Basic City Beer

Basic City Beer offers an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a casual outing with both family and furry friends. I visited with my dad for the RVA Makers Market, and it was a delightful experience. One of the first major conveniences is their dedicated parking, making it easy to arrive without hassle.The dog-friendly policy both inside and out is a huge plus, allowing pet owners to relax and enjoy the setting without worrying about leaving their companions at home. This inclusive approach creates a welcoming environment for everyone.Basic City boasts an impressive selection of beers and food, catering to varied tastes. While I chose a White Claw on this visit, their craft beer options are plentiful and highly praised by regulars and first-timers alike. The atmosphere--bustling with market activity and vibrant chatter--makes it a lively spot for socializing and discovering local crafts at the RVA Makers Market.

Basic Beer is a neighborhood bar in a really neat, historic building. They play loud music and have bar food. Our table got pizza and charcuterie. The service was fast and the argula and prosciutto pizza was slamming. If this is your vibe, check it out.

Basic City is such a great neighborhood haunt in Manchester. Owners Sara and Curtis are great people, so it's easy to want to support them! They offer a nice variety of beers and non-alcoholic options, and they're starting to include guest taps, which is great. I prefer their sours. They also offer a nice private room that can be used for events or markets. I've attended more than a few events at BCB over the years since they took over the space and they've all been well put together. Prices are affordable and the vibes are good. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Basic city beer co is one of my favorite beer halls in Richmond. The space has a cool vibe, and lots of seating and they are extremely inclusive. They always have a lot of fun nonalcoholic options, my favorite is the Orange Dream they recently added to the selection. The pizzas are delicious, and service is quick!They also host awesome events and vendor markets for local businesses. I highly recommend going to visit during one of the markets!

Basic City Beer does not have basic beer! We tried a flight with a variety of beers and enjoyed all of them. LOVE the vibe. It's a little moody but there's great natural light that seeps in. We didn't get an opportunity to try any of the food but holy cow it smelled and looked delicious. The staff was kind and courteous.

Came here for a trivia night recently and it was a nice brewery. It's nice to be able to step away from the usual Scott's Addition options for a bit, particularly when you can find a parking place for a change!Two of my friends and I were glad to give this place a try and see how tough their trivia night was (spoiler: it was tough, but we managed to get third place, and I was very little help since many questions were movie-related). Got to enjoy a great stout they had on draft, and I saw plenty of beverage options there to keep pretty much anyone happy. The food they have there (pizza) looks quite good but is a bit rich for my blood for a personal-size pizza. Their seating is quite interesting, with most tables being different heights, designs, and seating capacities, which can be charming or frustrating depending on your needs. I rather liked it, as it could lead to you having a "favorite" table, which is fun.I mentioned it before and some people think it isn't important, but I HATE struggling to find parking. That's not a problem at Basic City Beer, as they have a private lot that has lots of spaces. For me, that's a big selling point, though if you're riding with someone else maybe it's not a big deal for you.Enjoyed my visit here and would be glad to return again!Overall: 4.0 stars----Pros:- Great draft beer selection, plenty of options there.- Charming interior with varied seating.- LOTS of parking, absolutely love that.- Didn't have too many service interactions but they seemed nice.Cons:- If you come for the trivia, be forewarned it is tough and less about general knowledge. Prizes are okay.- Pizza looks delicious (did not try my friend's on this visit), though the cost is up there for what amounts to a personal pan pizza.

The service was great! Friendly and informative bar tender. I appreciate his composure during my questions about the different brewery items I saw. It's like an adult history. I enjoyed the local flavor of chips and the meeting of new friends. There is an area for shows( which I attended). There was plenty of table space, dance room, and a beer pong table. This area was perfect for this Saturday night event. The sound system gave each artist life with no seen difficulties. The parking outside was sufficient out front and there was also off street parking as well. I love the transformation of a old warehouse into businesses. You won't be disappointed because it's definitely diversity in RVA and this represented well. See you soon

Being semi new to the area it's always great to find a place you feel welcomed. Basic city has been that place for us! We took our dogs to the farmers market and then looked for a few places after but it was just scorching out. Basic city welcomes in your pups with open arms (and treats!) and they are allowed to be inside with you! We were having our house worked on and had to be out for 4 hours with the dogs another night and thought what better place to go so we head back got some good beer! The Tart Up is definitely my favorite at the moment but I will happily try all the new one they come out with. We enjoyed trivia, charcuterie and a ricotta and mushroom pizza! Highly recommend! It's a casual environment, there's tables, high tops, shuffleboard, corn hole! Something for everyone!

Chill environment, there is a parking lot for the establishments in this area. I ordered a flight of 4.Katherine Kolsch - Super light and refreshing. Easy to drink and great for a hot day. Probably my favorite out of the 4. Thresh Hefeweizen - interesting aftertaste, not sure if I care for it. Slightly heavier than a normal hefeweizen. N&W Porter- you get the coffee notes in the smell but not too much in the taste. Definitely a Roasted flavor but not as dark as anticipated. Pretty good Porter. The Hornig Lager - not too much a flavor but it is easy to drink. Easy going music and staff.

V cool spot with lots of space and a mix of picnic tables, hightop tables and low tables. The seating is mixed also, with backless tall metal stools and wooden chairs that are sturdy enough. The restroom is large with a raised toilet and i didn't notice any significant floor transitions for accessibility.Beer was great, i stuck with the Wit but sipped the vanilla and coffee flavored beer and it was great too. We had the white pizza with thai chili sauce (so spicy so tasty) and killed it at quad giant Jenga. Recommended for a chill time, dogs were there and them brick walls
