Loved this brewery. The staff was super friendly and tentative to our small group. We tried quite a few beers and also had an appetizer. Bathrooms and place was clean and tvs with various games on. Definitely will come in again when in the area.

Laid back, nondescript spot to grab a brew in Shockoe Bottom. You can usually find a place to park on this street as it's a couple blocks from the center of the chaos.

I love Shockoe Bottom and how rich it is in history. Did you know that the land from 18th st to 25th st is a part of the original settlement of Richmond from 1737 (which Richbrau is on)! I had a great time checking out this charming brewery.***LOCATION***Located on 20th street. You can find street parking nearby or take the bus!***EXPERIENCE***I came for a Beer and Buses event with RVA Rapid Transit where we took the Pulse to different breweries. This was our second stop. I've read that they're known for their dark beers. I had a sip of my friend's stout (which note: I'm not a big beer drinker) and although it wasn't the choice for me, it was tasty. I loved my King of Strays - Passionfruit Guava. I'm a sucker for passionfruit flavored beers and they did this one right. I love the aesthetic of this brewery. Their logo and art on the glasses are great. They have an outdoor space, a garage that opens to let fresh air in, and an upstairs space. The people who work here were awesome too.***PRICE***I spent about $8 on my drink (this includes tax and tip I paid).***BATHROOM***There are two all gender bathrooms at this brewery.***CONCLUSION***I loved finally checking Richbrau out. Whether it's been on your list for a while or you just added it now, don't wait! Check it out today.

Great space with a nice variety of beers! I liked the friendly service and the clean and cute tap room. It was a really warm January evening and they had the "garage" doors opened. Felt like spring! If I lived here this would be "my spot"!

Stopped by for a recharge, found this brewery with live dj and pretty happening for a Saturdays afternoon. Hubby loved their home brewed beer, he got the Penalties and Interests. I got the San pelligrino. Overall it is a fun spot for a locally brewed beer!

You don't need to be a rich bro(au) to enjoy this!This is one of the better breweries in Richmond as you'll see with the awards they've taken. Beers are in 4, 8, or 16 oz plus you can get growlers if you wanna take them home for enjoyment. Some of the ones I had include:-Psychic Horse IPA (love this one)-Edgar Bourbon Barrel Stout (Tasty but strong, beware!)As you'll see I enjoyed these very much. The handcrafted brews have the balance down on hops and maltiness with smooth carbonation. They serve food here too if you're hungry and they have outdoor seating. Also a couple TVs and board games inside for entertainment.All the necessities for a brewery and then some. Nice staff and interior, it's a brew lovers heaven!

I have visited a LOT of breweries in the area and I had never heard of this one. I am not sure how. I heard about it when their beers won 3 awards recently including a lager. So, I decided I wanted to try it!!This brewery is located downtown in a very busy area. Parking is very tough, IMO. We finally found a spot a few blocks away. I think there is also paid parking nearby I think but I am not overly familiar with that area. I got the pilsner and my wife got the lager that won a medal. Both were very good beers. They have some outdoor seating but most of it is indoors. It is a very nice place and the staff were friendly as well. Definitely a place to go and have a beer with some friends!!

Some street parking and there's a small outdoor seating area and a somewhat decent sized indoor seating. They have some board games which is cool. They don't do flights but do 6 oz pours. Spent about ~$30 for 5 beers. They do have food here but I didn't order any. Seems like outdoor is dog friendly. Peach 4th Street - light Peach smell and flavoring. Surprisingly not as sour as anticipated and very pleasant. Raspberry Carousel - Slightly tarter than the Peach 4th Street but still a good flavor from the raspberry in the smell and taste. Fairly light and easy to drink. Allan - Has a really strong dark roast coffee smell and a great coffee flavor as well. A really well made Stout that is not super heavy and great flavor.Richbrau Lager - pretty good standard Lager and easy to drink. Definitely light but still a good flavor to it.Dreaming Dreams - You definitely get that richness from the Whiskey barrel through the smell. Really rich in flavor as well but really good. You have to kind of sip this slowly but the 6 oz pour was perfect. Friendly staff and chill vibe!

The breakfast sandwiches are so delightful and satisfying. The service is quick and easy, very little waiting. The pricing I found sometime a bit higher than NYC. The coffee was dreamy though. The outdoor dining area was packed so getting there early helps.
