| 74 /100 Capital Ale House - Harrisonburg (Restaurant) 41-A COURT SQUARE “Last stop of the evening for me. Kind of quiet on a Monday evening. Pub menu, nice selection of regional beer. Good service.“ |
| 76 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Stayed in Harriisonburg for the night, and hit as many breweries as I could. Nondescript brick building, easy to miss, located in light industrial area. Inside is textbook brewery taproom. Lots of wood and metal, tables, small bar. No outdoor seating that I could make out. Fairly quiet here, and I got to sit out quite a thunderstorm here. The rain was a good excuse to have a few more than came in my flight. Great service, friendly, quick. Beer was all very good too.“ |
| 78 /100 120 W. WOLFE STREET “Small, homey location in Harrisonburg. Nothing fancy. Grest beers and great vibe. Felt very at home here. Great service too.“ |
| 74 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Brand new, snazzy space in part of a larger collective of shops and businesses. large oval bar, tables, and a patio out front. Plenty of parking too.Great service. Salad I had really hit the spot. Beer was overall decent. Prenty central to downtown Harrisonburg.“ |

| 82 /100 20 S. MASON ST., SUITE B10 “This place is located in downtown Harrisonburg Virginia. Bartender is friendly enough. Hanging lights lit the place. We parked across the street in a bank parking lot. No food here. Snacks here though. 8 beers to choose from. Big bar seats 20. Some tables here seats another 20 people. Nice place, will be back. Cheers!

| 82 /100 120 W. WOLFE STREET “Set inside an old gasoline station. Bar seats 7 Tables enough to seat 25 more. Bartender is awesome and friendly. Hanging lights are here and the garage door held with the dim lights. 12 taps here. Parking is plentiful. Decent place and would come back. No food here. Cheers!“ |
| 66 /100 120 W. WOLFE STREET “Small taproom in an old garage building - lots of wood and brick and two garage doors on the front of the building. Just a small taproom with a small bar and several tables. They had about 10 or 11 beers on tap when I stopped in. The beer was decent, but nothing great.“ |
| 100 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Wasn't terribly busy when I was there, lots of seating and great beers to choose from.“ |
| 42 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Sat at the bar area and it took what seemed like forever for the beer tender to come serve me. The set up had glass curtains so brewing could be seen while seated. Beer tenders were very friendly.“ |
| 74 /100 80 SOUTH MAIN ST. “We came here on 17.8.2018. 2 restaurants next to each other. We chose this one, the smaller of the two, as they have a larger beer selection and apparently the burgers are better here. All the beers come in cans and bottles. I had an Aale Smith IPA. The pub area is nicely decorated with bikes, a bull head and bras. Burgers were very good but the one we ate was extremely spicy, too many Habaneros. Overall a really great dive bar.“ |
| 52 /100 20 S. MASON ST., SUITE B10 “We came here on 17.8.2018. Home brewer shop in the basement with a nano brewery and a small bar area. When we came a live band played and the atmosphere was friendly. They immediately offered us to see the brewhouse and locals welcomed us in a very nice way. Only downside is the beer. It is full of beer flaws and unfortunately not drinkable. Really a shame as otherwise this place would be really cool.“ |
| 52 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “We came here on 17.8.2018. Quite large brewpub compared to the other places in town. U shaped bar and the brewhouse visible behind a glass wall. Was very empty on a Friday evening. Overall a nice ambiance. Unfortunately the beers were poor and almost not drinkable.“ |
| 68 /100 241 E MARKET ST “We came 17.8.2018. Seems they have 3 other brew pubs in the area. This one has the smalles brewhouse, 85 liters! We met the brewmaster Mary Morgan. She spent some time with us explaining us the history of the place. Very nice! The beer we had was quite good.“ |
| 72 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “We came here on 17.8.2018. 10 beers on tap. We tasted the Berliner Weiße, Märzen, Helles and IPA - all ok. Brewhouse visible behind a glass wall. Nice service. Just won the VCBG gold medal for the Helles.“ |
| 68 /100 The Golden Pony (Bar) 181 N MAIN ST “This is a pretty cool little joint along the more northern side of Downtown Harrisonburg. They have right around a dozen taps upstairs (and 4 downstairs if you happen to be there for a show or something). The bartender was not the most informative, let alone talkative, but she knew how to serve the beer that I requested, so there's that. I only had mozzarella sticks so I can't really say much about the food. Prices were solid.“ |
| 68 /100 20 S. MASON ST., SUITE B10 “I'm not a homebrewer (I don't need another hobby to create a mess), so that part did nothing for me, but the place is cozy and smelled like Gravity Lounge (took me back). Service was fine and friendly, but I didn't have questions and others did, so I didn't bother the bartender much. Beer was meh overall, but I'd return.“ |
| 46 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Our last stop on a little beer tour and I couldn't have been more disappointed. Three Notch'd makes good beers. But this venue, early on a Tuesday night, was pumping with very loud music and was evidently focused on trying to draw in a younger crowd, without success. Relatively empty, but LOUD (couldn't converse with my wife), without many more beer offerings than I can find in regional retail, I couldn't wait to leave. Next time i'm in Harrisonburg, this is last on my list. Brewery #845“ |
| 78 /100 Bella Luna Wood Fired Pizza (Restaurant) 80 W WATER ST “In the downtown area not far from several of the local brewers, this is a great place to take a meal break, grab a well-made wood-fired pizza, and angle in on a couple other local/regional brews you might've missed. Most of the 12 taps are local and well chosen. Great pizza, great beer!“ |
| 80 /100 20 S. MASON ST., SUITE B10 “Beer geek heaven. A home brew supply shop with a built-in nanobrewery and some very, very good brews on tap. Limited hours. No food. But friendly staff and patrons. If I were to redo my visit to Harrisonburg, I'd start here.
Brewery #844.“ |
| 64 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “They have a nice space, set back from the main road, so using GPS you'll drive past it at least once. On a nice day, the outdoor area is quite pleasant. The staff was nice and attentive. They didn't have that many beers on tap, and only 1 or 2 that I can't buy in cans 300 miles away, so it was a bit of a let down from a beer discovery lens. Otherwise, a quality stop. Brewery #843.“ |
| 74 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “This is a well re-made space in an older building along a main drag. They have a handful of their flagship brands on tap, plus a good lineup of unique offerings only available here. The bartender was Johnny on the Spot, helpful and quite friendly. Will definitely revisit when back in the area. Brewery #842.“ |
| 54 /100 120 W. WOLFE STREET “This is a pretty funky spot. There are several beers to choose from, decent at best. I feel this place has potential, and I think they just had a new brewer come on not too long ago, so we'll see what happens.“ |
| 68 /100 20 S. MASON ST., SUITE B10 “This is a very cool joint in a basement. Complete homebrew shop with a small bar and some very decent accomodations. The bartender was pretty hospitable as well.“ |
| 66 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “A pretty cool spot with good beers across the board. The bartender was very cool and friendly, not to mention pretty knowledgeable when it came to local craft beer. I've been here a few times and I definitely plan on returning many more!“ |
| 78 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Solid beers and nice tap room. Helpful staff. Cool spot to chill at.“ |
| 84 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Very nice beers here and the tap room is really cool. Would visit often if I lived nearby.“ |
| 76 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Nice modern, spacious taproom at a good location right off downtown. The beers were all good and they had a decent selection including a few IPAs and a fes saisons. No food, but you can bring som ein or order from nearby restaurants. Worth a visit if you are in the area.“ |
| 76 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Nice modern, fairly small tasting room with 10 or so beers on tap. They have a small batch brewing operation where they brew several small batch beers on location, while others are brewed attheir other locations. Very friendly service.The beers I tried were all good. We enjoyed a flight of beer and some chips and salsa (which is about the only food available, but the salsa was good).“ |
| 80 /100 Capital Ale House - Harrisonburg (Restaurant) 41-A COURT SQUARE “A very large and very suave restaurant/bar. I like the wooden look. Plenty of taps, most of which are solid American craft. There are several cool imports as well, mostly German and Belgian.“ |
| 62 /100 Vintage Wines (Beer Store) 498 UNIVERSITY BLVD, SUITE C “A small wine shop with decent parking. There's about a six foot bookcase's worth of beer, mostly 4- and 6-packs. The owner's a pretty cool guy, and very helpful.“ |
| 40 /100 Downtown Wine and Gourmet (Beer Store) 41 COURT SQUARE SUITE C “This place mostly sells wine, but they have a nice, small yet extensive beer selection, including some large format bottles.“ |
| 84 /100 Dave's Taverna (Bar) 810 PORT REPUBLIC ROAD “This place has a nice selection of beers and great sandwiches!“ |
| 72 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Spacious interior with limited seating. 11 beers on tap representing a good variety and including 3 beers brewed on-site: the others are brewed at the main location in Charlottesville.“ |
| 74 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “nice taproom; good selection of beer; board games to play with my daughter while knocking down a couple of pints“ |
| 60 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Parked in lot across the street. Larger bar with a good amount of people drinking on a Saturday afternoon. One wall is like a library... interesting. 9 beers currently on tap. 4 of the ones on the menu had kicked, they added two new ones now listed there. Service was almost nothing. Beers average.“ |
| 74 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Nice little place - I passed it the first go around, so had to loop around and approach from the back. Probably better that way. Nice modern brewery space. 10 on tap as well as 8 rare bombers you can consume there (prices pretty high on those: $23-$35 each. I asked - no, no off-premise on these), and 5 off-premise (prices ranging $8-$22). Beers solid to solid+. Service friendly.“ |
| 72 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Nice room - smaller than I imagined, but well designed and decorated. Mostly standard Three Notch’d brews on tap with two exclusive to Harrisonburg. Bartender said they usually have four, but they’ve run out. I only sampled the two from that specific location as I can get the others at home. One VG+ one fine. Will definitely return.“ |
| 64 /100 Brickhouse Tavern (Bar) 1007 S MAIN ST. “A sports bar with a decent amount of craft beer, this place is definitely not my go-to type of scene. They did have a decent amount of local microbrews, and a bunch of classic favorites (Bell’s Two Hearted Ale and such).“ |
| 78 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Large modern taproom adjoining a large production facility visible through glass. Large very nice patio. In a newish shopping complex of some sort. We Uber’ed so I didn’t pay attention to parking. Large U-shaped bar, then some bar tables, and a sort-of living room-ish area - if they were going for cozy, they missed. But still a nice atmosphere. Flights of five beers for $6.75, so great prices like all the places in this area. Beers were OK. Server knew the beers well. No food, but nearby restaurants deliver. One of the top stops in the area. If the beers improve a bit, it would be an outstanding stop, so worth watching for now.“ |
| 84 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Cool space. Dark brewpub feel. Decent tap selection with tasters offered. Fill other growlers. Really can’t complain much. Go check it out.“ |
| 52 /100 Capital Ale House - Harrisonburg (Restaurant) 41-A COURT SQUARE “Perhaps it was the fact that I visited on a dreary Saturday afternoon in the depths of winter, but I found the Harrisonburg Capital Ale House to be a pale shadow of the other locations in the chain. Service was slow and underinformed about the beers on offer. Everything seemed to be just about adequate and nothing more. Sure I’d stop by again in a pinch, but not a place to go out of your way for.“ |
| 60 /100 Ruby’s Arcade (Restaurant) 100B, 165 S MAIN ST. “This place is very cool! There are pool tables, ping pong tables, even 2 lanes for duckpin bowling! As far as a beer destination, it’s alright. They have several taps, all of them local, and the prices are pretty fair. They have quite a bit of food too, but I didn’t order anything.“ |
| 88 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “This is Harrisonburg’s best brewery experience. The beer here is very good-to-special, one of those places making beer that has yet to become famous but is getting there. (They’ve won a GABF medal, so they’re not unknown.) All the usual brewery taproom niceties are here -- games, patio, etc. What’s surprising is that despite being a half dozen blocks from a university, the place stays super-chill. Credit the bookcase.“ |
| 80 /100 217 S LIBERTY ST “Largest taproom in town. Solid beers and reasonable pricing. Saw a food truck but didn’t eat.“ |
| 90 /100 800 N. MAIN STREET “Probably best in town. Modern taproom. Super helpful staff. Beer is high quality. Can’t ask for much more.“ |
| 74 /100 241 E MARKET ST “Satellite spot - store front taproom with some only brewed in Harrisonburg - trendy atmosphere.“ |
