"Since opening in 2016, the Veil came out swinging, claiming awards for Best New Brewer in Virginia and #3 Best New Brewer in the world, according to Rate Beer. Each of the brewery’s three locations has a distinct vibe. The original in Scott’s Addition is an austere lounge with a solid line-up of food trucks on the weekend. An industrial-modern stunner in Forest Hill shares a space with Y Tu Mamá taqueria, Blanchard’s Coffee, and Charm School Study Hall. The eclectic and cozy Funkhaust Café taproom in the city’s West End has a small but significant sampling of crushable beers." - Stephanie Ganz

The Veil does not disappoint. The beers are varied in style but I do wish there were more low abv options. Had the Merciless Hazy IPA and tried the Belgian quad, and both were excellent. The Asian food options were excellent. Had the pork belly rice: the sauce was amazing and the pork belly rich and flavorful. Comfy seats at the tables but they need more 2 or 4 person tables for those wanting a less public place to sit and drink. It would also be nice if the patio was covered to afford more comfortable outdoor seating in rainy or super sunny conditions. Overall though, the Veil is still one of the best breweries in Richmond!

I went to the Veil by myself with my two dogs after reading that their patio was dog friendly. At first I was upset because you can only order inside and the dogs aren’t allowed inside, and there were no servers or any employees at all outside. But, I decided to call. I talked to a wonderful employee named Sam who met me at the door and took my order and brought everything out to me and the dogs. She brought my to-go beers out too and all of the beer was fantastic! Thank you Sam for making it a great experience!

This place feels like it was created by an AI algorithm. What do young people want? Hip vibes and hazy IPAs. Well they have IPAs at a level I had yet to see. I counted 16 IPAs on tap while I was there. Tried two and both were great. The Hefeweizen was a step below but still very solid. I got a hip lounge vibe while here; not fully my thing but I’m not gonna complain; to each their own. Saw more young people at a brewery than I’ve ever seen before. Tons of bathrooms and each are closed door with total privacy; family bathrooms too. Felt old being here, but glad I visited. I’d come back for the hazy options but spend most of my time at Väsen when in the area. After visiting a dozen more breweries since this review, I’ve decided to upgrade Veil to five stars as the IPAs are worth 5-stars alone.

This place has an awesome selection of brews available along with food options. There was plenty of seating available inside and out. You definitely must stop here when doing your bar hopping in Scott's Addition.

Excellent beer and food (via the in-house Japanese counter-service restaurant). Decent merchandise, too, although possibly better at the other location. Beers have some focus on IPAs and fruited sours (thicc bois), but with a few options for everyone. Similar vibe to their other main RVA location. Convenient spot in town. Loved it!

We hosted our wedding’s welcome drinks in the Neon Room at The Veil Brewing Company, and it was a great experience. With around 100 attendees, the space was just the right size, creating a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. Everyone had a great time, and the setup was perfect for what we envisioned. If you’re planning an event here, we highly recommend reserving the separate register—it made everything much easier for our group. Madison, our event coordinator, was incredibly accommodating. She allowed us to put a slideshow on the TVs and even made arrangements so we could drop off items and decorations ahead of time. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or support for our welcome party!

I had the stout- arctic crypt, the Belgian - Klean Belgiez, and an Ipa -strange and eternal. All excellent. My favorite was the Belgium. Great service and fair prices.

I've loved beers from the veil for years. Therefore, I had high hopes from a brewery visit. This place did not disappoint. The beers are always absolutely phenomenal. The vibe of the place was laid-back but urban. Service was kind and outstanding. I wish we had more time to spend there, because the restaurant inside the brewery smelled amazing. I highly recommend.

Best grilled corn I've had at a restaurant - but the chicken I got was noooot good which was a bummer. I think the sauce was some sort of miso mayo and it wasn't that great either. But the corn stole the show and was enough for me. My friend wanted to come here as she is a beer fanatic, and she did say all the beers she had were chef's kiss! We sat in the outdoor seating area which was huge and cute vibes! Slightly a self service place. You order at the front, given a buzzer, and when it buzzes you can go grab your food and bring it to the table.

Visiting for a work trip and took advantage of some free time to visit a brewery I have drank plenty of but never visited. Walking in, I knew to expect hazy ipas and barrel aged stouts. I was not let down! The venue felt very new and was super clean. It had a cool little food venue built in with several seats, and a nice little merchandise section. The beer options were plentiful and I was sad I could only have a couple small pours due to plans later in the evening. I was really hoping for some smaller flight size options but they do not offer them. As someone who previously bartended, I understand not having them but I still was hopeful! I was pleasantly surprised by a solid whiskey list alongside the beers. The to go cooler was also loaded with all kinds of goodies. The staff was knowledgeable and easily pointed out some crowd favorites, personal favorites and suggestions based on my preferences. Great beer tender, I didn't catch his name but he was a smaller statue guy, tattoos, and wearing what was maybe a long kilt? I look forward to revisiting and grabbing some food as well as more beers.

I've been a fan of The Veil since their first location. This location on Moore Street (although the address is Belleville) is even nicer. Met a colleague here last night for a work session. Ordered my lager and fried chicken and found a spot on the patio to pop open my laptop and get to work. Nice, open space with large tables and umbrellas should it be needed to shield you from the sun. Open area inside as well with sexy event space, too. My lager hit the spot. The fried chicken was fried a little too hard and past tender, but the flavor was pretty good. Parking can be tricky, especially since the implementation of those strange bike lanes. Oh, and please fix the "ramp" inside the front door. It cannot possibly be graded to code. I stutter step on it each and every time.

The Veil Brewing boasts an impressive beer selection and a fully stocked bar offering delicious cocktails. The dog-friendly patio is wonderful, and the food is equally delightful. Their Sunday morning run club adds a unique and enjoyable experience for patrons. This brewery combines great drinks, tasty food, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a standout spot.

Tori S.

Yelp
For my last review I gave them only 2 stars because their food was horrendous, but they have since revamped their menu. They once again have karaage chicken, but this time it is done right - all boneless meat, more than just 2 pieces of chicken, and the breading is perfect. HUGE improvement from a year ago. The beer has always been good, but now the food is up on the same level.

Stephanie B.

Yelp
This place has it all! Large variety of beverage options - including wines, cocktails. The staff is more than helpful when selecting beers. The food is good (but have only had the wings and fries). There are tvs to catch sporting events with plenty of seating options (inside and out). The line can get crazy and the environment loud when going during peak hours but we tend to avoid those times. Def a fan!

Yelp
Recently got to try a beer from The Veil Brewing and I have to say that it was a fairly decent experience! The Master Shredder is what Steve and I had. It's a New England IPA and was pretty refreshing! With tropical, hoppy and dry flavors this light and smooth beer would be great with pub fare type food!

Kimberly R.

Yelp
We tried the shrimp special of the day. It was $8. The appetizer came with about 6-8 MASSIVE shrimp. It was a different flavor palette but we are glad we tried it. The staff was kind and quick! The vibe is SICK. Inside is SO MOODY, all black, neon lights. Since it was a beautiful day we sat outside, they have plenty of outdoor seating. We both enjoyed the beers we had! I'd definitely return next time I'm in the area.

I'm a HUGE fan of The Veil and have been here dozens of times over the years. Their beers are absolutely top notch, but they recently relocated and I didn't much care for the new place. It's hard to define it. The service is still good and the beers are still great. Perhaps is nostalgia of the change...not really sure. The new place is different - larger, restaurant in premise now - but it feels too big. Might seem like an odd complaint, but I miss the Roseneath location.

Jen O.

Yelp
Came to meet up with a colleague who is local to Richmond. I needed good IPA and a funky super casual vibe. Love everything about this place and the beer is great. I had a Master Shredder, A Patient Man, and then another Patient Man. So so good.

The Veil in Scotts Addition has moved to it's new location this past weekend. They are now located at 1509 Belleville Street (Same block as Tang & Biscuit) The new location is totally brand new, roomier, stylish and divided into multiple types of seating. There are indoor community tables, dining type tables and solo bar top type tables. Outside there's modern outdoor couches and coffee tables. All of their taxidermy animals have made the move as well so they tried to maintain some of the old vibe. The beer and beverage menu has greatly expanded and improved. There's a wider range of different types of beers, ciders, wine and even a few mixed cocktails on tap ( the Japanese Old Fashioned is very good!). There still seems to be slow service and you should expect to wait on a long line to purchase beverages. I was hoping this did not carry over from the old location. The new location now has a restaurant named "Nokoribi" which serves Japanese influenced light fare. I didn't try any food this visit since you have to wait on the same long beer line to order food as well. **NOTE - I did notice this morning on Instagram that the Veil posted that online food ordering will be available soon. So this will be a nice option to order food directly from an app or website. This was their opening weekend and they did have a live DJ outside along with a lobster roll pop up outside. It was a fun atmosphere and I'm looking forward to returning to sample some of the food options and taste some of their other beers.

Great beers, poor service. Staff never smiled, acted as if we were bothering them when we ordered, and we were the only ones in there. The person who designed the restrooms shouldn't be allowed to ever work again. You almost have to stand on the toilets to get out when you open the door and the faucets are so short, your hands brush the bottom of the sink as you wash up. BUT, The beer, as always, is great

Kellie D.

Yelp
Arrived around four on a Saturday. The line to order a beer was all the way to the door, and the place is big! We waited in line and it was well worth it. The Never Never Forever Forever is one of the best sours I've ever had. The line continued throughout the night which is surely a sign of good beer. It looked like they had food on one side but we did not explore that. I'd definitely like to come back to this place if in town again.

Love the aesthetic and vibes of this place. Made a stop on our trip to RVA, and would definitely stop by on our next trip as well. Lots of selection, lots of space, and friendly staff. And I'm a sucker for cool neon lights.

Always love stopping in when back in town, reminiscing over the days I lived three blocks away. The Veil has a bunch of specialties, most notably their IPA and Stout offerings. If you're a fan of stout season, this is the place to stock up when they've got the goods (reason I stopped in during this visit, couple bottles for the road). The taproom itself fits the vibe, dark, enchanted almost, a few of the spots at tables sit under lights, otherwise, she's a bit dim. Pending time you arrive there's generally decent seating but you can likely expect to stand during peek hours. There's generally a good mix of options on tap between classic crispy lagers, hazy ipas, fruited and tart sours, and the dark goods. This particular trip they were a bit thin on stouts due to being in between events but that anniversary is coming up . I did Broz Night Out which is a smooth flavorful DIPA that I always recommend. Also gave All that you feel: cherry, a shot which will wake your tastebuds up. The cherry is delightful though. My partner had the Black And Blue Tastee which was delicious and the Haunted: Vanilla sessionable stout which was light with a decent flavor. Staff was a pleasure as always, for craft beer lovers the Veil is always a must.

Chris C.

Yelp
I got the 'mountain' and 'lock lock' IPAs. The mountain was much imo, but to be fair mountain was on draft (wasn't aware lock lock was can-only until it was too late). There was an okay NA selection for my wife, but I feel it could/should be expanded. The main reason for four stars was the lack of vegan options from the kitchen. At least, vegan options weren't at all made clear on the menu. The sparse NA options didn't help either. The service was built for speed and they delivered. The atmosphere was pretty typical for a brewery, though I would prefer less taxidermy. Shoutout to the bathroom design though! All bathrooms should be designed that way imo

Rod D.

Yelp
Very clean, modern and spacious new location. Same fantastic beers and across the board in styles as always. Staff was accommodating for the most part, one young man was very friendly and expressed appreciation for our extended visit when I told him we were on a beercation. The eats from Nokoribi are a bit on the pricey side but very good. I'm sure the powers that be at The Veil have reasons for not listing on Untappd but dang, I've had about 100 different beers from this brewery so after a 5 hour drive I'm mostly looking for unique check-ins. It'd sure make picking out what I want (and in what order) a whole lot faster/easier. Also makes to-go shopping a piece of cake.

James H.

Yelp
One of my favorite breweries in Scott's Addition. A lot of great drink options and very spacious interior. The ambiance was unique with many different seating areas and outdoor seating options. Also within this brewery was an Asian fusion restaurant/dining option. The food smelled really good but I had already ate so didn't get to try or look at the menu. Overall, a great place to hang out with friends.

Gregory F.

Yelp
Favorite brewery in Richmond - both from an ambiance perspective and a quality-of-beer perspective. So many options (see expansive menu pics) - and plenty of unique flavors, ESPECIALLY if you are a sour or stout lover like me. They'll let you try anything - and I wish I could write a review for the ones I tried too, but alas I am not that much of a tryhard. 10/10 would recommend the "Mood" and "Arctic Crypt" - a flavorful Hefe and a uniquely sweet + smooth stout respectively. The interior of this place is HUGE - plenty of seating, space for events (they had some artists/vendors there too!), as well as outdoor seating for the summer! Staff was super friendly and catering to our taste - let us try everything and was very patient with some very indecisive people (i.e. us LOL). We had heard whispers of this place from our friend who is a self-proclaimed beer enthusiast - and honestly it showed up. The only place we got a four-pack of beers to-go from - and would 100x over go back to + recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Several locals didn't speak kindly of The Veil, stating it's not where the locals go. However, I'm glad I decided to come by here yesterday. The place is unique in that they have a Japanese style food counter which I thought was cool. The beer selection here is large and covers all bases. I decided to get a bottle of Sake as I'm a huge Sake lover. For $48 it was ok. I was stoked to see they had 2 Trillium beers on tap here as I'm from MA and Trillium is one of my favorite breweries. The atmosphere was ok and the service was good. I can see myself returning for sure.

Yelp
They mail the most important part - great beer! We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was crowded. They have a great outdoor space with high tops, lounge areas, and are dog-friendly outside. They had a dj outside as well. Inside was a very different vibe as it almost felt like a club - long darker hallways, lounge areas, a bit trendier with a kitchen in the center (no dogs allowed inside). Chill spot and excellent beer.

Visited the new Scott's Addition Veil and well, it's pretty much the same as the old Veil. Menu seemed bigger with more beer, cider, wine and 2 cocktails on draft than I remember which was a great variety. You wait in a long line for your beer and noone ever seems to have a sense of urgency to move the line faster. I always found this at the old spot too. You wait in the same line to order drinks or food. I was looking forward the trying Nokoribi but wanted to enjoy our drinks before eating....mistake because when we ready to order food, the line was twice as long as it had been when we arrived, so if you note point above about line moving slow, we did not get in line again for food. I wish there were either qr codes on the tables or a separate line for food. Maybe next time! Gender neutral and family bathrooms, community sink outside bathrooms. Rooms were kind of small, with black toilets. Sink area was dark (red walls, low lighting), and the faucet seemed very close to sink (not a lot of space between faucet and base of sink as you wash your hands) Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality (this is for the beer) +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

The veil brewing is such a nice spot to grab a drink in Scott's Addition. The Decour is so cool, including their neon light fixtures, and taxidermy. Such a cool place to meet up with friends!

Felt the need to update my 6-year old review. The Veil has transformed itself into an amazing destination, with updated cuisine as well as a traditional bar and cocktails. Their beer list and signature style of IPAs makes this a must-visit in Richmond if you are a fellow fan of beer.

Mike G.

Yelp
I've not had the food yet. The main place is nice. I had an issue purchasing something that was on the website for purchase and pickup at the brewery. When I got there to buy the bottle it was not available, but still on the website to purchase. I messaged the brewery and the Marketing Director made things right with me. I really appreciate the dedication to their customers satisfaction! I will definitely visit the brewery again!

Natasha U.

Yelp
Hands down, definitely best brewery in Richmond. Their beers are all so delicious, whether you go for a fruity sour or hazy IP or Imperial Stout, you will be thoroughly satisfied with anything you select at Veil. These are extremely high quality beers and even the canned beers are excellent. Now that we are living in Scott's Addition, we can walk here! Plenty of outdoor seating available and lot of folks bring their dogs. It's still nice out in October so it's a good time to head over there now. They are constantly putting out new releases. I want all of them! So as you can read, I love Veil! Highly recommended

Roger H.

Yelp
This is among the best beer makers in the southeast. IPA and Imperial stouts go on record as among the best I've tried and rival some of the greats in Vermont. Terrific brewpub at this location with ample in and outdoor seating Tried the aged bottles (pricy) ...stellar.

Kyle G.

Yelp
They don't honor their prices. Fried chicken is $9 on the displayed menu yet they told me it was $14. When asked about the discrepancy they shrugged their shoulders. Any business that can't honor what's in writing won't get my money.

I came here with my friend I'm visiting to get some beers and food. I had the fried cod sandwich from the food selection that was provided and it was so good! One of the best sammies I've had honestly. I'm giving the good review bc of that sandwich but the bartenders were acting like they didn't want to be there so I didn't feel very welcomed.

Be careful what you order for beer - sometimes it's good, sometimes not. Pretentious place. For context: I'm a 20+ year home brewer and a fan of beer with well over 4K individual Untappd checkin's from years of global travel ....I kind of know what gross beer is. AND I know how profitable this business can be...with a party of 9 . Anyway, my objection is that I I purchased a 6 oz that I found to be disgusting; I tried to turn it in and ask for something else. First the tender smart ass'ed a response, then said he would have to charge me for another 6oz pour. They wouldn't give up 6 oz for serving a crummy beer? They don't do flights so be sure you ask for a taster before you buy. :)

Had some lovely beer. Atmosphere is casual and comfortable. There were many seating options.

I got birria tacos. They were flavorful and good but a bit too much fat on my meat. I tried the painkiller drink and it was amazing. I don't drink beer but this tastes like a smooth cocktail. I don't know how the servers are because we ordered and took our food and drinks upstairs. The place is huge , very clean. My only gripe is the demon and skulls in neon lights on the wall makes me uncomfortable. Love everything else.

Came here on the way to the Squirrels game on Saturday night and had a beer while catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. There was a big outdoor area that seemed lively and busy. There were people with their dogs outside having drinks. My friend and I sat inside next to a stuffed bear. There seemed to be lots of extra space and ample amounts of seating, inside and outside. Don't remember what beer I tried but it was one of the best I'd had in awhile. Line for beer wasn't that bad. Couldn't help but notice a lot of the women drinking here were dressed almost exactly the same: high-waisted jean shorts, sleeveless shirt, and their hair up in a bun or ponytail. This must be the style for women in Richmond. I'll come here again at some point.

First time here. There's outdoor seating in addition to indoor seating. Food served outdoors. It's in Scott's Addition. Easy access to public transportation. The Tefnut Mango is really good but comes in a can. Painkiller has a pineapple taste. Good prices. You can taste before buying as long as the drinks are on tap. Open 4-9PM weekdays 12-10PM Saturdays 12-6PM Sundays.

I did a pretty substantial tour of several NC and VA breweries. This was my favorite hands down. I've only been once, but this may already be my favorite VA brewery. One important bias to note: I can't stand how overdone barrel aged stouts are nowadays so when I find a whiskey stout that is "done right" from my perspective I get pretty excited. "sleeping forever" is fantastic and definitely on par with the seasonal dark stouts at Heliotrope (another fav of mine) . Aside from stouts I sampled a ton of DIPA and IPA that were all excellent. I think regardless of preferences anyone would agree the brewers here top notch and know how to execute whatever they set out to do. It made me think of the nashville music scene where everything sounds amazing even if it's not a genre I get into.

Veil Brewing has a great vibe ambiance to it and great beer to boot. Check in was quick and paiess. They have an extensive outdoor space some of which is covered by a tent while the rest is not. When we went they had a pizza food truck and the cheese pizza hit the spot. Beer selection is great and I liked the saison called Weightless.

When an American from Bethesda, MD goes to a place like Picton, Ontario Canada and the brewmasters at All My Friends tell you that you need to go to The Veil, it is hard to question the 2 hour drive South (from Bethesda, 11 hours from Picton). Yet, I did, and I didn't actually go until I happened to be at an event in Richmond, VA. Whispers and mythology can over-hype breweries, especially when coming from the usual friends whose baseline for good beer is Miller Lite, but when the recommendation is coming from legitimate beer-lovers, investigation is warranted. The Veil lived up to all promises and expectations, and even the hype of the beer aficionados at a rural Canadian brewery. Beer = awesome. Food truck (not sure which one, but had fried beef) = solid and delicious. Hospitality = makes me want to drive 2 hours just to hang out and have a beer, pick up a case, and drive back (or go down, catch an Uber, and stay the weekend). I think definitely worth a several-hour trip for anyone that loves good beer.

Great drink and food selection! Open atmosphere, didn't feel crowded even on a nice Sunday. Two things would make it 10/10, hooks on the bathroom doors for purses and an area near the trash cans to put glasses.

I love this place. It is mainly outdoors, and they have done a wonderful job adjusting to the pandemic. Everything is covered to shield you from the weather. They have tables and benches. It is basically in a parking lot which is odd, but the vibe is a lot of fun. The important part- Their sour beers are delicious. They almost have the consistency of a smoothie. As someone who does not drink much beer, it is nice to be able to go out with friends and order something that tastes good. This place is my go to in Scott's Addition.

This brewery is popular so reservations, especially on weekends, are a must during COVID-19. There is only seating available outdoors at the moment. When you arrive, you check-in and will be shown to your table. You scan the QR code before getting in line to order your beer. Beers are available in 6 or 12oz pours. I lean very heavily towards IPAs so I tried the yellowferrari and idontwannabu. I liked the second one better. I wish that I was able to try more of their beers while in Richmond, next time. I do think that Veil is worth checking out, cheers!

Amazing spot, great service. Beer selection is great - my favorites are their fruited sours and stouts. Although I do enjoy DIPAs I'm not a fan of Veils IPAs. However, I knew that going in since I've had their beer before. Always have a different food truck, which is great. If you are ever in Richmond stop in, they have two locations that I am aware of.

The beer is excellent. Line to get the beer is way too long. Albeit it was a nice weekend with beautiful weather, but still. The Veil Brewing specializes in IPAs with other styles mixed in. I tried a gose and I think a sour ipa: blueberry Kevin and never never weak weak. The never was my favorite, a collaboration with a juice company. It has a nice strawberry flavor without being too much. The blueberry Kevin was in-your-face blueberry with sour ipa following it up. Both were really good. My husband had two IPAs and liked them both. The atmosphere and decor are nice and the outdoor area is defined by shipping containers and overhead screens. It was 80ish degrees and we felt totally comfortable in jeans. I like The Veil Brewing but they need more staff to keep the lines down. It's bad when you spend more time waiting in line than drinking the beer...and I'm a slow drinker.
