The Cottage Cafe

This is the type of restaurant that you drive an hour out of your way to visit! The food is unique and delicious; a mix of Irish and European cuisine. Very comfy and chill vibe inside gives the place a homey feel, which goes along quite well with the excellent cocktails they mix up. It’s right alongside the VA Creeper Trail, so you can drive, walk or bike to The Cottage Cafe. It’s a hit!

Stopped by for a pint and a pie after a hike along the nearby AT. Wonderful addition to the Virginia Creeper Trail community. Friendly service, great attention to detail and excellent meat pie.

This place is awesome! Check it out yall! Cozy atmosphere along with beer and authentic Irish food right on the Virginia Creeper Trail just North of Damascus, VA. It is a don't miss it kind of place!

Loved the ambience, the food, the beverages, and the owners were great! Can’t wait to return. Worth the trip from Bristol, Tennessee. Thank you!
