Chubby Squirrel Brewing Company

Chubby Squirrel is an intimate, community brewhouse that provides great beers, very good food, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're visiting friends. Kids and dogs welcome ... no, encouraged!

June 2025 update: Second visit to Chubby Squirrel and still love it. Burgers are great and beer options are pretty decent. The staff are friendly and great to converse with. We chatted about the current and future old school arcade machines. I'm addicted to the Star Trek TNG pinball. Definitely try their slushies....delicious. Thanks for a great night. We'll be back soon.
Do you like local craft beer, easygoing food options, and old school arcade games? If so, Chubby Squirrel is your jam! Came here with my husband on a random Thursday evening and had a great time. The beer is great, food a perfect accompaniment, and arcade games are awesome! I might have been addicted to the Star Trek TNG pinball machine...LOL. The Chubby Squirrel is family friendly, without detracting from the natural adult setting that is a brewery. The parents who brought their kids stayed engaged with them; so everything was optimal. Each evening, Chubby Squirrel has a special. It was burgers the night we were there. We ordered all the fixings and a side of fried cheese curds. I can't say enough about how great Chubby Squirrel is....the staff are friendly and attentive as well. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

Come for a fun, kind, intelligent, and intimate atmosphere!

Great little bewery in old town Fairfax. The owner is so so lovely and even roasted up a hotdog because her dog treats were chicken and my son has a chicken sensitivity. 10/10 people. Highly recommend coming here
Also every Christmas they host a needing family to make sure they have the gifts.
Good people. Good beer. Good environment

Very friendly staff, good beer, and a great burger.

Good beer and a great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly! Dog friendly.

Popped in for the first time today. What a gem! Great beer, amazing wings, and $1 hot dogs. Lovely customer service, too. Kid-friendly with some arcade games (requires quarters but they have a change machine!) and other little things to keep kids busy. Can't wait to come back!

Chubby Squirrel is a special place. Great beer, lovely staff, and comfortable surroundings. Love the Czech Pilsner and rotating tap beer. Nini and her team are first rate. I’ll be back soon! Cheers!

Great food and awesome selection of great beers. Really nice folks working there and an excellent vibe overall. Love the wall of brewery stickers - I spent an inordinate amount of time reading all of them looking for names I recognized.

Oh and bonus points for clean, functioning, gender-neutral restrooms - with period products to boot. (Cause at some point in our lives, we've all thought "Oh, I'll just take my wallet, instead of my whole purse, it will be fine!" and it was not fine.)

The only thing better than their premium, micro-batch beers from their gifted beer meister are the owners and staff that work there. They feel like family. I always wanted a pub like they have in England, and Chubby Squirrel Brewing Company is it.

I’m not sure why, but the Thursday burger special (burger and any draft for $12) was REALLY good! Aron (the chef) always does a great job but this time the burger was OUTSTANDING ~~~maybe a different bun or the thickly-sliced onion instead of diced onions?! I’m not sure, but it was delicious!
Then…..there’s the tasty brews: Imperial Porter, Marzen, Mangolorian (lots of mangoes,) Citra Ass Down (very hazy IPA) and others. A pleasure for every palate!
Oh! The soundtrack! Great music for good times thanks to the hostess with the mostest!
Thanks Nini, Aron and Mark for giving Fairfax City its FIRST BREWERY and a relaxing place to go for all us beer aficionados……….til next time!

Always great beer and awesome pub food

Awesome spot, great beer choices and friendly atmosphere and people

This place is perfect! Super nice staff, lovely beer selection, cute interior (with much squirrel decor), and nice outdoors for a nice weather. Wish I lived closer by, this would have been my go to!

Nice place, I've been a handful of times. Lady manning the counter is always pleasant. Beers are good. Props to them for having live sports on. There's also board games/arcade games to keep the kids busy, while adults enjoy some beverages.
