Same thing for their policy of closing your tab and adding 20% gratuity a second after closing time. I can understand enforcing this policy 5 minutes after closing (maybe?) but the second after? On top of that the girl working there refused to give us a receipt. Just horrible attitude and service. Way too many breweries out there with friendly faces and that will give you at least a 5 minute grace period to close out and gladly tip them what they deserve. Never going back

Didn't try their ciders, but they also had a couple of different options. They sell food and get two thumbs up for their truffle fries and bbq nachos. The fries were piping hot and the nachos a very generous serving! Where the place fell short is on ambiance...especially general upkeep. Tables were filthy, the place just looked like someone stopped caring a while ago. The staff were not overwhelmed with customers but no one seemed to notice or care that the entire inside needed some basic straightening, sweeping and wiping of tabletops. The view from inside to their gorgeous fields could have been used as an asset, but windows were too dirty to be able to appreciate from inside. I believe this could be a cool spot to visit again, but I hope whoever owns/runs it just takes some effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable.

Came in to grab a few cigars and the place was packed! Just so happened to be a cigar event that…read moreevening, so I walked past the crowd and entered the humidor. I don't have much experience with cigars, so I had no idea how to pick them. When I looked at the front counter, I noticed stacks of cigar cases and was curious. The moment I stepped out of the humidor, Brett greeted me and asked if he could help. With no judgement at all, Brett helped me select 5 cigars and described the different flavor profiles. Even in the middle of the event, Brett saw I was out of my element and took the time to not only help me select cigars, but teach me everything from how to cut and light a cigar, how they are made, and the importance of maintaining integrity in the cap. Definitely found my new go to spot!

ALMOST A 3 STAR REVIEW - PLEASE READ…read more SERVICE: 4.1 out of 5 - If you're an experienced smoker they don't follow you around the humidor or talk your ear off about specials. They let you roam and offer unjudgmental help if you ask. If you ask for a high end stick that they don't carry, be prepared for a scoff or a raise of the eyebrow as though you're some unknowledgeable sucker who is willing to pay for a Padron/Davidoff....because you know, those sticks are clearly lame right? (sarcasm) SELECTION: 3.5 out of 5 - If you took someone who wanted to smoke their first cigar and impress them, you'd be hard pressed to find the right cigar here. For those in the know they have a decent selection and I'd even offer it's a good spot to find a new stoge if you're in a rut. I've shopped here for years sporadically and their consistency is a bit questionable, they advertise Tatuaje, but they actually only regularly carry one very sizable and boutique stick, not suitable for average fans of the brand or anyone wanting to test the waters for the first time. On the other hand they've been known to occasionally carry a seasonal blend that is virtually impossible to find outside of a select online dealer(s). VALUE: 2 out of 5 - I recently bought a half dozen of fairly reputable sticks here and so far the first 3 have all been quite stale. They also keep flavored cigars in the same humidor (bit of a no-no amongst purists) OVERALL**: 4.2 out of 5 for casuals - YOU WILL BE SATISFIED HERE - 3.8 out of 5 for regulars - It's above average, but in a world where tourist friendly cigar shops offer better service and selection why would your favorite stoge smoker go here? 1. If you're in the area it has good ambiance/staff/customers for a sit in smoke 2. If you like lanceros you will LOVE this selection 3. You're new and want a friendly environment you will NOT BE JUDGED and given solid reasonably priced advice. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO BUY YOUR FRIEND(S) CONGRATULATIONS STICKS FOR A BIRTHDAY, 1st BABY, WEDDING OR PASSING BASIC TRAINING. I wouldn't recommend for a sophisticated cigar smoker. UNLESS THEY LIKE LANCEROS! **IF YOU'RE A LANCERO FAN, THIS IS YOUR DISNEY WORLD - 6 OUT OF 5!!!

Dida's is a fairly young distillery that's part of the better known Rappahannock Cellars winery…read moreoperation. I didn't know what to expect when I visited as part of my distillery quest, but I was very happy with the experience. I ordered their tasting option with 3 liquor samples and a cocktail. For the liquors, I tried their gin, their barrel rested gin, and their brandy. As a winery's distillery that I believe was founded to make brandy for their port, I was most pumped to try their brandy, which didn't disappoint. Very smooth with some nice, subtle flavors. I didn't know what to expect from their gin, but was very pleasantly surprised (and brought a bottle home). I've had a number of other Virginia gins, which I generally like, that distinguish themselves by having botanical blends that are very different from the typical London Dry Gin... They'll replace juniper with oolong tea or something. Dida's chose a different course. They use a more traditional juniper and coriander botanical blend but introduce it to the vapor rather than soaking it in the later liquid neutral spirit. It results in a drink that has some traditional gin essence but feels very light and smooth on the palate. While I heard other customers give rave reviews of cocktails made with it, I think it's an unusually good gin to drink straight either as an aperitif or as an evening porch sipper on a hot day. For my cocktail, I got a sidecar. It was great. It was a smooth lemon-forward drink that was almost a thirst quencher. My girlfriend got their seasonal drink, a toasted almond with house made amaretto. She loved it. I hadn't ordered it because, even though I like almond-vanilla flavors, I'm suspicious of amaretto, which is often syrupy and cloyingly sweet. But I tasted hers and saw the light. It wasn't syrupy at all... just the light essence of the best almond pastry infused into a smooth, delicate spirit. The bar is manned by a very knowledgeable (and nice and unpretentious) guy who is deeply knowledgeable about their product and also a relatable guy. I don't know how to compare Dida's to other distilleries I've visited, but it's a great place that you won't regret visiting.
