Taproom + Beer Garden

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 Second Street). Our staff will stage additional parking along the perimeter of the parking lot to help provide on-site spillover parking as well! Please refrain from parking against the flow of staged parking (ie, please do not park parallel to the curb, but do park parallel to other cars). 

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.

Vehicles that are double parked, parked along the island in the rear, or parked in the food truck pull-in will be asked to move and may be subject to towing.

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

NEXT DOOR PARKING OPTIONS:

– Next door behind (but not next to) Speedway. 

• Parking available all day, every day.

ADDITIONAL PARKING OPTIONS

Around Shorty’s Diner (daily after 2 pm): 

• If you park here, you must cross the street to get to the brewery. Unfortunately there is no crosswalk (we’re working on one with York County!).
• If you decide to park here, please be very careful crossing the street.

The shopping center across the street (behind Hardees) has plenty of spaces: 

• If you park here, you must cross the street to get to the brewery. Unfortunately there is no crosswalk (we’re working on one with York County!).
• If you decide to park here, please be very careful crossing the street.

Other neighboring businesses after they close for the evening:

• 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, we would like to keep their lots clear when possible! 

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!
