Taproom + Beer Garden

Parking Note: 

We work to stage easy-to-follow parking in our lot, and we have arranged spillover lots nearby for busy days. Details to help you better get to the beers & cheers are below!

Read below for all you need to plan your trip to the brewery (and for spillover parking options)! 

The Virginia Beer Company features its own parking lot located at the brewery (401 2nd Street). Our staff will stage additional parking along the perimeter of the parking lot to help provide on-site spillover parking as well! 

We want everyone to be safe – if you need to leave your car overnight, you’re welcome to do so! Let us know if you need suggestions for alternate methods to get home safely.

At times the lot can fill up quickly but spillover parking options are available (see below)!

– NEW IN 2023 — NO PARKING ALERT: Speedway (395 2nd Street). 

• Parking used to be available in the striped spaces behind the gas station…
  • Speedway is now owned by 7-Eleven, and the new management says they may tow non-customers from these spots. Park there at your own risk. 
• Any cars parked anywhere else on the Speedway lot (ie, not in the striped spots behind the station) will DEFINITELY be towed.

NEARBY PARKING OPTIONS:

– Other neighboring businesses after they close:

• Varies based on business and posted signage – please look before you park or you may be towed.

If you do end up driving and need to park elsewhere, please be respectful of our neighbors. While they are open to helping us with spillover needs, their spots are for their customers first and foremost! 

While we have neighborly relationships with these nearby businesses, The Virginia Beer Company is not responsible for any vehicles parked on another business’s property – this includes towing, the vehicles themselves, and any personal property left in a vehicle. 

If you are a local, the use of alternate methods of arrival and carpooling are always appreciated. 

There are sidewalks leading in all directions to/from the brewery, and we are an easy walk/ride from downtown Colonial Williamsburg! While our bike racks are not yet installed, we have numerous posts around the facility to use for chaining up your bicycle.

The WATA bus route runs near the brewery and we would also suggest ride share options such as local cab companies, Lyft, and Uber.

Lastly, we want everyone to be safe & smart!

Please be careful when walking through any parking lots or when crossing streets.

Again, you’re welcome to leave a car overnight. We’ll gladly recommend public and alternate means of transportation and want to make sure that your experience with us is a fun and positive one. 

We look forward to sharing beers & cheers with you!
