Ocelot Brewing Company

Beers were solid, pinball machines well maintained, but the 'guy' behind the bar on 3/25/25 was an absolute jerk. When returning the signed receipt of which I gave over a 20% tip, I was scolded for crossing the imaginary line b/w bar & table ledge. I should've gotten his name, but he was a short, bald guy with a suspected Napoleon complex. Great beer, though. Cheers!

Fantastic brewery! Great beer, great food trucks! And PINBALL MACHINES..... lots of them!

Gluten reduced offerings, tons of to-go canned options and a seemingly unending and regular addition of new recipes. Go here for fantastic IPA variety, but don't sleep on the other brews, you won't be disappointed. Hate that you can't get it everywhere, but love that they stay small enough to protect quality.

As an avid IPA enthusiast, I can confidently say this spot has the absolute best IPA selection in the DMV! The atmosphere is unmatched, creating the perfect vibe every time, and the music? Always on point. This place is a must-visit for any craft beer lover!

Best beer in northern Virginia. Lots of space and dogs are allowed inside. Tons of pinball machines and there's usually a food truck on the weekends. Really good IPAs. Highly recommended.

Great IPA selection and sours. Good music. Great people

Staff is very nice and the pinball selection is CRAZY good

We found a lively taproom with great beer on a weekend afternoon at Ocelot Brewing. The taplist had many to choose from and a very good variety of styles. The service was professional and well-mannered. We enjoyed the festive vibe on the day we visited. A high school was having a reunion there in one part of the place and the rest was the typical brewery clientele. There were two beers that I feel compelled to point out, because they were so very good. The Witching Hour Märzen and the Helles Awaits Lager were both best in class anywhere. We want to come back and try more of their brews.

Great beer and super- friendly service.

Ok I actually liked the beer here and I along with colleagues used to go here 3-4 times a month. The service was usually ok. Last time we went here the guy serving beer at the bar counter ( not sure if he is the owner) was super rude and berated my colleagues saying that he was not our butler and that we needed bring all the empty glasses to him. Bear in mind at this time most of the tables were unoccupied and there were empty glasses on other tables as well.
We had no problems to bring in the empty glasses but there was no reason to be rude. On top of being rude this person did credit card fraud by adding tip that we did not add when we signed our bills. Be very careful when you visit this location as you may be subjected to credit card fraud.

This is a great little spot if you like low key breweries. They have a variety of ever changing beers and do a ton of collaborations. They have monthly concerts, food trucks usually 4-5 times a week, and vinyl days are awesome. The atmosphere is chill with dim lighting, friendly staff, and very positive vibes. The real gem to this place is the pinball room where they have 15+ pinball machines that rotate out quarterly. The games are managed by Out of time amusements who run a league on Mondays. Everything is well kept and maintained, well worth the trip if you are nearby.

lovely beer great music friendly staff and patrons...2 thumbs up

Great space

Amazing atmosphere! I love all the beers the music and ambience.
I appreciate them accepting parents with kids and dogs!
I personally don’t have small kids or dogs but I wish a place like this existed when I was raising my 16teen daughter.
Now I enjoy going to Ocelot drinking my beer watching mini people and doggies with their parents having a good time.

If y’all have a problem with kids in this environments why are y’all here?

I love the changing table full of newborn diapers in the ladies room!
The wall art is appreciated I enjoyed finding the paintings I saw a Barcelona flag there! Kiddos the the artist and also the owner!

Great selection of beers, including IPAs. Great happy hours. Great place to catch up with friends.
