OUR FOOD IS FOCUSED ON WHAT TASTES GREAT WITH BEER AND FRIENDS – THINK: RAW OYSTERS, HOUSE-MADE FRIES, GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES, SHARABLE APPS AND FRESH BAKED COOKIES – ALL MADE IN-HOUSE. What we’re trying to do – we think – is pretty simple: bring together great craft brews and tasty artisan beer food with an awesome riverside environment and some pretty rad people. If you know what craft beer is, you probably like it. If you don’t, we still have a seat for you at our 2,000 sq. foot beer garden. Our 36 draft brews are sourced to be as local as possible. Fill up one of our growlers or grab a mix-n-match sixer and start L-I-V-I-N. We know what you’re thinking … you’re already in love – but there’s still more to love (whaaa?). Indoor and outdoor TVs for the VT vs. UVA game, a large 150” screen projector showing the Barca v. Real Madrid match. Bring the kids and let them play in the splash park just outside our front door while you grab a brew and high-five your BFF!

Go for $1 oysters, $1 off a huge 32 beer draft list and the knock cheese and crab fries. Beautiful location, great service - a home run.

Recently I visited and a lot has changed. And not for the better. I used to enjoy the variety of fresh oysters and beer on tap after walking my dog by the James River. They had nice tables...
