Been here a few times now & yeah - the beer is legit. Bar tender this time gave me a few suggestions as I was picking his brain on different beers. I hate to be so basic but man, their Master Shredder IPA is just so damn good. This time got Yearn, Melancholia, No More Flowers and Master Shredder. No flights but 6oz pours. Bar tender said Master Shredder was one of their best sellers and most popular... Knew why immediately. Also Remedy burger gave me one of the best burgers Ive had in a long time... The Mushroom Burger was killer. Cool spot, awesome beer, solid food. Im not saying anything someone else hasnt said already, but they do an excellent job all the way around and I appreciate this spot! read more

Pretty cool brewery with an industrial feel and plenty of seating both inside and outside as well as upstairs. Husband enjoyed his beers and I enjoyed the vibes. We both enjoyed the nachos we ordered! Service was good too! Didn't take very long for our food to be done! Only downside is that there is not a ton of parking so on a crowded day could be hard to find a spot! read more

Variety of brews. This place is quite large and has plenty of seating. They also have portions that you can rent out for larger groups. The Veil also shares and has a food spot with Remedy burger. We ordered truffle fries and they had a strong presence of truffle oil. They have a wide variety of beers you can choose from and some with some odd flavors. There is one sour currently that they use clams which was interesting. I went for their ipas and they had such a good list. I had the imaginary kiss and master shredder, both which were very good. I'd definitely come back and try more of their beers. read more

Went here when on a girls trip to Richmond. The space is huge. Large menu with a variety of beers. The Veil is known for its IPAs. I wasn't impressed with the lighter beer I got (told the bartender to surprise me out of a few options). The place was busy but not packed. They have a limited burger menu but it was all tasty. I think there are better breweries in Richmond, but The Veil is perfectly fine. read more

Any time we're back in the area, I love love love coming to the Veil! We're from Denver and have our share of great breweries, but there's something special about Veil that draws me back every time - I dream about their Never Again raspberry gose. I got a few tasters to try and neither sour disappointed. There was ample seating outside for a nice and sunny day! Only gripe is stickers should be free - c'mon, it's 2025 and we're spending lots of money at your brewery ;) Great visit again. read more

Great beer! Fantastic place to sit back and hangout with friends and have a good beer. Love going here!!

I want to go back and try more because the single beer I did try was EXCELLENT and also unique! We got the Never More (because we were kind of on a Poe kick that day... or every day), which was a really unique fruity gose. It had a thick mouthfeel and a dark ruby color. There was just enough saltiness. It was a special brew, and this one alone makes me want to go back and try more. Also, I can't review without mentioning the decor. The bear by the front door is definitely a photo piece, not to mention the cool bathrooms. This place oozes cool. I can see why it is so popular! read more

The Veil is known as one of the best breweries in Richmond, so I don't think they need much of an introduction. The newer Scott's Addition location is an awesome space. At the time of this review they also have a Japanese restaurant inside as well, that will be changing soon (On August 20, 2025). The staff is knowledgeable and helpful about their beer. If you like IPA's this is your spot. Its a hop heavy menu with various types such as New England Hazy, West Coast, even a 0 IBU IPA. I tried two IPA's this visit which will rotate semi frequently and can say that The Veil maintains its quality, as I've visited on another occasions. No matter what you order here your mind will be blown. The neon lights with the black walls give it a cool vibe thats chill that even if you're coming by yourself you can relax. It has ample seating and a patio, making it a spot you should be a regular at all times of the year. read more

This brewery is a really cool space. I enjoyed the decor and the layout. Unfortunately, I cannot recall what beer I ordered, and I cannot figure it out from the website's draught list. That said, I enjoyed this nameless/faceless beer. Ordering and paying were easy. No complaints. read more

Had our dogs with us, so had to stay outside but had An awesome time! Plenty of picnic tables and standing tables which we liked even better! They had bike racks which were really convenient to tie our dogs to, and the vibe was fun. They had Mexican music playing which felt odd for a brewery- but we were digging it. The beer list is out of this world! Was so hard to pick, I had to ask someone in line for help. Beer was incredible! Can't wait to try more in the future! read more

Best grilled corn I've had at a restaurant - but the chicken I got was noooot good which was a bummer. I think the sauce was some sort of miso mayo and it wasn't that great either. But the corn stole the show and was enough for me. My friend wanted to come here as she is a beer fanatic, and she did say all the beers she had were chef's kiss! We sat in the outdoor seating area which was huge and cute vibes! Slightly a self service place. You order at the front, given a buzzer, and when it buzzes you can go grab your food and bring it to the table. read more

Visiting for a work trip and took advantage of some free time to visit a brewery I have drank plenty of but never visited. Walking in, I knew to expect hazy ipas and barrel aged stouts. I was not let down! The venue felt very new and was super clean. It had a cool little food venue built in with several seats, and a nice little merchandise section. The beer options were plentiful and I was sad I could only have a couple small pours due to plans later in the evening. I was really hoping for some smaller flight size options but they do not offer them. As someone who previously bartended, I understand not having them but I still was hopeful! I was pleasantly surprised by a solid whiskey list alongside the beers. The to go cooler was also loaded with all kinds of goodies. The staff was knowledgeable and easily pointed out some crowd favorites, personal favorites and suggestions based on my preferences. Great beer tender, I didn't catch his name but he was a smaller statue guy, tattoos, and wearing what was maybe a long kilt? I look forward to revisiting and grabbing some food as well as more beers. read more

I've been a fan of The Veil since their first location. This location on Moore Street (although the address is Belleville) is even nicer. Met a colleague here last night for a work session. Ordered my lager and fried chicken and found a spot on the patio to pop open my laptop and get to work. Nice, open space with large tables and umbrellas should it be needed to shield you from the sun. Open area inside as well with sexy event space, too. My lager hit the spot. The fried chicken was fried a little too hard and past tender, but the flavor was pretty good. Parking can be tricky, especially since the implementation of those strange bike lanes. Oh, and please fix the "ramp" inside the front door. It cannot possibly be graded to code. I stutter step on it each and every time. read more

This place is massive. They have plenty of drink options, beyond just brews. They had cocktails and frozen drinks too. They also serve food too. Plenty of standing and seating area, order at the counter so no real table service (not a con), the line moves quick. read more

I've loved beers from the veil for years. Therefore, I had high hopes from a brewery visit. This place did not disappoint. The beers are always absolutely phenomenal. The vibe of the place was laid-back but urban. Service was kind and outstanding. I wish we had more time to spend there, because the restaurant inside the brewery smelled amazing. I highly recommend. read more

Veil was one of two breweries a friend recommended when I was in Richmond. There are a slew of breweries in the area so parking is difficult to find. Veil has an open layout with plenty of parking. Food is limited in options with a focus on large dishes and not typical food. There were about 25 beers across multiple styles and you can get flights. The 3 that I tried were tasty to me but everyone has their own preferences. Definitely worth a stop during a beer crawl. read more

Recently got to try a beer from The Veil Brewing and I have to say that it was a fairly decent experience! The Master Shredder is what Steve and I had. It's a New England IPA and was pretty refreshing! With tropical, hoppy and dry flavors this light and smooth beer would be great with pub fare type food! read more

Have you tried their food? 10/10. No contest. The pork belly ‍ The beer? A bit with every brew! And their bathrooms are so inclusive. What a great find in Richmond read more

The Veil in Scotts Addition has moved to it's new location this past weekend. They are now located at 1509 Belleville Street (Same block as Tang & Biscuit) The new location is totally brand new, roomier, stylish and divided into multiple types of seating. There are indoor community tables, dining type tables and solo bar top type tables. Outside there's modern outdoor couches and coffee tables. All of their taxidermy animals have made the move as well so they tried to maintain some of the old vibe. The beer and beverage menu has greatly expanded and improved. There's a wider range of different types of beers, ciders, wine and even a few mixed cocktails on tap ( the Japanese Old Fashioned is very good!). There still seems to be slow service and you should expect to wait on a long line to purchase beverages. I was hoping this did not carry over from the old location. The new location now has a restaurant named "Nokoribi" which serves Japanese influenced light fare. I didn't try any food this visit since you have to wait on the same long beer line to order food as well. **NOTE - I did notice this morning on Instagram that the Veil posted that online food ordering will be available soon. So this will be a nice option to order food directly from an app or website. This was their opening weekend and they did have a live DJ outside along with a lobster roll pop up outside. It was a fun atmosphere and I'm looking forward to returning to sample some of the food options and taste some of their other beers. read more

Always love stopping in when back in town, reminiscing over the days I lived three blocks away. The Veil has a bunch of specialties, most notably their IPA and Stout offerings. If you're a fan of stout season, this is the place to stock up when they've got the goods (reason I stopped in during this visit, couple bottles for the road). The taproom itself fits the vibe, dark, enchanted almost, a few of the spots at tables sit under lights, otherwise, she's a bit dim. Pending time you arrive there's generally decent seating but you can likely expect to stand during peek hours. There's generally a good mix of options on tap between classic crispy lagers, hazy ipas, fruited and tart sours, and the dark goods. This particular trip they were a bit thin on stouts due to being in between events but that anniversary is coming up . I did Broz Night Out which is a smooth flavorful DIPA that I always recommend. Also gave All that you feel: cherry, a shot which will wake your tastebuds up. The cherry is delightful though. My partner had the Black And Blue Tastee which was delicious and the Haunted: Vanilla sessionable stout which was light with a decent flavor. Staff was a pleasure as always, for craft beer lovers the Veil is always a must. read more

This place has it all! Large variety of beverage options - including wines, cocktails. The staff is more than helpful when selecting beers. The food is good (but have only had the wings and fries). There are tvs to catch sporting events with plenty of seating options (inside and out). The line can get crazy and the environment loud when going during peak hours but we tend to avoid those times. Def a fan! read more

I'm a HUGE fan of The Veil and have been here dozens of times over the years. Their beers are absolutely top notch, but they recently relocated and I didn't much care for the new place. It's hard to define it. The service is still good and the beers are still great. Perhaps is nostalgia of the change...not really sure. The new place is different - larger, restaurant in premise now - but it feels too big. Might seem like an odd complaint, but I miss the Roseneath location. read more

For my last review I gave them only 2 stars because their food was horrendous, but they have since revamped their menu. They once again have karaage chicken, but this time it is done right - all boneless meat, more than just 2 pieces of chicken, and the breading is perfect. HUGE improvement from a year ago. The beer has always been good, but now the food is up on the same level. read more

Arrived around four on a Saturday. The line to order a beer was all the way to the door, and the place is big! We waited in line and it was well worth it. The Never Never Forever Forever is one of the best sours I've ever had. The line continued throughout the night which is surely a sign of good beer. It looked like they had food on one side but we did not explore that. I'd definitely like to come back to this place if in town again. read more

Several locals didn't speak kindly of The Veil, stating it's not where the locals go. However, I'm glad I decided to come by here yesterday. The place is unique in that they have a Japanese style food counter which I thought was cool. The beer selection here is large and covers all bases. I decided to get a bottle of Sake as I'm a huge Sake lover. For $48 it was ok. I was stoked to see they had 2 Trillium beers on tap here as I'm from MA and Trillium is one of my favorite breweries. The atmosphere was ok and the service was good. I can see myself returning for sure. read more

We tried the shrimp special of the day. It was $8. The appetizer came with about 6-8 MASSIVE shrimp. It was a different flavor palette but we are glad we tried it. The staff was kind and quick! The vibe is SICK. Inside is SO MOODY, all black, neon lights. Since it was a beautiful day we sat outside, they have plenty of outdoor seating. We both enjoyed the beers we had! I'd definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

One of my favorite breweries in Scott's Addition. A lot of great drink options and very spacious interior. The ambiance was unique with many different seating areas and outdoor seating options. Also within this brewery was an Asian fusion restaurant/dining option. The food smelled really good but I had already ate so didn't get to try or look at the menu. Overall, a great place to hang out with friends. read more

Very clean, modern and spacious new location. Same fantastic beers and across the board in styles as always. Staff was accommodating for the most part, one young man was very friendly and expressed appreciation for our extended visit when I told him we were on a beercation. The eats from Nokoribi are a bit on the pricey side but very good. I'm sure the powers that be at The Veil have reasons for not listing on Untappd but dang, I've had about 100 different beers from this brewery so after a 5 hour drive I'm mostly looking for unique check-ins. It'd sure make picking out what I want (and in what order) a whole lot faster/easier. Also makes to-go shopping a piece of cake. read more

I got the 'mountain' and 'lock lock' IPAs. The mountain was much imo, but to be fair mountain was on draft (wasn't aware lock lock was can-only until it was too late). There was an okay NA selection for my wife, but I feel it could/should be expanded. The main reason for four stars was the lack of vegan options from the kitchen. At least, vegan options weren't at all made clear on the menu. The sparse NA options didn't help either. The service was built for speed and they delivered. The atmosphere was pretty typical for a brewery, though I would prefer less taxidermy. Shoutout to the bathroom design though! All bathrooms should be designed that way imo read more

Great beers, poor service. Staff never smiled, acted as if we were bothering them when we ordered, and we were the only ones in there. The person who designed the restrooms shouldn't be allowed to ever work again. You almost have to stand on the toilets to get out when you open the door and the faucets are so short, your hands brush the bottom of the sink as you wash up. BUT, The beer, as always, is great read more

They mail the most important part - great beer! We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was crowded. They have a great outdoor space with high tops, lounge areas, and are dog-friendly outside. They had a dj outside as well. Inside was a very different vibe as it almost felt like a club - long darker hallways, lounge areas, a bit trendier with a kitchen in the center (no dogs allowed inside). Chill spot and excellent beer. read more

Visited the new Scott's Addition Veil and well, it's pretty much the same as the old Veil. Menu seemed bigger with more beer, cider, wine and 2 cocktails on draft than I remember which was a great variety. You wait in a long line for your beer and noone ever seems to have a sense of urgency to move the line faster. I always found this at the old spot too. You wait in the same line to order drinks or food. I was looking forward the trying Nokoribi but wanted to enjoy our drinks before eating....mistake because when we ready to order food, the line was twice as long as it had been when we arrived, so if you note point above about line moving slow, we did not get in line again for food. I wish there were either qr codes on the tables or a separate line for food. Maybe next time! Gender neutral and family bathrooms, community sink outside bathrooms. Rooms were kind of small, with black toilets. Sink area was dark (red walls, low lighting), and the faucet seemed very close to sink (not a lot of space between faucet and base of sink as you wash your hands) Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality (this is for the beer) +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Favorite brewery in Richmond - both from an ambiance perspective and a quality-of-beer perspective. So many options (see expansive menu pics) - and plenty of unique flavors, ESPECIALLY if you are a sour or stout lover like me. They'll let you try anything - and I wish I could write a review for the ones I tried too, but alas I am not that much of a tryhard. 10/10 would recommend the "Mood" and "Arctic Crypt" - a flavorful Hefe and a uniquely sweet + smooth stout respectively. The interior of this place is HUGE - plenty of seating, space for events (they had some artists/vendors there too!), as well as outdoor seating for the summer! Staff was super friendly and catering to our taste - let us try everything and was very patient with some very indecisive people (i.e. us LOL). We had heard whispers of this place from our friend who is a self-proclaimed beer enthusiast - and honestly it showed up. The only place we got a four-pack of beers to-go from - and would 100x over go back to + recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

This is a super cute brewery, the vibes are great, the beer is good, and the staff are lovely.

This is among the best beer makers in the southeast. IPA and Imperial stouts go on record as among the best I've tried and rival some of the greats in Vermont. Terrific brewpub at this location with ample in and outdoor seating Tried the aged bottles (pricy) ...stellar. read more

They don't honor their prices. Fried chicken is $9 on the displayed menu yet they told me it was $14. When asked about the discrepancy they shrugged their shoulders. Any business that can't honor what's in writing won't get my money. read more
