    I never pass up a chance to have a West Coast IPA
    Marc B.

    This is an incredible location at the dairy market in Charlottesville, Virginia. You can grab food from one of the many vendors and the food court and bring your food to the bar and enjoy a Starhill beer. I was pleasantly surprised to find a West Coast IPA on their menu, which I always fall in love with. Every bartender I've ever come in contact with at Star Hill is always so helpful and friendly. This brewery should always be on your must stop list when traveling to or through Charlottesville.

    Lots of seating inside and outside. Had the Hazy IPA since they said it was a best selling beer. I tend to agree. More dank than juicy which I prefer. Worth returning for more tastes.

    Starr Hill is the glue to the Dairy Market. It helps bring everyone together. When ordered our food we go in different directions but Starr Hill brings us together every time. It doesn't matter if you want indoor seating or outdoor seating, live music or catching the game Starr Hill has something for you. Ramble On is my typical go-to, but if they have their Tripel on tap it has my full attention. As the weather warms up they host live music out on the patio. Nice to sit back, enjoy a beer, and listen to music outside downtown. Parking is in a paid lot next door (free for first hour). Dogs are welcome outside (with dog bowls), but not inside. They have tables specifically marked for Starr Hill. Just know that if you don't have something from Starr Hill they might ask you to move to a non-Starr Hill table.

    Great spot in Charlottesville! Plenty of tables inside and a huge outside area as well. Many beers to choose from plus some spiked seltzers. Would definitely recommend.

    Alright Starr Hill, you have make me and my sour-loving friends very happy. They have some amazing options on draft right now, so if you are a fan of smoothie beers get a pint of the X-HAALT: one of the better smoother sours I've tried and it's 9%! The Peach Love was also incredible, and had a strong peachy flavor that perfectly complemented the wheat beer base.

    Located now in Charlottesville proper (ironically in the same spot another brewery used to be) inside the dairy market. Great to be able to sample all the beers and have a great selection of food to take into the space (though the beer has to stay inside the brewery boundaries). It looks like they are even going to do some small batch brewing onsite which is a neat feature. Star Hill has a great selection of beers and there is something on there for everyone, from the bitterest of IPA lovers to the sourest of the sours to the deep coffee/malt of the stouts.

    It's good to have Starr Hill back in Charlottesville. I remember going when they were located on West Main. Now they have a new location inside the Dairy Market. They just opened this location yesterday. Nice selection on tap, crowlers available, and a refrigerated to go section. Bartenders allowed us to sample a few things as they had at least 4 variants of the chocolate stout on draft. We ended up selecting Ramble On and the Irish Red. The stouts were good, but we selected beers that paired well with our lunches. It's definitely going to thrive in the Dairy Market, as it's nice to enjoy lunch with a beer.

    Had not been there before. Went on the recommendation of our son. Beer was terrific and the service was great. Will return next time back.

    The atmosphere is great as well, they have a huge seating section that takes up a big chunk of the Dairy Market.

    Great veteran owned brewery with chill employees, great selection of beers and plenty of seating…read moreinside and outside. Husband enjoyed his flight and even got a growler fill of one of the beers he liked. Loved that they have a large selection of games to play.

    My husband and I came here with our 2 dogs a few weeks ago while in town to go hiking. We saw…read moreonline that they had a very large, pet-friendly beer garden, so we came here after a long day of hiking to relax with some beers. When we arrived, the parking lot was very full and we quickly realized that they had trivia going on inside. While working our way through the taproom to go outside, we had to walk past a table that is right next to the patio door. It had a big trivia group around it and they had a very reactive dog that lunged and tried to bite both of our dogs. Not a great start to our time there. Once we got outside, we realized we could sit anywhere because not one other person was outside. I stayed by a fire pit area with the dogs while my husband went inside to grab beers. He came back with our first round and we planned out some more places we wanted to go to in Charlottesville during our stay. Not once while we were there (for 2 hours or so) did a single staff member come out to check on us or offer to turn on the gas fire pit. My husband said that the woman at the bar the couple of times he went up there was friendly enough, but there were several other people on staff that didn't acknowledge him/us our whole visit. As it got closer to closing time, we noticed people leaving, but the parking lot seemed to stay full with the same amount of cars. I'm not sure if there is a car repair place nearby and they share parking or if 90% of the people inside decided to ride share home, but it made us think for a long time that a lot of people were still inside for trivia night. My husband went inside to close out and saw that only one other table was still there, so we packed up our stuff we brought for the dogs and went to head inside to leave after finishing the last of our beers. We took our empty glasses up to the bar and the last table inside had just left, so we were the last customers. The woman standing at the end of the bar completely ignored us, didn't thank us for coming in, and stayed on her phone the whole time. It was just super rude and only enhanced the overall unpleasant experience we had during our time there. The beers were good and they seemed like a popular spot for a trivia night, so maybe it's better to visit and stay inside, but we didn't have a good time and wouldn't come back if we are ever in town again. I did really like that they had a community area for fresh food for people in need.
