This is my favorite bar in Blacksburg because it’s just that: a bar. Not a sports bar, not a nightclub, just a good bar with good beer. Great selection of beers; I’ve discovered many great beers because of this place. Great food that really soaks up the alcohol so you can keep drinking. Also has a good selection of vegetarian foods for all of my hippy friends. If you’re ever in Blacksburg you should definitely stop in.

LAAAAAAAAAAME. I don’t know why I had any expectations for this place but it was recommended by the retard at vintage cellars and previous fools who rated this. Other than it being dirt cheap, it’s pretty bad. The tap highlights included SNPA, shooting river or some Va beer that was terrible, and DFH 60 minute, and i guess magic hat 9. THe pizza i got would have been good if it wasn’t cold. pretty sad bar decor. The vintage cellars kid recommended some place called "the underground" something other. i’d try to find that.

Overall not bad, the food is good, when they have live music it is much nicer here. Beer selection is good for BB, which isn’t saying much.

Good place, the service is slow, so don’t go in expecting to grab a quick bite. The food is excellent, I recommend the French Dip, and well worth the wait. The beer selection is very good with the aforementioned Hammertime deal ($5.50 for any pitcher). A lot more in bottles as well. If you can only eat in one restaurant in Blacksburg, make it this one.

Absolutely no service whatsoever. I really like the place, but don’t go expecting to get out in less than 2 hours and have to go to the bar to get your check for food. Best beer selection in BBurg, awesome food, killer Hammer Time deals ($5/any pitcher)!

Upstairs has great service, but no ambiance. Downstairs has terrific ambiance, but is sometimes overwhelmingly smoke filled with less stellar service. Beer menu recently changed--some for good, some for bad. Still one of my favorite restaurants in town with fantastic calzones and pasta, but not the place I go to kick back and enjoy a brew.

My favorite place to go in Blacksburg. They have "Hammer Time" from 6-7 sun-thurs. Hammer time gets you any pitcher they have on tap for $5.50.... they have a wonderful selection of good beers on tap like guiness, newcastle, flying dog, smithwicks, etc. It can be pretty hard to grab a waiters attention though. The food is great and everything is well priced, you never have to bust your wallet. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. I prefer downstairs for its crowd, but the upstairs has live music every tuesday. It has an excellent selection for a restaurant, the only better restaurant I have ever seen is something like Capital ale house or something made for serving rare and delicious beers. If you are ever in Blacksburg VA, make sure you go here!!
