Harpers Ferry Brewing

Nice place with great views and good selection of beer. Only negative I have is Trivia night.(Which was Thursday's when I went) The person running the trivia is WAY TOO LOUD. It's fine for the few people that seemed at all interested in trivia, but for everyone else, you couldn't even have a conversation over the mic/speaker. You can't even have a casual conversation over the volume of the speaker.

Great place! You can't beat the views, and the brews are very good. Great selection of drinks and the food was delicious. It is very clean and has plenty of space inside and out. Multiple covered areas and picnic tables to enjoy a drink while taking in the views and enjoying the live music. Lots of people and dogs around. Looks extremely busy from the parking lot, but not to worry. There is so much space around that you don't notice. Will definitely return!

WE LOVED HARPERS FERRY BREWING! Was it perhaps the best brewery we have ever been to!? I'm going to say yes. It was definitely the most SCENIC and BEAUTIFUL! WOWZA! I still dream about it. We drove roughly an hour from Frederick, MD to visit and it was worth the trip. It overlooks the river! It's on a hillside! If you can go in the fall, I would definitely do that. We got to see the fall foliage and drink craft beer! It seriously doesn't get better than that. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in the area!

A really nice place for a party! One little note— I was charged for a cone even though it was served in a cup—the cashier didn’t realize they were out of cones. I added a small tip for him to help ensure better service for other customers next time. update: they credited back the extra charge nice.

We ordered a veggie pizza and a pretzel. The pretzel had so much salt we had to take 90% of it off but after that the pretzel was good. Thr pizza, we ordered it with extra cheese but literally all we could taste was dough, how do toppings and cheese have zero flavor?? Very strange experience. But the view was breathtaking 😍

This brewery is very spacious and has great view. Service is good and the variety of beers is amazing. There are many food trucks and a pizza place on site.

You can't beat the view at this place! There is plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the river. I got a flight of beer, and enjoyed that as well, but the location steals the show for sure! I didn't try it, and I am slightly regreting it, but they have an ice cream flight! I had never seen anything like it.

Love this place! Good variety of beers, pizza is very good, views from backyard are stunning of river and hills and nature. Many fire pits and often have live music too.

Don't come hungry, be thirsty my friend. Their recipe for food doesn't include salt and paper. If you want S&P, BYO.

I'm sure you already know tons, so let me mention what you may not know. 1. A flight of beers (6) is $21. It's not a huge amount, but it helps to narrow down what you might like. 2. No low-carb options *at all* (if you care about these things). The only hard seltzer (mango) tastes nothing like mango and it is not low-carb. lol The only food available is carb-heavy -- pizzas, pretzels, etc. 3. Food truck food is more reasonably priced that the brewery -- chips and salsa for example is about $5 at the truck, but $9 at the brewery. Empanadas are really good, btw!! 4. You are *not* close to the water. Having said that, the views *are* beautiful. 5. The beers are.. quite delicious. It is a brewery and they got this spot on. My Dropzone (hard cider with pear juice) was yummy, and my date went back for the pumpkin ale after trying it on the flight. ''Tis the season, I suppose. (Each is $9). 6. Tons of seating spots, and the bar outside has a much shorter (if any!) line. They don't do flights, so they're perfect for when you know what you actually want. So glad we made the drive from Baltimore on this beautiful October weekend. Would have been 4 stars if the food trucks were more expensive

Beers & Views- a great idea, but just know you're paying for it! We stopped at the brewery after hiking Maryland Heights nearby and were very much looking forward to a nice cold brew as the reward- Initial impression was a bit meh- as parking was randomized chaos- they have large open fields available, but share lot space with the ecoadventures tours as well, which created a bit of a free for all- even finding a spot didn't reduce the anxiety, as walking through the parking lot felt like Frogger with impatient drivers Inside the brewery was massive, and on a Saturday very crowded. The one positive, they had ample staff bartenders available so our wait time was pretty short- and the friendly bartender was nice about taking our time to ask questions about brews & try samples- but oof- they don't have prices posted anywhere, and while they had reasonable tasty IPAS- it was a bit discouraging to discover our beers were 9$ each-I can't imagine what flights would be- at the higher price, with so many great brewery options in the area I'd opt for lower price points over chaotic parking and crowded view ah, yes I forgot to mention, they do offer ample seating- picnic tables, chairs, high tops, decks, and more- but it's a very well attended brewery, so we found ourselves sharing a table with other random patrons- not quite the date night hang out and relax vibe we expected- so yes, great view, but at a cost of price, parking, and crowdedness- nearby there are more spacious farms offering more intimacy at reasonable prices

Great atmosphere, great food options and really good service. We had pizza for our food choice but you could get anything from sandwiches to burgers to steamed crabs (they have a food truck with crabs, oysters, shrimp) to ice cream and popcorn amongst many other things. Their beer and cider choices were plentiful. I had a sweet cider that was delicious and perfect. My friend had a couple flights and then some dark beer, which was good for a taste but not my cup of tea. The views here were incredible and being that it was a nice cool day, the shade wasn't needed as much but it sure felt good in the bright sun. There was live music and also some TVs to watch the end of the Olympics as well as the Orioles game. This is a dog friendly brewery anywhere but inside. Highly recommend a visit here, they don't disappoint.

The ciders are very sweet and taste strong--I'm not much of a beer person but I've heard a lot of people raving about the beer quality here. It's also good to know that their ciders are equally well-made. There are two ordering stations along with food such as pretzels, ice cream, and they serve burgers at the truck outside. It also helps that the view is incredibly nice during the sunset. It made for a very relaxing late afternoon/early evening. It gets very crowded but the staff are efficient and quick. Love that they allow dogs in the back; while they are not allowed inside for an extended period of time, you can walk in the entrance out to the back with your pup.

My husband loves all of them!! Very good beer. Definitely better than the Abolitionist in Charles town, if you are choosing between the two. Also great views. And good cider!

This is actually our 2nd time visiting the 1st time was a few years ago, and it didn't disappoint. The parking area is huge so parking isn't a problem we went prime time on a Sunday. It was packed inside, but there is a TON of seating. We decided to get a flight. You get six 5oz pours for $22, which isn't a bad deal. It was a nice day, and we wanted to listen to the local musician, so we opted to sit outside under the covered patio. It's a nice area outside with a stunning view. They also do serve food that looked awesome however we didn't get anything to eat.

Amazing views! Lots of space with several seating options inside and outside. Great for groups and even families. Had a quick beer & a snack to take in the views. Beer was good and the Asiago Artichoke dip was delicious. BONUS points for reserved veteran parking up front!

This brewery is in an amazing location at the top of a hill that overlooks the river valley below. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and I especially liked the Adirondack chairs outdoors. They have a large parking lot that can fill up on the weekend. The beer selection has great diversity. I really enjoyed the Hefeweizen. They also have a pizza shop indoors and a food truck outside for hungry visitors. The pizza was tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it. I would highly recommend this location for groups of all sizes.

Decent selection of beers and seltzers. They also serve wine. Lots of staff working so you don't wait long to get a drink. There's also a bar outside. They have live music. Great view overlooking Harper's Ferry WV.

Had high hopes as this was what really enticed us to stay in Harper's Ferry. Overall pretty average in terms of the beer, although the campfire hoodie - which the bartender said was "horrible" - was actually pretty good. This same bartender also didn't take the time to check the age on my ID and almost didn't let me order before taking it a second time just to pass it to someone else to verify that didn't even work there. The location is the best part about this place but the same could be said regardless of who occupied the building.

No words can describe this place! It is such a hidden gem in Harpers Ferry. It is an excellent place to spend a nice day out with the kids or dogs. They are pet and dog-friendly so if you are looking for good family fun this is the spot. They have a wide range of beer selections. I am a cider person and they had over 6 ciders on tap which was great. They also serve food including pizza, wings and dips. They also have food trucks as well. They have a lot of seating from indoor to outdoor. The service is also excellent and the staff was super knowledgeable about the beer. If you are visiting Harpers Ferry for a hike definitely check this place out!

This brewery is amazing. It is huge with loads of outside space. The best part is the amazing view of the river outside. We brought our dog here who really enjoyed the vast outdoor space to run around and play while we sipped beer and enjoyed the view. The pizza was really good and was baked to order. The beer was also tasty, and they had a wide variety of flavors to choose from! Definitely come here if you get the chance!

Very good beer & pizza. The view is outstanding, and had great service. Couldn't ask for anything more.

OH MY GOD! I really forgot to take pics of the food and drink once I got outside. The view was SPECTACULAR. The set up they have allows for small parties and large. Indoor and out. They have picnic tables that are covered and uncovered. Fire pits with plenty of seating. They have two raised deck areas and private pergola coves. The indoor area is also well laid out with seating galore. They have a small section for merch, the brews counter, and a counter for food. They also have multiple bathrooms to accommodate for the size of the place. My friend was visiting from Germany so I decided to take him to see some views and have some brews. It's a quick hour trip from the greater Washington area. Kind of a hastle turning in and off the main road but it's worth it. We wound up ordering a dry pear cider and a veggie pizza. The pizza was larger than expected, so if it's two ppl, just be hungry. The cider was super crisp and sweet, not as dry as I expected and that was perfect. Honestly run here. Looks like it's amazing during the fall

This place is the perfect brewery , views are absolutely amazing staff are so nice and helpful the pizza delicious

Great location! This was a great stop after spending the day walking the famous Harpers ferry town. This place was packed so make sure you come with patience and ready to sit in or outside. I recommend checking out the beer selection before hand. If you come in as a team one order the pizza and one order the beer! If not order the pizza (if you want one) first it will take a while. Good service and a great location, lots of parking.

The pours, great, the food, subpar The chocolate mint stout is spot on and I'm really enjoying it. The pineapple cider was the second favorite. The artichoke Asiago dip is 6$ and the chips have to be bought separately. Am I going to eat the dip with a spoon? Include chips in the price people. The slice of cheese pizza for $5 was tiny. Tasted like papa John's. Kinda thinking why they should even have food here. More kids food that makes sense would be nice.

Visited here on a chilly spring afternoon. They have a large tap room with food such as wood-fired pizzas available as well. They have a good variety of beers on tap and lots of merch for sale. Outside is a nice fire pit and a viewing area to see the river. The place seems very dog-friendly. When I was there, they ran a bingo night in support of a cat rescue.

I had a great time here. There was SO much seating. We enjoyed sitting under the covered area near the outside bar listening to the live music. It's really a beautiful spot with views of the river. They had a huge variety of shirts and hats. Really good quality and design. The inside bar had multiple ordering stations with a person at each one ready to take your order. That was the most efficient ordering system I've seen at a brewery. Dogs aren't allowed inside so it's nice there is an outdoor bar. I was disappointed in the cheese pizza- it was $17 and was full of air bubbles. Outside, the foliage could be cut back significantly to have a better view of the river. My husband loves IPAS and was let down there was only one but he enjoyed the one he had. I enjoyed the Pale Ale and the Blonde. This is a great spot with so much seating, I will definitely be back when visiting Harpers Ferry.

I love the views, the atmosphere and the attentive bartenders. I told the bartender what I liked and he gave me the perfect beer. They offer beer, wine and hard ciders. There is limited food and there is also a food truck onsite. Go to the website to check out the views! This is an indoor / outdoor space. There is a view of the Potomac River from almost all sides. It's a great place for a before or after dinner drink, or to meet up and unwind with friends.

I am the first to tell you I don't really like beer, but since I was traveling with my beer loving friend I agreed to hang out at Harpers Ferry brewing after a day of hiking and I was very impressed. The spot is wayyy bigger than we anticipated! The parking lot has plenty of spaces and there is an abundance of outdoor seating scattered throughout the beautiful back area with great views. There is a mix of picnic tables, stools and Adirondack chairs in the grass and on various decks. First we grabbed our drinks at the large bar inside. I was pleased that there was a seltzer as well as a couple slushy seltzer options which looked refreshing on a hot July day! I landed on the regular seltzer while my friend got a beer and then we also split a pizza. The pizza was ready fairly quickly so we settled into some Adirondack chairs and enjoyed the view and ambience! It looked like they host events (trivia, music etc) on other days of the week (we visited on a Sunday) so it looks like a great gathering space. Even as a beer hater I would go back if I were in the area again and I would encourage others to visit!

Great place for large group. Food is not so bad, just overpriced. Beer is alright, tastes a bit flat. Staff seems to be somewhat friendly but not rude at all. Atmosphere was nice, it was hot inside so the should upped the AC. The view was amazing. I prob would go back on a cooler day only if I'm in town.

Fantastic beers and even better views. Great seating areas. If I lived closer I would be there all the time. Staff is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Such a great place!!!

I have been coming here since they opened several years ago. They have expanded the outside seating area tremendously. There is a decent amount of indoor seating. Unfortunately no bar seating but they recently redid the bar and it's bigger with a larger draft capacity. They always have a wide arrange of beers on tap including seltzers which my wife loves. They have a chocolate mint stout that is INCREDIBLE. The "4, 3, 2, 1 Saison", is also incredible. They have an in house kitchen including pretzels, pizza and wings. The bbq wings are huge, juicy, meaty and full of sauce. The pizza is also great. There's a large merch area as well which plenty of options of shirts to choose from. The service is quick and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through or local. It pairs well with an adventure center on the same property.

After tubing, we came back ready to relax (even more)... we were especially hungry, so the brewery felt like a perfect stop. It shares the parking lot with the Adventure Center, but it's on the opposite end -- it was also pretty crowded down there haha. So I managed to find a closer spot and I walked on it. I was intrigued by the space! There were plenty of high long tables to sit at, and the outside had both covered and uncovered seating -- though it was drizzling at this point, so the latter was less than desirable. In terms of ordering, there were big counters and big signs for ordering beer -- and the layout allowed for the line to flow quite smoothly. Now the food had quite a long line. You could buy things such as pizza, nachos and dips.... I was personally offended that one slice was $5. Not even Andy's and Wiseguy are that much -- it's definitely much more reasonable to get whole pizzas. I almost got one... but then someone ran to me and said there was a food truck outside with tacos... that was all I needed to know! I got some chicken ones and I was quite pleased. Great flavors, and there was some hot sauce to add. The Harpers Cherry cider was delightful with the tacos. All this to say, this was a great thing to have right next to whatever adventures are had at the Center. It's definitely worth a stop before you head home!

This place is a wonderful combination of good beer, good food, good service and amazing ambiance. I had the blonde ale which was perfect after trundling up and down some of the nearby trails in the morning. Then had the Mountain Juice, a hazy IPA. The blonde ale was crisp and refreshing. The hazy was citrusy with nice hop notes. Not too sweet, not too happy. Let's face it, everyone in the world makes a hazy. This one was much above average. I came back later that day for a crowler. I ordered a Chicken barbecue pizza for lunch. It was delicious. Will definitely be back. Note: I was here on a Tuesday afternoon and practically had the place to myself. I'm sure it's a different animal on the weekends. But the property is very large and I'm sure they can accommodate quite the crowd!

Wow. This is one of the most beautiful breweries I have ever been to. Cannot beat the view and the facilities. Stunning. Plus the beer is so dang good. Food menu is solid. Staff are friendly and efficient. The whole area is gorgeous. You can enjoy a day of hiking, rafting, and other outdoor adventures before heading on over. I wish I lived closer because I would be here every weekend. A memorable experience for sure.

Great food trucks. The beer selection is huge- gotta have some for every taste. Very popular and was at near capacity when we visited.

Location: 5/5 views are excellent, tons of outdoor space Beer: 3/5 just ok. Not bad, not amazing. They were out of one of the sours we wanted to try Price was 21 bucks for one flight (6 tasters). Would visit again if in the area.

If you're in Harpers Ferry or anywhere near it, you HAVE to stop by this amazing brewery. My boyfriend and I were in Harpers Ferry for the day. Once we checked out all the sites and the historic downtown we were starving and very thirsty. I knew I had wanted to try this brewery from seeing all the pictures online and I'm so happy I did. I was a little discouraged at first because the parking lot was super full and I thought the brewery was going to be impossible to get into. I was very wrong, being from New Jersey you just assume the worst lol. This place was definitely packed on a beautiful Saturday but still had tables open and not crowded. This is what I like about getting out of the tri state area, things aren't ever too crazy and still enjoyable. They had a great draft selection, my boyfriend loved the mountain juice and I ended up drinking the sweet cider which was fantastic. We found a table outside which was perfect to enjoy the views. They also had a live band which is super fun. I highly recommend walking around the whole perimeter of the brewery because the views are just more fantastic every step you take. They also had some small vendors set up everywhere which was really fun to look at and shop around. Onto the food - get the pretzel!!! We got the savory with beer cheese and it was absolutely delicious. Warm, toasted to perfection and the cheese dip was amazing. We also shared a pizza which was pretty good, definitely cheesy. Dipping the crust in the beer cheese also didn't hurt hahaha. They also had two bbq food trucks and ice cream. You can purchase hats, tshirts and more at their merchandise counter. What I also loved about this brewery is that the really have a ton of options. They had kombucha for anyone who doesn't drink and you can really just enjoy the day with some good food and spectacular breath taking views. Definitely make this a stop when you're here - you won't regret it. It was one of my favorite parts of the whole trip!

Fantastic views, large selection of beers with most of the ones I tried were good and the pizza was pretty decent as well. Fast service, beer and pizza with views it's a great spot.

This place is so gorgeous. Spectacular views of the forest and river!!! We loved their patio and how much seating they had available. There is also an extensive menu, which is great--this brewery definitely has a drink on tap for any palate. I loved their Hefeweizen. My only complaint is that everywhere we turned, there were crazy long lines: to order beer, to order food, at the outside bar... We visited on a busy weekend day but still weren't expecting quite that much of a wait for service.

Visited the Brewery on Friday with my Dad. It was excellent. Loved all the different flavors of beer they had. I especially liked the Chocolate Mint Stout (which didn't taste much like mint, but I was good with that). They also have some food in case you get the munchies while there. I loved the open environment of the place. I did not feel crowded at all. If it were a bit nicer out, we would have sat outside on the patio. The servers were very nice people as well. I highly recommend coming here for a beer or two.

Many people recommend Harpers Ferry brewery to us (not only not located on Harper Ferry, but actually in Virgina), telling us the view is great. And it absolutely worth a trip for just the view. High on the hill, the brewery overlooks the town as well as Potomac river. The interior is large, but it's the grounds, scattered with chairs facing the river, picnic tables, and a fire pit, that is the draw. I did not drink the beer, so I'm playing secretary for the beer part of the review. The bartender was relaxed but knowledgeable about the brewery's offerings. She asked my friend what she likes to help her determine what she'd like to put in her flight. They have a lot of hoppy beers, but a reasonable selection with other types. They have a window with some food options, I don't know if it changes but they had pizza while we were there. They also had ice cream, so I enjoyed that while my friend had her flight, and we both loved the view.

Come for the beer. Stay for the views! Amazing place that can hold a ton of people inside and out! Service was super swift and friendly! Didn't try the food, but it looks good!

This place is so cool! One of the best breweries I have been to, Harper's Ferry Brewing is never shy of brews and things to do. They also have pizzas and other snacks to go with your drink selections. The people bring it all together with their engaging and upbeat approach and overall charisma. The ambiance is exactly what you would imagine with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and great spaces both inside and out to enjoy your selections. This brewery makes sure to keep things interesting with trivia and events.

She had been wanting to go here for awhile so we finally did. Wow! What a cool place! Excellent views to enjoy while relaxing with a great tasting beer! Will definitely be back! Servers were quick and helpful!

Stopped by after floating the river to enjoy a beer and was really impressed with the view, speed of service and ability to keep people moving through the beer line even though it is was packed in the parking lot. Beer was really amazing too. I would definitely make a trip back out, just for the beer!

Best pizza, drinks, & atmosphere ever. Great views and great service from the kitchen crew and bartenders.

After touring walking and poking around Harper's Ferry, here's a good pit stop. That, or come back the next day for the zip lines, views, and beer. This brewery is a destination in itself. If you are just passing through, this brewery makes it easy on you with a case of ready to go crowlers ranging from pilsner to IPA, so there's something for everyone. And yes, there's also a huge fridge full of sodas for the kids, so yes, this appears to be an occupied-kid-friendly spot. I'm jealous of the locals with these views of the two two rivers, and their ability to bring back those sporty-looking growlers for refills. Must return when we can!

Certainly the view offered alone is a great reason to visit this brewery but add on quality craft beer and ciders as well as a great ambiance and you have a winner. There is plenty of parking even though it is shared with the adventure center. Leashed pets are welcome outdoors which has plenty of seating and tables.private venues can also be rented. There are typically food trucks on site so there are choices. The beers are very tasty and fairly priced... IPA's are my favorites. There are bars inside and out and service is fast and friendly. Worth the visit!

Came here with my girlfriend and my eight year old son. We sat outside in their gorgeous backyard area and had a pint. It's a beautiful space with plenty of Adirondack chairs and a huge fire pit. We then came inside and enjoyed a flight. Incredible quantity (18 different beers, two ciders and one hard seltzer on tap) and variety in their beers. Scottish ale, brown ale, barley wine, mint chocolate chip stout, berry sour, Hefeweizen... there truly is something for everyone on tap here. If you can't find something you like here, you don't belong at a brewery! If you get hungry they have a small selection of pizzas, wings, soft pretzels and other snacks at a separate window. Plenty of non alcoholic options too so easy for my son to find something he enjoys. It is pricey, though. Two pints, two flights, and three crowlers to go all came out to $100, not including the food and non alcoholic drinks we had. You get what you pay for I guess... the quality is worth it but just beware of the prices as it's easy to spend a lot here.

A fun, convenient option to grab a few beers if you're hiking or floating in the area. Harper's Ferry Brewing has plenty of outdoor seating options to choose from (the space itself is huge) and a pretty wide beer selection to choose from. The beers themselves aren't my favorite (aside from the sours), and the food options are pretty lacking, but it's still a great way to spend an afternoon outside.

Great spot! Honestly, we came for the view. We were referred here by our hotel's desk clerk. Our friends aren't beer people, but I love a good craft beer. They do a good job with the beer, plenty of variety and offerings. They do wine, which our friends appreciated. The pretzel and cheese was primo. The meatlovers pizza was tasty and worth talking about, but the pulled pork pizza was grossly lacking in the pulled pork department, a few pieces here and there on the pizza. The sauce on it was very good, but the anount of pork was disappointing. Overall, we had a blast, taking some cool pics on the lookout.

This place was great! Beers were delicious and the food was really good. We were there on a beautiful day so the view from the back picnic area was amazing!

I give the beer 5 stars, the food, yeah no. The wings??? How can you serve wings without a dippy sauce??? Nope no way. Get yourself some blue cheese or ranch, and you might have it!!

Atmosphere- 5- the grounds are nice and the view of the river and mountain is fantastic Beers- 5- large selection, ciders, hard seltzer and beers- hubs liked them all. Food- 2- pretty sure if you look up cluster$&*# in the dictionary, you'll see their food setup. Granted, we went on a gorgeous Saturday but wow, what a mess. 30 min in line to order, then another hour in line waiting for wings. You have no way of knowing what you're in for when you get in line- they don't call out names or numbers or use any text format whatsoever. The relatively young kids working in the kitchen we're running around, clearly overwhelmed, and it has to be stressful for them. Every minute I spent in line was a minute that I wasn't purchasing beer, which has got to be their cash cow. It seemed like an episode of kitchen rescue. When the wings finally arrived, they were cooked inside, but the skin was slimy. Overall- 3- at the risk of seeming like a Karen, we spoke to the manager who clearly knows the food service is a problem. They gave us our money back, so I bumped it up a star for making it right. So if you go on a weekend know what you're in for or bring your own food

Good beer and an amazing view of the river, what more could you ask for!? We didn't get to try their pizza but my husband said it looked "legit" and pizza is his favorite food.
