However, the bartender was kind and inviting and told us "take your time and enjoy your beers" after we ordered. We didn't stay long, but really enjoyed our time here and how welcomed we felt. The menu had a wide variety of options including a fruited sour, porter, lager, IPA, alcoholic seltzers and more. We were able to taste a few before we ordered our beers. There was space to sit at the bar and a few larger tables near the windows. The beer was great and we enjoyed hearing about the brewers/owners from the friendly bartender. Note: this spot is located above the pizza/Italian restaurant! Enter through the main area and turn right to find the stairs.

Twisted Oak has rapidly become my favorite place to sit and relax and have a pint on the weekend…read more It is very much a farm brewery, as you pass through barley fields on the way in, and there are hops being trellised this spring. The space is outstanding with breezy porches, outdoor fire pits, and even walking trails across the back of the property. In winter, the wood stove keeps the inside nice and toasty. The beers are good, and Jay is a skilled brewer, gradually honing his recipes to the brewhouse. (The Miss Hazy has noticably changed and improved over the past few months.) As opposed to some places with 20+ beers ranging from the odd to the excellent to simply undrinkable, Twisted Oak typically has a range of 6-8 brews on, and all of them quite good. Most importantly, the service is outstanding. Jay and Missy (owners) are welcoming, and the part time help are all friendly and it is obvious they genuinely want you to enjoy the beer and the space. And, well, the dogs and I do.

Not sure who would really be sitting out there.. Once inside,, the Brewery is spacious with enough seating both bar and tables for a good size group of beer dinners.  I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of all 10 beers they had on tap. All the beer at Escutcheon is drinkable, crushable and reasonably price for $6-7 a pint. And, the beer here is true to style.  No extra flavors, just good beer by the numbers. Brian was our beertender and he was great.  Thanks Brian, your sense of humor and knowledge of the beer as well as nautical terms made our night way better.  The brewers name is John and he brews clean flavors.  It is comforting when the beers taste like what they are.

The setup in the back was pretty neat and included benches with umbrellas, board games, kids toys, overhanging lights, and a small shed where you can order and pick up the cider. The server was pretty engaging as far as tastings and describing the cider went. I had the valley roots and wolf reserve. What stuck out was a very crisp taste of the cider with very little to no sugary additions. The smell was like fresh apples and the blend of apples used was very unique to Va and not common around Pennsylvania. Highly recommend stopping here especially in the warmer nights of the summer. Very good cider, great outdoor atmosphere, right next to downtown, and extremely reasonably priced.

The interior was pretty nice, had a giant bar at the back side and also a separate space with one billiard board and couple of shuffle boards. There were TVs all around playing the World Cup game. The AC was broken, so they had some air blowers pumping air. They were really a burger place with the menu having 50 different types of burgers. They had chili, salad and wings too. I ordered the 10 jumbo wings, which were roasted style with moist soft meat inside. I got the garlic parmesan and spicy Caribbean jerk sauces on the side, but none of tasted like their names. I really liked the Rueben burger. But the side of coleslaw was somewhat busy disappointing, was straight up lifeless cabbage thrown in a bowl, had no cream whatsoever. When I asked the waitress about it, she said that's how it was and nothing she could do about it. The truffle fries were much better quality side. The staff members all around were friendly. They all were suffering from the AC blowout too. The dishes came out in short intervals despite the place being busy. Overall it seemed to be a solid place to hangout and have burger and fries.
