Reviews for Vibrissa Beer in Winchester, VA
Very impressed with this place! The atmosphere is awesome - it looks like it belongs in Charlottesville, Richmond, or another... town known for their breweries rather than Winchester. The beers we tried were not incredible, but pretty good. We were unableto try the food, but that looked really good too. All in all a very cool place to hang out and have a drink. Read more
One of the best brewery environments in Winchester! Very large space with indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for small or large... groups. Excellent selection of beers and bites from the kitchen that compliment the drinks. Staff is very attentive and helpful.A must try while in Winchester! Read more
Love the overall vibe, super nice outdoor and indoor spaces. Lots of room for a big groups but also smaller options for couples.... Lots of parking, service was excellent. Food was quite good, beer options were not as good as I like to see but not enough totake a star off. Dog friendly, at least outside. Read more
Nice new brewpub in Winchester. What makes this place different from most of the other microbrew locations is they have a full... restaurant with excellent food, not a ?food truck? or limited snack food as many in Winchester currently have. The outsideseating is very nice, with covered tables and a fire pit to also sit around. Inside seating was packed, but the weather wasperfect for outside. The large tables have built in ?lazy susan? turntables, so if you order shareable food, can spin around soeveryone can reach it easily?nice touch! You can look at the food and beer menu with your phone online, however there was alsostaff who came by and helped order as well as delivered the food. Ordered a taster selection of IPA style beers, nice varietyof tastes and styles. Same with the food, ordered a variety and was well pleased with the selection as well as the quality. The pizza was outstanding?cooked perfect and very flavorful. Only a couple downsides 1st, the beer samplers are glass?and comeon slick plastic plate?.any ideas about how this slips and slides around? Waiter almost lost both our samplers?really not wellthought out. 2nd, the interior is incredibly loud due to the modern ?sparse? style of furnishings; lots of hard wood, solidfloors, ceilings, tables, with little if anything soft to break up the bouncing sound waves. If you are in your 20?s to 30?s itwill probably be fine. However anyone in their 40?s on up will hate the overwhelming cacophony of noise. Too bad, because whenwe walked through the inside, it looked nice, however we could not stand the racket. If they added some good sound treatmentpanels around, it could not only enhance the look, but would definitely help with the issue. Would I go there again - Yes?justas long as we can sit outside, which unfortunately then limits the visits to fall/spring when it is good weather outside?.what ashame. And have to keep in mind the samplers might wind up in your lap. Would I recommen Read more
Been there 2x now and love everything about this place. Service has been a bit slow due to understaffed.... but that's... everywhere these days. I've tried atleast 6 beers now, my favorite IPA is The Small Things. The porter and lager are alsodelicious. Very spacious indoors with a great atmosphere! The outdoors is also cozy, especially near the gas fireplace. Welove the canopy tents that seats 7, those table have lazy Susan's on them.... making food and beer sharing/sampling betweenfriends extra easy. Outdoors is dog friendly!!! The wings, antipasto app, sliders and The meat Lovers (add jalapeños) pizza isall tasty! Bonus, 5 blocks walking distance from our house.... Read more
First time trying out this new location today. Fantastic experience. Such a great selection of beers (and right up my alley with... the selection of traditional German-style beers, but they've got a little something for everyone) and I appreciated the wine andcider options, as well. The food I had was amazing, the folks working here were super attentive and friendly, and the adaptivereuse of this space is so well done. It's like a little oasis. Winchester needed a place like this! ???????? Read more
Can?t handle how good the experience was. The atmosphere is great, the food was tasty (and arrived within minutes of ordering at... the bar), and the beer actually had flavor (so: not dyed water, and not liquified hops) Add to that the fact that this was day1 of being open - I am looking forward to making this a regular haunt. Vibrissa would fit in, and do great, in a proper foodiecity. I couldn?t be more pleased. Read more
A great addition to Winchester?s downtown. A wide selection of tasty brews and the food is top-notch. We had the muffuletta and... the smash burger with fries. Both were excellent, but after seeing pizzas leave the kitchen, I can?t wait to return and tryone. The courtyard outside also looked really cozy and toasty around the fire ring! Read more
