From the day it opened, Craft 60 became the main, new, after-work hangout-and-drink spots for my friends and coworkers. We immediately became friends with all of the front of house staff at the time as they were lovely people to chat with and even have a drink with on their days off, but they unfortunately have all left now so our personal visitations have diminished. To be honest, while the late night music helps support local bands, open mic nights or pre-selected, Im really over being in these small bars late at night where the music is so loud that we cant talk to any people at our tables and honestly wish that there wasnt live entertainment, but to each his own. Theyve got cornhole boards outside on the patio which is entertainment enough for us personally as well as a cigar selection for those interested. Their food has been incredible as far as my palate is concerned, and I havent had anything bad yet. In terms of their overall purpose in craftbeer, they rotate the taps at least once a month and do weekly rotations of new, VA tap takeovers with steal-the-glass nights. Unfortunately though, prices have always been quite high as compared to some other nearby places with large craftbeer and spirit selections. Parking is quite difficult as well and you have to be aware of which neighboring areas you can park at without being towed. Perhaps due to this, ive heard rumors that Craft 60 is considering moving into the shopping center north of here on the corner of Warwick and Denbigh, however, Ive seen that as a place that business and bars go to die, so I really hope they dont follow through with that ...

My wife and I were invited here for a friends birthday dinner celebration. It is a little secluded behind a Karate dojo, but not terrible to find. At first impression I figured this was a beer snob place with the selections, but reviewed the menu and found a craft beer that suited to my tastes. The atmosphere is excellent , the windows almost remind me if I were in a blimp. There are TV screens all over different sports channels and games on. Very good TV placement and also everything is in HD. Beer was perfect temperature. Wait staff is top notch. It was a Saturday night, so they were busy, which was nice to see. A good indication of their reputation. Food. Dear Lord the food. I ordered the smothered chicken. Im normally a burger and fries guy but decided one something different. The chicken was perfectly cooked, not dry and not overcooked. The asparagus was amazing. Not drowned in butter and cooked just right so that it had a nice crisp crunch and not mush. The potatoes were excellent and almost had a stuffing taste to them. Creamy and smooth, absolutely perfect. There was live music which was excellent. It consisted of a violin (fiddle) and a guitar. Extremely entertaining. Overall this establishment will receive repeat business from me. Between the cold beer, food, atmosphere, and entetainment, I wish this place the best.

I drove all the way from VA Beach to come try out this restaurant and the food was mediocre. My burger was burnt and dry with no seasoning, it felt like I was chewing rubber. The crab dip had barely no crab meat in it just an illusion like it was crab dip. The french fries was good minus the fact some of the fries was burnt. The smothered chicken and sides was over cooked and bland. They really need new cooks and seasoning for taste. The only reason I gave it two stars because the staff was very friendly and provided great customer service also I can tell they are trying with the many selections they have on their menu. When reading the menu everything appears so delicious until they bring out your dish and you take a bite. I will not visit again until they make some serious changes on the quality of their food. Better cooks and better seasoning is very much needed. I dont understand how any cook can ruin a burger????

I am not impressed at all. They dont have many beers for a place named Craft 60, the service is horrible and the food is meh. Food places who use arugula salad blend instead of regular lettuce should not be allowed to jack up their prices. Arugula sucks anyway. Also, the burgers are not $12 quality and the beers are more expensive than many places. The food was all over salted, which says a lot for me because I am a salt freak. My brothers burger was even burnt. I just think that if I am going to pay those prices I will take my business elsewhere. It just isnt worth it. Moving on to the horrible service. There was only one server and he looked stoned AF. He never asked if we wanted more beer, refilled our waters or gave us our check. we eventually just had to ask for our check so that we could pay. We regretfully left a 10% tip. We will not be back!!!

Amazing. Now this place is tucked away a little but dont let that discourage you. This is not one of your biker roudy bars. Quaint little place. Outdoor and indoor seating. We came on a Wednesday, which is open mike night. This will be my to go to place from now on. Service was perfect. Michael, our bartender was very personable. Asked what your name was, shook your hand. He got to know your drinks and what you like. Food was AMAZING! We had the cheese curds! Poboy and surf and turf burger. Hot, fresh food! High quality mixed drinks. I loved The Crush. I cant speak enough how great our experience was. Yet again another amazing plate and experience months later.

Only been once since we moved here but will be back a lot. Staff was stellar, beer selection is phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. Honestly easiest have the best fries Ive had in my life. Theyve somehow perfected the frying of sliced taters so theyre perfectly crisp and not the least bit undercooked, soggy, or dried out on the inside. Bartenders were constantly chatty and friendly and on point with refills and new beer suggestions... Again, their beer list is vast. Like 4 pages on the menu is beer, plus their tap rotation. One of the first places Ive been in the area, already my favorite.

First off... The pretzel mozerella was one of the best appetizers Ive ever had. Just think of it as a mozerella stick on steroids with perfectly creamy mozz inside. My wife had the Cuban sandwich. She still wont sop talking about it. I got the truffle burger. To be honest it left a little to be desired. It was real light on the truffle aioli and the meat was seasoned a little weird. Not to my taste but others might like it. All in all still am enjoyable experience.

It has a quaint neighbor bar feel. So dont expect anything more than alittle place to have some drinks without being around a ton of ppl. The 1 star would go to 4 but......your bartender Chandler is rude, has 0 customer service skills, acts like he doesnt want to be there and serving drinks is an inconvenience. GET RID OF HIM! Until then me and the rest of my coworkers at BDUBS will not be back!!

I just walked out after sitting at the bar for 10 minutes without being served. The bartender seemed overwhelmed by having to pour some beers for the servers, and never acknowledged my presence even though I was sitting right in front of him. The restaurant was awkwardly quite, as there was no music playing or noise from the TV. Doesnt seem worth giving a second chance.
