The Vagabond Taproom

"this place is a little tight, but SO good for food!!! There was also live music and wasn't too loud, despite us being right in front of the speakers. The jalapeno poppers were fabulous with the blueberry (I think that is right!) sauce. The pizza pockets were super good, but my FAVE was the soup! we also had the grilled chicken sandwich and the grilled cheese. The bread is homemade, the pickles are homemade, its all so fresh!!"

"Best all-around food experience in the area. If you’re visiting, add a visit to The Vagabond Taproom to your list of things to do. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the music (both live and whatever the staff puts on), and the staff themselves are all on point. My favorite is the chicken salad sandwich with a root beer (na and on tap!), or maybe the Merry Goat Round with something from the local/regional beer list. And you can’t beat a Hoop Tea on a hot day in the outdoor seating area. Pat and his staff are doing an amazing job!"

"We visited the The Vagabond Taproom while on a mini vacation in WV, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip, it was that good! The beer selection was great and they had a little something for everyone. The menu is small but also has options for everyone! I’m a vegetarian and I still had a few dinners and apps to choose from. I got the veggie “meatballs” and portobello cheese”steak” and both were SO delicious. The server was super friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Don’t skip the root beer float for dessert!"

"Cute place and love the atmosphere. Food was delicious and perfect portions. Buffalo sliders were my favorite. Chicken salad had a unique blueberry balsamic which really made the already yummy sandwich even better. Good beer and cider selections. Save room for dessert!"
