Nice venue. Great beverages!
I admit that I found out about this Norfolk Virginia Makers Craft and Brewery location after hearing about it referenced via people at my current place of employment. I took a chance with going there less than 8 hours ago. I tried a black cherry shandy which was delicious and the employee helping me to select the order was highly polite. It was tempting to order another beer. However I felt myself get a light buzz after just one drink and I chose to voluntarily restrain myself tonight for personal reasons. There was a Rosa's Lumpia truck outside of the restaurant and I chose to order 4 pieces of lumpia which I received with sweet chili sauce which was also delicious and luckily that food helped to soak up the beer I was enjoying. The employees handling my food order were friendly and cheerful towards me even with I being slightly buzzed. Obviously I intend to keep an open mind to returning and I am glad to have tried some of the beer with some lumpia on the side.
Wonderfully friendly service from Michelle (Brew Pub) & Brandon (Cigar Lounge). I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Plus, tasty beers, with a wide selection. Thank you!
Peaceful Thursday afternoon having a few beers with an old friend in town for the week
Huge selection of cigars with a smoking specific room, indoor bar with on-site brewed drinks, massive outdoor patio with board games, and adirondack chairs. Some covered, and some uncovered. Outdoor games as well. No food (aside from snacks) served inside, but usually, there is a food truck outside.
Overall, great place with nice ambiance.
Came to try this place because we pass by it on the way to the gym everyday and noticed the large patio/yard. We love going anywhere we can bring our dog, and this place is advertised as dog friendly so we figured it would be perfect. Unfortunately, when we arrived, I was trying to be proactive, so I asked for a plastic bag just to be prepared if my dog had to poop while we were enjoying our drinks outside. The bartenders pointed me in the direction of a stand outside with poop bags, but another woman who I assume to be the manager told me in a rude tone that if he has to go to the bathroom, to take him outside of the fenced yard. I’m entirely happy to clean up after my dog if he poops anywhere in public, but I’m not going to take my dog outside of the fence when we are already outside and this place is supposed to be dog friendly. Why advertise as dog friendly if not ACTUALLY dog friendly then? Won’t be coming back.
This is such a fun brewery, great beer selection of course but it's also a destination for music. We shared a St. Patrick's Day celebration with Scotch and Rye playing. It was also Maker's anniversary, cheers to many more.
The stout and dark ales are to die for. The best I've had since leaving the UK.
It’s really a nice place clean comfortable and cozy a variety of beers plus a cigars humidor with plenty of choices food trucks and a outside area which is nice when weather permits definitely a must try . Great place to hang out for a date night
very nice venue and beautiful outdoor seating.

Great Krampus festival! Friendly vendors.
A nice proper establishment with a welcoming staff. Each drink is worth the visit
Great atmosphere, service, and adult beverages!!
Great service. Fun beer selection, including beermosas. Clean. Favorite part is the adults-only seating area outside.
Pretty neat brewery. 3 different spicy beer options on tap. With jalapeños and ghost peppers! Indoor sectioned off cigar lounge and the biggest outdoor seating area I have seen in Norfolk!
