Three Notch'd Brewing, Charlottesville: October Brewpub Guide

A full-kitchen brewpub a block off the Downtown Mall, open daily and late on weekends

Charlottesville brewpub near the Downtown Mall on a fall afternoon

Three Notch'd Brewing Company's Charlottesville brewpub sits at 520 2nd Street SE, a block off the Downtown Mall, and runs a full kitchen alongside its brewery. In October, it is a sensible, unfussy anchor for a fall afternoon in the city, open daily from late morning and into the evening.

Why It Works for a Fall Day in Charlottesville

The appeal of Three Notch'd Brewing Company is its position and its schedule. It is a block off the Charlottesville Historic Downtown Mall, which makes it an easy stop between a morning of browsing the brick-paved blocks and an evening plan. It is also a full kitchen, not just a taproom, so you can treat it as a real meal rather than a quick pour.

We have no recent social posts or fresh menu intel from the brewpub itself, so we are not going to quote specific beers or dishes. Check the website for the current tap list and menu before you go; the brewpub's own page is the reliable source for what is pouring.

How to Fit It Into a Day

  • Late morning: On Saturdays the doors open at 10:00 AM, earlier than any other day, which suits a brunch-leaning start before a walk on the Downtown Mall.
  • Afternoon: Weekdays open at 11:00 AM, so a midday lunch fits between errands and gallery stops.
  • Evening: Friday and Saturday carry the latest listed hours of the week, until 11:00 PM, which is useful when dinner plans run long or fall through. Confirm kitchen hours with the brewpub, as the listing gives opening and closing times only.

Nearby, IX Art Park at 522 Second Street SE is a free outdoor art park on a former industrial site, filled with murals and sculpture. The brewpub is at 520 2nd Street SE, so the two share a stretch of the same street and pair naturally for a short stop before or after a pint.

Who It Suits

This is a good fit for hosting out-of-town guests who want something relaxed and central rather than a tasting-room drive. It is less a destination for the wine-club crowd and more a reliable, walkable place to land when the group has differing appetites.
