Always a good time at Ocelot. If you've not been in a while, stop in again to check their selection out!Their beer selection is constantly changing, with lots of seasonal releases or new takes on styles. From English styles, to super hoppy IPAs, or crisp clean lagers, there's going to be something on draft you'll like.Pinball in the back room is awesome, and they've got a variety of food trucks during certain days.

Man this place has made huuuuuuuge leaps from when it opened. Just stopped by for the first time in years and I'm disappointed I didn't come by sooner.Everything I had was so good, like across the board the quality and clarity was there. The dark Czech and Dark English Mild were both so good (just wish the English bitter had still been available). The staff, especially Brandon, was super friendly.Glad to see this brewery make a name for itself in the local scene and it was cool to see how many collabs they had available too, great sign that a brewery is doing well for itself. Definitely one of the best options in NoVa.

I hear their canning crew is the best. Yachty is the best lager in Virginia.

So let me tell y’all bout this place. The beer… won’t lie… pretty good. But child… there is no dishwasher behind the bar. They are using 3 sinks to wash dishes. When I say wash I mean dunk them into sanitized water and clean water. My issue is your hands aren’t clean friend. More than likely that water ain’t hot nor clean cause you don’t change it frequently. And things like lipstick don’t just come off with dunking even if you have the rubber pieces which supposedly scrub inside and outside. Hot water sanitizes sweety. Very uncomfortable experience. I’ll be back when y’all get a dishwasher love. Never seen this before.

I've come here many times, and I do like their beers. In fact, probably some of the best beers in Northern Virginia. However, coming to visit as a sports fan, it's not great. This is coming from a West Virginia alum/fan - which is what this brewery apparently affiliates with. Came here tonight (11/11/23) to cheer on my team at a place that would seem like a great place to do so, but was spoiled late in the game - not by the outcome of the game - but by either a staff member or friend of the staff mocking us - calling us rednecks (ironic since we played OU), sarcastically singing Country Roads, and mouthing other obsenities.If it's gonna be like that then fine. I'll go to Commonwealth (just opened) or Other Half which is further away but at least I won't get hassled and frankly their beers are better.

Beer is excellent, atmosphere is on point and chill. Ownership shines and bartenders are friendly and helpful! Love this place.

A great spot to visit tucked into a quiet area. I had the Yachtside Party Dweller Lager and the Fugitive Rooms Pilsner. Both had good body on the palate but also a lower ABV allowing you to have more than one and not feel tipsy. They bring in food trucks. They also have a game room with lots of pinball machines, an ATM, and a change machine making this place fun for all types.

Psychadelic beer spot. Lots of IPAs on tap as of this writing - all good. Variety of nice pinball machines. A fun time!

This brewery was awesome! Made me want to move nearby. It’s a great place to hang out with a fun, yet chill vibe. The decor is Grateful Dead and Alice in Wonderland. Pinball machine room to have fun in and a large space with long wooden tables to relax. There is a small outside deck with picnic tables and there was a food truck. I had an Unguided Particles IPA and it was solid beer. I loved it! I will definitely return for the great beer.
