"I recently visited PBR and had the pleasure of meeting Alexis, who is a fantastic 2 step partner and line dancer, not only talented but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Alexis has a way of making everyone feel at home and adds a special charm to the atmosphere of the bar. I enjoyed chatting with her and watching her light up the dance floor with her graceful moves. Alexis truly enhances the overall experience at the country bar, and I look forward to seeing her again during my next visit."

On 3/23, I was assaulted by security for simply trying a request a lyft home. It was pouring raining so I stepped inside for a few seconds to request a car my phone wasn't calibrating. So I stepped inside for a few seconds to dry my phone so I can request a lyft. Few seconds of me trying to get a car, the security lunged at me and it was completely unwarranted. I told him "you don't have to touch me, it's completely unneccesary" and it turned into him just screaming in my face. As I left he lunged at me 3 to 4 different times additionally while leaving the building. I wasn't a threat all I was doing was requesting a lyft and was physically and verbally assaulted by the security for no reason. Of all of this that went on, there were people still going in and out of the building with no issues but for some reason I was singled out and assaulted by the security multiple times. As I still was trying to request my lyft he opened the door to still scream at me, meanwhile I'm on a public side while it's raining to sort out getting my lyft. He screamed at me telling me he was going to make sure I got arrest if I didn't leave. All of it was just unwarranted just for trying to request a car home. I will be making a police report and I'm 100% pressing charges. I've been reading reviews I'm not sure if it's the same security guard but it looks like he has a history of being aggressive towards patrons and putting his hands on people unwarrantedly. For the experience I went through, I will be escalating this issue.

Honestly wish there was an option for less than one star. The service here was not only disrespectful but degrading as a paying customer and resident of this community. In my multiple years of living in Hampton, VA I have never experience service like the one I experienced here at PBR of Hampton. Upon arrival, there were only about 6 people already being serviced at the time. We had a party of about 11 patrons, eager to be serviced here considering we have attended many times before with no issue. However, our time here quickly changed from excitement to dismay. Upon being seated at the bar, we were asked to show forms of identification which we had no problem with at all considering we were all over the age of 21. Everyone else in the party seemed to pass the identification checks with no issue except for one of the people in our party who is actually well over the age of 21. Keeping this in mind there should be no issue right? No, from here this led to being questioned not once but three times about the validity of the Id, once again of the person who was well over the age of 21. We were treated as if we were less than, blatantly disrespected, undermined, and discriminated against all the way until we were literally WATCHED while we were walking out after deciding to leave. Other experiences during our short time here included, one of the guests in our party being tapped on his chest in a way that crossed multiple boundaries, being very confrontational for no apparent reason at all and much more. As stated at the beginning of this review, this was very disheartening considering that before this experience we were regular customers of this establishment, but due to the treatment we experienced on 3/22/2024, we would be remised to ever be a customer at this place again. We hope that you all will take heed of this terrible experience and use it as a learning lesson for how you all as a business can do better in making ALL paying customers feel welcome and also how to move forward with conflict resolution in the future.

My husband and I arrived shortly after opening on Friday the 15th. This was our only visit.I am a wheelchair Warrior. I can walk ambulatory with help. There are zero tables for standard height chairs except for the two VIP areas. These VIP areas also require transfer from chair to a couch to reach the short table in the area.There is a smaller second floor that has a pool table and stripper pole. No elevator to this area.Dance floor was roomy. No one danced while we were there. There are strobe effects that can be seizure triggering.Now comes the bull policy. The bar keep told us it is okay for me to ride it. After sitting and drinking in the “accessible” area, my husband carries me to the line. After going around the rope for the line, the lady told us “because you needed help getting here, our policy is that you can't ride.The food options were few. The sliced Pizza was cold and looked Like part was missing.Bar had good selection, however, using the small plastic cups for straight drinks makes a mixed drink in the same cups tastes watered down.Zero stars. I felt ashamed, stereotyped and excluded. No good drinks, no good food, and nothing to do.The “Friday's military appreciation and giveaways” never happened.Zero stars. Not ADA accessible.
