Low-key hometown vibes; shaded outdoor seating; beer is great! Solid food selection including flat top hot dogs, bar snacks, and flatbreads; the price and vibe overall solid??

I was in town last week and bought 3 bombers, but while the beer seemed to have good flavor it was totally flat when we drank them. The first one we opened was within 30 minutes of purchasing it. Hopefully it tastes better from the tap.

Drinks were good, food was not so good. One thing I really hate is when a menu lies to me. The beer cheese I got on my hot dog wasn't beer cheese, it was cheap nacho cheese from a can. Just take it off the menu!Cider was very tasty.

Staff super friendly. Beer outstanding and varied. The Patsy is my absolute favorite! Great place along the C &O canal/Potomac. They also have an event space that dates back to old timers like Patsy Cline. I haven't had the need, but will consider them for an event in my future

While in the area, we decided to stop in for a drink and quick lunch. The place is very visible as you cross the bridge from VA. Not sure what it used to be, guessing some kind of firehouse, factory or warehouse. They have kept that industrial vibe inside. You order at the counter/ bar area in the back, then pick up the food via a buzzer once ready. I had the vanilla porter which was actually a pretty good drink- not overly sweet or bitter. The food was ok but nothing special- I had the triple cheese and bacon panini which was really just a small grilled cheese with a couple slices of bacon. This place was fine for what it is and we may go back again to try some of the other brews.

Great sour beers, service, and ambience at the old fire station. Easily accessible biking off the C&O Canal Towpath.

Good beer but understaffed and under supplied. One bar tender, one kitchen person. 30 minutes in line to get a beer...longer in line and wait for very basic food. Food offerings limited and some of those were out of stock. And the place was only about 30% full in terms of customers.

I really liked the flavor your own seltzer option. I chose peach and it was delicious. Plus really cool atmosphere for this brewery being inside the old firehouse!

Easy to find,very helpful and friendly staff. Great flight of beer and glass of Cabernet with "Adult Lunchables"of various Italian lunch meats, cheeses and crackers! Beautiful weather to sit outside and enjoy the beer, wine and food! Definitely come here!

We've tried Smoketown beer at various beer festivals, and have never been overly impressed, keeping us from a specific brewery visit; but while on a 'beer trail' in Fredrick, we decided to check them out, seeing if 'on tap' draft made a difference. Overall, yes & no- we ordered two flights ($9.50 for Track 1 & Track 2 beers) (but also upcharged to add a few of the Track 3 IPAs ($2 per upgrade)The bartenders were quite friendly, allowing me to take a few sample sips to determine if some brews were worth me upgrading-The place wasn't overly packed, there isn't too much seating variety, but they offer a number of inside or outside patio options- serving food on-sight they don't allow byof, but were nice enough to allow our 2yr old daughter to eat the lunch she packed herself without 'kicking her out' hahaEasy ample street parking, though there is also a parking lot located within a 1-2min walk, so parking isn't a hassleAs for my 'on tap' yes & no response- we were quite impressed by a few of their IPAs- crispy, juicy, bold hop flavors- we ended up buying a 4pack of Patsy for home- though their black IPA, stouts, and paler IPAs had the same flat taste we were familiar with from beer festivals- I always thought maybe the beer just didn't travel well, or since it had been a long hot day outside the flavor was impacted, but the fresh pour from the brewery confirmed, nah that's just the flavor profile- I'd say overall out of the 8 beers we sampled, 4 were super impressive 3+stars, but the other 4 landed low on the rating scale- a so-so visit. Probably wouldn't visit the brewery again, but would buy Patsy if we see it in a beer store.
