Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Parking garage is free to brewery visitors. We split a flight to taste. We tried the wheat, blonde, pilsner, white ipa and double ipa. We would rate the beer a 3 out of 5. We did eat any food. The waterfront view was nice and the inside atmosphere was relaxing. It is a great space for a group of friends to meet up and play games.

Beer, cocktails, food by the water?! Who doesn't want to chill out in a place like that? Bull island has a respectable menus of craft beers and a pleasant selection of cocktails. The food menus is nothing to scream about but it's food, most breweries might have a food truck. I love the open atmosphere and the water views. Honestly this is the picture of a brewery in Hampton Roads you would expect. Service wise on its game, no delay in getting me my beer and food.

I hosted a surprise party/gathering at Bull Island Brewing for my husband's official ordination at the VA United Methodist Conference. It was attended by family and friends who mostly all drove in from Richmond specifically for this gathering. That can be a bit nerve racking - wanting them to feel like their drive was worthwhile. And it absolutely was! Bull Island Brewing ended up being the perfect spot to gather, enjoy snacks/lunch/drinks and time together. The staff was so incredibly friendly and attentive and the food/drinks were awesome. We'll definitely be back! :)Big thank you to Lisa who helped me to plan things and who was very patient with my thousands of questions, haha. I'm really grateful!ps. The pretzel bites - to die for! I'm kind of glad I don't live closer because they would be the end of my fitness goals, haha.

We had a great meal waterside. It's typical bar and grill food but it was all delicious. The staff was all very nice and accommodating.

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening! We don't venture to the peninsula often so we had an excuse to check out Bull Island on our way back from a weekend in the mountains. While we initially had trouble figuring out where the brewery actually was, once we saw the sign we looked for side-street parking which was plentiful and free. A short walk and we spotted the entrance and grabbed a table on the dock. It was pretty quiet for a beautiful evening so there were plenty of tables to choose from. My daughter appreciated the rocking chairs. The inside was nearly empty!We placed orders at the bar and watched the boats go by while we waited. Drinks were really good and they have a good variety of options for all tastes. The pizza was absolutely delicious! I always request extra crispy and they nailed it. The only disappointment was the salad, which was sitting in water from being refrigerated. Otherwise, a great time with family and I hope to return!

Great outdoor atmosphere at the marina... Bar staff are very nice, and quick to get your order. I would love to give your stars for a review but I find the food brings the review down. This place coyld ve amazing if it cleaned up the menu and had just a few delicious options. Unfortunately, the food here is just okay. I love this bar for the drinks...and location though. I just wish the menu was...well, mind blowing. Delicious bar food iant hard to make and I truly believe this place coyld easily be a four star dining experience...it just needs a little manager or owner TLC on the quality of food offered. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope they'll rock my socks off next time I roll through. Ambiance: marina chillDress code: Super Casual Cleanliness: super cleanWait/bar staff are awesomeFood.... Is okay Come for the beer, come for the sunsets, come for the awesome bartenders....

Sat outside for a late dinner after traveling and got great service. Crab cakes were very good. Much of the water view is blocked by a dinner cruise boat but the atmosphere is still nice. Would go again on return trips. Only neg (not the business's fault but good feedback perhaps - due to a public event going on at the hotel next door, the shared parking ramp was packed and had multiple cars driving around with blaring music that you cannot talk over down below...that ramp should go back to a paid ramp except for hotel guests and your diners IMO. Otherwise you (& the hotel) will lose regular paying guests).

Food was awful: pizza was chewy, cheese was not fully melted and tangy sauce. Wings were not crispy, soggy and tasted like frozen wings microwaved.
