6 Best Bars near Smithfield

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

The blackened shrimp, fried green tomatoes and mozzarella sticks are absolutely delicious. My husband likes all their beers.
We drive from Virginia Beach to eat there, about once a month or so.“

“Before COVID invaded our world, my wife and I routinely stayed at the Smithfield Inn for New Years Eve. The Wharf Hill Brewing Company, just down the street puts on a PIG drop countdown for New Years that is attended by several of the residents and those of us who discovered it years ago. The Wharf Hill Restaurant super good food as has the Smithfield Inn on past occasions. This year we returned for the first time since 2019 due in part to COVID and family health issues since that time. This time, as in the past we reserved seats for dinner. OMG, the food was out of this world this time. Their New Chef, Chef Gary, is fantastic. The entrees on offer were incredible to begin with, everyone eating that night were all a buzz with how good the food was, from a Rockfish Wellington, at the next table to the salmon dish at the next. We had our classic ritual prime rib that in and of itself was very good to the vegetables and roasted garlic and goat milk cheese mashed potatoes that made my mouth exploded with deliciousness, and me experiencing joy. Chef Gary has instituted a Sunday Brunch now and we'll be going soon. You should give this place a shot. You'll not be disapointed in your stay of a well kept historical inn and at the restaurant and bar downstairs. Go and enjoy yourselves.“

“OMG the food and service is AMAZING! I ordered the chicken tenders and let me tell you: sooooo freaking good! I wish all restaurants made their chicken tenders and fries like this. i even ordered empandas and their carrot cake to go. My husband and I are already planning the next time we go. Such friendly people and atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Love this place!!! Great food, great people, great vibes“
