Maltese Brewing

It was the night before a friend's memorial service, and we really wanted a place to hang out, have a few drinks, enjoy the night, and discuss life in general. There wasn't much in Tappahannock that fit the bill, so we just decided to try this place. We were more than pleased with our choice.The somewhat drab and unimpressive exterior will fool you: This place is one of the most fun and inviting places you'll ever set foot. There's a respectable selection of beer, good pub food, a wonderful little bier garden, pinball machines(!), and some of the friendliest humans (both staff and patrons) you could ever hope to meet.If I went into specifics, this would be an unreadably long review. So if you yourself in the area, just take a chance on this place, and go. You'll love it. If you don't, I have to think that's on you.

As another reviewer noted the exterior is nothing at all like the interior. It's very inviting and comfortable like you could bring your wife and kids. Sheila was very helpful with the broad variety of craft beers the offer. I had a delicious IPA to go with wings from Bella Pizza next door. They deliver to your table. I'm definitely coming back with my friends.
