What people say

In their words

We chose Patch Brewing as they were along our drive between Charlottesville and Washington and especially because they are members of an RV hospitality program so we were able to spend the night after our dinner.

This was a fabulous evening, arriving at around 5:30 pm to a packed parking lot but the inside was not at all busy. A few folks at their dart boards but most people were outside for "Music Bingo" and that gave us choices to be comfortable. David at the bar was a delight, taking and filling orders.

Mrs. K. and I chose our drinks and meals. I very much enjoyed my Very Italian Pilsner and later the Lemicky Light Lager. We dove into a Cowboy Bill Burger, onion rings, cheese curds and perfectly seasoned fries. It was all the food groups and delicious.

I'd say my only complaint is that they closed this evening at 8. If they were open until 9, I would have stayed longer and had another beer. Still, it was a lovely time and an easy five star review.

Excellent Beer, Excellent Food. Definitely family friendly for you and all your friends. Corn hole, ring toss and some local food trucks on site. This mexican food truck they had on site was some of the best food I could ever get!

Let me start by saying I did not have food. I went to try the beer and check out the atmosphere.
It's a large location with lots of seating options. Inside, outside, shade and sun.
There is also something for everyone. Darts, board games, arcade games all inside. There are two inside locations. There is a stage for a band. A small fenced in dog area. A playground, a field, and fire pits.
It looked like you could bring your own food.
There is mostly no smoking areas so if you like a cigar with your beer you need to walk away from where most of the patrons are.
It's a very family friendly environment. Family focused in some ways.
Three guy band sounded great. Music was an unexpected surprise.
Super excited to see they sold my favorite cider, normally found at the farmers market.
Food looked good. Employees were nice. Very relaxing atmosphere. I went during the day on a weekend.
