James River Brewery

Just a real swell bunch of people always have a great time.

Nice local brews, created on site. They even use local hops when they can get them. Prices are reasonable and you can imbibe indoors or out. Quick service with a smile and nice robust beers to fit any taste. Come down and hoist a few with the locals!

Excellent local brewery with indoor seating and outdoor beer garden in back with live music, corn hole, and a fire pit. Plenty of local take-out food within a one block walk.

This brewery is a unexpected gem for this little river town I love. A great place to grab beers if you’re a local or a visitor - if you’re local, the mug club is the way to go. The bar staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, the space has been beautifully renovated, and they’ve got a rotating selection of brews that are consistent and on point. The beer garden is the best part: an outdoor bar, shaded space for relaxing and catching up with friends over beer, fire pits and a stage for live music. They also have a good selection of board games and a weekly trivia night. While JRB doesn’t have their own kitchen, many of the downtown restaurants will deliver to the brewery.
