Ardent Craft Ales

During our stay in Richmond VA we made our way to an area the locals told us about called Scott's Addition. Very interesting and fun area. On and around Leigh St. there are some great local breweries and this was one of them we stopped in.Ardent had a great outdoor patio area, and the indoor seating area had plenty of room for many to enjoy some of their beers. The staff was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about their beers, and what to offer us based on our taste. We will definitely add this to our list of brewery stops in the future when we visit RVA.

This was our first stop after getting BBQ in Richmond. I got a flight and there were plenty of options to choose from, including non alcoholic options. Sit outside if the weather is nice. Decent brews, good patio, great spot to just hangout.

A warm and inviting brewery with a community atmosphere among a post industrial neighborhood. Huge outdoor patio. The beer list is modest but the brews are great.

Went here for a trial, as they offered sours, since my wife is not much for beer. The. Meatballs and pretzels were fantastic for appetizers, outdoors seating was cool even in the dead of summer, and they even brought the food out to the tables outside (now, I think that was only because it was not busy, but still nice touch and shows caring staff)

I love Ardent Cidery! I had two different ciders and both were delicious!I had the Mixed Berry Gose and I think the Cosmic Pale Ale and both were delicious ! The service is super fast and they had some outside picnic tables and some inside seating. There's also EasyBurger right there ! It's one of my favorite places!!

Ardent is my favorite brewery in Virginia. I love Pilsners and lagers and Ardent brews some of the best. I feel like most breweries concentrate on IPAs but Ardent provides a nice mix of all, so all types of beer drinkers should be satisfied. It's a great space to hangout whether you are inside or outside, there's plenty of seating options. All the staff is friendly and attentive, it must be a great working environment as a lot of the staff have been there for many years. There's plenty of food options as well as Ardent has a nice menu of sandwiches, salads and appetizers. Also within the same parking lot you have Eazzy Burger and ZZQ BBQ which are top notch! You can pickup beer to go and they also provide delivery options as well.Visit the Barrel Room around the corner for some of their beers while watching comedy or singing along with karaoke night.Fun, food and great beers. What more can you ask for?

Overall pretty solid and cute interior - still decorated for the holidays when we went! Tables were a tad small for games - but plenty good enough if you're just enjoying some beers. Bartender wasn't really sure what they were known for - so we just winged it on the beers we got. My partner liked her Earl Gray Brown Ale - I'd say the milk stout was nothing too special. Wish I had ordered something else but... you can't win 'em all!

We did not try the food but we did try the beer. The vibe is great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Love the outdoor area! It is so spacious regardless of where you sit. The staff was kind and prompt. Unfortunately, the beer fell short for us. We tried about 4-5 beers and can't say any of them stuck out to us. We'd give them another try next time we are back in the area!

One of my favorite Richmond breweries, and now definitely high on my list because I'm not drinking at the moment and they had a really tasty kolsch nonalcoholic beer! It tasted just like their regular beer with all the depth and character a good beer has. To be honest, most nonalcoholic beer I buy from the grocery store is meh. I hope to find this one at Whole Foods or Total Wine. Thanks to the owner for offering a high-quality nonalcoholic beer for patrons who enjoy beer but don't want the alcohol. So yummy!

Great brewery with a cool patio that connects to Eazzy Burger. Had the Pops IPA and wings for Lunch, definitely recommend both!
