Painkiller Fizzee
Lowella G.

I'm not a big beer drinker but I do like that this place has a variety that you can choose from and sample before purchasing. I had my eyes set on the hornswoggler because it had chocolate in it. The nice man behind the counter poured me a little sample before I ordered a glass of it. I tried it. It was okay. So he suggested I try the painkiller fizzee instead. I did and fell in love with it immediately so I ordered that. It was so refreshing and paired well with the shrimp quesadilla, Gypsy quesadilla and birria tacos. I came here with family when we were in town for the weekend and the Veil Brewing was one of the recommended local favorites. We enjoyed our time here. I mean, how can you pass up good food and brewskis? I'd come here again next time we're in town.

Nice modern venue. Beer & Food menu nicely projected behind the bar. Friendly staff, great beer selection & unique food. Looking forward to our next visit

A group of us went here after a company training class.. It has somewhat limited parking but there is indoor and outdoor seating. They have a pretty good variety of beers to choose from. I was driving so I did not have the chance to try as many as I would have liked. The beer I had was a lager and it was very good. I hope to be back again when i can try a few more of what they have on draft.

It's the best brewery in richmond! I don't like beer but I love it here! They have great options for those that don't like beer and even gluten free options! This past time I got a frozen punch and it was so refreshing! And it's even better that after you've had a drink they have great food from y tu mama! I got a quesadilla with chicken and pineapple and it was amazing! The staff is great and the atmosphere is so cool! They have great outdoor spaces but the inside is what shines! It is a cool mix of industrial, with moody grey walls and a cool neon installation over the bar! Go try them out!

A true Richmond staple, the Veil is one of my favorite breweries in town. I'm not a big beer person, so their smoothie style sours always come to save the day when I'm there. I love this location so much because it's never insanely busy and it's walking distance from me. I'm also a big fan of Y Tu Mama that's inside this location (everything on the menu is amazing). For those who don't know, The Veil is so fun because the beers rotate. There is always something fresh and new to try. The designs are epic. If you take some cans home (or check their IG) you'll get to truly enjoy the art. The vibe here is great. It's very edgy and trendy. Between the massive neon art piece and the other accents, you're bound to find a great angle for your Yelp pic. I also adore the music they play at this location. Never have I ever pulled my phone out so many times to Shazam a song at a brewery like I do at the Forest Hill Veil. This place is great for groups or one on ones. I love this place!

Neon sign second floor
Amanda E.

The inside has such a cool vibe and decor including a red neon sign you can see from the second floor. There is plenty of seating including an outdoor patio. I don't drink alcohol and very much appreciated the two NA beer options. The NA IPA tasted the closest to a real beer than I maybe have ever had! We didn't try the food but I've heard amazing things about Y Tu Mama and the menu looked awesome. Also lots of merch options with super funky designs.

The veil is an awesome place to check out with friends or for a date night. The ambiance was really dark and moody but it a good way. The line went quick and there was a large section to pick from. My friend and I were wanting to try one of their non alcoholic options and it was amazing! Can't remember the name but it was pineapple and passion fruit flavored. Perfect level of sour to sweet. Next time we come back we will be trying some of their sours!

Love the vibe here!!!! I actually came her to visit y tu mama and fell in love with the Tefnut Blueberry and Blackberry (Frozen) beer!!! First, I had no idea that beer slushies were a thing and now that I do babyyyyy this will be a regular thing for me!!! I had full intentions of trying a few beers but after tasting this, I was one and done and it was my bev of choice. Clearly, I will have to come back and try all the beers!! The interior is fabulous. Beautiful from the inside out. There is plenty of seating from outdoor, downstairs, upstairs and even a covered rooftop patio which is a vibe all in its own. Staff is super helpful, offering suggestions if you are unsure and patient to let you figure it out if you so chose. They do a good job of keeping everything clean and well maintained in all areas. Excited to return and make my way threw all the brews!!

Very exciting to have a brewery close to my neighborhood. The space is beautiful and they are taking all the precautions to keep safe during COVID. There are so many beers to choose from, I don't like IPA's (and Veil has several of them) so I tried a "smoothie" beer instead. It sounds odd but is so delicious! The lil brekkie has a strong maple flavor and it really does taste like breakfast. My only concern is that parking is extremely limited and the spaces are pretty tight. When the other shops open up, parking could be a problem.

Chicken quesabirria tacos
Cianah H.

This place is great if you want some delicious Mexican food. My Birria tacos were amazing! As far as the drinks go, I'd probably skip this place. Which sucks because it's a brewing company, and that's what you should mainly be there for. I was there with 3 other people and we didn't stay long. Their beer menu is just so limited that we just got bored quickly. Maybe in the summer or fall they'll have more options? Idk.

The Chesterfield burrito without a tortilla & the Ever Calm
Amelia H.

Weird pitch, but this brewery is a good spot even if you don't drink alcohol. As someone who doesn't drink going to a brewery is usually a boring & awkward experience. However, the Veil is an exception to this. I've been twice & had great experiences both times. First time they only had soda as a nonalcoholic option, which is fine because some breweries don't even offer that.The second time I went the Veil had really good nonalcoholic brew, Ever Calm. It is made with crushed pineapple and passion fruit. I really enjoyed this drink because it was fruity & fun without being overly sugary. It's also in a served draft glass, so I don't feel like the odd man out by being the only person drinking out of a bottle. Silly I know, but it makes a difference. Of course the food at Y Tu Mamá is also incredible. During both visits I got the Chesterfield burrito without a tortilla -- it's one of the few foods where every bite is incredible. With super tender pork & plenty of cheese, what more could you ask for? 10/10 can't wait to go again.

The Chesterfield
Sara M.

I came opening day at 12:15 because I love The Veil! This is their 2nd Richmond location and it's a 10min walk from my house. Not that I need to walk because they have plenty of parking. The building is brand new and has an industrial feel. Two floors and two bars. Plenty of neon! It's got all the same beers from the Scott's Addition location with the bonus of Mexican food. Opening day was smashing! I have also gone back on a weekday and it was just as awesome. There is plenty of space, it's really set up well for Covid. The bar line was moving quickly and I think I waited 5min for food. I love their DIPA's and Starve D was excellent. We got burritos and the Del Mar and Chesterfield were super good and huge! The second time I went and got the Quesobirria (sorry about my spelling) and they were great. I cannot wait to come back!!

We arrived on Thursday night around 8 pm, and the parking was hit or miss. I had to circle the…read moreblock to find a spot, but it was pretty close once I did. I noticed the ice cream/yogurt spot nearby was hopping. There was a person asking for change outside the front door. We were greeted by an enthusiastic host and seated immediately at a booth up front. The server came by within seconds and brought us water and place settings. We decided to get the chips and salsa for an appetizer and a pair of melting chimichangas for entrees. I can't resist some chorizo and steak. My partner got the chimichanga without chorizo and with chicken. The ambiance was colorful with beautifully painted murals on each wall, and the atmosphere was undeniably loud. There were lots of patrons. The place was packed, even at the bar, so your mileage may vary. We received our orders within minutes of each other, so there wasn't much of a wait time. The chips and salsa were homemade, fresh, warm, and delicious (muy rico). Same for the entrees; exactly what I want in a Mexican food restaurant. The chorizo and steak were well-cooked, seasoned, and chopped finely, but not ground. I was in heaven with that chimichanga. We had to take home leftovers. The next night, heated in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes, they were similarly excellent. The night ended without dessert, sadly (too full). However, the server was quick and efficient, and he was always around to fill water and bring anything we needed throughout the meal. Great experience overall. We will definitely return here whenever we have a hankering for some good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I can recommend this place to anyone who appreciates hearty and filling Mexican food.

The ambiance can be described as eclectic and casual. It's great for big groups and relaxed lunches. There's a variety of menu options for food and drink. Our server was nice, but she didn't really answer our questions about the menu or substitutions, which was a little inconvenient. Also, we kept having to ask for utensils and napkins, which made our food get a bit cold. The pineapple habanero margarita tasted like spicy pineapple juice and was pretty expensive. It was pretty, but not worth the money. The food also was really average, but the portion sizes were good for sharing. The huitlacoche tacos were a little bland and soggy, the chicken chipotle tacos had a good sauce but were also soggy and the fajitas did not have enough seasoning. Not a restaurant that I would come back to, but I liked it's proximity to other dessert places nearby.

This…read moreMexican restaurant is Jalisco style serving up an incredible diverse offering of food and drinks. Some of my favorites include the Cochi Loco Taco, the Birria Quesadilla, Carne Asada Fries, and I love their chips and queso. They also serve different flavors of agua fresca, and an amazing assortment of fresh fruity cocktails. Everything is aesthetically pleasing, and the looks match the food. I also love that they have a salsa bar where I can serve myself different type of salsa and peppers and onions, etc. The atmosphere is fast paced, but kind of exciting. It's really packed in there pretty much any time you go so keep that in mind It's not a place that you could really bring a bag or relax and work or have a solo date. It's really a place to hang out with friends and have a good time

She was so kind and was like don't worry I got it. I was cleaning some of the sauce on the floor and she just was like no I got it. Also, I had a toddler that was having a total meltdown. The lady was trying to help me with that! There was a language barrier, but she was just trying to know his age and tried to smile at him. It was also the evening time so, it was busy, but she was just so calm and helpful. I didn't get a name, but you are amazing and hope you are doing well! Tacos were the best I had since my trip to the Bay in '19. Al pastor was perfect. My husband said the chicken quesadilla is the best he's ever had in his life. All the food was what we wanted and it hit that taco craving. Like everyone has said, it's as good as west coast tacos.
