New spot called Maggieās Midtown. Canāt give away all its secrets but itās a partnership that includes Chef Tarik from Smyrna and they are bringing a traditional British Sunday Roast to Cville.
Hitting The Jervey tomorrow for soft opening. Andy McClureās new steakhouse in Belmont across the street from Mas. Will report back.
McClure is behind The Virginian, Citizen Burger, and�
Belle and the Foccocia spot Nextdoor to Belle as well.
Plus I think he has Citizenās in Richmond and Nova as well but I canāt keep track.
Oh didnāt know he was Belle and Ciaccia too. Love both those places (I live in Belmont). Exciting!
Citizen Burger in Clarendon closed pre-pandemic. I donāt think he has any other outposts up here.
Disclaimer that Iām usually not a fan of bringing dogs indoors to restaurants/breweries, but we are meeting up with family in Charlottesville (midway point for most) the Friday after Thanksgiving. We will have our dog in tow as traveling from the in-laws in NC and wonāt have time to drop him in Richmondā¦
Any recommendations on breweries / wineries that allow dogs indoors or have heated patios?
Not an ideal situation but trying to make the best of it. Doesnāt have to be good beer/wine, more so the right space.
I think the Three Notchād (the one in IX) patio gets tented off when itās cold out, so that would be dog-friendly (canāt bring inside though).
I think the places that donāt have food would allow it: Decipher, Rockfish (on Preston, not on DTM). They both came up here: Breweries that allow dogs inside? : r/Charlottesville
That thread also flags Basic City in Waynesboro and Patch in Gordonsville if going outside Cville is doable.
I personally do not enjoy Pro Re Nata in Crozet but apparently dog-friendly too.
Big chunks of Pro Re Nata are outdoors with seating.
Kardinall Hall works well, thought not an actual brewery
I wasnāt sure how warm it would be on the Kardinal Hall patio, but they have an enclosure there too that should help.
When i was at Citizen Burger (i know it is not a brewery)⦠there were 2-dogs at the table next to us outsideā¦
Picture i took so my daughter could seeā¦
I hope that plastic cup at the foot of the table was a doggy lager.

Someone overserved that dogā
You could always drop the dog off at the local animal shelter and swap it for a cat

Chris is awesome. Iām a sucker for the caramel bun, but everything is good (and not a ton of places to get LatAm baked goods around)
Pop up at JBird on Sunday too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQy7RRfjeWf/?igsh=b3FiZ3JiZnE2Y3hi
Hogwaller once had a BLT using bread she baked from spent grain and it was amazing.
I went to Dr Hoās Pizza on Friday night before the NC Central game⦠very good!
I was just not expecting Dr Ho to be really named Horace and not be a doctor. ![]()
Hoo was it that recommend Belties in Nellysford? I had a great lunch there on Friday
Was me! Glad you enjoyed it!
