Brewery Profile

Three Notch'd Craft Kitchen & Brewery

A visitor to Charlottesville’s beer scene will find this operation set up as both a production brewery and a full-service restaurant in IX Art Park. The format is closer to a craft kitchen than a bare-bones taproom: beer is part of the dining experience, and the kitchen is described as using it in locally sourced, seasonal dishes. The menu ranges from Southern classics to more modern fare, so the stop can work for a full meal rather than only a flight or pint. A full bar is also part of the setup, with craft cocktails available alongside the brewery offerings. Its participation in the Charlottesville Ale Trail places it within the city’s broader brewery circuit and gives visitors a way to connect the stop with other local beer destinations.

Travelers coming through this part of Virginia often look for brewery visits that can be combined with food, arts districts, outdoor seating, and a sense of the local community. This location fits that pattern by pairing its brewery role with a restaurant setting inside IX Art Park, a Charlottesville destination known for creative activity and public gathering. Because specific beer names and the current tap list are not fixed here, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours. The more reliable expectation is the overall experience: a brewery visit that can include a sit-down meal, seasonal cooking, and drinks beyond beer for mixed groups. For people following the Ale Trail, it functions as a convenient food-focused stop rather than simply a quick tasting-room check-in.

For practical planning, outdoor seating is available on a patio, and leashed pets are allowed there. The patio is covered and heated, which makes it more usable across different seasons than a fully exposed outdoor area. Visitors should still check current hours, seating availability, and any weather-related adjustments before making plans. Weekend visitors may also encounter Gameday menus and drink specials, so the atmosphere and offerings can differ from a standard weekday visit. Groups with non-beer drinkers have the option of the full bar, while diners can choose from a broader menu than many taproom-only breweries provide. For the most accurate information on current beers, cocktails, food specials, and event-day service, the brewery itself is the best source on the day of the visit.

The operation maintains its primary production facility alongside a full-service restaurant within Charlottesville's IX Art Park, specializing in the integration of beer into locally-sourced, seasonal dishes. This location functions as a Craft Kitchen & Brewery, offering a diverse menu that spans southern classics and modern fare, complemented by a full bar featuring craft cocktails. The facility participates in the Charlottesville Ale Trail, emphasizing its local commitment. Outdoor seating is available on a patio that accommodates leashed pets and is equipped with heating and covering for year-round use. Additionally, the venue promotes specific Gameday menus and drink specials on weekends.
