Help us make it rightBASECAMP BREWPUB is situated in the majestic valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains with a lodge style atmosphere. We brew authentic craft beer in our brewhouse with a traditional Germans style brewing system (eight barrel Hector liter) and pour fresh from 16 taps in the pub area. Our menu specializes in oak wood -fired smoked dishes and local fare.
BASECAMP BREWPUB & MEADOWS OPENS DAILY:...
Massive masonic-lodge looking building hidden away in the rolling hills of Virginia. Large taproom had the feel of a hunting lodge. About a dozen beers on tap, the 2 I had were solid. Fast, friendly service and a tasty burger. This campus and facility is huge and I did not explore most of it, and unfortunately now that it is owned by ABInBev I will never return.
and the quality may actually be better. This was a small local brewery/pub set at the foot of Wintergreen Resort and it initially fed off of the resort guests and locals but has grown exponentially over the past 10 years and now is a destination...
Situated at the base of the mountain before Wintergreen Resort. In a valley area with views of the mountains on all sides. Nice sized complex with just about all you need for a relaxing day. Inside bar and restaurant, outside bar and restaurant, building with spirits and cigars, place for Sunday brunch with coffee, and a building in the works for a distillery.
Spent most of our time outside....
A group of ten of us needed to pre-game this past weekends ACC championship game so we loaded up and had an enjoyable afternoon with great beers and a wonderful lunch.
The meals were outstanding as we had just about everything offered on the menu....
I love the venue. It is beautiful. Really enjoyed the beer. However the food was awful. We had the fish which had no flavor and the pork bbq was also very under seasoned. I would recommend a pretzel and beer.
We returned this year for dinner again. We had heard the food and service had dropped over the last year. While this may be true, DBB is still a great place for beers and a meal. We arrived Friday night around 6:30 and surprisingly we...
Visited Friday January 19. Was a busy night but waited only about 45 minutes for a table.
Beer while waiting was very good. Between the three of us we had a Gold Leaf Lager, and Eight Point IPA, and something dark that I can’t remember...
We had friends visiting from out of state and thought they might enjoy DBB. My husband and I had not been there for several years and had fond memories of the experience, the food and beer.
Unfortunately, we were SO disappointed this time! We all...
After reading great reviews of DBB, and seeing DBB in many different grocery stores in DC, we headed to the brewery in Virginia. The ambiance feels like you're in a lodge. It has many taxidermy animals on the walls (not my thing, but it's fine)....
Don’t miss this great place! What fun and what fabulous food! So many wonderful beers to pick from and the staff were prompt and friendly and very helpful!
Had their pretzel w/ cheese & pulled pork nachos for a meal....OMG...SOOOOO delicious!!! My husband had the 1/2 rack of ribs, baked beans and coleslaw....also amazing. And the beer flight was tasty too! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant!!!...
We were on a brewery tour around the Charlottesville area and stopped in at Devils Backbone. The brewery is near Wintergreen ski resort. The brewery is located in a large beautiful log building. They have built several out buildings with bars, outdoor seating, fire pits,...
Interesting vibe here with lots of taxidermy on the walls. The service was very friendly, the food was quite good too. The selection was decent. It's a good place, kind of off the beaten path though.
I knew this place was big, but I didn't realize just how big. It's huge, actually. Almost looked like a theme park when we drove up, and the sheer volume of cars in the lot did not bode well for us. So, there's the main building, which is lodge-like: crazy crap on the walls, and taxidermied animals everywhere. Outside there are tons of seating areas, with a fire pit, a pet area, a private room...
Was packed when we went - service was incredibly slow but friendly enough. The vibe is more like a chain restaurant than a brewery. It's fine, but nothing to seek out. If you're in town anyway it's worth stopping in but I wouldn't call it world class or a must.
On of our favorite places to hang out - great fun, great food, great beer!
This is a great place to have a meal or a brew, or both! Bring the family! Just 14 miles on the backroads from Davis Creek cabin!
Visited on a mid-summer Thursday evening. Medium busy but server said it was a lot busier than expected. Seated right away but waited about 15 minutes for server to stop by. Not in a rush but would have been nice to get a drink order in. Service was friendly and good after initial slowness. Food was excellent. Would def try again. Hopefully they will have enough staff.
Atmosphere is wonderful, relaxed listening to an awesome blue grass/ rock band (music not too loud) beer is tasty. Fish Tacos where very fresh, tasty with a little zest - light and not greasy....
They make fantastic beer, but the customer service was horrendous. I was really excited to taste the beers I haven't been able to find up in NoVa, sadly thanks to an incredibly rude bartender and server our group left after 35 minutes and not a drop of beer. This was the brewery I was most excited to try, but it was a huge disappointment. Go to Wild Wolf, blue Mountain, or Starr Hill if you...
Have enjoyed their beer in the past, so decided to try it for dinner. Got the halibut special and the smoked meat platter. The special was tasty but the smokehouse platter was fantastic- the...
We have lived in Virginia for the past year and a half. Whenever, we had visitors, we would take them to Devil's Backbone (DB) for the experience (great food and great beer). If I were writing...
The worst customer service out of any brewery I've ever been to. I do not suggest going here. You will just get attitude and rude remarks from the wait staff and STILL not get any service. Go up the road to Wild Wolf instead. If you want a big VA brewery I suggest Starr Hill who treats their customers attentively and friendly.
The beer, food and service are beyond reproach (not necessarily in that order)!
1 star
Top Notch Microbrewery and Restaurant
Best beer and place ever!! I'm so happy to have them local, here in va. \m/
First pint today and absolutely love the stuff, if only this was a local beer
The sweet potatoe fries are awesome... The ridges do something to the crispness.
The food is as good as the beer...
Delicious
Amazing! The best beer and greatest food! Wish we could get here more than once a year!
LOVE Devils Backbone - wouldn't change a thing about my experience here!
Obviously I love the beer, food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was also great. Can't wait to go back.
Awesome beer crafted by even better people. I had a chance to try several different beers this weekend and really enjoyed them all. My favorites were the Gold Leaf and Vienna Lager. Highly recommended!
OMGOSH!!!!!! Coming from the beer capital, Portland, OR, your beer is bad ass!! We were introduced to Azrael and the Vienna Lager, when we were beer buying mostly on a whim. We're here for graduation in West VA, but holy cow! We have been buying it up and bringing it back to the hotel for days. We're on a mission when we get home to see if our local shops will ship it in. Good stuff guys!!!...
Very crowded, beer and food were "ok". I would travel a bit further down the road for better beer and better food.
1 star
Fantastic venue. Amazing taxidermy decor! Great beer. Great food. Nice outdoor drinking area. We had the giant pretzel appetizer.... Highly recommend with a beer flight! I also ordered the...
Just tried "the Devil went down to Oregon ". Oh my, perfect!
Visiting DC from Ft Worth and was looking for some local beer. The brewery name got my attention. Real Ale Brewery in Austin...has a devils backbone beer. I have to say...y'all make a GREAT BEER. Went with 8 point....and Vienna lager. Gonna miss it when I go back to TEXAS!!
Food sucked. Waitress was nice. Food had no taste.
Love the Vienna Lager so decided to try the Schwartz Bier. Excellent stuff- and I'm not biased even though my last name is Schwartz
I Give It 5 Stars*****
Vienna Lager makes my day at the end of a long day
Great restaurant as well as brew pub. Packed with people having a great time. Many there for food as well as beer. Good bar with liquor and wine well supplied as well.
A bit disappointed that "flights" were fixed. So I skipped these. However, they had "shorties"/half pours. So sampling was still very easy, affordable and not toxic if you wanted more than a few.
Surprised and very happy to see...
My wife and I enjoyed dinner and some Suds after hiking on Nov 11, 2014. Eight Point IPA is our new fav.
Dark abbey should be available year round! It ant kilt flasher are my 2 favorite beers
5 Stars for the fabulous name & great food. Not 5 stars for the blinding sun in our faces and the hairy eyeballs we got from staff when we wanted to switch seats. Otherwise I freakin' loved it.
The beers are excellent, and they have real craft beers not just 4 different pale ales like most "microbreweries".
Its an awsome place with even better beer and great food to go with it
Very clean and friendly atmosphere and establishment.
nice wide variety of their beers.
Plus made in Rockbridge Co. & Virginia !
I discovered two of my favorites, DB Vienna Lager and DB Schwartz Bier. Looking forward to the brewery visit soon.
Eight Point IPA is o e of the best beers that I have ever tasted. Destroys Bud, Coors, Heineken, Miller, etc. Will make it there to do a tour. Thank you for such an amazing IPA, you have a new fan here at Fort Lee!
While this organization has been staffed with some great people, protocol and loyalty are much to be desired. A blatant mishandling has caused a severance of a beautiful 4 year relationship between my son and the Backbone. My son IS the Backbone! Some are too blinded by their own stupidity to see that. To all of those that have been good to my son, and you know who you are...Thank you for your...
Just had some Dark Abby!
All other ales must bow to the greatness!
My favorite brews all come from this wonderful place. As I type I have a fridge full of kilt flasher, striped bass, gold leaf lager, Schwartz bier, and (obviously) Vienna lager. Great stuff, I feel so lucky to have such a fantastic brewery located driving distance from my hometown.
The staff and owner of Devils Backbone are worth the trip. It's just a huge bonus that the beer and food are superb. They showed myself and others hiking the Appalachian Trail this year great kindness and really want to help you enjoy your time off trail. Can't say enough good about this place. Hopefully I can return someday
About to freeze to death due to lack of heat. Food was burnt and nasty.
Very Good Beer and Food. A little pricey.... Usually just have a couple beers here, food is good, but a little pricey. Great atmosphere, especially when they have live music.
Great beer, amazing taste and first time trying it
Great beer, great food, and great atmosphere . . .
Great beer!
Just had the devils backbone american IPA... Good stuff
I love this place. Swuartz is so delicious ..!!!!!
Great food, great beer and great view. Best vacation ever!
Awesome place, great friendly people and one of the best craft breweries in the nation
4 star
Great place to visit for a craft brew.
Great food and beer. Never had a bad meal and the views are always nice.
Great place with great people. Keith sutton is awesome!
Good food and good micro-brewery!
Vienna Lager is my favorite!
One of the nicer looking breweries in Virginia. The place has the feel of a large hunting log cabin. Lots of taxidermy and paintings on the walls with brewing equipment scattered around as well. A very eclectic mix that works. The place feels huge and open and is just a big win in the atmosphere category. Their beers range from experimental and tasty seasonals to their normal staple beers- most...
Mmm, Beer...
Great experience tonight.
Awesome food and beer
Great selection of beer brewed on premises, plus really good food in a rustic setting
Pukka beer! :)
Awesome!
Great for apres skiing or a hearty dinner. They are one of the best microbreweries in Virgina.
Upon arrival in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, you find your way upon this upscaled lodge with a local feel. The beer list has their staple beers, as well as a few new ones they are trying. You can go for a goblet of your favorite higher gravity brew, or test a few different options. The downside to doing a beer flight is their limitations of two different types, and you can't mix and...
Atmosphere: awesome location. a nice big patio looking out at the blue ridge mountains. Inside is a mix between metal and stone with lots of outdoor and taxadermia paraphenilia. Sitting out on the patio on a warm spring day is pretty hard to beat. (to bad they have to go and ruin most of it with unnecessary boned puns)
Quality: I only got to try three of their beers, they varied quite a bit in...
Good, but often busy. The restaurant is an impressive structure with the decor of a hunting lodge. The service at DB can be a little slow around dinnertime when the bar starts getting backed up. The food is pretty good but not spectacular. It just might be the best food of your life after a long hike in the mountains though. George Washington National Forest is nearby so DB is a good place to...
I'm going to deviate from the norm here and say I wasn't all impressed with this place... found it to be the touristy/ mall brewery type built towards more mass consumerism than beer in the artistic craft sense. While their beers were ok nothing was great or exceptional. It is in a nice region of the state and the building is modern. Prices were ok as well as service. If in the area, I will...
Compared with the other breweries on 151, the food is better. On site Smoker. Good innovative Sunday brunch specials. The variety of beer selection here is greater than other local brewpubs. There are usually 8 rotating taps in addition to the standards brews. I go about once every three weeks and there is almost always a brand new brew that I've never tried. The atmosphere inside is that of a...
Very nice brewery with live music on weekends and great decor and food!
A group of 8 of us stopped at this brewery on the way home from Wintergreen. We were so excited we had all heard great things and we are huge brewery fans. This was by far the single WORST experience any of us had ever had at any restaurant before. Our food comes out and there is a STINK BUG …
What a great find!I attempted to go skiing at Wintergreen last weekend with some friends.Not realizing that the place would be so crowded, I got turned around at the entrance to Wintergreen as they were full and would not let anyone else onto the mountain.I drove back down the other side of the mountain only to …
I'm sorry if this comes as a shock but this place has some blaaaand beer.I'm serious I've had more than half of it and my wife and I both had to keep asking each other if we had burned our tongues somewhere.We knew it wasn't our tongues when our food came out, which was the high point.The food is good and worthy of 3.5 pts.Do not come here for the beer because you will be disappointed.
We came here with a big group after skiing at the nearby wintergreen resort and had a great time. The atmosphere was spectacular and service was good. Beer was good, we started sampling their beer even while on the mountain. Food was very good. For appetizers, get the pretzel and fried pickles. …
Great family enivironment. Excellent award winning brews. Affordable.
Great craft beers, and the food is excellent. Great for kids too. Caution note: can be crowded.
This is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner and some great beer.We had a tour of the brewing process while there this past Saturday.Lunch consisted of one of the biggest and best burgers ever made and a flight of all 15 beers available that day.It was a great tasting.Service was also terrific for us on this …
After a number of visits to Devil's Backbone, I've realized that while their beers are well made, they are not particularly distinctive and probably not aligned to my taste. They make a lot of obscure (to me) European lagers and each one I've tasted, I've thought, "Not bad, that's solid". That describes a lot of their packaged beer as well. I'll drink it but but not particularly excited to see...
The location is absolutely stunning. In the middle of the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, a lonely building stands along a giant gravel roundabout looking quite a bit like a ski lodge. And this makes sense, since the surrounding area is basically one large ski resort/vacation area. The interior is full of taxidermied animals – including several full body specimens – and high ceilings, large...
Pretty cool place that had indoor and outdoor seating options. Somewhat off the beaten path, a pretty nice building with pretty good scenery. The indoor features lots of stuffed animals and a pretty decent bar. They had some live music too, but we sat outside. The beer offerings were pretty good, but nothing exceptional, or worth making a special visit to try. Worth a stop if in the area, food...
Went up with a couple of buddies. Been dying to try it, but never got up to the Charlottesville area.
Atmosphere is really great. Its at the bottom of a mountain and is like an old ski lodge. Stuffed bears, turkeys, etc all over the dining room. We went on a Saturday, so it was pretty crowded, but not too shabby.
Quality of the beer was nothing like the quality of the surroundings. We had...
Went to the DB Outpost in Virginia on our way back from NJ. It's right off the interstate which is nice as it's easily accessible. I know the Outpost isn't a fair example of DB on a whole but I'll give it a shot
A: Nothing to write home about. It was a great stop to break up the horrific drive back to Florida though lol.
Q: They had the Schwartz and Eight Point IPA which were actually quite...
Interesting place from a decor perspective - lots of wood like a hunting lodge with several stuffed animals mounted on the walls. There were table seating areas both to the left and the right of the door through which you entered as well as some outdoor seating. The music in the background (live) was not too loud and conversation was still quite easy.
Beers were well poured in proper glassware...
This brewery and restaurant is a favorite for locals and visitors....highly recommended!
I would recommend skipping this one. I have visited many of the BRT options as well as breweries in numerous other states. We went here for a birthday celebration, we had a party of 12. My sister called ahead to reserve the table.
We drove out in 2 separate cars, half of us coming from charlottesville (40 min drive) and half coming from Richmond (almost 2 hour drive). I arrived with my...
The various beers are outstanding and sitting outside in the Summer is spectacular
Our experience this afternoon canceled out all good feelings we ever had about this place.
Our first bill had a $10 mistake in their favor. We sent the bill back, and one of us left the table. The second bill was correct, and was paid with a tip of about 18%. But our credit card was not returned to us. This has never happened to us before -- and we're pretty old.
When we called the General...
Unfortunately, this place is a tourist trap. It's right next to the Wintergreen resort and it seems to be the go-to place.
The atmosphere is actually pretty cool. It's got a lodge feel complete with associated decor. I remember the temperature being inconsistent throughout the bar. Service was average.
The quality was sub-par. The beer and food leave a lot to be desired. The beer was just...
Enjoyed a full flight & pretzel during recent beer trail tour. did not sample full menu. found service at the bar to be somewhat lacking. cute location & average brews.
Stop 3 on the BRT and final one before Asheville (we didn't pull in until 12:30AM). Dinner and drinks.
Atmosphere: A giant chalet, plenty of wood and glass. Inside animal heads dot the landscape. Outside a smoker stands watch. Plenty of tables to the right; the bar behind the primary waitstand. Brewing equipment behind that. Another beautiful locale.
Quality: Good food and okay beer. The...
Incredible!!!. My wife and I were staying at the Mark Addy In and this was a suggestion for dinner. We went and had Sheila's Smoked Turkey sandwich and Schwartz Beir. The sandwich was absolutely out of this world. The smoked turkey was so good you could small the hickory smoke when the sandwich arrived at out table. First bite and I was in heaven! The taste coupled with the amazing beer and we...
Another stop on our way into NC. This place is quite impressive from the outside...looks like something you would find in the Rockies! Inside, there is tons of seating with a long bar lining most of the back wall. We sat at the bar and noticed all of the taxidermy...like being in a mini Cabelas!
The offerings were not very impressive...almost everything was lager based, which goes with the...
A cleverly designed brewery, Devil's Backbone Brewing Co. is tucked right below the 3-Ridges and Wintergreen Resort in Roseland, VA. The atmosphere and decorum fits the brewery's location very well. The seating arrangement is good (I've never seen it Jam Packed). DBB is certainly a must visit on the "Brew Ridge Trail," but there are glaring flaws that need to be addressed. First off, the food...
After a lovely drive through the hills outside of Charlottesville, we arrived here around noon on a beautiful summer day. It looks rather large, with a hunting lodge feel, and there are hop vines growing behind the building.
We were seated immediately on the outdoor patio. One of the highlights of this place is the picturesque view of the mountains from the patio. A nice spot to relax and...
Stopped last night when traveling through--beer was a solid B+/A-. Really enjoyed the 4 Point Pale Ale, the seasonal Haze was quite refreshing on a 100+ degree day.
For food, the nachos were just okay (not diggin' the watery queso), pulled pork sammich and burger were very good. All of the sammich sides (chips, fries, sweet potato fries, and corn pudding) were fantastic--we had to try them...
Having been back a few more times, I'm raising my rating by a star. Service is spotty at the bar, but very good at the tables. The outdoor dining area clean, with fantastic views and a fireplace for…
This sad excuse for a restaurant is a joke located in the middle of Nowhere, Virginia. Miles and miles south of Charlottesville on some tiny state highway. Thing is... none of the staff there knows…
Beer and snowboarding? Two of my absolute favorite things to enjoy. When our group stopped in at Devil's Backbone during a recent ski trip at Wintergreen we encountered a local brewery/restaurant with…
My family & I have tried to like this place because it would be so convenient for us. But we just can't find anything on the menu to make it worth going back very often. When we do go, we go for 2…
If this place is showing on your Nearby Restaurants list you need to go here. Award winning beer and great food.

Wonderful location. Beautiful building. Great food.Danzig Porter, Kilt Flasher, Alpen Bock, and the 5 Apostles were all very good beers and I would happily drink them anytime.Their IPAs are disasters…
My visit was on 6/22 or 6/23. I was at the bar and it wasn't busy, but service was slow. The bar was hot and humid and full of flies. The stout was good, red was so so. I had the meatloaf which was…
This is a great stop if you are in the wintergreen area! We stopped by here after touring some of the local vineyards and had a great lunch. The restaurant/brewery has a very rustic, cabin like feel…
