Big points for being the only ones in Staunton that were open on a Tuesday afternoon! Mama and I each got a flight and we were both happy with the variety available and quality of the product. I had a DIPA, Breakfast Stout, Saison, and a Brown Ale. Three of the four made me want to indulge in a full pint. They have a generous amount of outdoor seating that is super dog friendly. There is a food truck around the corner with similar hours although we didn't check that place out. But with outdoor seating, food availability, and really good beer, I'd gladly go 30 minutes out of the way to visit them again! 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

Not just that... we had to open a tab with him at the bar for our iced teas and then walk to another window to order food (on a separate bill) and then pick up our food at another window. I didn't ask if we were required to bus the tables ourselves when we were done. Problem is, I'm in a walking boot and that's just not possible. The bartender just shrugged so we left. I'm not sure if that's the norm here or we hit a day they were under staffed as we're out of towners. Either way, I know it's an incomplete review, but it was an incomplete experience, so this is the best rating I can offer.

I was already not in the mood for anymore drinking after spending a weekend in a major tournament in Lynchburg. Anyways, for a Saturday evening, this place was pretty packed both inside and outside. We both ended up getting a flight of beers each and every one was great. The food surprised me as my fish tacos was super fresh. The chips and queso was also great. Overall, a must see - especially for the view of the mountains if you decided to eat outdoors.

Brewery # 445…read more Devil's Backbone is a very large operation it seems. They make beer, the make bourbon, and they make food. They just do them all very slowly or at least they did when I was there. We came here on a Monday evening, and it was somewhat busy but there were visible empty tables and a couple spots at the bar. We went to the bar and waited awhile before the bartender asked what we wanted. I didn't ask for a flight because he seemed too busy. Whatever I wanted they were out of, but I ended up with an Imperial 16-point IPA which was quite tasty. I also got some chicken nachos, but I had to go stand in line to order them. They were adequate but not worth the wait. The place was very disorganized. They had workers always standing by the hostess desk, but the bartender was overwhelmed. Seemed like they should have had more than one, after all it is a brewery. Would have loved to try more beer but we just left and went back into Lexington for another round at another place. I don't know maybe it was just a bad night.

Little did I know, I was about to have a Beer and Music.! I saw HAPP Coffee, (my favorite local craft coffee) But they were closed. Shortly after was Basic City Beer. I rode down the curvy driveway and parked in the Premium Scooter Spacing reserved for the big boys on music nights. The Experience: As soon as I walked in, one of the bartenders came around the bar and showed me his tattoo of The Used, coincidentally the same band t shirt I was wearing. We exchanged names and Trystan poured me up a Basic Ought Dark(yet light). He told me BuckCherry was playing at The Foundry (connected to the brewery). Me being an event videographer, I asked the ticketing booth at the Foundry if they needed anyone to shoot. Due to Artist Contracts I was not allowed. I headed back to the bar and this time, Cayla served me up The Lady (6th Lord Variant). Service so far had been great! I'm drinking on my Beer and one of the Foundry management comes and tells me there was a free ticket someone left at the counter that couldn't make it. I could have it but couldn't use any fancy equipment. I shoot on my IPhone and I was absolutely wowed with such genuity from this place. Thank you all for such a memorable time in Waynesboro.

I especially liked the dark lager, which had almost a porter or stout taste with the lighter flavor of a lager. They also have a couple of guest taps here meaning they serve a couple of beers from other breweries. You can get half pours of the beers so you can try more types without getting too full. It was Sunday so of course they had football on, I was able to grab a seat on their well worn but very comfortable couch in the arcade room and enjoy my beverages while watching some football. They also have outdoor seating if you want to sit outside when the weather is good. The arcade room is large and has a variety of old school arcade games including skee ball, air hockey, basketball, football, pinball, and some video games. They're worth a try but don't expect to be as good at them as you were as a kid. Service was very friendly here and I'll come back here next time I'm in the area.

The brewery is huge, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space plus some outdoor games, which made it easy to spread out even though it was pretty packed. It never felt uncomfortably crowded, which says a lot. The night we went, they had live music with several artists performing, and for a $10 cover, it was absolutely worth it--everyone we saw was pretty good. Service was good, the vibe was lively but not chaotic, and it's the kind of spot you can hang out for hours without feeling rushed. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely return.
