Strangeways Brewing

Plenty of options with strange, slightly off putting decor. I came here with a group for trivia, which was very fun. It did get very loud, but that's on par for any brewery. There were a lot of drink options, but not many snacks, so if you come here, eat before or have a plan to grab food after. I got the Sapphire Robot, which was sweet without being overwhelming. As someone who doesn't like beer that much, this was perfect. The decor was strange, which works for the name, but it put off my friends. If a ton of taxidermy bothers you, maybe skip it.

Strangeways is my favorite brewery because of the amount of different beers available for every beer lover! The flavors are so unique and so many beers are PRETTY in the glass. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The parking lot is big and they do offer bar snacks like nuts and pretzels.The staff has been very helpful in choosing the right beer for my taste. It's a freindly and inclusive venue. I wish they had one closer to Portsmouth/Norfolk but it is 100% worth the drive to Williamsburg!!My favorites are the Lucky Charm, Barbie, and they had a seasonal Spritzer last fall that I could not get enough of- might have been cranberry or raspberry, whatever it was it was amazing.

Strangeways is consistently amazing! I first had Strangeways at their Richmond location back in 2016. So moving back to this area and discovering they had a location closer to my new home was exciting. My partner loves lagers and I like fruity "girly" beers. Strange has enough section to suit both our preferences. The service is great, and the bar tenders are personable and knowledgeable. There's plenty of seating and an outdoor area. An absolute gem to add to the shops at High St.

Great beer selection (along with some wine and cider). Decent food / snack menu as well. For most of the time we were there, however, there was only one person working, so there was a bit of a wait. Toilet in women's restroom didn't flush. Nice outdoor seating area in warmer weather.

THE BIG: Tons of unique combinations and concoctions here at Strangeways. I guess that's why their name is called Strangeways. They've got breweries in Richmond and Fredericksburg. Parking is available in the shared parking lot.THE BLACK AND WHITE: Wrapping up the beer tour was Strangeways. The space inside was new and it's that typical brewery asthetic with the wooden chalk signs up. To do a flight, you purchase per 5oz.We got the Helles Frozen Over (Helles), Millenium Falconer (West Coast IPA), Cin-A-Man-Bun Cinnamon Roll (Brown Ale), Get Slayed (NEIPA), and Lucky Charms (Berliner Weisse).All were good and the most memorable was the Lucky Charms which had floating marshmallows from lucky charms on top. A bit sweet but interesting combination.THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a flight of 5 beers was ~$24. A little pricey but you pay for the 5oz pours. There's so much experimentation here, will definitely be back.

BLUF: great variety, worth a stop. Bring friends. Grab some beer to go!Excellent variety of beers (Berliner Weiss was my favorite), friendly and knowledgeable staff, relaxed (and strange, but in a good way) vibe. Flights come with 4-10 5.5 oz pours. Come with friends and order a variety so you can try many different things.

Fun selection and friendly staff! Can get pretty loud in the main room if it's busy, but there is plenty of outdoor seating. Really like that you can get food delivered from some of the neighboring restaurants!Personally love their selection of seltzers - If you're not a big beer drinker, the staff will help you navigate the options!

Alright this gets 3 stars because the beers are not good! Sampled 6 of them and only one was decent. They do have a huge beer list but maybe narrow it down a bit and focus on making the beers better. The three stars are for good service and the venue is nice and large. Their outside area is nice and they even have live music occasionally on the weekends. You can bring in food from outside places to eat.

Cool brewery in Williamsburg limited food selection but a good choice of beers and organized on the menu by types.

I've always loved going to Strangeways when I would visit Richmond, so when I heard they were opening up here, I was pumped! Their location is a great spot with tons of outdoor and indoor seating options. They have A TON of beer selections as well as wine, so something for everyone! I love the vibe and there is a ton of merch to purchase.The only downside (I'd give 4.5 stars if possible) is how noisy it gets inside. It is hard to have a conversation or even order if it's busy of there's a band playing. But, like I said, there are so many outdoor seating options.Go and enjoy! Cheers!
