13 Best Craft Breweries in Virginia Beach

“Great times to be had at this fine establishment.“

“The Captain and the Wookie approve. This place is a hidden gem, tucked behind alderan. This place makes the Mos Eisley Cantina look like a swap meet. Impressive brews, great atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly. Only just a couple clicks away from the oceanfront, in a district where you couldn’t feel any safer. You only catch a place like this every few light years!“

“Aslin is fantastic IF you visit early on a weekday! The beer is great, the cocktails are top-notch, the food is delicious, and the vibes are as good as the staff! There are also tons of seating options. 5 stars for everything the brewery can control!

I recommend steering clear on weekends, unless your idea of a good time is reliving a chaotic children’s birthday party. There are more kids here than at any playground (30-40+ the last few fri/sat nights), running around, screaming, throwing gravel, playing on the stairs, and treating the place like a jungle gym.

This is coming from someone who actually loves kids?! I just think it’s important to note: if you’re hoping for a chill night with friends/fam on a weekend, this isn’t it.“

“I’ve always had a good time when I honor the Chesapeake location. I plan to check out the VA Beach location really soon. Great beer, great staff and fun events!!“

“It was very dog friendly and I got to eat pizza crusts!“

“Cajun Shrimp Egg rolls are delicious! The bunker burgers is amazing! Great food. Wished they had more locations. Whatchaoughtado peanut butter stout and Goat Locker Breakfast Stout was fantastic. Ms. Shirley was our server today and she was on the ball. Checked in with us. Efficient. Honestly, the ideal server. Will be back next time in town!“

“Great folks, great beer, and a nice mix of dog-friendly indoor and outdoor spaces. Well done, Reaver“

“Wide selection of beers, some hit or miss, but sometimes they do a lesser popular style with an amazing flare (Snatch you bald headed variants). Usually quiet (except on music bingo night lol) it’s a very home to the regulars place. Great service, good prices, and always a food truck worth trying out back.“

“Such a fun & inviting place!“

“The beer is always excellent!“

“Gorgeous venue and facility, however their lack of non alcoholic beers is the reason for 2 stars. Asked for non alcoholic and the response was we have coke products. The amount of NA options now is so massive so very sad to see such a nice place have nothing to offer for NA beer drinkers.

Update! Due to the response from the owner I increased the rating. It sounds like they do have N/A beer but we’re out. I appreciate the clarification from the owner : )“

“Stopped in for the first time today. Gotta say, I love the vibe and creativity put into the details. The bathroom decor was worth the visit. (Haha...no spoilers. Just go see for yourself.) You know when owners care about the small things, they're doing the big things right too!

Had a pale ale, Oktoberfest marzen, and Scottish Red Ale. All we're on point but the Red Ale absolutely scratched an itch I've had for a while!

Staff and crowd was just amazing. Walking in, I immediately felt like a regular.
We will definitely be back...“

“Rachel it was so nice to meet you! Congrats on your wedding coming up! Brooke is also awesome! I met the owner Tom tonight as well. EVERYONE is amazing, service is excellent, and food is excellent!“
