Held an event here. Warren was great in providing recommendations and ensuring a great set up, and the bartender, Gina, was absolutely phenomenal in service and interacting with friends and family. Food was also delicious!

Mostly outdoor bar with make shift roofs and walls. Great atmosphere. Good location, near metro stops.

I was here in the rain and stayed dry. Good place to meet up with friends and coworkers and hang out.

The sliders are pretty tasty and will generally fill an adult human.

For the price and the service, the brig is a perfect place to hang with friends and day drink.

We spent Sunday afternoon sampling currywurst, a Bavarian pretzel with a nose-hair tingling mustard, and some loaded fries.
We coupled this with several beers — from wheaty ones to fruity— not a bad one in the bunch. The radler was pretty refreshing on a hot sticky day as well.

Perfect laid-back affair with lightning quick service.

QR code menu, pretzel, and cheese sticks were good. Great beer. There are plenty of tv's to watch sporting events

Met our oldest daughter and fiance for a visit and pre dinner snacks as we were passing through moving our youngest from NYC to VA Beach for a new job, partly bc it's pet friendly and we had our dog with us. They love this place and I can see why. Great atmosphere!! So fun

This place sucks. I hate that you can only use a QR code to order and the prices and mandatory tips are too high.

Great indoor/outdoor bar to catch sports games. Friendly staff and exceptionally quick service.

Great for post work get together. Quick orders online allowed for never having to flag down a server and easy paying. Awesome outside seating reminded me of a true German beer garden!

This place is not for black people. We were kicked out of this establishment by the so called general manager over a seat. They even called the police to have us escorted. This was my 1st and last time at this establishment. A lawsuit will be filed.

It’s unfortunate to have to leave this review because I like the concept and biergartens in general tend to be a great vibe.

However, tonight I had one of the most condescending and disrespectful experiences of my life as a customer (no exaggeration) with the manager on duty (the GM was apparently out of the country, “several time zones away.” I was there for an alumni Oktoberfest event, and I was socializing with them for a while before going up to the bar to order a beer. I checked in on Yelp and asked if I could redeem the 15% check-in offer, and I never could have predicted that simply trying to place an order with an offer that the business’s active Yelp page is promoting would lead to being verbally harassed and yelled at condescendingly by the manager on duty, who was not aware of the Yelp check-in offer but offered no solutions Ans instead went the route of blaming the customer and taking her frustration (from something else perhaps?) out on me, an eager-to-order customer who didn’t want any trouble, but was instead lectured rudely about how little I know about how the F&B industry works, despite having worked at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and very much being knowledgeable about the field. After being shouted at several times for no reason, I swallowed my pride and left, and I will certainly never return, which is a shame because this all could have been avoided by simply honoring the 15% off offer that The Brig had on their business page.

I like the setup but not the high prices, need to order from a QR code and mandatory 18% or higher tip.

Good selection of beer, their own beer in particular. You can order and pay online, which is handy. it seems like there are just outdoor seats. You can get some discount if you register on their website.

Great outdoor space for a good brew. The currywurst is the best!
