A friend and I stumbled upon this place last weekend and decided to stop in…read more It's a smaller location in Shockoe Bottom that has a loft and outside seating. We visited on a Sunday so there were people watching football in the loft and families sitting downstairs enjoying food and drinks. They even offered juice boxes for the kids! The staff was super nice and let me try some samples before I decided on the Richbrau, which was a really tasty lager. They also offered pizza and pretzels, so the place had a great smell. This is a great local brewery to stop in and I'll definitely be back.

This was the first brewery I visited in Richmond. It wasn't clustered with other breweries on the…read morebeer trail, but I'd heard good things. I liked the looks of Richbrau, it gave serious industrial vibes outside, and was still industrial inside with the tanks and such, but it was also brewery chic - efficient but comfortable furniture, nice finishes, plus decent lighting. I ordered the King of Strays and it was pretty tasty. Payment was a breeze and I enjoyed my beer in the cool Richbrau space.

I hate to be so basic but man, their Master Shredder IPA is just so damn good. This time got Yearn, Melancholia, No More Flowers and Master Shredder. No flights but 6oz pours. Bar tender said Master Shredder was one of their best sellers and most popular... Knew why immediately. Also Remedy burger gave me one of the best burgers Ive had in a long time... The Mushroom Burger was killer. Cool spot, awesome beer, solid food. Im not saying anything someone else hasnt said already, but they do an excellent job all the way around and I appreciate this spot!

We couldn't get into another bar close by so we came here and honestly, I had more fun at Garden Grove than I think I would've had at the other place.

You can easily walk in or make a reservation in advance. If you're dining at a table, it's full service though you aren't rushed. They have a huge menu of craft beers and a flight option to try multiple. You can also grab some of their canned beers to go. There's a wide variety of food on the menu as well. If you're with others, I'd recommend splitting a bunch of their starters.

Came here to hang out with my wife for a few hours. We didn't know they opened at 3PM on Fridays so…read morewe were the first people to show up when they opened. Parking was street only. Very big plus is our beers were half off because we also stumbled upon happy hours. The whole place was pretty big, and had a good arcade section. We definitely were able to kill time and had a lot of fun. Staff is pretty chill and let us know we could drink near the games. Can't wait to come back!

My husband and try to find an arcade bar everywhere we go, and this was our choice in Richmond…read more It's super easy to get to and a couple brewery spots around it which were perfect to bar hop a little. For their arcade, you have to use a card that you buy credits on to. In our opinion, the games were a little expensive. I think it's more directed towards parents who want to drink and offload their kids in this area, but for those of us already spending a good amount on drinks, the price on the games kinda sucks. We're used to a cover for all you can play or something a little more affordable. They do have a lot of great, newer games. It definitely kept us entertained for a while. They also had a great variety. It was pretty empty when we got there a little after lunch, but by 4pm or so it started raining and they were PACKED. The drinks were good, nothing special. A couple draft cocktails that tasted like you would expect. Some good beer options. It's a great spot in the area, huge bar area that can fit a lot of people and a really great patio.

My husband has been in Richmond for work before and he had remembered this spot once we were inside - he remembered it being very good! We sat at the bar and were helped immediately. We had great service the whole time, even after we paid. I needed a little snack so we endured in their loaded beer cheese fries and they were fantastic. Tons of flavor and the perfect pick me up. They had a lot of great beers, something for everyone, and other drink options for the non-beer drinkers. Overall, a great experience. If we were with friends, we could have spent all day chillin' here and hanging out. Great spot!

This spot is a flight lover's dream, and I'm not talking about boarding passes. Big beer selection,…read moreplus wine, cider, and even non-alcoholic options? Yes please. Their "build-your-own" flight setup is genius--you choose anywhere from 2 to 10 tasters, and pricing is based on the beer you pick. Each one is clearly labeled on the menu at the bar, making it super easy to mix, match, and share. My boyfriend and I grabbed a couple each and built our own "couples flight." Highly recommend this approach if you're rolling deep with friends--rounds for the win! Now the beer. The Mango Gose was light and fruity without the pucker-punch, and the Cherry Cobbler Sour was refreshingly chill with just a little tang. But the real MVP? The Lucky Charms marshmallow beer. YES, it was bright green. YES, it smelled like it should be in a cereal bowl. And YES, it tasted like childhood nostalgia with a buzz. I was skeptical... and then I was converted. My boyfriend enjoyed several IPAs and gave them two enthusiastic hops up. Food-wise, no kitchen here--but they rotate food trucks/food setups, which keeps things fresh. They also offer the cutest little snack jars--1 for $2 or all 3 for $5. Just enough to crave that sweet (or salty) tooth! Gummy worms, M&Ms, trail mix... it's giving snack bar meets brewery energy, and I'm into it. The space is big inside with an eclectic, funky vibe (some weird wall decor, but we'll call it personality), and a solid outdoor area with long beer garden tables. Plenty of room to sip, snack, and stay a while. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I day drink the day away here if I had more time? Without hesitation. Just shy of five stars because it's missing food on-site consistently, but the drinks, snacks, and vibe totally make it worth the visit. Lucky Charms beer forever.

I ordered a flight of all the tart beers and found them unique. The Lucky Charms one is unique and tastes like the cereal. The cider is excellent and I loved the Razzle sour ale. So refreshing! The space is one big room with plenty of tables and a corner of games. Most of the games are broken and come with missing pieces. The service was efficient and friendly enough. Staff didn't seem thrilled to have three kids at the brewery, but alas.
