    Beer flight
    D P.

    This was not what we expected but ended up loving it! It is in a small strip mall, not where I was expecting a brewery to be ( they do have the tanks in their back rooms). They have a very small outside seating area. Limited menu items but let me tell you the Baked Pretzel was awesome... and HUGE!!! Its about a foot tall. Lots of great beer choices. I didn't see it posted anywhere but you can order a beer flight which was a great way to taste several, which I did. We were told to order at the bar when we came in but later a guy came around and checked to see if we needed anything so I'm not sure of the actual order process. They have a variety of 4-6 person tables, high tops and bar seats. And they have tons of games you can play... we played GIANT UNO! A lot if fun!!!

    Lots of music on Fridays and a continually changing set of beers. There is always something new to try. I love getting the flights.

    Really solid selection of beers. Their Pied Piper Pils is spectacular. Nice folks staffing the place too.

    Beer & wine!    Great beers!

    Loved our first visit to Dancing Kilt. Great beer, great people and laid back the way we like it!

    Beer flights and soft pretzel - delicious!

    The red ale was mild and went down so easy! The purple dragon has an 11.5% abv but was also smooth, and the honey flavor does come through. St.Damien says it has a hint of spice, but its rather heavy for spice, and I very much loved it for that unique flavor. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. That pretzel was amazing - perfect with the beers. The fluorescent lights and office-tile ceiling is not the greatest aesthetics for having a Saturday night out by any means, but the brews are worth a visit. Much recommended!

    Back of menu...a few more beers plus other goodies.

    So great to have a new brewery in Chester. We really enjoyed our first visit and plan to go again soon! I loved the stout...nice coffee/peanutbutter taste. The staff was friendly and it was a nice atmosphere (although the florescent lights were a bit bright) Over all a thumbs up. They need to think about expanding their weekend hours...they close at 7 pm both Friday and Saturday and are closed on Sunday.

    From my vantage point at the bar..

    The place was clean. I liked that. And the beer I drank (Brown Gnome, I think it was called) was tasty. The gal who greeted me on the way in was friendly and the guitarist was entertaining. I'd definitely swing-by again if I were to pass that way.

    Is the brewery pet friendly? We're traveling through with our boxer this weekend & would love to stop & have a few beers.

    Yes, there is outdoor seating.

    I stopped by on a weekend afternoon to try some wine. The…read moreman who helped me first asked what I liked and didn't like, then proceeded to give me several wines to taste. I didn't like any of the samples I tried, so he gave me a few more options, including a frozen slushy that tasted like pine and finally a way too sweet sangria. He tried his best and was very helpful, but I just was not a fan of anything I tried. I've been to a number of wineries in VA, and while I haven't always liked everything I've tried, this was the first winery where I did not like anything.

    Living in Richmond, it was a treat to make a short drive to the southside to Chester to visit…read moreAshton Creek! The grounds were well maintained and the outdoor seating was nice, pretty views of the vineyards. The inside was rather plain, but nice, it would be better with some wine themed decor, a bit industrial for my taste. The restrooms were clean and had unique fixtures. Our service was super quick and the folks there were friendly and informative! We all ordered various flights of wine to try. I ordered the Lady May Rosé, the Ta Ta Tannat Rosé and the Lori Ann Cab Franc, which were all lovely. I do prefer the rosé blends. We also ordered the charcuterie board and it was huge and full of meats, cheeses, crostini, fruits, and various chutneys. It was marvelous. We also devoured the massive Bavarian pretzel with cheese and mustard dips. The menu also offered salads, tacos, sandwiches, appetizers, and desserts. The food was excellent and went well with our wine flights! I'd like to go back and try some of their whites and more reds!! The prices were very reasonable and we went home with several bottles of wine!!

It was a short little walk and along the way there were plenty of other places to grab drinks if you're looking for a pub crawl type vibe. However, if you want to just stay here a few hours, I don't think you will be disappointed. I don't drink much; I never cared for the taste of alcohol. When I drink I seek for things that don't really taste like it at all. They let me sample the pineapple upside down cake cider and it was sweet enough to give me an option to enjoy! We met a handsome guy named Benjamin, who said it was his first day on the clock, so we assured him we would give him a hassle to commemorate the occasion. He was super helpful in suggesting a dry cider for her to enjoy! The other employee I spoke to was also super nice. I'm thinking about moving to the area and I asked him about rental prices in the area. He was kind enough to offer some insight! It's a massive location with tons of seating indoors and out. They had a fun, large Jenga game you could play but you could easily bring your own board games in. Oh and they also had dole whip?! Unsure if it was dairy-free friendly as I didn't have any but I thought that was a fun unique quirk of the place. I definitely suggest checking it out! Perfect for a casual but cute date night with a romantic interest or to spend time with friends!

When I was an active member of the Scott's Addition Board Game Society, I came twice a month. Buskey has stayed a local gem in my heart for all the years I've lived in Richmond. They offer a huge variety of ciders that can fit different palettes. Their classic flavors are on the sweeter side, but they offer dry ciders too. I adore the space they have. It's huge and great for different things. Whether you're hoping for some time inside or outside, they have plenty of seating to accommodate both. You're able to try different ciders before purchasing them since most of them are on tap. If you're not in the mood to stay in their space, they offer most of the ciders to go. Buskey Cider has a variety of fun community events to attend. They have a wonderful space for it. They welcome dogs here. Parking can be a little tricky since it's Scott's Addition, but it's never that bad. They have a women and men's restroom here. I'm classic and like their RVA Cider. In the summer, when it's floating season, I try to get their Watermelon Rosemary if it's available. I also really like their soft serve cider. They cycle out flavors and create new ones. You can always expect to find RVA Cider and Buskey Dry though. I highly recommend visiting Buskey for an RVA local cidery.

    Awesomeness totally ..!!!…read more People have good service grapefruit a great Keylime pie I give this whole menu 100% thank you for your time and availability and your service

    Celiac- Gluten-free Review…read more I was hype to try Oak & Apple because they have wings, howeverrrr they do not have a dedicated fryer- the wings are smoked and then typically deep fried. I was told that they could grill them for me. I was set to order 10 wings, but was wary of how the texture would be if they were grilled so scaled down to 5. The texture of the skin on the outside was rubbery as I anticipated, but, if this makes sense, I could tell that if they had been fried they would have been A1. The overall flavor and the texture beyond the skin was so good. Wouldn't order them again, but if you can have the wings fried, I say that's a solid choice. Thanks for accommodating me anyhow, I do appreciate the effort. I also got a side of the tea braised collards, which surprised me. Have never had collards prepared that way and I did enjoy the flavor. They were also very clean, and if you've ever had collards that haven't been washed properly, you know how off-putting it is to catch stray pieces of dirt in your teeth. What really fell flat for me were the BBQ nachos. Queso, pulled pork, burnt end beans...couldn't tell where one flavor started and the next one ended. Overall very bland, which was disappointing because it just felt so uninspired. Was expecting more smoke, especially from the burnt end baked beans. And if I'm not getting excited about flavor from your pulled pork or burnt end beans, I'm going to assume that it's going to be the same for the brisket, chicken, and ribs. What stands out for me here- if you're into cider, they've got really good choices on tap, and rotate about ten different types. That's unheard of just about anywhere. I also experienced nothing short of top-tier service, and the people who work the bar are friendly and personable. It's really easy to chat with other patrons seated at the bar as well, I felt like a regular and could have sat there for hours. Even the regulars coming in to grab to-go orders struck up conversations while they were waiting. It feels like a third place with its chill atmosphere and easy vibes. Even with the food not being my favorite, I could easily see myself sliding into a spot at the bar regularly just to hang out and have a few drinks. Also do appreciate the inclusion of gluten-free/gluten-free options, even if I'm not a huge fan. So this is a solid 3.5 stars for me- rounded down since Yelp won't let us do half stars.
