Giving this place a provisional 4 stars with a commitment to go back. We’ve lived a mile from this place for over a year and visited for the first time tonight, which is ironic because the first time we decided to go the places was packed. There were tents outside for food vendors and a band was setting up outside. It appeared that we stumbled into some kind of event. One thing I noticed is that a lot of people were wearing the store’s merch, and the brewery definitely promotes its brew club which offers discounts on pints, etc. Have to say that everything we had was very drinkable and nothing we drank was particularly “gimmicky”, I.e. the kind of beer that you only want one of. The place seemed very family and pet friendly, and signs posted explained that they’re open to having outside food brought in. Conveniently there are decent restaurants in the adjacent shopping center, so we had susihi from Sushi Bae along with our beers. All in all, a great first experience and we’ll be back. Looking forward to seeing what the place is like when it’s not madhouse. That said, the staff did a great job of keeping the long time moving. Well done W.E.!

The staff is amazing, place is always clean, the beer is always a'plenty and a great variety is available! Awesome place to bring your littles and your fur babies.

I love the beer, but the service is weird. I am sitting at the bar, but I need to get in line to get a beer.

I went with a friend and was not impressed. There were too many kids running around inside. Two little girls kept going back and forth along the window, stopping and staring a few times. Their parents were obviously oblivious to their activities. If you want to go out and drink, leave the kids at home. The service was fast and friendly. The prices were reasonable. I probably won't return. I love kids and adult activities, but not when the two are mixed.

They let you bring in food from outside. Nice variety of beer styles.

Excellent craft beers in a warm inviting setting. Great staff, knowledgeable of beers on tap and all around great people. Pass by for a warm welcome and a cold beer.

Great experience on a Thursday night. Rain had everyone inside but the place felt lively with a decently diverse crowd. The beer tenders were friendly and helpful. I didn't feel rushed and they were willing to explain the menu and operations. They do offer packaged food options to munch on, but outside food seemed to be welcomed. The location has plenty of nearby food options. Overall, completely worth the time, considering the beers are reasonably priced.

Nice atmosphere, clean and pleasant environment. Beer lacks creativity, imagination and is extremely bland. I thought I was drinking water since it contained no taste and was very forgettable. I tried multiple beers with no success. I do not recommend.

The beers here are very well priced, and they have a great selection of traditional and fun, "experimental" craft beers. A great weekend hangout spot!

Water's End has become a staple of our area in Lake Ridge. The quality and variety of their beers has significantly improved since they first moved to Dillingham Square. Taps rotate frequently so there is always something new, and we are never disappointed when we go for a visit. On the weekends you might catch a musician playing inside. And on nice days you can hang out at one of the tables in the large outdoor area. You can even be comfortable bringing your whole family. Will definitely be frequenting this establishment to have a beer or 2 or maybe fill up my growler... again.

One of my favorite breweries in the state of VA and that I have ever been too. Beer is great and brewed locally. Bartenders are friendly and connect well with the customers. It's great place to hangout with friends and everyone who goes there is friendly.

Absolute favorite brewery! Love both locations but since this one was first I have a bit more love for this one! Staff is great and they have the best brews I've ever had! Their Damn Beer is my absolute #1 All Time Favorite! However that being said there hasn't been a single one I can remember that I wouldn't order again! They have all been great! Also I should note that before them I was NOT a big beer lover/drinker! They definitely brought me around!
