    Strangeways is consistently amazing! I first had Strangeways at their Richmond location back in 2016. So moving back to this area and discovering they had a location closer to my new home was exciting. My partner loves lagers and I like fruity "girly" beers. Strange has enough section to suit both our preferences. The service is great, and the bar tenders are personable and knowledgeable. There's plenty of seating and an outdoor area. An absolute gem to add to the shops at High St.

    Great beer selection (along with some wine and cider). Decent food / snack menu as well. For most of the time we were there, however, there was only one person working, so there was a bit of a wait. Toilet in women's restroom didn't flush. Nice outdoor seating area in warmer weather.

    Strangeways Brewing in Williamsburg earns a solid 4 stars for its vibrant atmosphere and creative events. The recent "Books & Brews" adult book fair on May 31 was a standout--combining local authors, vintage book vendors, and a nostalgic Scholastic Book Fair vibe with craft beer. With friendly staff and a spacious, eclectic setting, Strangeways continues to be a top spot for unique experiences in Williamsburg.

    Great little brewery. Excellent selection of brews and friendly service. Murder Hornet definitely a top IPA.

    I've been to the Richmond location as well. This location is in a shopping center and much more modern. The inside is colorful, open spaced and lots of cool wild game mounts on the walls. The beer menu is large with lots of cool flavors. The lucky charms sour is soo cool and they put actual cereal on top. There's an imperial version as well.

    Alright this gets 3 stars because the beers are not good! Sampled 6 of them and only one was decent. They do have a huge beer list but maybe narrow it down a bit and focus on making the beers better. The three stars are for good service and the venue is nice and large. Their outside area is nice and they even have live music occasionally on the weekends. You can bring in food from outside places to eat.

    BLUF: great variety, worth a stop. Bring friends. Grab some beer to go! Excellent variety of beers (Berliner Weiss was my favorite), friendly and knowledgeable staff, relaxed (and strange, but in a good way) vibe. Flights come with 4-10 5.5 oz pours. Come with friends and order a variety so you can try many different things.

    I don't write enough reviews, but believe me when I say this place is amazing! The bartender was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. I loved the atmosphere of the brewery as well. Their swag is amazing, I've never seen a brewery that sells spill mats, but I'm going to have to order one online soon. Can't go wrong with tortilla chips and nacho cheese; though I didn't enjoy the mozzarella sticks, the rest of the table did. Every beer I tried was amazing and their flights are so cool. My friend bought me a growler of the Cherry Ambrose Belgian Quadrupel, probably the best beer I've ever had (I am writing this with a glass in my hand).

    Awesome service, they will treat you like a friend, well worth the visit. Taproom manager Jenna is awesome, so is Antonio

    Flight options available (up to 10 choices)

    Very cool open brewery in Williamsburg. Located near a ton of shopping and food options. This brewery offers flights and single serve beers. Complimentary peanuts with purchase! The we went on a Saturday during lunch (12:30pm). It was quiet with only a few patrons. Loved the openness of the space. They have a small food menus available. Loved the large selection of beer and seltzer.

    Two 13 oz drinks

    I've always loved going to Strangeways when I would visit Richmond, so when I heard they were opening up here, I was pumped! Their location is a great spot with tons of outdoor and indoor seating options. They have A TON of beer selections as well as wine, so something for everyone! I love the vibe and there is a ton of merch to purchase. The only downside (I'd give 4.5 stars if possible) is how noisy it gets inside. It is hard to have a conversation or even order if it's busy of there's a band playing. But, like I said, there are so many outdoor seating options. Go and enjoy! Cheers!

    Beer flights can include 3-10 beers of your choosing.

They also came with fries or onion rings, funnel cake fries, and a drink of your choice. Two of the guys had the root beer and said it was pretty good. Now as for the dogs, the two guys that had the coneys were happy with them, although one was hoping for a little more spice from the chili, but it was by no means bad. The burnt ends dog was said to be pretty freaking good. As for the American dog, we'll that was a different story. It wasn't a bad dog, but it tasted like it had been boil cooked and not cooked on the griddle. Additionally, it wasn't really that warm. I guess warm is a good description for it. It would have been better if it was hot and you could see some cooking marks on it. Alas, it was and had neither. But again, it wasn't a bad dog, but it could have been much better. The onion rings were pretty tasty though, as were the funnel cake fries and crinkle cut fries. This night was Wednesday, so it was trivia night. At 6:30. At about 6:00 people really started to come in, and by 6:30, the place was packed. Guess trivia night is a big hit... The people working there were super friendly and you fealt as if they were happy to be there. I would have given it 5 stars, but tbe warm dog just brought my experience down a bit. But don't let that stop you from going there, because you'll probably have a good time with good food and good people.
