I love when old buildings get a second life, and Post and Beam did a really nice job renovating this former Civil War Veterans' hall. The front yard could use a little sprucing, but the side patio and inside were clean and well kept. The small outdoor patio ended up being the perfect spot to sit and sip our hazy IPAs. Cool place and definitely worth a stop.

Crisp, fruity, and super refreshing, it's exactly what you want on a warm day. The taproom has a darker, cozier vibe. Our server was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the lineup well. What really adds to the charm is the building's history. Originally built in 1837 as a private academy, it later served as a Civil War veterans' hall before becoming home to the brewery. You can feel the past in the details, Post & Beam has done a great job preserving that legacy. Unfortunately, no dogs allowed inside or outside on their patio

I took my son to the new location this past weekend to try out the food. We ordered takeout. We…read moreordered the chicken fajita pizza and the fried goat cheese. This experience already started out poorly when the chef came bursting out of the kitchen to scream at the waitress who took our order. Apparently they were out of fried goat cheese. I ordered the steak and cheese egg rolls instead. That left a bad taste in my mouth to say the least seeing as he would be the one making our food. We had a soda and a cocktail while we waited for our food. The waitress is the only reason I'm giving this place any stars because she was kind and pleasant to interact with. The food took a while to come out and the establishment was not busy. When we got home the pizza looked lackluster. It was supposed to be a chicken fajita pizza but had banana peppers on it instead of bell peppers. The pizza was not good and we did not even eat half of it. The egg rolls were greasy and not flavorful. You would be much better off going to another pizza restaurant in town. This is our second time visiting the new location and the first time trying the food. We will not be back.

It is neighbors, regulars, and townies packed in by happy hour grabbing a beer after work. It is the kind of place where you run into someone you know and have a couple cold ones. This place is not trying to win awards for food, because the food is not the point. The point is community. It is a place to sit at the bar, talk with familiar faces, and unwind. Some of these reviews seem way off the mark. The bar itself is actually great; clean, well kept, and one of the nicer classic American-style bars around. But if you are passing through town looking for some eclectic bar experience, this probably is not your place. This one belongs to US locals. So out of towners stay away!

They also have some non-alcoholic drinks. The food was fantastic! My burger was cooked perfectly, and was the best burger I've had in many years (plus a bonus - they have GF buns). The sweet potatoes fries are the best I've ever had. The pizzas ("flatbreads") looked good, and were large. There is plenty of space inside to have a conversation with friends, and not feel crowded with others.

Indoors is dull and lifeless on a late Friday afternoon; it's the beginning of May and the outdoor beer garden isn't open. Gift shop seems like its lacking stock. Smoked chicken wings almost inedible, burnt on the outside and extremely dry on the inside, absolutely no taste. Brisket chili was just OK.

Their huge 275-seat event space was packed at tables for 4 to 8, for the two 1-hour sets of Live Dead & Brothers Band, an Allman Brothers - Grateful Dead group of legacy musicians from those bands and families!!! An authentic rockin' performance! They opened hot, with Feelin' Alright and Truckin', and ended hot with Midnight Rider, Ramblin' Man, and Jessica, with around 14 more between. The acoustics were excellent at our table, and we also took up our share of the crowded dance area :-) Their tour continues at least through Dec 2026. Our tickets were about $50 each. Service was fast and friendly, and they let us pull up one more chair for our group of nine. You can get crafted beers and cocktails. We settled in with ice cold regional beers, which honestly are just as distinctive as fancy craft beers. We got some food to share off their "concert menu", too. An entrée-size dish of rich creamy homemade Mac & Cheese, made with tasty aged Grafton Cheddar, soft slightly-al-dente curly Cavatappi pasta tubes, not-overcooked green beans, as i recall, crisply crusted with lightly-maple breadcrumbs. Very flavorful and satisfying. A sweet fresh bright Autumn Salad of greens, pecans, and bright beets, in tart vinaigrette. And juicy "Bull Run Classic" burgers with crisp lettuce, tasty firm tomato, mildly-sharp red onion, and, for one of them, an add-on of rich cheddar, all on a cloud-like brioche bun. They do ask for $20 per person food/beverage minimum for all shows, essentially an entree or a couple beverages each. That's about what we had planned to order anyway :-) This place knocked us out with their dedication to farm-to-table ingredients, sourced from more than 25 regional farms named on the dinner menu. We've never seem such an extensive list of the actual sources. Very cool! The Bull Run has been a tavern since 1741, named after the Battle of Bull Run in 1861, (or in another version, named for a brawl in the tavern at the same time :-), and has been run by the Guercios extended-family since 1946. It was a stop on the stagecoach route and a gathering place for the Revolutionary war. We loved the original wood, structure, and décor. The fireplaces were lovely. It's a huge venue. Bull Run has live music every week, and they're open Wed-Sun, but watch their schedule because dates vary, sometimes one day that week, sometimes all four! This show was in their 275-seat room. There's at least one larger room for around 400. Theres a little parking along Rt 2A, and much more out back across the covered bridge. Dont be put off by the rustic exterior. We loved this legendary performance at a legendary restaurant!
