Our favorite brewery in RVA. The owner is always so kind, friendly, & knowledgeable . Dogs are always welcomed. The beer is great and changes with season. If you love and want to support real RVA local businesses - Garden Grove is your place. Also, they offer fun board games!

One of my fav breweries! This little hidden gem is special. We all know rva has a craft beer scene. This is a place that has not given in to the corporate overlords. Don't get me wrong hardywood, ardent, triple crossing --they're fun. Hardywood is now a force to be reckoned with.....giving beer theme park vibes... hey I don't hate it! Garden grove is much more chill. I have unfortunately reduced my frequency of visiting due to financial cut backs..ahem... however, I went yesterday for the first time in a long time and felt called to review. I tried a flight, 4 beers. PBR ("preferred beer of Richmond" --don't get it twisted) paw paw, single wide, and second circle. There are of course rotating tap choices. Surprisingly to me, the pawpaw was the best! I'm no beer connoisseur so I won't waste your time reporting on the flavors and notes.. but it was tasty with a little kick. Atmosphere in GG is relaxed. Bar tenders are chill and helpful. There are some choices for wine/cider. There are board games to play with friends, live music events and you can bring your well behaved furry dog buds if you want to. 5/5 check it out next time you're in C-town.

Recently held a surprise party here. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, I was able to reserve plenty of space ahead of time, and the beer was awesome! Definitely recommend this spot for the drinks and space!

Overall this place is fine - and has a wide variety of selections/flavors depending on if you're in the mood for a good brew or mead (which we tried a few of - they are delicious!) Ended up getting the PBR and Swiss Bliss (both pictured) which may not have been the right choice in all honestly. Wish we went with something sweeter since that is what they are more known for (i.e. honey wine). The only other major gripe I had was that this was our last spot on the Richmond Beer Trail - which after you complete five breweries, you are gifted a prize by the brewery you are at when you complete it. This place did not actually know what or where their prizes were which was a huge bummer for us - especially since it was the only one in the immediate area and we had to drive elsewhere to get our prize! But otherwise staff was very friendly and it was very spacious - lots of empty tables for a Friday night unfortunately. Worth a visit if you are in Carytown/Cary Street, but would not go out of your way for it otherwise.

Such a cute little brewery. I ordered the "Mozu"- it was as a very light and refreshing drink. I'm not a big beer girlie but it's yummy! I got to meet Ryan the owner and he was the nicest guy. A great local brewery !

Stopped in from Missouri while waiting for friends to meet me for dinner. Employees were friendly and knowledgeable, and atmosphere was very cozy. The Kitsu was delicious!

What a great spot for good beer and wine. We loved that everything is brewed in house. I usually don’t like honey wine but omgoodness theirs is amazing. Definitely stop by it’s worth the trip.
Small place with a variety of beers, ciders, and wine. Very rustic, fun place on a fun street

On a random Sunday evening, my boyfriend and I wanted cider. We did a Google search and found garden grove in Carytown. Unfortunately, that day they did not have any ciders but I was introduced to honey wines. I must admit honey wines are more up my alley. This space is great because they also have an area For a live band, which was playing jazz when I visited. shout out to the bartender for letting My boyfriend and I taste the different honey wines and ales they had before we decided on buying since this was our first time there.

Stopped here for a wine tasting and found that they only had 2 regular wines and 4 honey wines. My friend tasted the honey wines and I did the regular. The white was odd and not pleasing to. The red, Adaptation, was really good. They would not sell me a bottle because they were almost out. Chris, my server was very nice and helpful. By the way, my friend said that the honey wines were pretty tasty. They are dog friendly as well and my dog enjoyed introducing himself to people.

Amazing variety, honey wine is to die for! Wish they'd expand to Hampton Roads!
