πŸ‘πŸ‘ This place is GREAT! Full tap list of nothing but winners. Even if it's a style I don't care for, I know the quality will be good. Buncha other good things: big tables, trivia nights, food trucks, best drunken pizza in town, but ... 100% the best BEST part is the staff are friendly and cool. People often mention great, beer, Great, good, beers,

  • 5/5 Johnny V. 3 years ago on Google β€’ 173 reviews
    Awesome staff! There were no waits when you're ready for the next craft beer, such a great selection and they make it locally, which is an awesome plus! Went on a Saturday night and enjoyed a comedy show while sipping and chugging different beverages, what a great place to hang out and enjoy being away from home and still be comfortable almost like being in another home. Such a great place! Thank you.

    Had a great time getting a beer & chillin'. Board games galore for when you want to add some competition to the night. I love nostalgia so them having old war photos is such a cool idea when you want to appreciate the brave men & women who fought for this country.

    Even though this place is WAAAAY off the beatin path, I love the service! Also, it’s VETERAN OWNED, so as a veteran myself, I’ll support them in any way I can! Always given top notch service and they remembered my name after only 1 visit…feels like home!

    Great experience for a Friday night with a friend! We caught some BBQ food truck outside and came into a great looking taproom with pleasant management and service. I tried the Porter, Oatmeal stout and the hefeweizen...all great! Definitely worth coming in off the beaten path to enjoy some great local craft brew!

    Visited on Sept. 4, 2022. Very pleasant and friendly bartender. Great beers very cold, and an inviting interior. Clean restroom. A very nice place to try some local brews.

    Great beer, great vibe, attentive staff. I get Buzzing bee 🐝 often at other places. At the brewery they have a Orange buzzing bee!! Also a grapefruit IPA. Both are dangerously easy to drink and taste wonderful! Lots of craft breweries here in Jax. Unfortunately this place has a political agenda. No thanks. Number one rule at bars? No talking about religion or politics. Try Wicked Barley instead, or Legacy.

    Speaking directly to anybody looking to work here. This was the worst work experience I’ve ever had. Bartenders here usually quit within 4 months. The owner, Ron throws tantrums and is the worst boss I’ve worked for. The location is pretty bad and the beer is decent.

    Nicely hidden away location, but easy to get to. Decorated with cool military pictures of ships, helicopters, and jets. It has a clean open area taproom. I never heard of this brewery before this past Monday. They have a lot of different beers and I've probably tasted half of them so far. All are solid and several are right in my wheelhouse. Love the Hop Banchee, amber, paratrooper porter, A5, CCJ stout. I hope that my local distributor in S. Carolina can get this beer. Wish they had room temp beers to go to take back home.

    I enjoy VBU so much, I introduced this place to a friend and he bought me a beer while we sat and chatted. Wednesday is trivia night so there was a good crowd. There's usually 2 servers on staff, but this night only one was on duty, but it was not an issue. I'll be back πŸ˜‰

    Nice atmosphere. Great place to hang out with friends...or make new friends. I liked the sour and fruit beers. They have trivia every Wed and other special events on a regular basis. They support our military, which is something I can get behind.

  • 5/5 Brandon S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great local brewery that's Veteran owned and operated. They have some of the best, most consistent beer in town. Every Thursday they have a small batch beer that's generally a one off of one of their normal beers. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. They are tucked away off of Western Way in an industrial park, so trust Google maps, there really is a brewery back there.

    Love this place. Great beers. CosmicKat for the win.

    Shelby was awesome, although she needs to let people know she's an Army vet. πŸ˜‰ My husband and I are Seabee vets and have wanted to visit this establishment for over a year now, and we finally made it. Well worth the drive. The beer was great, and so was the cider. Even got to meet a fellow EO. Great place, highly recommended if you like craft beer and Veterans!

    This is a nice surprise. Very welcoming. I am frequently visiting Mayport Naval Station on assignment and make sure I visit this place after off time. There are absolute knockout tap selections. My dilemma is trying to be in the area before the seasonal selections tap out. Key Lime Pilsner is the one I'm either too early or too late. But one of these days!

    One of our favorite bars in Jacksonville, we come all the time and have always had a great experience. Beer is great, staff is friendly and always quick with the pours. John (the bar manager) takes great care of us every time and even showed a very drunk customer the door when they were harrassing our table. Go Friday nights for live music!
