Love their beer and dinner menu...I give three stars only because every time I've come here they never have my beer of choice or they dropped the beer completely. Just a little annoying but do appreciate the rotating beer menu. Regardless I'll keep coming back for their city view and great fish and chips. read more

Beer was great, went on a midday snack hunt. Ordered nachos, only to find them completely cold. Chips with cold shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream. Had potential if it had even graced the microwave. (Boyfriend scarfed it down regardless.) read more

I could not tell you what beer I ordered, but I can tell you I'll never forget that view :) This place is absolutely awesome - the skyline-adjacent patio is wonderful and makes you feel like you're in the city without all the noise. Feels very urban and suburban at the same time. This place lived up to its name - truly a Richmond staple. Super old-school in appearance which makes it even more charming in appeal. Loved the wings - and honestly not too bad in price! So long as this place exists, I will most certainly be goin read more

Legend brewing - iconic and worth the visit. The large patio has a beautiful view of the James river and skyline. Solid beer and snacks. We ordered the chicken wings and thought it was interesting that the sauce came on the side instead of on the wings themselves read more

Amazing staff. I had a large group of 20+ people- within minutes we were sat and drinking. Will absolutely be coming back for future group meetings/ socials. read more

Legend is a Richmond classic, known for their traditional beers, large patio, and skyline views (for now). I've been several times over the years and generally will order either a berliner weisse variety or a lager. I had their summer bier on my most recent visit last weekend, and it was super refreshing after a walk through downtown and across the T Pot bridge. Service was extra friendly this last visit. I've had food here in the past too, and it's always been decently good. read more

Boasted as a 'Richmond staple', offering a variety of delicious brews, foods, and views- we added Legends as a pit-stop during our long road-trip. We mapped out our visit with the intention of arriving for "halfy-hour", though were a bit dismayed to discover HH only applied to the core beers not seasonal (small let down miscommunication, especially since I had pre-called & asked). Service was friendly; server allowed 3 samples per person with a $.50charge beyond that- After trying a variety, most of the beers were very basic- none really had a particularly 'wow' flavor, few had a weird twang from the fruit, but we did find at least one we each enjoyed-opting for the Tropical Hazy pint (intense fruity profile 1star) & core IPA English half-pint (average piney malty crisp 3star) Lazy Days (weird almost warm fruit characteristic .5star) Porter (average roasty chocolate milky 3star) Hazey Days (fruity kick but not enough hops balance 1star) Haze Fatigue (woody very wet woody twang .25star) Overall, we did enjoy our visit because the ambiance; the views of the VA skyline was fantastic on a nice cool breezy day. Added it was a fun experience to observe a few older men locals all gathering at their 'normal tables' updating on their week- a very friendly vibe- glad we tried it out once, but probably wouldn't add them to our itinerary next road trip. read more

Four of us stopped in for dinner one evening. This is location has a great view of the Richmond skyline. There is some indoor and outdoor seating along with a covered patio type of area. There is street parking and a small lot across the street. We tried a flight of their beer and then ordered dinner. We had burgers, onion rings and fries. The lager beer was very good! The food was fair and the service was actually kind of slow. We weren't in a hurry or trying get to something but it took a LONG time for dinner. I would definitely get some beers here again, but probably skip the dinner option. read more

Great time at Legend's! We walked across the foot bridge from Shockoe and had worked up an appetite by the time we got there. Had a beer by the bar while we waited for our table. Dining service was slow, but they just seemed to be busy and maybe feeling the service crunch of 2023. We weren't bothered by it, since the views (including people watching) were great. We really liked the brown ale and the fruity Berliner weisses. Food was good, too. It all sounded tasty and it was hard to pick! My dad enjoyed the avocado chicken Sammie, and we also liked our burgers, fish and chips, fish tacos, and kid's quesadilla. We'll be back for the chai spiced brown ale in November. read more

Legend Brewing Company was a pleasant surprise. On a Sunday afternoon, we walked across the Potterfield Memorial Bridge and found this brewery nearby in Old Town Manchester. The space itself is large and they have safe distance seating inside. Since we're not going inside during the pandemic, we sat outside. They have an open air covered deck with tables, heaters and city views. The beer menu is HUGE and they even have four sour ales- black currant, cherry, pomegranate and raspberry. I ordered the black current and it was tasty. It tasted more like a beer with a hint of juice in it. Even my wife and housemate enjoyed it compared to other sours. The food menu is huge and even has a kids section. My wife and I split the brussels sprouts, steak and cheese sandwich, and jalapeno coleslaw. Our housemate got the pretzel and braut and our toddler got chicken tenders and fries. For bar food, it was all really tasty and hit the spot. If you need a great lunch spot, go to Legend Brewing Company. Then walk off the calories along the nearby Potterfield Memorial Bridge. read more

Pub and Brewery that has a large amount of indoor and outdoor seating. They do have their own parking lot. Lots on tap and a decent sized food menu. Casual staff. I ordered a flight of 5, you can order anywhere from 4-6. Raspberry Z Dam Ale - you can really smell the raspberry. It's not sour at all but I don't taste the ginger. You get a hint of lime with the raspberry and it is really great and easy to drink. Oktoberfest - Probably one of the better oktoberfests I've tried. You do get that light honey finish and it's easy to drink. Pomegranate Berliner Weiss - You do get the hint of the pomegranate in the smell and it's a little tart with a slight hint of the fruit but the tartness us not overpowering. Blood Orange Berliner Weiss - also has a great blood Orange smell and flavor. Also just a tad sour but not overpowering. Peach Berliner Weiss - probably my favorite out of the 3 berliner Weiss, mainly cause I love peaches. I really enjoyed this one as the flavor comes through a little more. Relaxed environment and seems like a cool hangout spot! read more

My family and I have been coming to Legend for years. The beer and the view of the city are both amazing. On a sunny day there really is nothing better than having a nice beer on the patio. Legend has good food but over the years I have noticed a drastic inconsistency in the food. The food is either earth shatteringly delicious or terrible there is no middle ground. We always get the chicken wings. In the past the wings have been smoked and grilled. You would take a bite and immediately be greeted with crunchiness and juicy deliciousness. Now the wings are baked and taste kinda rubbery. The fries used to be seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of crisp and now they are super salty. There are a few other menu items we've tried and have ran into the same inconsistency. The beer at Legend is the shining star of the show which is good considering they are a brewery. They have so many great options that they allow you to sample up to two beers per person at no charge. If you are an indecisive Libra like me and need to sample more than two beers each additional sample is just 50 cents! To sum things up the beer is good, the view is Instagram worthy and the food may or may not make your hit list! read more

Haven't been here in a few years. I've got a beer allergy, so it's not on my must-do list while I'm in the RVA. But stopped in with friends yesterday for a late lunch. Since I was there last they've expanded the food menu; they now offer a wide spectrum of dishes. Mosty "traditional" brew-pub fare, but there are plenty of other options, too. Each of us enjoyed our meal: I had the "Best of the Wurst" sandwich, and I splurged with all three sausages: Knockwurst, Bratwurst *and* Andouille! Yum! The chicken wings and accompanying sauce were fine. The onion rings were tasty, but greasy (to the point of when they got cold they were inedible). We were less impressed by the nachos. The flavors were fine, the quantity was (more than) ample. But the cheese ain't even melted? Say WHAT? The letdown was the service. We waited nearly 45 minutes from the time we placed our order until the food arrived. I'm all about wishing lunch could last forever, and lingering over the James River with good friends, but we were joking about running down the street to Mickey D's to get a snack to tide us over until our food came. Didn't appear to be a staff shortage. Just seemed that all orders were taking their sweet time in the kitchen. Probably will be back, but I won't show up when I'm starving next time. read more

Legend was understaffed the day we were here. They let us know this and took our phone number to text us when the waiter was ready. Lots of open tables. No staff. They didn't get back to us. We had to go up there long after they said we should have service. They said they texted, but the phone didn't ring and there was no record of a call. Anyhoo, I ordered fish and chips. It was nicely presented and was a healthy portion, but way overcooked and pretty flavorless. I love fish and chips. It's my favorite, so this was a huge let down. It's dirty on the patio (road dust), noisy, and no view, so it's not someplace I'd choose again. It was convenient as we were down by Tredegar, otherwise we wouldn't have stopped. Overall, it wasn't horrible, but there was nothing to bring me back. read more

We came here for lunch. Things were great. No issues at all. Our waiter was amazing. He was always on point and around when we needed him. I loved their pronouns on their name tag! We enjoyed the pretzels, beer and sandwiches. Their chili hit the spot on a cold day. The onion rings had a little bit of a sweet taste to it, similar to a funnel cake batter. I did not like it too much. I was not wowed by the food, but everything else was perfect. read more

We came because we heard it's a great view of the city! It definitely would have been, but unfortunately we ended up sitting in the outdoor tent and weren't able to see it. The good: the view of the city (when the tent is not up) and the beer The okay: food is nothing to rave home about. Our table ordered the fish tacos and the fish and chips, and they were a little underwhelming. The fish in the tacos were dry, the French fries were very average, and the fish and chips had way more fried breading than actual fish. Come for the view and a good beer!! read more

I was visiting friends in Richmond and we wanted to get dinner before we went downtown to go to some bars. We were hungry so we wanted to go somewhere close before we crossed the river to head into the city. Some of my friends wanted to start drinking so we decided to go to a brewery not too far from where we were staying. The place seemed pretty low key from the outside, there was outdoor seating but it was cold so we decided to sit inside. The interior was very spacious, we had a pretty big group and there was no issue finding a table for all of us. The menu was pretty simple, there were appetizers, lots of sandwiches, a couple entrees, and obviously beer. I was hungry so I got the Bourbon Street, I was excited to have a filling pasta dish and I'm a fan of both chicken and shrimp so I was hoping it would be good. It didn't meet my expectations fully but it wasn't bad, I was starving so I think that made it taste a little better but had I been only a little hungry I think the food was have just been decent. The chicken was cooked well but the pasta and shrimp were just alright, the seasoning was good but it seemed like the food wasn't cooked with it, it tasted like the food was mainly seasoned at the end so the food was unevenly flavorful which I didn't really like. After finishing the meal I ordered a vegetarian chili, my friend had ordered it and he said it was good so I wanted to try it. It was meh, to be fair I don't usually eat vegetarian food but it was decently filling and not that tasty. The service we had was amazing though, it took a while for our group to figure out what we wanted and we ordered more food multiple times as people finished their food. Our server remained patient with us despite this, and I really appreciated how composed she was since we were ordering more food as she was bringing food to our table. I also got a drink, I got the brown ale, and it wasn't really my favorite, I don't think it was bad I just tend to have particular tastes for beer and the one I got wasn't amazing or anything. Overall this place was okay, it was a brewery so I wasn't expecting the food to be amazing or anything, and I basically got what I expected. The service stood out to me as being great, I appreciate out server as I could tell we were definitely testing her patience. The food was okay, I wanted a filling meal and that's what I got, and it tasted alright which is as much as I could ask for. I probably wouldn't come back here for dinner, but maybe to try more beers, which is hopefully what they're better at since they're a brewery. read more

Maybe 12 noon was a little early for drinking but I was thirsty and my feet hurt. After two hours and 5500 steps on my Fitbit of walking around the Hollywood Cemetery, I was ready for a cold and frosty painkiller. Still a little too warm to sit outside, we were inside today and had good service for a round of beers. I chose a flight and enjoyed them. I like that they let you pick them here, so I had four decent options. Their lager, pilsner, blood orange weisse and the regular weisse beers. All were delicious and served on a six-spot paddleboard with a printed list so I knew what was what. The orange was my favorite as it wasn't too sweet at all. Good stuff and a great view of the river from this side. [Review 11764 overall, 1546 of 2019.] read more

Brewery hopping in Richmond- I'd recommend adding Legend onto the list because of the vibe (this place was more lively than many other breweries during the work week), and also because of the view especially at night overlooking the city across the river. They have a full food menu, too, which is a huge plus for breweries. Their smoked wings were awesome! Huge wings cooked to juicy perfection (would def recommend). Their arugula salad with citrus vinaigrette was also great. Four stars because the drinks were just good not great, and also because service seemed disorganized. There were so many different servers, and it wasn't easy to get their attention. read more

Went here on a Sunday and was impressed with the menu selection available. Food was a little bland and fish tacos were over cooked. Saw some reviews online mentioning that you get a view of the river from here but I couldn't really see one without standing up a peering over. We ordered a few beers which seemed a little off in taste- maybe the two lines need a bit of cleaning. If the place cleaned up a bit I think they could have a real nice offering here but as it is I was underwhelmed. read more

I've been here many times and loved this place. But they've now eliminated their wait staff and it SUCKS! The whole "enjoy the deck outside" vibe is ruined!

Food was mediocre a best. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. I have been here several times over the many years it has existed at this location. I generally do very much enjoy their selection of beers. When it comes to the food I have always felt that they could have done just a little better. I keep coming here for the beer and of course also order their food. Don't get me wrong.... food is not bad, I just feel it could be a bit better. This is an amazing location to have business at... overlooking Richmond. Their live music has always been a plus when having a cold beer on a warm summer's day out side. It is also a plus they allow dogs out back in their beer garden... (should also allow dogs in their front patio -- hint, hint!) 1) Place was cleaned and welcoming. They sad us quickly out back in the patio due to us having our dog with us. 2) Waiter was Friendly and Attentive. Since we happened to be with our dog they sat us in the Beer Garden patio out back. Server gave our dog water in a bowl... for that he was rewarded with a 33% tip. It was a very nice gesture so he was rewarded for that. Sorry I don't recall his name. 3) Overall we enjoyed our visit and of course we will be retuning. This is a nice location and we love their beer. We like their food but feel it picks be just a bit better overall. The food we order today was great; however, I have come here during other visits and the food was lacking. Again, we come here generally for the beer and atmosphere which is awesome... specially in the summer or warm months when you can seat outside. read more

Came out here to enjoy the outdoors and have a few drinks. I was a little disappointed that they no longer had the charcuterie board on the menu, so we did not eat here. However, our waiter recommended an awesome place in the city to find one. He had some great recommendations for drinks, I had a "royal apple" and the "Richmonder". My boyfriend had a bold rock and some sort of Chardonnay. LOL funny how I had the hard alcohol and he went all light and boujee. Hilarious! Anyway our waiter was awesome, the scenery was nice and overall we would be back! read more

4/5, August 2021. We stopped here while visiting Richmond over the summer. It's off the beaten path relative to most of the other breweries that are located in Scott's Addition but I suspect that is only a matter of time given the amount of construction surround it. Of course Legend is one of, if not, the oldest breweries in the city. Parking in the area is lean so we got there early. They have Food and Beer both of which were very good and reasonably priced. The service was very good. We enjoyed the great view from the deck that overlooks the river and the rest of Richmond. If you're looking for a stop on a brewery tour with good food in addition to beer this is a great option. read more

Great food with great beers. They're handling the COVID situation well and have quite a lot of out door seating for everyone. Their beer selection is vast, with a lot of IPA's and a few others as well. I personally liked the ember beer since I'm not a huge IPA fan but my friend got the hazy IPA and loved it. Their food was also delicious. We got the chips and beer cheese to start and followed it with nachos. Both were incredibly filling and enough for a table of 3 to share. Will be back! read more

Like many of our exercise outings, we started walking and somehow end up at a brewery. I can't say I was a huge fan of the drinks here though. I just didn't fall in love with any of the beers we tried and ended up getting a whiskey with ice tea cocktail. Also not great. However, I really liked the atmosphere and ended up spending a couple of hours here after meeting some new friends. While I didn't care for the drinks, I did like the waitstaff.

We were excited to come here for a Jazz brunch on Sunday and came as a party of 12 with families from MD and TX. First we were seated outside under the awning with no fans and mosquitos so we asked to be moved inside. We ordered food around 11:30 and the waitress Adela was very sweet and attentive. The food was mediocre at best with descriptions sounding better than food. The sandwiches were better than the breakfast menu items. The ambiance was diner like and almost dingy. This place is 25 years old and needs fresh coat of paint and new kitchen. We were told that the Jazz started at 12. The band didn't start till 12:30 but they were good and we enjoyed a beer outside after that. Before we left, I gave feedback to the waitress and while on the patio, the manager came out and apologized which was very nice. The beers were better than the food. Not as good as Stone but decent. We give the beers a three stars. Overall, ok experience but not sure it is anything to write home about or come back for. read more

Not nearly what I remember pre-covid days. Menu much limited from what they show on website. Nothing better than fish & chips, which is amess when served (like everything there) on paper trays.
