Decent spot to grab a drink on the beach front. They have an in house beer selection that is decent. The food is pretty good, burgers are the go to.

Good food, good vibe. Fried pickles were a bit bitey for my taste but still good. Tacos were interesting. Good selection of drinks for non beer drinkers, the hard seltzer on tap is cool.

This was our first meal here in Virginia beach and the the food here was just stonking good. Every thing we had was just on a different level from your average pub food.The food here is just elevated by textures and flavors and its just absolutely over the top as you eat and savor it.The eggrolls combined the familiar flavors of tex mex with the crisp crunch of an asian eggroll and then you just get carried away with the garlic cilantro dipping sauce. Nothing was over powered and the texture and flavors just blended so well as you eat through the generous 6 1/2 pieces of eggroll.We got two tacos the chicken bacon ranch and sweet potatoe with pasta salad and asparagus. Both were delicious in their own right. The sweet potatoe tacos were excellent. I thought going into this the chicken taco was going to be your average flavor profile but I was just plain flabbergasted when I took my first bite. It was an elevated flavor profile of extra crispy chicken, crispy bacon, all transported in a tortilla with a sweet honey sauce and fillings. The crispy bacon and chicken just melded together with the sauce, filling, and tortillas creating one of the best tacos Ive ever had. It reminded me of Japanese karagi chicken on a taco.Finally, came dessert a delicious lemon and strawberry cobbler. And ironically I don't really care for lemon or strawberries but it was just a delight. The thing was it was a hint of lemon in the topping assisting the strawberry in a warm delicious bite that then gets contrasted by the creamy cold vanilla ice cream. Everything together was just elevated and divine coming from someone who has absolutely no allegiance to any dessert that contains lemon.All while enjoying these we got to sip on their cherry seltzer and ciders. The meal we had was absolutely top tier for a restaurant and the person who came up with their menu had to have put some real careful thought into it. The only downside is we couldn't have more so we are going to go back for a second meal soon. Try this place out you wont regret it.

Not a ton of 'atmosphere' but who eats or drinks atmosphere?We had a couple of beers (pretty good selection and posted so you can see what they offer), a couple of 'tastes' that the bartender was happy to provide (some act like it's a chore) and appetizers. Generous portions on the apps (tuna bites and fries - A+).The place got pretty full around 1:00 or so on a Sat. Good beer, good food, and good service.

Gabby was amazing! The food selection is small but it's definitely worth it! The tacos, the Mac and cheese, and the drinks are worth a visit!

Great food, drinks and live music options. Amazing and friendly staff with a from scratch kitchen that is to die for.

I ordered the crab cakes and while they were not terrible, I was expecting something more from a restaurant located on the beach and serving other seafood such as muscles and oysters.They were good crab cakes for sure and would be one of the highlights if this restaurant were situated elsewhere. But I have had better crab cakes from local fisheries where I am from as well as for a cheaper price (2 patties cost $40).

I went here for my birthday because I just wanted a cold beer and a burger with my family. The food was awesome! I really loved my southern burger, my kid loved the fried shrimp, and my husband’s chicken and waffles were the best I’ve had! However, there was only one waitress and she was understandably stretched thin and the ladies bathroom was out of toilet paper in three of four stalls.Parking: We parked at the city lot on 24th and pacific and then walked down to the boardwalk and back up to the brewpub. It was really pleasant!

Great atmosphere. I tried the VB hot chicken sandwich and it was SPICY! Great sandwich and the fries were pretty good. I also had the strawberry cobbler (seasonal) and it was loaded.Not the best options for gluten free diets; 6 options are gf and 3 of them are salads.
