this spot. It was…read morethe only place really open past 9pm so it was an obvious choice. The bar was full but plenty of other seating available. They were quick to serve us and then we grabbed a game and played a couple of rounds of Uno at the table. We grabbed our last beer for the night and ended up in discussion with the owners of the place. The history/reason for the Brewery was an amazing story, and conversation was lovely. They're also opening an oil and vinegar shop next door and they let us check it out, their businesses are very clean and well decorated. We promised to come back the next day to buy some oil and TOTALLY forgot so I'm going to keep an eye out for the shop official open so I can buy some!! Great business, great beers, great conversation. Such an awesome stop in this quaint little area.

There wasn't much in Tappahannock that fit the bill, so we just decided to try this place. We were more than pleased with our choice. The somewhat drab and unimpressive exterior will fool you: This place is one of the most fun and inviting places you'll ever set foot. There's a respectable selection of beer, good pub food, a wonderful little bier garden, pinball machines(!), and some of the friendliest humans (both staff and patrons) you could ever hope to meet. If I went into specifics, this would be an unreadably long review. So if you yourself in the area, just take a chance on this place, and go. You'll love it. If you don't, I have to think that's on you.

Midway through our dinner the main lights dimmed a bit which made the string lights look like stars making for a very romantic atmosphere. They do offer outdoor seating as well but we opted to stay inside, however we saw a fire pit and corn hole which could make for a fun outdoor evening. The food was amazing and came out extremely quickly. I think we waited less than 10 minutes which surprised me. I ended up getting the soft shell crab special which came with 3 small soft shell crabs and two sides. The Caesar salad was well dressed but was missing the salty umami flavor I come to expect with Caesar it almost tasted a bit bland but the romaine used was fresh and I appreciated the crunch/green it offered my meal, I don't think I'd recommend it being worth the upcharge and will probably try another side when returning. The fries are handcut and delicious, they also have old bay along with the typical salt & pepper on the table which when sprinkled on to the fries definitely take it up a notch. My crabs were phenomenal, perfectly fried and the butter sauce they provided with it was a delicious addition for dipping. My partner got a pulled pork sandwich and he shared that it was very good. It had a nice vinegar kick expected from Carolina BBQ. Our server Zachary was also extremely attentive and made sure we had our meals, waters were topped off and gave us any and all accoutrements we could need when asked. Overall, we had a great experience at Old Rapp Taphouse, we went on a Saturday night and found there to be a steady stream of people coming in and out but still received such great service and food. Highly recommend.

I was so excited to visit this place after reading all the positive reviews; however, our…read moreexperience was a letdown due to the hospitality (or lack of it). We were here earlier than usual (10:30 am, don't judge me for drinking before noon!!!) and we're the only customers. It's uniquely located at a camp ground, but parking is a bit limited. The tasting room is small but has amble seating. There was a piano in the tasting room and no one was at the tasting room when we entered. My daughter who is a beginner pianist, wanted to play. Since there were no signs on the piano that forbid people touching, she went ahead and played. Then an older gentleman came in and told us in a stern tone that the piano is not for playing. He was not friendly at all and even after we apologized and ordered a flight for sampling, he still was not engaging. I'm not sure if he is the brew master or just someone works for the campsite store, but he didn't seem too happy to be there. We had the 2 stouts, an Amber, and pilsner on tap for our flight. They were all just OK. We didn't want to order more because his attitude and the sense that we were not welcomed there... Which was too bad because it was a nice space with plenty of outdoor seating, a playground in the back for kids to play while parents enjoy some refreshing beer. We will most likely not go back again given the cold-shoulder treatment.
