A great addition to route 7.

I was really excited to find out that they had their own root beer, so I tried that. It was AMAZING! I loved it so much that I ended up buying a six pack of it to bring home! We selected the soft pretzel, a sandwich, and a spinach/apple/vinagarette salad from their menu. Everything was portioned well and tasty. The cheese for the soft pretzel had a bit of kick, almost like a nacho cheese. I think it would be great if they developed their own beer cheese in the future. There was ample seating available when we arrived and the restaurant was clean and inviting. We would recommend this brewery to other adults looking for local great food and craft beer (or root beer!)

After sitting in…read morethe beer fridge for a couple of months, I finally cracked it open at a recent poker night, and the quality was undeniable. Silent Wings is a Coffee Brown Ale from Honor Brewing out of Sterling, Virginia. As a veteran myself, I have a massive amount of respect for this veteran-owned local outfit. The brew is excellent--smooth and flavorful with a distinct coffee profile. While it was delicious in April, the flavor profile strikes me as a perfect fit for a fall or winter evening. I'll definitely be looking to stock up on this again once the weather cools down. I may never make it out to Sterling but will keep an eye out for the brew!

Our group hung out outside, where they have a large area with campfire pods, which was really nice since it was a little chilly that night. I'm not much of a beer drinker, so I appreciated that they had non-beer options on the menu along with non-alcoholic drinks as well. Emily did an awesome job taking care of our party, especially since we were a pretty large group celebrating a birthday. I'd definitely recommend getting the s'mores basket (it was a big hit with everyone). My mojito was pretty good too. One thing I'd mention is that it's probably better to order directly through your server or at the bar instead of using the QR code ordering system. We tried ordering drinks through the QR code and they never came out, even after waiting around 30 minutes. Thankfully, Emily saved the day and got everything sorted out for us.

Also, there's ample seating -- great for both small and big groups. And it's family friendly too with the ample games they had! We would definitely come back to try the other beers and other food on the menu!

Very family friendly, plenty of place to run around and the food comes out quick (no specific kids menu but the grilled cheese was a huge hit). The Director of Operations, Kat, was lovely, came by our table to chat and shared a little more about the makers market they were hosting and some of the special events (Monday bingo night!!) they have going on. The food was not only quick but also delicious -- I will be dreaming about the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls tonight. My uncle was in the mood for a burger which wasn't on the brewery menu but they did have at a food truck outside!! Not a beer girl but I tried one and it was great (I think called the one sip wonder). TVs and lively atmosphere, could've spent the whole day here!!

BLUF: Popular venue on a nice day that gets very crowded. Parking is tough when busy. Food &…read morebeverages are pricey. Food seemed ok but not outstanding. Limited menu that seems more like the strategy is to see how many transformations of basic pub grub one can do. Not necessarily elevations but more like combinations of limited ingredients & heated quickly. Lots of seating but not really enough if you have kids. Come early on a busy day, if so. And, keep an eye out so that you don't get bonked by a ball, running children, jump ropes, bean bags, frisbees, cricket bats. Dogs on leashes allowed outside, so watch your step. Poop station available. Not too impressed by the menu. Unimaginative, quickly assembled bar food. Small portions. High prices. The food being brought out by staff didn't look or smell enticing enough to order anything. I'm guessing people enjoyed the booze. I think food trucks visit occasionally. It's a place good for gathering, and the kids entertain themselves. Not many appealing options for drinkers of beverages not containing alcohol & the few available are expensive. Staff seemed nice, polite, generally helpful. Are there staff enforcing rules so that you don't get bonked by a ball or bat on the patio? Not so much. When it's crowded, the grounds can get awfully squishy, but once you find a good place to sit, it's nice to kick back with friends and family. Worth the drive? For some. I'd definitely not drive out for the food. But if you're in the area and want to take a break, and it's not crowded, then it's a convenient place to pull off and stretch your legs. Enjoy a beverage, if that's your thing. They have an event space for private events, so if that's your need, give 'em a jingle.

After visiting a two other VA/MD breweries, my expectations were really low on my quest for some…read moregood craft beer. Ocelot felt like craft beer the moment we walked in. Dark woods, colored lights stickers, TV playing, music going and the vats for brewing. Walked up and took a seat at the empty bar, arriving minutes after they opened on a Monday. Looked at the tap menu, as well as can for sale. My sister ordered a lemon lime cider and I decided on a Polvo Pils. After that trip to Prague, I will always search out a good pilsner. Ocelot had a wonderful pilsner, served properly. I followed this up with Little Black Book. Can you ever go wrong with a nitro tap beer? The answer is no. So, after two rounds, I was impressed with the beer, definitely better than what I had tasted the previous days. The beertender was attentive, the decor was somewhat eclectic, lots of colored lights strung from the ceiling. Barrels against the wall, as the main beer hall opened up to the production side of the establishment. The pinball room was awesome, wall to wall pinball machines, light flashing, looked like it would really be a happening place at quitting time. All in all it was the best beer experience I had while visiting. Would recommend a stop if you don't want to battle traffic out of IAD at the wrong time of day.

They had a great (but not overwhelming IYKYK) draft list. The owner and beertender were so kind and helpful. I appreciate their guidance on my annoyingly intense dislike of all hazy, juicy, or milkshake-y beers. Just stop. Also, a surprising amount of space within the brewery from what you expect from outside. Hung out and worked in the loft which I highly recommend for study groups or non-study groups. But then I joined everyone else outside in the fantastic set up: a food truck, generous amount of seating, great conversation with locals, and such a talented singer/songwriter performing. Very happy I visited on a Friday. Truly disappointed that this gem of a place isn't in my neighborhood. I would be a regular to the nth degree!

When we arrived there as a sign that read "all day happy hour M-F, 50% off all pints." When asked the guy at the bar said it was only for weekdays not weekends. Mind you we came on a Friday. The beers were sub par, nothing really tasted good. Honestly it all tasted the same. We also ordered food which I think was overpriced. $60 for three burgers and jalapeño poppers. I was also told that the flight, which was $20 for 6 5oz pours was $20.50 would be discounted by 1/2; however the bill did not reflect this. I was informed that it would come off the food but when we got the total there was not itemized list, probably because to hide how much tip was already included. When I went to pay the tab, I was informed that gratuity was already included! I'm not a fan of that at all. I should be able to decide how much to tip. Will not be going back, sorry not good. If you're trying to decide, hit up Harvest Gap Brewery instead.

The establishment is a brewery so I feel that they must be rated on their main product - beer - and it was not great. I'd give their beer 3 stars, and all the people I was there with agree it would not prompt us to come back for the beer alone. Food - they have a fairly extensive list of food items prepared in the kitchen next door. We got the white chicken pizza, brisket quesadilla and chicken rolls with a fun Indian flavor twist. The collective favorite were the quesadillas! I'd say the food was 4/5 - I wouldn't come back for the food alone but my in-laws said they would. Ambiance - the interior of the brewery didn't quite feel like a brewery? Felt a little sterile / empty - we were the only people there for over an hour around 3 on a Friday afternoon. The redeeming qualities are really nice staff members - very attentive, like raising the volume in the TV when they noticed we were watching. The views from outside are also really pretty looking out at the river, and would be a nice spot in the summer. Overall; the beer's just not there but their food and views were top notch.
