FIREBREW Bar & Grill

We had dinner recently at FIREBREW Bar & Grill located at 1253 Nimmo Parkway in the heart of Virginia Beach.They have a great menu lineup and the service is great. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender. Our food came out quickly. We had a great experience here!

Firebrew Bar & Grill is located in the Red Mill Landing Shopping Center. They are near the corner of General Booth Blvd. and Nimmo Pkwy. You can enter the shopping center from Nimmo Pkwy at the first right after the intersection. There is an apartment complex behind them and CVS is next door to the shopping center. My most recent visit here was on December 24, 2024.Parking can be a bit dicey in the shopping center. Most of the parking spaces near the restaurant are for compact cars only. I don't see many compact cars out there (my car happens to be compact), and those with the bigger vehicles park there anyways. Each one of those vehicles takes up at least two parking spots, and in some cases. four parking spaces. There are non-compact parking spaces further back, so those larger vehicles should park there instead.Every time I have been here, the restaurant has been well maintained, both inside and outside. They do have outdoor seating, but it does become heated covered seating during the winter season.When I come in, I usually ask for Hannah. She's been our server several times here and we have had a good connection when it comes to eating here. She knows what I usually get when I visit, though I do change things up a bit at times. As for the menu, they have quite the drink menu, as well as a wine bar. The food menu is changeable. There are several items, usually those on the Seasonal Delights portion of the menu, that will change with the seasons.I had a birthday coupon, so that's what brought me in on this latest visit. I've always had great experiences each time I have been here. I just hadn't been in for a while, along with other places as I was getting some medical issues in order. Now that I have that under control, I have been able to get back into visiting different places again. I also had a free appetizer coupon for purchasing a gift card recently. Within the past year or so, they changed their rewards program so that it's not something just through Messenger now. The new rewards program has a similar setup to many other places where you earn points for purchases and can get a coupon after reaching a certain point threshold.Since this was during my birthday month, I had some foods that I normally don't eat, as I have been in diabetic remission for about 18 months and counting. With the free appetizer, I went with the soft pretzels. I only did water for a drink. When it came time to order, I went with the Full Rack of BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs. They didn't have green beans as an option on this visit, so I went with the baked potato wedges instead. My mom went with the Creamy Potato Soup (soup of the day) and the Potato & Cheddar Pierogis appetizer.Shortly after ordering the entrées, the soft pretzels with beer cheese dip came out to the table. Those pretzels were soft and fulfilling. The beer cheese dip was a great complement to the pretzels. Did the pretzels spike my blood sugar? Yes, but it was so good.The main courses came out pretty quickly. I hadn't even finished the pretzels yet when they came out. They have always been fast though in my experiences. The ribs looked really good and it was time to eat. The ribs were fall off the bone good. This is one of my favorite entrée items here. The baked potato wedges were really good too. My mom loved the soup and the appetizer she got as the entrée. I did not go for any desserts though.Overall, this has been another great experience here. The food and service have been on point. Make sure to join their rewards program if you haven't done so already. If you're looking for a nice local place for lunch or dinner, this place is worth checking out.

Ryan is AMAZING!! The food was delicious too!!Pricing is very fair. Portions are ample!!Service is always fantastic!!

Stopped in again to try Firebrew again. We started off with steakbites and the cranberry bread. The steakbites were cooked very well and quite tasty. The cranberry bread was very good, but the oil and balsamic really didn't go well with it. If this was served with sweet cream butter with flake salt it would be awesome! My son had the steak salad which was very good and my wife and daughter had the bacon wrapped shrimp. They both enjoyed their meal. I had the bourbon pork chop which was quite flavorful but was very over cooked. Again, the star of this meal was Aaliyah. She was extremely personable and friendly all while training a new member of the Firebrew team. She was knowledgeable of the menu and had great suggestions for wine and food. I'm not sure where the owner is getting the staff from, but they are wonderful!

The food was awesome. Our waitress was very attentive. The food came out pretty fast. It has a sports bar vibe but still. Family friendly environment. I would definitely return again.

With an ambiance that reminds you of a wood fire grill kitchen, it holds everything you need for friend, family and solo dining. The food choices peak any interest, and the staff is always inviting and willing to help or answer any question you have. My favorite feature is the wine bar. 24 selections with a wine card. A great time for any occasion.

We chose this location on the recommendation of a close friend. I'm so glad we stopped in! The inside is warm and comfortable with booths, bar seating and high tables. We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp and the pierogi appetizers, both delicious. For entree my husband ordered the dipper sandwich and I ordered the south side flatbread. We're visiting from the Chicago metro area. The Italian beef in the sandwich could not have been done better. Tender and flavorful as any I've ever had. My flatbread was so good! We had wanted dessert but couldn't even eat another bite. The service was attentive and cheerful. If we lived here we would be repeat customers! Can't wait to visit Virginia Beach again!

Firebrew bar and grill was great. Came during there lunch hours andnthey have a pretty good special where 2 can eat for 15 each. The food selction was really good as well. This is my first time here and i choose to get the kal pesto chicken flatbred pizza in which i thought was delicious. Before the main course i had an appetizer pretzelnwhichbwas also delicious. The course inteciever included a garden salad with a basamic vingerette. The vingertte was flavorful. In addition to my i had the firebrew old fashioned. Which very well made and constructed cocktail. Not as strong as i am use to but good. Finally, calped off with a littl desert. Which was coolie dough ice cream and cheesecake with raspberry drizzle. All very delicious. The waitres was ver attentive and nice delivered everything expdiently. Only reason the rating was not higher was due to under cooked chicken that was delivered to the table. They rectified the matter by cooking a new batch to go.I would definitely give them another try and see if we can bump that rating up.But overall. Goodbjob.

My husband and I recently tried Firebrew Bar & Grill after hearing several recommendations. We decided to visit during happy hour, so our review is based on that experience. We arrived early on a Friday evening and were seated right away. Unfortunately, as I was being seated, I slipped on the wet floor due to rainwater tracked in from outside. The hostess noticed but didn't offer much assistance, and the floor wasn't cleaned up afterward.Our server greeted us promptly, but we needed a little time to decide on our order since it was our first visit. Once we were ready, we had to wait for the server to return, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. We also found the seating in the booths to be a bit cramped, with our feet and legs constantly bumping into each other.We ordered two appetizers, taking advantage of the $2 off happy hour deal: the blackened tuna bites and the soft pretzels. The food arrived fresh and was reasonably flavorful, with decent portion sizes.Overall, while the food and atmosphere were okay, I wouldn't say it left a lasting impression. It's a nice place to try once, but not somewhere I would necessarily return to.

Dean and his staff are always very helpful. We tried two of their pizzas with toppings we normally would not order. It's very eclectic and they were delicious. It works really well for the size and price. They are smaller than traditional pizza. The environment is pretty nice as well. They also have various wines and plenty of parking,
