Big Ugly Brewing

Beer... meh...Service... an entire part of the taproom denied to sit, suggested to sit next to a trashcan by the front door, sub 40 degree drafts constantly.Atmosphere... over-hyped and sub-parHard pass for a second visit.10 year old says root beer is gross, two thumbs down.

Big Ugly Brewing is such a great spot in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake. You can always count on them for brews, food, and entertainment. Taxus Street Coffee - Tuesday through Saturday, Taxus Street Coffee rents their space during the day to serve up their caffeinated brews. During most of the year with the exception of Winter, Taxus collabs with Klassic Doughnuts every Friday so that we can get both coffee and doughnuts all at once.Food Trucks - they have a solid rotation of food trucks, at least one, but usually 2 food trucks to choose from on any given night. We've seen Bar-Q, Pelican Pete's, Krazy Trompos, Prime 757, Courtney's Kitchen, Hangry's VB, and the list goes on.Live Bands - they always have some sort of a band on weekends, not sure about the weekday, but refer to their schedule on their website.They always have something going on whether it's featuring a local group or business, Girl Scouts, or a themed event. We always enjoy going to their Trunk or Treat event every year with our kids. The only problem is that some of their events attract so many people, the parking becomes an issue with people parking all over the place. I think they've outgrown their space! I don't drink, but my husband seems to enjoy it as we go there often enough! Whenever we want to just go out for a quick bite to eat, we check the schedule at Big Ugly first! Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

We stopped by Big Ugly Brewing recently so that my wife could enjoy a beer. I don't drink but it was a beautiful day outside and I decided to join.They had a band playing and we were able to grab a couple of seats outside. Such a great time!

Came here for their Halloween party - such fun! Great decorations , friendly staff, good beer selection, even had some non-beer options. They don't sell food, but usually have 1 or 2 different food trucks. We only tried the Asian one, and it was unfortunately awful.

Is 10 stars an option? The stouts are great. The bar guys are top-notch. They recognize militarily and veterans. I highly recommend this place. The light beers (pilz) are good as well.

Another one of those places that everyone tells me about that I, for whatever reason, have never checked out. Nice open layout to enjoy a few beers with friends and family. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was a live musician. The Witching Sour was really good, but I loved the Pina Colada Gose that I had after this one! So light and refreshing.Bonus: doggies are allowed inside!! I'll be bringing my hound next time.

It's a place to hang out with beer bodies. The vibe is not romantic. It is a manly atmosphere so to speak. If you love beer and want to hang out with friends this is a good place. Parking can fill up fast. Give yourself some time to find a spot.

This place is spacious, staff is friendly and menu items seem to be great. I was here for an evening with my PMI HR pints and PDU event. There was DJ outside, bar was open. I didn't order anything since I already had my supper but the folks I sat with ordered some ginger foods that smelled really good when served. There's a merchandise corner that carried shirts. Will come back here to try their menu items.

Loved this brewery in Chesapeake! It's big inside and offers 2 floors. Plenty of seats available to hangout and enjoy beer. We happened to go on a Saturday where they had a live music playing and they were very good, sad I didn't get to go up to see who was playing! The 2nd floor is only avail for 21+ and was very cute area for drinking and taking pictures. They also had 2 different food trucks serving food and lots of space outside on the patio to sit and enjoy your beers outside! Great selection of beers and merch! We'll be sure to come back again!!

I was recommended by my SIL. I came Saturday afternoon when the Medieval fights were the feature of the day. The beer was tasty but a little pricey. service was prompt and polite.
