9 Best Craft Breweries near Gainesville

“TCB feels like your local bar (think Cheers) but as a brewery. Great diverse selection of beers, friendliest staff of any brewery, and just a great vibe. The BEST quizmaster ever on Thursday nights, I mean, the best. Plays great 80’s music between questions, automated spreadsheet, wide variety of topics, entire quiz night is on power point, and great personality.“

“We had an end of year company party in the Barrel room OBH . Beer was obviously good, and food was cattered .I didn't catch the name of the caterer, but the food was good too .I was busy with greatings , etc, so I didn't get pics .Nice layout and plenty of beer choices .“

“Kevin and Melody are great people and friends. The beer and setting are excellent. Focus is on the beer, good people, and a peaceful, agricultural setting. True quality. Also, Kevin totally generously, and totally unnecessarily, lined up to play Messi's first MLS game on the projector in their barrel room for my wife and my date night. Was such an awesome night and game. Won't forget that kindness of Kevin's! That's the kind of people your dealing with here.“

“Sinistral Brewery is a fun go to spot with many activities and great drinks in the heart of downtown Manasses! With plenty things ranging from Trivia Nights every two weeks on Wednesday nights. Emo nights with great emo playlist from the wonderful staff and amazing bar tenders. Shout out to Gil for always being a good time and happy!“

“Played here with the Northern Virginia Firefighters Emerald Society Pipe Band today after the Manassas St. Patricks Day Parade. I ordered the Scottish Ale and was pleased to find it tasted like a Scottish Ale should. Tentatively, I ordered a Black Pearl Porter. It tasted like a porter…no chocolate, peanut butter ,rapserry, nor other extra flavors so many other craft breweries try to put in their porter to make it “unique”. I will be back sample the rest of their line. So rare these days to find a craft brewery which has the courage and confidence in their skill to make quality brews that qualify as excellent examples of the style of beer without the gimmicks. Well done.“

“We held a birthday party here for 50 people, and it was perfect! Good beer, helpful staff, and an easy location for our guests to park, hang out, and have a great time. We ordered catering from an outside restaurant, and Ornery made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual event space for a party.“

“2 Silos is a definite go to place if you are looking for a lively spot for happy hour, after work get together or just a good place to get a good drink. When you first drive in to the area, you are greeted by parking attendants. There was overall lots of parking when arrived so I'm assuming that the area gets really packed on the late nights and weekends. I had no issue finding parking though. The area is overall really cute with 2 Silos snugged in between two other restaurants. The restaurant is open seating but we had no issue finding parking inside or outside. You do have to order at the bar which is a walk up but the service is overall quick once you order. The bourbon drink I got was absolutely delicious as well as the wings and nacho platter that I ordered. The restaurant was lovely and I loved the vibe of the service workers as well as the crowd. I would highly recommend for any occasion.“

“The food was very good! I think they make amazing fries but the only complaint I have is the service, they are freindly however very slow, The food takes a while to come and they don’t really check up on you. This has good food I just wish the servers were quicker with attending us and the kitchen w the food being down quicker“

“This place deserves 6 stars or more! We found it by chance in Google Maps. We gave it a try because many reviews said it was a family-friendly place. 100% true. Kids are allowed in all areas. Playground, live music, kids menu, fire pit, large grass areas, little gardens. all you need for a high-quality family day. Importantly, the beers were great, and prices were ok.“
