Big Ugly Brewing Brewery • $$
845 S Battlefield Blvd, Chesapeake

“I’ve been spoiled having lived Maine through the explosion of microbrews in the New England states and having access to some of the greatest breweries in the country… but these Hazy NE Style IPA’s (my favorite style) brewed by the Big Ugly rival them all!I think I’m in love❤️“

The Garage Brewery Brewery • $$
1011 Eden Way N, Chesapeake

“The Garage Brewery is a wonderful spot in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Located in the growing city of Chesapeake, VA I just adore this local brewery. Their beer is on point. Have you ever tried peanut butter beer? They have it. It is one of my favorites. I do recommend 5 stars overall in the community sense. In the biker sense…it is 5 stars as well. They are supporting the local biker community with bike nights and attending biker events. The employees are really kind and nice. They really enjoy the bikers of Hampton Roads. 5 stars. We do recommend this brewery.“

Smartmouth Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
1309 Raleigh Ave, Norfolk - 6.9 miles

“My husband and I hosted our co-ed baby shower and rented the warehouse space for a couple hours. The service was 10/10 fantastic - from the event planning to the bartender services, it was so chill, professional, and great! I will say, to rent the space, i felt like it was initially a little pricey ($350 for the whole warehouse + a bar minimum) but I will admit, the space is huge! We had about 40+ guests attend, and we probably could have fit another 60+ comfortably. We really enjoyed the aspect of being able to bring in our own catered food and non-alcoholic drinks (for the kiddos and for me as the preggo!). Everything was fantastic - I was worried how private it would feel since normally that space would be open to the public, but it was great!“

Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewery • $$

“I hosted a small gathering at Back Bay last week. They were extremely informative and helpful throughout my process planning the gathering. Additionally, they connected me with a caterer who provided absolutely phenomenal food--highly recommend going with their catering if you are hosting something. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. It felt like somewhere that all people would enjoy and feel comfortable, with lots of different types of spaces to suit various needs. The beer is also delicious. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful and personable. All in all, we had a great time and I can't wait to go back on my own.“

Benchtop Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1129 Boissevain Ave, Norfolk - 6.77 miles

“This place is great. Is small inside and the wind rips thru it on the outside but the beer is good and the people are nice. I make it a point to come here for their super tasty sours. The rivits on the chairs outside will rip your hair out, that's like the only bad thing.“

The Veil Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
2314 Colonial Ave, Norfolk - 7.12 miles

“Layout is open. Even on the third floor, very spacious during busy hours. Second level offers a sort of hideaway for those who might be a tad overwhelmed by the third floor. Offering of three formal mocktails on the menu is great - really enjoy the yuzu beverage. Fries were the unexpected highlight — McDonald’s style and flavor. Mac and cheese was okay. The chicken sando was exactly as described and delicious. Hit the spot.“
