The Bunker Brewpub

★★★★☆ 4.3 (402) • $$

"I've never been to Virginia Beach, but if all restaurants are like this one, I'm moving here!! I have never had such amazing food and beer anywhere! The beer menu was extensive, and the food menu was full of delicious options. My coworker had the seafood pasta, which looked fresh and she loved. The chicken tacos were unreal - breaded chicken tenders with honey chipotle sauce, slaw, and some awesome Mexican spiced pasta salad. But honestly - and this is odd - the star of the show was the Pineapple Grenade wheat beer. It was so light, so fruity and so refreshing!! We also had the miso caramel ice cream sandwich, which was unreal!!If you're in the area, EAT HERE! (I may be back tomorrow!)"

"When I'm in the Hilltop area around lunch time, I like to stop by Wasserhund Brewing for some of their incredible pizza. I know what you're thinking, what does a brewery know about making good pizza? As it turns out, quite a lot..,I recently discovered that they use the same yeast that they use to make their beer, they use it in their pizza dough. That is the secret to their magic.If you love good craft style beer and excellent pizza, check out Wasserhund Brewing. You'll be happy that you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local restaurant community."

"Somewhat tucked away on a side street in Smithfield, we missed this treasure!What a great experience with an amazing somewhat erie historical background! Seems this old building was a funeral home / crematorium.All the wood, tables, everything are from original historical buildings. As I understand the story, the kitchen area now - was the crematorium.Well, whatever they were "cookin", some deliciousness with a side of "fried green tomatos" was on the menu. We delighted in the stories as much as the food!From a super beefy burger to my amazing blackened Cesar salad, it was a welcomed treat to our hungry bellies! Our server Kylee was fantastic and super attentive! Definitely one to add to our regulars! Highly recommended!"

COVA Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.2 (166) • $$

"Nice little bar space with a great atmosphere as well as a good selection of different beverages and coffee. Having the outdoor location adds a nice touch to allow easy access to food trucks in the evening as well as a great space to hang out. Beers were very good without having anything that particularly shocked or wowed me. Definitely a lot of selection s though that all taste like a good example of each. So perfect for sipping and hanging out like this place is cared for.Only downside only ran into was the beers being charged when it was out. Being self-served, one of the taps was out but it is still running up a charge. I can see that being a problem if you don't notice you're being charged. Staff though was very easy going about taking it off when I went to get them. Parking is definitely a bit limited without parking in the nearby shopping center. But with all the amenities and great service it's a good place to hang out."

Triple Crossing Beer - Downtown

★★★★☆ 4.4 (139) • $$

"I visited Triple Crossing on a trip to Richmond as it was a relatively short walk from my hotel downtown. The brewery is in an old brick building, which adds character and serves as a welcome change from the modern breweries in Scott's Addition. They also have a few TVs over the bar which was nice to catch a game or gaze at when you're not indulging in your beer.My bartender was great and even mentioned the happy hour specials without my asking. He was very attentive and guided me to a couple of beers that were exactly what I was looking for. I ended up leaving with a four-pack of Double Falcon, which is an amazing hazy double IPA.I enjoyed my first visit to Triple Crossing and I'm looking forward to trying more of their delicious beers on my next trip to Richmond."

Three Notch'd Brewery & Craft Kitchen - Virginia Beach

★★★★☆ 3.8 (129) • $$

"Decided to try something a little different on a Friday evening, so I stopped into Three Notch'd Brewery around 8pm and thankfully, it wasn't busy at all. Since the sign at the entrance mentions 'wait to be seated', I did just that for about 5 mins but unfortunately, no one came to the front to seat me. I walked over to the bartender and asked if I could sit anywhere and she guided me to a booth.The menus are on a QR code and since the Crab Cake Sandwich really stood out, I decided to order that with sweet potato fries. The waiter came over pretty quickly and she was very nice. For drinks, I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was fantastic. I'd never had that flavor drink and it was great. The Lemon Drop cocktail was also surprisingly good. It's their own branded drink in a can and it was very refreshing. The food came out fairly quickly and overall, it tasted very good. The crab cake was flavorful and paired really nicely with the aioli. The toasted brioche bun was soft and warm but after eating half, I took the bun off to thoroughly enjoy the crab cake. The sweet potato fries were great as well. Our waiter checked on us through out the night, which I enjoyed. Overall, I really loved the vibe of this place. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. With the large dining area and the seating outside, I'm sure this restaurant will be packed once the weather warms up."

"Great place and atmosphere! The people are so friendly and it's just a fun place to hangout esp for trivia night on Wednesdays! You order your stuff at the counter making it very easy and they bring your food to you. The food was so good. Lots of great options. I had the cheesesteak and salad-REALLY good, even the salad where you think it's just a salad but really it's not. It was fresh and the croutons tasted homemade and the ranch dressing is to die for. My friend had the spicy chicken grilled sandwich which she really enjoyed and another friend had some sort of BBQ burger and she enjoyed it too. We will definitely be back again for more trivia and drinks!!"

"The lady working the bar was very friendly and engaging and I like the vibe of this place. They have a huge beer selection as well. I wasn't a fan of the Flemish Ale at all but I'm sure they have other offerings more my speed. I plan on coming back here to try some other beers most likely."

Thin Brew Line

"Attended USCG retirement reception, the venue was opened for a private affair, the staff was super friendly, they assisted with helping us get everything set-up. If you're looking for a space to host an event, this is a nice set-up with plenty of of parking. The venue covers two suites with a bar on both sides. They do not provide food but they do allow you to have your event catered.I'll have to checkout the vibes by visiting one evening...I'll let you know after I return."

Capstan Bar Brewing Company

"3.5 rounded down. The people here were soooo insanely nice but I think I came here with different expectations. Came on a Saturday afternoon ready to win some money! It should've been a tell all sign that there was no info on having to sign up/the fee for play but I'm new to bingo so I really didn't know any better. It was pretty hard to find this location as it's not really located by anything much. Just keep going and pay attention to all the signs. Not a lot of parking, but we found a spot. So nice inside! Low & high tables. Nice young man passing out the bingo cards to get the game started. The prize you ask? A pen. Next round it was a pack of drill bits. Honestly flabbergasted because this was a 30+ minute drive! This was not the type of bingo I was expecting x10. I think the icing on the cake was the fact they don't serve food here but you can order some pizza from next door. Yay. Overall, great place for locals and those who want to spend a chill Saturday afternoon playing bingo with their elders. Just not for me as an interested bingo player trying to win a lil something something"
