The atmosphere is pretty sweet, chill, good music, and great local art. Beer was cold, the blond lager was tasty.
Red Dragon Brewery is a craft brewery close to historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. My buddy and I went on a December Saturday during the pandemic. Since it was cold outside, their outdoor patio seating was closed. We opted for a brief inside visit. Tables were far from each other, masks enforced and the high ceilings gives it better circulation. On a hard-to-read TV near the bar is the menu that rotates. My friend ordered an IPA and I tried their two sour ales. The IPA was solid and the tart cherry sour was spot on. They offer full pours or smaller pours in case you want to try a few.
This is a really nice brewery and tap room in the old town section of Fredericksburg Virginia. They offer an nice selection of beers, including New England, American and English styles. They also have a seltzer and a summer shandy. They offer growlers to go as well as cans of some of their regular offerings. The interior tap room is nicely decorated with art work from local artists. The windows are large which gives it a nice open atmosphere. They have a television on the back wall. It reminds me of some of the bars in London. I sampled the Sideways IPA, English IPA and The Danny Boy Blonde. All were really good. I took a growler of the Danny Boy home. When in the area, definitely check this place out.
I'd argue that Red Dragon is one of the best breweries in the state, especially when it comes to fruit-heavy sours. Their creamsicles are on par with Jreams and the Never series. I hope one day they can distribute to RVA. As it stands, I know their production is super small, so I hope to return to try more iterations of the series in coming months. In late April I planned an oil change nearby to give myself an excuse to finally visit. I had tried their stuff at festivals and heard amazing reviews from other beer friends, but I had never stepped foot in their tasting room until that point. It was a hot and hazy Sunday and I ordered a couple half pours -- a mango cherry tart and a mixed berry creamsicle. Both were phenomenal of course. I then moved from a table to a seat that opened along the bar and got to chatting with the guys working (and other patrons at the bar also). They were all super friendly and knowledgeable about the regional brewery scene. If I lived in Fredericksburg, I'd be a regular for sure. Since I don't, I'll continue to root them on from afar.
Perfect brewery for a Saturday afternoon. I loved the Hose thay has real fruit. Just wish they sold those in crowlers. Food truck in site but no food in brewery. If you areintogose and sours, you can this is your place. Also no tvs, but they focus on beer and conversation. Definately a stop in Fredericksburg.
The latest in an explosions of local breweries. Red Dragon actually feels more like a pub than a brewery (not that there is anything wrong with that). Where as some breweries have kinda a rough home spun quality to them, this feels a tad more polished, like an Irish pub that just opened where everything is still shiny. But the patrons were locals, who are lucky enough to live in walking distance (this is also set in town, just off the main strip). I chatted a while with my very friendly server (and maybe owner?) and he explained how they haven't yet settled on any flagship beers. But I was happy to see that none of their beers - even their IPAs - seemed especially bitter. Finally, a brewery that doesn't feel like it must be a competitor in the "IPA arms race"! But what they are producing seems to be popular, with several recent editions selling out fast. Their 4 barrel system isn't as tiny as some places, but the batches are still small so never last long. While they had 12 beers on tap, although several of those had just kicked. That's OK, I did a selection of 4 (and a tiny sample of a 5th) and was quite happy with what I found. Morning Dew Double IPA: First off I admit I was skeptical; I'm not an IPA fan by any means. That said, I love what they did with this. "Juicy" is an apt description, and it's bereft of the high bitterness factor many IPAs have. For the first time in a while, I can say I've found an IPA I'd order a pint of. Irish Stout: Kinda malty finish. Not bad, but not a Guinness. "Tell No Lies" Smoked beer: OK I admit; I did this just to try it. I'm not a fan of smoked beer but I do appreciate a place that's willing to experiment. Maybe not as smoky as some others I've had recently. Magpie English Brown: Another style that's hit-or-miss for me. I wouldn't mind reordering it, but it wasn't as high on my go-to list as some others. Not especially bitter and smoother than some other brown ales I've had lately. Unfortunately their Saison and Imperial IPA were both out, but they had several items that sounded tasty brewing up. I'll have to check back with them periodically so I can run back before they sell out again.
We stopped by Red Dragon Brewery because our son told us they serve Kellerbier. If you ever spent a day in Germany, or ever wanted to, the Kellerbier reminds me of Bavaria! Both Kellerbier and Kellerbier dunkle are brewed with old world craftsmanship. Highly recommended stopping by if you have a craving for great beer!
Date of visit 03/16/2019 We stopped in for a brew or two (who am I kidding...I went along with my hubby and daughter, I don't like beer!). We had been celebrating my daughter's birthday all weekend so this was the 3rd brewery of the weekend. Red Dragon is a cute place. I liked that they have a nice variety of board games to play at your table while you hang out there. It was a beautiful day, weather wise, and the large garage type doors were open. We played cards at the table while my two enjoyed a few different beers especially the half pours which allowed them to try even more.
4/5 October, 2025. We stopped here while visiting family in the area. We were impressed by the ambiance and service right off the bat. The theme is a Welsh bar, hence the Red Dragon. The beer was good, definitely better than your average craft brewery if not quite on part with the absolute best. The parking immediately at the brewery is a bit tight but there are some municipal lots within a few blocks. Would definitely recommend it and we'll be back in the future. read more

Stopped by here tonight for a brew before dinner at a restaurant in Old Town. Beer was good, and the atmosphere was very chill there. Very informal, and the waitress was VERY nice and helpful. We out of there by 5:00pm on a Saturday night, and it was not crowded. I can't speak for what it gets like there later in the evening on a weekend. My wife and I split a flight, and then we split another beer of our favorite. All of the beers they serve are made there. We only got beer, but the pretzel that the people down the bar got looked REALLY good. Princess Anne Street is interesting. Red Dragon is in a pretty run-down commercial area, and I wouldn't be comfortable wandering around there at night. However, you go a block-and-half toward Old Town and when you cross Fauquier Street, it's like flipping a light switch. Suddenly, you're in a historic residential area. read more

Open air warehouse feel. Hipster bartenders. All the sours you could possibly want. I've never enjoyed spurs before coming to Red Dragon. I got the mango sour and it was pretty phenomenal! It almost tasted like a mimosa. This is a wonderful stop and you should definitely check it out. read more

Red Dragon is the premier spot in Northern Virginia for fruity sour beers. They always have a few on draft, and they are always unique and excellent. Go in the summer when it really hits! read more

My brothers and I stopped in Red Dragon during their grand opening last Saturday. This is a great new spot for Fredericksburg and it's got huge potential! I decided on a flight of the Red IPA, the Stout, the Blonde Belgian and the Kolsch. The IPA and the Stout were my favorites. The stout was nice and smooth and just a hint of coffee which was perfect. It looked like they had a new IPA coming out on Sunday, which I look forward to trying next time! Even for a grand opening we were able to find a hi-top with enough seats. The order and pay line is simple and I like how it makes it less crowded at the bar - you pick up your beer from a different area when they call your name. Employees walked around clearing glasses from tables which was nice. We were able to find street parking not far away. They don't serve food, but you can bring any food in or have it delivered. They had a menu available for an Irish pub down the street, but we weren't really feeling it and ordered Papa Johns instead. Still, it would be nice to see some bowls pretzels or Chex Mix out for those who just want a little snack. I was just visiting for the weekend from out of town, but next time I'm in Fredericksburg it will definitely be a stop for me! read more

Brand new brewery in old historic fredericksburg. Good amount of parking, fresh and delicious brews and an excellent, laid back atmosphere are tied together by a friendly staff make this a place to make sure you visit. Try the Pound Sterling ESB when you get over there. It's especially good! For a non-alcoholic option, give the root beer a go - you won't be disappointed! read more

Very nice establishment. Well lit and family friendly with plenty O games for the kids to enjoy while the parents enjoy their beverages. There was a selection of 13 beers to choose from and sample. 12 available for flights so we tried them all. We really didn't expect to enjoy them all, but they were all really great beers in there own way. Nothing offensive. Will definitely be visiting there again. Light snacks available but they do allow outside meals brought in to enjoy. read more
