Good beer selection, limited menu but tasty and service was pretty slow BUT when they did get around to you they were very helpful and accommodating. Fish tacos were very good...there were only 2 but pretty big so 2 was plenty. Did I mention a pretty good beer selection?

The manager Tony is a piece of trash and refused to come out of the kitchen to discuss valid overcharges. Overcharged by 2 beers and the manager wouldn’t give back the money. Our party got 9 beers during happy hour ($5) and they charged us for 11 ($7 each). So we brought it up to our waitress at the end, and the waitress said that she told the manager and that the manager would come out and talk to us. Tony, the manager, gave the waitress a five dollar bill to give back to us. So that was a $32 overcharged, and Tony gave her a five dollar bill to get back to us. After we brought it up on the receipt, she said that she was going to get the manager and that he would come out and talk to us. After 15 minutes, she came back and asked if Tony had come back out. He did not, so she said that she was going to go back and get him. another 10 minutes later, she brought out a second five dollar bill. I feel like Tony is a terrible manager, will not talk to customers when a valid concern is a risen, and forces the waitress to handle all scenarios. After 25 minutes after bringing up the concern, we finally left because Tony would not come out of the kitchen to talk to us. Tony should not be a manager restaurant or customer service business at all. Our waitress was very nice, but the food was very dry and the manager is worthless.Kid-friendliness: We had kids outside on the deck, and they did pretty OK. Tables inside are not really set up for kids, as they are too tall.

Google just said open. Hours not given. Walked there from hotel. Door was open. Walked in. It was empty. Some grumpy guy on his cell phone yelled, "we're closed". If you are closed, get off your phone and lock the door.

This is a little mixed review. Visited during off season. We were basically the only people there. First off the reason we went there was the massive beer selection we read about online and menu online. First thing we noticed is the menu was not the same. Second thing is that the beer wall was not full loaded or functional. The tap list on the menu was not what was available. We were told to read the screens not the tap handles because it may be different, then most of the beers we asked about weren't available. I ended up drinking water but my partner did manage a couple of IPAs she enjoyed.On the flip side, contrary to some of the reviews I read the food was amazing. I had pizza and Mac and cheese, both of my absolute favorite foods, and they were great. Others on my party had burgers and fries and they had no complaints either. The fries were tasty (I snuck a few off their plates).With all that in mind ....the owner was cooking which tells me he cares about the place and the food he serves. He was also very personable and talked to us alot and even let us try a couple canned beers because the tap wall wasn't quite up to par. The location and atmosphere is great and this place has incredible potential. If Im ever in town again I'd be willing to try to visit again.

The staff was very friendly. I'm from out of town and was looking for local brews. They ran through a gauntlet of drinks with me to get me something fun. The music rocked as it was my late 90s and early aughts rock! I loved the vibe. Beyond fun! Would recommend!

I ordered the Crab Cake BALT and it was probably the saddest Crab Cake I have ever had. The bread was not toasted good at all and the crab cake was straight soggy.

Just sub par all around. Food was basic, out of several beers and staff was just hanging out at the bar.

Placed an order on their website but when I went to pick it up, they were closed. It was noon on a Friday. Luckily, I wasn't charged since they never confirmed the order, but it ruined my lunch hour.

Awful. Had their happy hour Calamari, which was still like $10 and was about 4 bites worth of food. Couldn't pour our own pints. The server poured them for us. They add automatic gratuity which is BS. Our server was really nice but I would never come back here. Idk how they're even still open.
Im from up North but stopped by VA beach. Grabbed some oysters and self pour brews while sitting outside. Great place.

We had a bad experience with this restaurant. Me, my sister and her friend came here to have fun. We ordered just 1 beer and 2 beers where you need to get it on the tap card. Waitress didn't assist us on how to get the beer on the dispenser and good thing that we took video of it cuz their beer dispenser is malfunctioning. Every time we try to get one glass of beer there were two dispenser that keeps pouring at the same time and we were charged $20 that we haven't drink yet. We showed the video to the waitress and talked to her manager but manager told us that we are trying to get out of bill and he want us to leave. The black guy with the same issue was given a free beer while us they just kicked us out of the restaurant. They are racist just because we are asian. Don't come to this restaurant!

Racist! Insulted and treated us very bad. Don’t ever go to this place , we were very traumatized. I am Traveling from NYC for a weekend. I came here with my two friends. Our server, a blonde woman, did not explain anything about dispensing the beers. As I was pouring, Two dispensers opened up, malfunctioning. I called for assistance and we were already charge $20, we haven’t even got a beer. The waitress said she cant do anything but will speak with the manager. She then came back and told us “YOU GUYS CAN LEAVE, ITS ON US. YOU ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE BILL. I was like EXCUSEEE MEE! We were in awe, and very shocked. The guy seating beside us a black guy was given a complimentary beer bec he was having the same issue, While us, Asians was treated badly. Just because we speak nicely, and the other guy was aggressive you will then treat us differently? We are not asking for a complimentary beer, I just want you to know the machine has a problem. And you should fix it. Later on we spoke with the manager, an old white guy, very rude. And accusing us holding two dispensers at a time???? Are you crazy? After leaving we got charge $29 for the calamari.. $29???? For a food that was never served.I travel for work and been around the world but never have i ever been disrespected and traumatized like that before. By far the worst treatment and service I got my whole entire life. Will never ever go back again and will never ever recommend this place.Following are pictures of the dispenser malfunctioning. Beware when taping your card will be charged double.

Novelty spot. Would be better if the beer was actually cold. Seems like they refrigeration was only keeping it around 40 - 50 degrees. So cold enough that it condensates but not cold enough to keep good taste or limit foam.
