Chesapeake Bay Distillery

I really enjoyed the cocktail flight and especially the spicy tequila. I look forward to making some spicy margaritas at home. It was a fun place to visit while we vacationed at Virginia Beach. I recommend it!

The liquor tastes amazing. The server was helpful and amazing. Very chill place to have a few drinks to start your night. Highly recommend to check this place out.

We stopped in on a rainy afternoon and had a great visit!We both had a flight of drinks and we loved every one we tried!After the flight, we had a drink each of our favorite cocktails and we will happily return when we are back out this way next time.Flights and a single cocktail were $8 each so there was no worry about breaking the bank. The bartender was great and we had lots of fun!!Well worth a visit if in the area!

My wife and I found a fun little distillery a few blocks from ocean front. Completely worth a short walk!!$8 flights or cocktails. All spirits crafted here. A nice view of the distillery with seating for 30-40. Friendly bartender who was personable and quickly poured the drinks. The smokey ghost pepper tequila was great - I can see why it won a 2023 craft sprit award!Best part - ABC carries the bottle too so you can enjoy your own creations by starting with a really good base

I bought a bottle of Ghost Pepper infused Vodka at the ABC store in Woodbridge, Virginia. There was NO TASTE OF GHOST PEPPERS (Smoked or otherwise) in this bottle of vodka; nor could we smell any aroma of such in the product from start to finish - IT WAS JUST VODKA - VERY DISAPPOINTING!!Robert E.

My favorite spot in VA Beach. Small tasting room but worth a visit. It's simple. You pick from a list of featured cocktails of the week. You can do two cocktails, a cocktail + a flight, or just a flight. The best option is cocktail + flight as that lets you sample the most variety. The bartenders are always nice and add to an overall great experience.

This is a great place to start your night for $8. There is no food so it's not going to be a long visit. They have changed how they do things. But you can order 4 different shot size drinks or just 1 drink. I like to order the 4 so I can try different things. Its not a big place. Probably not great for large parties. A small bar with about 8 seats. Complete view of where they make the alcohol. Cool vibe. Support local. Good service. Clean. I was by myself and totally comfortable. Worth checking out and visiting. Don't forget to buy a bottle to go.

I have always loved coming here but was honestly disappointed on my most recent trip. Chesapeake Bay Distillery has a great atmosphere and makes very smooth spirits. In the past, I love coming for tastings because they do beats and cocktails as part of their flights. They lose a star since on this visit I found out they have significantly reduced the size of the tasting glass for the cocktails. Previously it was a shot glass amount for a neat and a cute mini cocktail for a mixed beverage. Now everything comes in the shot glass. They have changed the presentation and I found the old flight boards and glasses much better. They limit what cocktails are available for the flights as well. Still a nice experience and great liquor. I may stick to neats in the future though.

Impact: 5/5. Stellar across the board. Highlights: Amaretto Ridge & Passion Punch. Two different flavor profiles, yet superbly delightful. I even liked "Build Your Own Bloody," despite this being my least favorite cocktail. Beverages: Cocktail & Spirits flight. See above for my subjective highlights. Basically, everything Sara poured for us was great. Service: Impeccable. Both visits, about a year apart, were noteworthy because of the service. Sara, set the scene for a wonderful return this past Sunday. Fun, unique, and lively are the best descriptors for the afternoon that Sarah curated. I actually reconsidered delaying my return trip back to LA. Ambiance: Chill/industrial/coast vibe. The bar area was crowded, but pleasant during our first visit. The bar area was initially empty for our second visit, then filled up a bit with locals. Good vibes all around and pet friendly.

Started a celebratory evening with cocktail tasting at this small tasting room. It was fun choosing which cocktails to taste, choice of 4, and analyzing their flavors. We also tried a few sips of their liquors which were pretty good. Sarah, our server, and the other patrons were a fun bunch. I'll be back.
