A laid-back Charlottesville taproom where the beer program holds its own alongside a full kitchen turning out Nashville chicken sandwiches, honey badger burgers, and a mango beer worth seeking out. Happy hour knocks $2 off beers, wine, and appetizers, and weekday kids' meals run $5 with ice cream included, a practical detail that makes it a reasonable stop near UVA. The space is roomy enough to absorb large groups, with a park adjacent for families.

Stopped by Three Notch’d Brewing Company and it instantly felt like one of those places you’re glad you found. Super laid-back vibe, plenty of space to hang out, and just an easy spot to relax whether you’re there for a quick beer or staying awhile.
The beer lineup is solid across the board — there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into lighter, easy-drinking stuff or want something with a little more punch. Everything we tried was fresh and well done, no gimmicks, just good beer. The food was also better than expected for a brewery — not just an afterthought, but actually worth ordering.
Staff were friendly and chill, happy to make recommendations without being pushy, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming without feeling crowded or loud. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a casual afternoon stop as it does for an evening hang with friends.
If you’re in Charlottesville and want good beer, good food, and a relaxed, no-stress environment, Three Notch’d is an easy win. Definitely a spot I’d go back to.

Been here a couple times and have enjoyed both experiences. This past time me and my wife came for dinner and got the pretzel bites, the Nashville chicken sandwich, and the honey badger burger. The pretzel bites were pretty good, a little different than we were used to but not bad. The fries were very good and they gave a lot of them. The sandwiches we agreed were both good but not mind-blowing. The inside area has plenty of seating and we really like the vibes. The happy hour deal was $2 off beer/wine and appetizers and we took advantage of that. Would recommend getting a beer or a meal here if you’re in town
