    Outside

    My friend and I stopped back a couple of weeks ago. This time, we shared a pizza with our beer. The pizza was great! It had a crispy crust and great flavor. I can see why so many people eat here. This has fast become one of my favorite breweries to visit.

    Veggie pizza

    Got a veggie pizza to go, quickly prepared and as ordered (olives on the side). My wife liked it but wished for more sauce. I thought it was seasoned for a child's palate and would like to try one with different toppings. They brew various beers too. It was a Saturday with tons of service staff around. A baby shower was ending as a real shower began outside. Give it a try!

    Met some friends here. Very crowded, and packed. Not enough parking either. People trying to beat people to tables after a party leaves and dirty dishes on the table still after the original party just left and the table needed to be bused and cleaned still while the new party or guest sit there to snag up the table. Thats how busy they are and it's like every guest and party for them selves. Looked like a cool place. But also they need more service employees because when they are busy you might be waiting kind of awhile for refills or ordering more food. It's kinda a mad house when they are busy due to the small location that they have. Food and drinks are decent too.

    After exploring historic Culpeper, two friends and I stopped into Iron Pipe Alewerks for a beer on a Saturday night while a band was playing live on the outdoor patio. Selling pizza, the entire place smelled of cheese and tomato sauce. Beers on tap come in three sizes. My friend got the IPA and I the sour. I also got a tiny cup of the strawberry cider. The cider was the winner but all three tasted watered down. If you love craft beer, I recommend going to Far Gohn Brewing in nearby Culpeper.

    We were craving good pizza and so glad we stopped by here. It's more of a brewery vibe, but a family of 6 was still able to find a nice table to sit and eat. Food: Their pizzas are small for their price, but boy are they good! We ordered 2 pizzas and ended up ordering another one since we were still hungry. Their garlic Parmesan wings are to die for!! I'd make the trip there everyday just to eat their wings! Drinks: they have lots of cool looking beers and the service was great. They have a cool membership program where you can buy a mug for $125 and you get every drink for $4 and probably other deals and things like that. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but if that's your thing and you're local, it seems like a good deal! A good place for a small bite to eat (or just order your own pizza and you'd be good to go!).

    Bee sting pizza

    Strong 4.4. Great pizza, wings, and beer. Neat set up being in an old silk factory that made parachutes during WW 2 and still has the pipes, hence the name. We stopped here after a day hiking since it was near our B&B at Meander. We got the bee sting pizza (very good, slight kick) and the meat-pelier which we also enjoyed. The baked wings were excellent and a good complement to the pizzas. There isn't much else to the food menu other than pizza and wings so just keep that in mind. The atmosphere was nice and they had the football game on the one TV at the bar. There is also an outdoor patio with heat lamps if you wish to sit outside. We enjoyed the beer as well - from the Betty Wit to the IPA's no complaints. We would definitely come back here.

The wines are excellent and there are several tasting options you can choose- I believe there was a red flight, a white flight, and a "signature" option that had both. You also have the option to build your own flight, which I always love. The 2024 rosé is a standout, we picked up several bottles to bring home. We could not believe how good the food was- it was worth a trip in its own right! It's on the pricier side but it is clear why, the plates wouldn't be out of place at a fine dining restaurant. We also had the kindest server, Chelsie, who made our experience so special and memorable! She stopped by to chat several times, gave us great recommendations, and she could not have been nicer to me and my friends. We were lucky enough to attend our dear friends' wedding here and it was a spectacular wedding venue. The space is just beautiful and the catering was incredible- some of the best wedding food we've had by far. We liked it so much we came back to visit the tasting room the next day :) This is a perfect stop on the way to Charlottesville from the DMV and a gorgeous place to spend an afternoon.

Their outside setup is very nice with tents for shade, comfortable plastic chairs with cup holders and fake grass a little ambience. The service was a little slow at first but then were very attentive and helpful. The inside is immaculate and the bathroom was very clean (always a plus and positive sign). We got the chips and onion dip to start which were yummy! Then we got a Turkey sandwich and a club sandwich. Both were delicious and stuffed full, we could only eat half. We got a coke and a Veil Brewing Co. IPA to drink. The Veil is one of the best brewing companies on the East Coast and not easy to find outside of Richmond, VA. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience here!! Great job!!

We strolled in, gave our name for reservation, and were swiftly seated in the back of the restaurant behind the bar area. It was a comfortable setting for dinner with most of the dining room in a pleasantly quiet a bit dark in a warm way but good enough for conversation and relaxing atmosphere for chilling out. FOOD We started with the housemade rosemary focaccia bruschetta ($14), and were recommended to order two servings for our table of four... so we did. About 10 minutes later, the appetizer arrived and the focaccia was a nice way to begin the meal, and was surpised it wasn't pre-cut but it was fine to cut it at the table with the cheese and share...it tasted good but was not especially remarkable for what you'd expect (forgot to take a photo) For our entrées, we ordered the grilled branzino ($39)...a bit overly oily for me, the fish of the night ($39), coastal tagliatelle ($28), and spaghetti pomodoro ($23). The dishes were solid portion and generally enjoyable. I suppose I expected more of a WOW that I didn't get from the menu options or the service...probably didn't help we were seated next to a large and very loud group in the back. Overall, the food was fine and satisfying, though nothing stood out enough to make the meal especially memorable. We skipped dessert. SERVICE Service was acceptable and kept the meal moving, but it did not add much to the overall experience... Overall, this was an okay Italian spot with a comfortable ambiance and a solid selection of dishes, but it did not quite deliver the exceptional food or memorable experience expected from a well-raved restaurant that others had hyped up. I personally wouldn't visit this spot again in the area for Italian food, knowing that there are spots nearby with warmer service and more interesting menu options....so this rating is relative to those spots.

I had just come from a hair appointment down the street and on my way back to my car, I noticed Sangria advertised on the mini sandwich board outside. I'm a HUGE fan of a glass of fruity Sangria on a hot day! The fact that it was Happy Hour with $5 glasses made it even easier to draw me inside!! When I explained this was my first visit, they explained the Curio concept, the various areas for sitting, sipping and gathering as well as the Curio Card process. They even had a small but really intriguing menu of various snacks, from charcuterie to flatbread and even dessert. The menu changes a couple times a month, making me want to plan more visits! The staff offered me sips of each so I could decide on a Sangria flavor. Despite not being a Moscato fan, I chose the Moscato Mule Sangria. It was light, refreshing and had the Moscow Mule flavors with the added sweetness of Moscato wine. I wandered into the cellar to explore more wine offerings and wound up running into fellow educators and their friends I had never met. We chatted like we were catching up and laughed about shared birthdays and teaching!! They invited me to hang with them, but I had to get home for Dog Mom Duty. We exchanged numbers so we could plan another "run-in" downtown SOON! If you haven't visited Curio, I HIGHLY recommend it. Bring a friend, or plan on making a few. Next time, I'll be ordering food with my wine and lingering much longer! Thanks for a great end to my week. See y'all soon! Cheers!
