Strangeways Brewing

What a fun place to visit! The staff is super nice and they have so many drink options from beer to spiked seltzer and cider. If you're undecided, you can get up to 10-4oz glasses of any beverage to try. My friend and I got an assortment of beer, seltzer and cider. Some were better than others, but overall, we were happy with our selections. We sat inside, but there was also ample outdoor seating. The outdoor seating was by Smohk bbq, which unfortunately was closed today. There is no dedicated lot, but plenty of street parking. If you're looking for something different, I'd suggest giving Strangeways a try.

Most creative brewery in all of Richmond - their flavors are all SO FUN and have such unique ingredients and inspirations. Don't leave without trying the infamous lucky charms beer - it's actually pretty solid! If you're a sour drinker like me, this place is going to hit on all cylinders - plus, the bartenders are all brilliantly friendly, and the place has plenty of seating and seems to always have some live music if you're feeling that or space to get away in the outdoor area. Will take literally anyone who visits me here if they are so amenable to it because it is worth showing off! Suitable for whatever you are looking for :)

This brewery is a total surprise! Located on a pretty empty street but a cool inside. The beer selection has variety and is amazing, with something for everyone. Every brew I tried was delicious. The bartender was knowledgeable and helpful as well. This place is definitely worth seeking out. I would go back if I was in the area again.

I've been to this location twice. Once for a yoga class and another for the RVA Burlesque Festival. I think they have incredible events here. It's a really great space. It's located in what feels like an office park, but it has a nice outdoor space. The seating inside is also cool with the decor and the windows. The people who work here are incredibly nice.I love the back room with the big barrels. For the RVA Burlesque Festival, the barrels framed the stage very beautifully. I've only tried one drink here and it was the Sangria Sour. It was not for me. They seem to pour a huge amount of syrup/dye in it and it tasted a little too syrupy sweet for my liking. My friend got their cider (I think it's called something like Grandma's Apple Pie) and she really liked it. She said it tasted like Fall and was very comforting. I highly recommend visiting this spot for one of their great events.

Confession- I was at Strangeways Brewing for the pottery pop up market that was in the back- walking passed barrels to the patio strung lighted area was magical! There is Clayworks Pottery Supply a couple doors down and they coordinated with the brewery for this market while the pottery conference was in town! John enjoyed a flight while I met, chatted and ended up friending a few potters. I even snagged some treasures! Family friendly- there is a patio outside, plenty of games and a large indoor seating area and bar.

Definitely my favorite brewery I've ever been to! Highly recommend the lucky charm beer! Outside area is pretty at night and live music is always so nice! Staff is incredible.

Great beer,Great Service and very chill and quiet place to enjoy a beer. TONS of beer to choose from also. And yes that is glitter beer

Such a fun time at Strangeways Brewing! We got the 10 count beer flight to try many of their options! They have so many games to entertain your group as well. Cozy spot in Scott's Addition.

Great selection and great service. Had a flight of dark beers and loved the Snow Monkey. Lots of seating. No real food selection just snacks but had delivery avail from Fat Tuna grill. And there are eateries in the same building. Would def come back!

I'm a Richmond native and went to Strangeways for the first time tonight. Such a cool entrance and vibe. Until we met the manager. He was mean and grumpy. Would not let us take a photo with one of the many taxidermied animals. With an almost empty bar, he complained our group of 40-somethings were too rowdy.‍ When confronted, he continued to point the blame on his guests. Very disappointing experience.
