The Wayfarer

A nice place on the beach that is a bit more than bar and grill casual. The food is outstanding and the room is thoughtfully decorated. A great place to go for a nice dinner in Virginia Beach.

The food here was actually way better than I was expecting. The food was a 5/5 and was a good price. Unfortunately, the guy I ordered from was weirdly mean and sassy and I wasn't really sure why so I gotta drop the review down to a 4 star. I kinda wanted to ask the guy why he was upset and if he wanted to talk about it. Like I'm a good listener. Like tell me your feelings big boy. Like rest your head on daddy's shoulder and tell me what's going on. After writing those last 3 sentences I think I gotta drop the review down to 3 stars lol.

This place definitely deserves zero stars! I came here with about a group of 20 people for the Death Cab Karaoke event last Saturday night. We were all having a great time until the bartender started being rude to my fiancé! When my fiancé and a friend of ours went to the bar to grab another drink the bartender responded by saying, "Fuck that! You tip like shit! I'm not serving you"! He also slammed the bottle that was in his hand against the bar top as he said that comment. First of all, my fiancé was tipping every single time he bought drinks! Secondly, tipping is not mandatory! After the comment was made, my fiancé walked away and went outside because he no longer felt welcomed. He did not react or talk back to the bartender whatsoever but as he walked outside of the venue one of the bartenders walked outside and stood in front of venue with one of the staff members at the entrance booth. They were watching my fiancé because they probably were assuming that he might react to what the bartender said. When our party decided to leave the event my fiancé said have a good night to the bartender and the other staff member standing in front. But they both defensively responded by saying, "What did you say"!? As my fiancé repeated himself both the guys ignored him and didn't say anything back to him. It was a bummer because we had a great time at the event and the venue was nice but the bartender was just rude! Here's a photo of the bartender that refused to serve my fiancé!

Been here before but tonight a guy started a mosh pit out of nowhere when the space was so small and everyone was cramped. He knocked me fully down and my husband tried to get him to calm down - no swings at all and the other guy wouldn't calm down. Tell me how we got kicked out the club. Do better at seeing who actually was causing trouble.

Absolutely wonderful food for a bar. Nachos were amazing and would come back just for them. Cesar was a little underwhelming but the flavor of Nachos made up for it. Cute place for live music. pool. relaxing.

I don't visit the The Wayfarer often, but when I do I always have a good time.The food is worth a visit in its own right. The pulled pork sliders, for instance, are a thing of beauty. I've never had better pulled pork anywhere and heaven knows I've eaten my share of it over the years. The service is friendly and on the ball every time. Ambience wise, it's a roomy, comfortable place with lots of places to sit. I like to sit at the bar, but that's personal preference. Booze wise its full bar with a nice selection of craft beers. The place attracts some really good bands, including some that tour nationally. Last night, we saw Jerry Joseph. He was great. The Wayfarer is a good place worthy of your attention.Cheers!

First time visitor a few days ago. Came by with some friends to see a band and have some drinks. It is tucked in the corner of a plaza but really opens up when you enter. There was so much more space than I expected. The band had a stage to perform on and there was a large space in front for people to dance. The bar was nice as well and in the back of the bar there were pool tables. I ordered a few drinks throughout the night and they were all great. They also have a good selection of beer that I assume they change every so often. The music from the bands that performed were all good and everyone seemed friendly as we were all enjoying the music together.

A really dope spot! Clean! Clean restrooms, full spacious bar! Went to catch a show, some technical difficulties, but nothing major! Loved the show! Super intimate. I want to come back to try the food.

Cool little dive hidden in Costa Mesa. Went for Y2K night. The crowd was lively, the band was awesome and the sound was great. Intimate dancefloor but still spacious enough to not feel stuffed. Bartenders were friendly and quick!

Great Dive Bar! They made me a blood Orange drink that was excellent. Band was fun. Pool tables here. $10 entry for the band.
