"At City-State Brewing Company, bringing a baby is as easy (and as encouraged) as bringing a date. The Edgewood tasting room doesn’t just stock excellent beers, there are also piles of games, chalk, and books for kids whose parents want to chill out for an afternoon, but don’t have a babysitter. Some people even throw kids’ birthday parties here. But don’t be fooled by the family-friendly nature. City-State is serious about their beers, like the juicy, floral Air & Space West Coast-style IPA and the chicory, smokey Kingman stout, which are inspired by DC’s culture and history.

The 13,000-square-foot microbrewery and taproom, almost six years in the making, comes from neighborhood resident and former congressional aide James Warner. The bar deals in D.C.-themed brews, such as the 8 Wards IPA, Equal Marriage hefeweizen, and the Trainspotter pub ale." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb

Clean, open space with large outdoor access on a deck overlooking the Metro Branch Trail. Beer is great and always a good variety available with good prices. They change up the food regularly as well with food trucks and pop-ups. The pinball, skeeball and claw machine games are the best part, after the outdoor access.

City-State Brewing Co. is an absolute gem in the local craft beer scene! The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere that sets the tone for a fantastic experience. The team here is super nice and genuinely cool, making you feel right at home from the start. The craft beers at City-State are nothing short of exceptional. They have an impressive variety, with something for every palate, from rich and robust stouts to crisp and refreshing IPAs. Each brew has its own unique twist, and it's clear that a lot of care and creativity goes into every batch. If you're a beer enthusiast, this place will quickly become a favorite.

Whether you're challenging your friends to a game of pinball or trying your hand at the classics, there's always something to keep you entertained between sips. And let's not forget the food—La Michoacana, the Mexican food truck parked outside, is a must-try. The flavors are authentic and bold, perfectly complementing the beers. Whether you're in the mood for tacos, quesadillas, or something else entirely, La Michoacana delivers with fresh ingredients and delicious options that will leave you coming back for more. Overall, City-State Brewing Co. is the perfect spot for a laid-back, fun-filled time with great craft beer, tasty food, and a genuinely cool vibe.

Cool hangout place that's extremely kid friendly. Tons of random toys for the little kids and arcade games (for 50cents or $1) for the "big kids". Food truck on site and Mess Hall around the corner (3 minute walk) with tons of options. Spacious. Covered large outdoor area so able to enjoy rain or shine. Beers are great! Hazy IPA was fantastic. The hard ice tea and lemonade combo was amazing! Parking feels a bit strange as you feel like your in the wrong spot. Don't listen. To the GPS. Takes you up to a school parking lot above the brewery. Must check out in the DC area

I really, really liked the beer here. I am NOT a beer drinker. I liked their stout and their German inspired beers too. I was surprised to like this place as much as I did. They had a good food truck there and lots of families and it was very chill. Cool spot.

Great brewery located right off the MBT with reasonably priced drinks and lots of options. Generally, I found the beer wasn't anything special, but the atmosphere and vibes make it a great place to meet up for friends for an early drink.

Great beer selection, with a few seltzers and non-alcoholic drinks, a few snacks, easy access on Metropolitan Branch Trail, outdoor and indoor seating. Great for families with toddler toys and arcade games. They usually have a food vendor if you want a meal. We love it here.

Really great location off the MBT and not far from the metro. The space is great and open with a nice outdoor space as well. Beers are good and the staff are friendly. They have arcade games in the back which is nice, but there tend to be a lot of families with kids so definitely good to know that's the vibe beforehand.

This place is located in the far corner of the city by the railway tracks. At night it’s very confusing to locate. However, the service here and the beer here is amazing. I do like their outdoor seating and they have games for the kids. Been here a few times and everytime had a great experience.
