Triple Crossing Beer - Downtown

This is my spirit bar. My perfect spot. Chill vibe, music isn't too loud, friendly staff, amazing pizza, and great beer. Falcon smash lived up to the hype. The West coast falcon smash was good too. The pizza was so good we got a second. I highly recommend this spot. I wish I lived in Richmond to keep coming back.

We tried 2 different lagers, a few ipa's and a porter; every beer was on point. Really high quality well made beer, very delicious. The guy working behind the bar was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't skip a beat despite pouring and preparing food for people. Overall, really impressed.

Great place. They have wonderful beers on tap, friendly and kind staff, and the decor is really nice. Love the mural, guys. Honorable mention to the pizza. Freaking delicious. I'm not a local but I make a point to stop by their locations whenever I'm in Richmond. They introduced me to hot honey and I'm a big fan.

Great beer, very friendly and attentive staff, good atmosphere.

Wanted a quick and easy bite that was nearby so i popped in for just a pizza to go. As I walked out there was a burning smell- turns out that was the pizza I just spent $14 on. I didn't expect much from bar pizza but definitely something better than charred all the way around except for one slice.

I am not a beer expert, this is all just my personal opinion. Be aware that a single taste is difficult to grasp, and later evaluations may be wrong due to the effects of previous drinking. (Blistered shishitos were a good choice.) Personal Recommandations: Lite Haus, West Coast Paranoid, Nectar & Knife, Falcon Smash The temperature inside is very cool (very satisfying part, but those who wear thin clothes in summer need to be careful). 4.3/5.0] Falcon Smash, IPA 7% light and smells good 4.0/5.0] Lite Haus, rice beer 3.6% beer 4.4/5.0] West Coast Paranoid, 5% Pale Ale good pale ale 3.5/5.0] Element, 5% Golden Ale I don't know what the heaviness is Soft and chewy scent 4.6/5.0] Nectar & Knife, IPA Imperial 8% BEST, the alcohol content is high compared to other beers, but it is so delicious and the harmony of deep flavor and smokeyness creates a beautiful balance. Swallowing the throat is also very soft, so it may feel a little greasy. 4.1/5.0] Last Broadcast, IPA Imperial 8% A little more greasy than nectar, less refined feeling. 2.0/5.0] Under the thames, Bitter 4.5% ABV I don't know why, but it tastes like tap water. 4.2/5.0] North Park, Pale Ale 5% Just pale ale, flavored removed version of nectar

Incredible beers, especially the hazy IPA’s. I go to Massachusetts and Vermont every summer, and the these beers hold their own. Great service and atmosphere as well. Favorite brewery in RVA.

Got to try their double imperial IPA's! So tasty. I went for the White Pony (hoping it was inspired by the Deftones) and the Valhalla. Both were fantastic! Beautiful location too!

I visited Triple Crossing on a trip to Richmond as it was a relatively short walk from my hotel downtown. The brewery is in an old brick building, which adds character and serves as a welcome change from the modern breweries in Scott's Addition. They also have a few TVs over the bar which was nice to catch a game or gaze at when you're not indulging in your beer. My bartender was great and even mentioned the happy hour specials without my asking. He was very attentive and guided me to a couple of beers that were exactly what I was looking for. I ended up leaving with a four-pack of Double Falcon, which is an amazing hazy double IPA. I enjoyed my first visit to Triple Crossing and I'm looking forward to trying more of their delicious beers on my next trip to Richmond.

We were in town for a few days checking out the area and hitting some breweries. We had read good things about Triple Crossing. Yet it was one beer on their draft list that made us come. Less Than Alone. A barrel aged big stout. It was boozy, thick and crazy flavorful. I could have sat there and drank it all day, which of course would be a bad idea. This beer may just have been the best of our trip. It was memorable. Lucky for us they had bottles so we were able to bring some home. The brewery opened at noon which was nice because we were able to stop in before doing some exploring. They had parking right there. The bartender was nice and even recommended some spots for us to check out while we were in town. The brewery had a cool look and a nice outdoor space. They also had some great merch for sale. We just sat at the bar and the place was pretty empty but it had just opened. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. I know we will be back, especially if there is a big stout (or even a barleywine) on draft.

A quick pit-stop, as part of a long road trip, Triple Crossing was a great find! wish we lived closer to visit often. Easy street meter pay parking in the surrounding area-we arrived on a weekday morning and as expected were the only people in the bar. This was a fantastic opportunity to chat with the bartender, learning about the variety of brews & sampling before deciding. The service was fantastic- we opted for: Mosaic Triangles 3star dank smooth, heavier hop profile & DDH Clever Girl 4star smooth hop dryness, with juicer undertones But also tried: West Coast Nectar & Knife 5star hopsplsion of flavor; Tropical Falcon 2star wasn't keen on the tropical backend- maybe wasn't the fruit for me- weird profile; & Falcon Smash 3.5star dank piney hops Once selected, we enjoyed the ambiance of their outdoor space, taking in sun on a beautiful enclosed deck-could definitely envision enjoying an evening in the space, drinking more than one selection. (noting: funny reading other reviews how many people visit the brewery passing through and similarly wish they lived closer to visit longer&again)

We had a surprise birthday party outside for my brother in law here! Great beer choices and food selection. The pizza & fries were yummy --only downside was we got it to go and it took 45 minutes to get our order. Our waitress was nice and apologized for the long wait. Great atmosphere and loved the fireplaces outside since it was a chilly night.

This is a cool spot. I came here yesterday to kill some time and enjoyed the experience. The service was great and the beer was solid. The Falcon Smash was good and the Double Falcon was even better if you like DIPA's. It also has a rating of 4.37 on UnTappd which puts it at a level of such great beers that Tree House and Trillium put out.

First class beer, friendly bartenders and the Pretzel was delicious. Simple pub-esque atmosphere with an uncovered deck/patio outside for breathability. Asked a question, ended up meeting one of the owners (also named Scott!) who gave me a rundown of all the beers in the to-go cooler. Loved it- will def be back when visiting Richmond again!

It is a Richmond Va.'s local Craft Brewery, we ordered draft beer, pizza and had a good company with our old school chums. I wound be back when I'm in the area in the near future.

Quality brewery with friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and a cool outdoor deck. The bartender was friendly and he pointed us in the direction of different beers to start with. We ended up spending most of the afternoon on their deck enjoying the sun and some quality beer. I do wish they had more of a variety of beer, but that's just my preference. They have quite a few IPA variations, a couple stouts, a few lagers, and a couple others. They don't seem to cover all the bases of different options, but what they do create is pretty good.

Street parking nearby and a somewhat decent sized brewhouse. They don't do flights but do two 4 oz pours at a time. I ordered the Paranoid Pale Ale and the Brewers' Selection Imperial Stout Aged in Calvados Barrels. The Stout smelled heavy but really good. There's a sweetness to it and would pair well with food. Great sipping beer. The 4 oz pour was perfect I my opinion. The Paranoid smelled hoppier than it was and was actually pretty light. Easy to drink and really refreshing. Cool spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Easygoing staff.

They were so nice about us being our dog, even brought him his own water bowl. Hot honey pizza was good, only wished the crust was more crispy so that the bottom is less soggy. Good spacious place.

Love Triple Crossing! Their beer is always solid and as an IPA girl, they always have a great selection. The downtown and Fulton location have different vibes in the best way because each offers a slightly different experience. The downtown location offers personal sized pizzas. I think they're frozen but for a frozen pizza, it's really good! We got the sausage pizza and I liked that it was crumbled sausage instead of sausage links.

Pretty good, not bad. Beer is different, but in a good way. Very rich tasting. I had the Summer Jetlag which is a barleywine, so it's very strong standing at a high 12% ABV. I felt like I was drinking scotch even though it tasted like toasted coconut, but it's actually beer that's been aged in maple brandy barrels. I'm more of a wheat beer person but this was a new experience that's was good but I probably wouldn't get again but I definitely recommend people to try!

In Monroe Ward is a small brewery, the second location of Triple Crossing Beer. The indoor space is medium sized with a bright mural painted over two restrooms. The bar is in the back with a friendly bartender. They have a small outdoor patio with a center long table good for drinks. There are outlets on the patio for phone charging. The vibe is cool and the area fun! However, we didn't love our beer. I prefer sweeter and more sour drinks and they didn't have a sour ale or anything like it. My kolsch wasn't great. My wife and housemate love IPAs. They tasted all of theirs and didn't love any.

In town for a long weekend, this was the first place we stumbled on after leaving the airport and very happy we did. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The beer selection was great and so was the food. If we lived here, we would be here all the time. Triple Crossing Beer has got a good thing going on!

Beer is good but the service was bad. We went to the bar to order and were told it was table service only today. We went to our table. Waited, waited. A group walked in and sat at the table behind ours. Server walked right by us and almost immediately takes orders from that table. We kept waiting. A group of 6 walked in and sat near us. Served immediately. Had to finally go ask for service after about 20 minutes of that.

I feel like if someone described the idea of a brewery to me and told me to make it from scratch, this is what I would get. Hoppy beer, some cool wall art and some board games and that is Triple Crossing. While it did not blow me away it was a nice setup, although a little small inside. Not particularly crowded when I was there, empty enough that you could bring in a game and play if you'd like. They did offer half pours of beer which was a good as it allowed me to try multiple things without committing to a full pour. I can see why some people like this place but there are a lot of other breweries I would choose before coming back here.

The shishito peppers are my favorite part of this brewery. What a healthy, unique snack to find at one! The beer is pretty good even if they don't have sours. I like sitting outside on the patio when I visit.

My preferred location over Fulton for it's more intimate and cozy space. For me TCB easily makes the best hoppy beers (pales, ipa, dipa) and lagers in Richmond, with their stouts growing stronger. Excellent beer, friendly staff, and a cool downtown spot.

Friendly service and kick ass beer. My favorite brewery in Richmond. We had the Falcon Smart, Citra Triangles and Nelson something or another. Pizza was just okay, but it's not the reason we went there, so not docking any stars for that. Can't wait to return!

beer and music 5 stars. server's arrogance and condescension 0 stars. when questioning a beer that is almost have foam I was curtly informed that 'all of our beers are properly poured', by the person that just poured it. makes a great picture, but not a great value.

This location is tucked away on a busy corner Downtown. The location is much smaller than it's sister location. However what it lacks in space it makes up for in charm and service. The employees really love what they do and are there to help. This place has a really cute outdoor patio with lights which will be a fun spot to hang out in come summer time. The signature brew "Falcon Smash" is so good. It's got the perfect blend of hops and citrus plus they sell it as a growler!!

Triple Crossing is one of Richmond's many great options if you're looking for a relaxed, casual atmosphere to enjoy some good beer. My favorites currently are the Quiet Storm and the Knife and Nettle. Located downtown in an older brick building resembling a warehouse, the inside of the brewery is relatively simple. There are exposed wooden beams on the ceiling, long communal tables with bar-height chairs, and a bar with tv screens. There's an electronic menu above the bar listing the available brews, and a chalkboard with that day's taco offerings. I haven't tried the food yet, but it looks great. Possibly the best feature of this location is it's small outdoor patio. Your view mostly consists of a parking lot and I-95, but there's the right amount of shade and a breeze to keep your comfortable on a warm summer day. It's both children and dog friendly; families brought board games and the staff brought out bowls of water for dogs.

Not really much of an actual bar, open air so not the best to beat the heat, & no flights. Beers were pretty good but overshadowed by the rest of what this place is lacking.

Triple Crossing has a cool, relaxed vibe. It's situated downtown -- if you couldn't tell by the name -- and isn't far from Jackson Ward. My friend and I walked down from that neighborhood after putting our name in for an hour+ wait at a nearby restaurant. Triple Crossing was an ideal place to kill the time. We walked in midday and the interior was rather empty. This turned into a theme during our trip. It seems folks like to drink outside in Richmond. I like that! So we walked up to the bar and I noticed we were passed over several times. Maybe we didn't look like we were ready to order, but I found it kind of weird. A queue like some other local spots have might benefit them. It was probably the least welcome I felt during our Richmond brew hop, but they were pleasant enough once they spoke to us. I ordered a flight of: - Waxing Poetic (Berliner Weiss) - Saison Brett - Paranoid Aledroid (Pale) - Pride of Monroe (English Bitter) My local friend had warned me not to buy the berliner because he had a can of it to pass along the next day, but I didn't listen. I can never turn down a berliner...especially when the weather was gorgeous! I drank that thing in like two seconds. It was just so good! The other three were also top quality and I'd highly recommend them all. I rated each between 3.75-4.25 on Untappd. My friend struggled a bit with a porter -- probably due to the heat. Their deck gets direct sunlight. Overall I see why people like this place. I'd return!

Fantastic selection of 5 IPA recipes plus 2 DIPAs, which I've never seen at a brewery. Even better, they were all above average, with one of them much better. By now you've realized that I tried them all. Fortunately, they had 4-5 oz. tasters for most of them, with a taster costing $2-3. After logging each one in UnTappd (and seeing my UnTappd avatar pop up on the LCD screen hosting the menu a few minutes later), I decided to get a pint of my favorite (Fourth Wall IPA). The building is unobtrusive, located across from a big, modern apartment building. The closest available street-side parking was a few blocks away, which I would guess was due to the apartment building as there were few customers when I walked in about 8 on a Thursday. However, there was a steady flow of new customers as I sat at the bar sipping each of my beers. Richmond used to be the sole place in the U.S. where three primary rail lines crossed; hence, Triple Crossing. Plus, there are 3 founders.

I have come in several times and love their beers! Favorites at the moment: 1) Salinity Passionfruit - a delicious gose, beautiful color, well balanced sourness. 2) Falcon Smash- IPA, American, double dry hopped. Its delicious never fail. 3) Nectar and Knife - imperial DIPA, hop forward, slight sweetness. Why aren't you drinking this yet?

Really liked this brewery. Every beer I tried I thoroughly enjoyed. The place is small and kinda dark so felt like a good place for a winter day. A good little patio to sit out on too.

Low-key spot with good vibes and friendly staff. They were very good about social distancing and sanitizing tables, etc. Right now there are only about 6 or 7 4-top tables inside, and a couple bar seats. Lots of cool merch too!

Enjoyed the atmosphere! Bartenders were really nice. Outdoor seating was comfortable. Beers were great, especially the IPA.

I'd say 3.5 stars, but will push them up to 4 stars because it was convenient and had a good vibe. If I loved IPAs - the brew they specialize in - I probably would have rated them higher. I didn't dislike anything, but neither did I find anything that fit my palate. That didn't stop me from finishing my samples, though. Unlike the DC area (where I hail from), Richmond breweries don't seem entirely stuck in worn out industrial areas. Triple Crossing was walking distance of my hotel, which made it an easy pick. When I walked in, they had live music, which livened things up. I tried a flight of 6 beers, but the only one I sortra liked was the Russian Imperial Ale; interesting malty finish. The Seasonal Shift wasn't bad either.

Nectar & knife double IPA is one of the best ever! Great place for kids to hang with mom and dad. The grilled cheese keeps EM happy. Don't miss it if you have the opportunity. NW hops, great craft selections.

Delicious beer and a cute venue - what more can you ask for? The outdoor space is large with lights at night. The inside is cozy with pretty wall art and a brewery feel. I tried the Falcon smash and the Down the Line. If you don't like IPAs, I wouldn't necessarily recommend Triple crossing now. Maybe there will be a different selection in the summer.

One if not the best beer/brewery in Richmond Virginia. Love this place and love the clam nest of the atmosphere

Really good beer, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable pricing, and the best place around if you find yourself downtown. There's not much to dislike about Triple Crossing except the food, which is significantly better at their other location. Still, I ended up going to Triple Crossing three times in one week, which is a lot given how many other breweries are in RVA. Definitely recommended.

We decided to stop near Richmond, VA on our trip up north to PA. There were a few breweries we wanted to check out and Triple Crossing was one of them. Although we were not familiar with the general area, it seems to be in a pretty nice part of town. It is located on a side street that offers street parking and two parking lots behind and beside the establishment. We were there on a Saturday afternoon; so, it was a little busy and we had to wait for someone to leave to grab a parking spot. The brewery itself is very modern/industrial. They have outdoor seating on a deck with high top tables and chairs. There is also plenty of room if you're coming with a larger group. It's perfect for when you're looking for an outside location to hang on a nice day. For my fellow pet owners: they are pet friendly! This was awesome as we always travel with our pup and were able to have her with us while we grabbed a beer. Now to the beers! We ordered the Waxing Poetic (passionfruit sour) and Enigma DDH. The sour was on the lighter side - a bit less tart and fruity than I prefer for the style. Nonetheless, both were pretty tasty and we even got a crowler of the Falcon Smash to go. I'm sure we'll be stopping back next time we're in the area!

Great service, location, building and beer! Went with a group and had a blast. Go in the evening and sit outside. Falcon smash!!

Stopped on our way to NC. Was very pleased with the beer and service and that fact they are doing their best to keep everyone safe.

Great little brewery, the vibe is chill, the beer is good, although they are heavy in IPAs which are my least favorite type, they do have a few other options!

I've been here a couple of times now, and I really enjoyed every trip. They have a large selection of their own beers, the staff is friendly, and it has a really low-key feel to it. What put it over the top is how accommodating they are. I wanted a taste of each of the three imperial IPAs. he gave each small sample to me in a full size glass and didn't bat an eye at the request. he was genuinely curious which one I liked the most and why. while I was sitting, a bartender came out and offered to take a photo of a group next to me when she saw them take out the camera. They are super friendly. They love their craft, they do an awesome job, and I will be back.

I went to triple crossing for the first time to check out their beer selection . Didn't make it past purchasing one beer. There atmosphere was very unwelcoming . I saw on their reviews something about a mimosa so i asked the man at the counter and he replied "No. This is a brewery."Ardent is a brewery and now they sale wine, so it's not unreasonable for me to think they might sale more than beer during this weird time. I was unaware . I was just checking. If you're going to be rude , work in the back house not the front. I also asked how their pizza was made because a kitchen wasn't visible and I didn't see a brick oven anywhere obvious like trapezium. And he said " in an oven". Customer service is important . I'm sorry I wasted my coins on this establishment.

This is easily my favorite brewery in Richmond. Intimate atmosphere compared to Hardywood, but with several TVs and a larger projector for major events. Most importantly, the beer is the bomb. I first came here when they hosted a marathon-watching party for the Olympic Trials. That was soooo cool! They played the race on the big projector screen and dozens of runners watched in awe over beer and snacks. I came again yesterday and was very pleased to see that they again had the Falcon Smash IPA, which is dry but not overly bitter with very mild citrus flavors from the hops. I also had the Clever Girl IPA which is incredibly refreshing and easy to drink. LOVE the beer, really great service and super cool vibes.

Beer was good. The space was great. I really enjoyed the outdoor patio. I especially enjoyed the sour beers they had on tap.

A friend and I were passing through Richmond and decided to stop in and grab a crowler of their Falcon Smash. We found parking near the brewery in a parking lot behind their establishment. Walking up through the back door, I could see it was a nice hang out area with a large deck to enjoy the great weather that day. Entering the brewery was almost like any other small brewery I've been to over the years. As I was looking at the menu of what was available, the staff working there very pleasantly asked if I needed any help with anything. I decided to ask for a crowler of their flagship IPA Falcon Smash. I ordered two crowlers as I was grabbing one for a friend. The service was very quick and friendly. Fairly priced considering it was in a 32oz oil can. If I return to Richmond I would like to spend a couple hours in here enjoying what libations they have to offer. Overall it was a great experience even just to pick something up. My friend and I tried the Falcon Smash later in the evening and it was very good. I would gladly return to Triple Crossing.

Just WOW !!! Moving beers and living in New Jersey I am really fond of real craft beers where creativity is in used and not only the classic standard beers. Definitely triple crossing beer goes many steps further, a line up of more than 5 IPAs , lager , stout and reaching a level of creativity not common. The place on top is stunning and the owners really welcome . A real good breweries, one of not so many. Well done guys !

I went to Triple Crossing while exploring the craft beer scene in Richmond, VA on 8/18/18. Although none of the "flavors" in their beers stood out to me, they have mastered the IPA style. Due to the fact, that their downtown location is very close to the VCU campus; their location seems to attract a wide range of ages from the newly minted 21 year olds to the please ask to see my ID year olds. I never felt uncomfortable and the bartenders never ignored me. If I had one compliant is that the Triple Crossing does not offer a flight but rather half pours. I go to craft breweries to try different beers and the half pour concept makes this a little more difficult. However Triple Crossing's price of their half pours were very reasonable making the concept easier to swallow. In a nutshell if you're an IPA drinker don't skip checking out Triple Crossing.

August 2018. Three out of five. We stopped here during a visit to the city of Richmond. The beers we tasted we're all reasonably well done but didn't really fit my palate. They seem mainly focused on IPAs which makes sense given the Market's demand for them. The only problem is I'm not much of an IPA fan. But they did seem to be fairly well done IPAs. If you do enjoy ipas this will be a great stop for you and probably worth a four out of five.

The Beer: All of the beers served here are great. In fact I would say that this is my favorite Richmond brewery beer-wise. Each beer is like a delicious caricature of a beer, but in the best possible way. For example the Falcon Punch IPA is strong, bitter, tangy, floral, funky, etc, basically everything you would expect or want in an IPA. The bourbon barrel porter is dark, murky, sweet, and of course bourbony and everything you would want from a bourbon barrel porter. And the rest of the beers are similarly satisfying in a quintessential sort of way. The Atmosphere: Apart from the great beer, this place really stands apart as a nice place to grab a drink. It has all of the features that you would expect to enjoy from a micro brewery. It has an interior that is simultaneously roomy and cozy with a cool view of all of the brewing equipment. There is a pleasant relaxed porch with a modest view and the the staff is as knowledgeable and as friendly any I have encountered in Richmond. Self service cups of water are another small touch that I appreciate. I have on more than one occasion been wanting for liquid refreshment at a busy understaffed establishment and wished that I could grab my own glass of water. They also have a large digital display of the drinks on tap. A chalk board listing drink and/or food specials is something that I generally look for in a bar/resultant as a sign of a quality establishment as it lends itself well to a specialized and dynamic menu. But at triple crossing the digital board serves this role at an even higher level as it allows even more pertinent information to be displayed than you see on the normal chalk board (ABV, IBU, etc). The food situation here also combines some aspects that are par for the course at breweries and some that are completely novel. As is typical with breweries there is no prepared food. But unlike some other places, triple C not only allows you to bring in outside food, the flat out encourage it. In fact they even have food menus that consists of the names, numbers, descriptions, and average delivery times of local food delivery services. They have also recently arranged to have the cultured swine come and sell some of Richmond's best pork in the early evenings. They also offer games to patrons which have expanded from standard board games to included group events such as Super Smash Brothers tournaments. They also recently added a cooler with bottles of some of their most popular beers. And most recently they added to their menu two of probably the most popular non alcoholic beverages right now, Kombucha and Cold Brewed Coffee. I have tried neither here, but I am super excited about both! TLDR: I know that this is a long review, but seriously, every time I go to triple crossing there is something new and every-time it deepens my appreciation for what is truly one of Richmond's best gems. If you like beer, if you don't like beer, give this place a whirl. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. Cheers!

Great local brewery that had lots of IPA options to try. We got two different ones, including the popular Falcon Smash, and enjoyed both. The tasting room was crowded, oddly with lots of children, and many groups playing board games, so on a busy weekend you may not get a seat. The beer was good and the service friendly.

A small "hometown" brewery with a great vibe. Triple Crossing had some fantastic IPA's and Berliner Weisse craft beers. The other selection of beers was excellent. There is outdoor seating and large open communal area inside. The bartender was very friendly and helpful with her beer descriptions. All of the beers we tried are great tasting and perfect for a stop-by. It is not far from The Jefferson and very close to VCU.

Tried the Demon Days (amber) and it was pretty good. Cool little spot in a "secret," unexpected location, which I like. Cool hideout. Nice little patio. Laid back atmosphere. No pretentiousness at this brewery. Come as you are and get great service.
