Riff House Pub

I went to this bar last night. I was charged for drinks that I did not have bartender. Does not know how to pay her customers attention.And when I brought my tab to her attention, she got real argument of

Great bartender, she's comical!! Definitely a great spot to hang out during the week since it's not too crowded.

Went there for the first time Sunday 12/5/21 to listen to some music. Had some beers and appetizers. Food was served fast, was hot, and well cooked. Restaurant area appeared clean. The area where the bands played is in the back and was ok. The bathroom (male) had a broken urinal wrapped in a plastic bag and another urinal that seemed unable to empty so after a bit urine was all over the floor and being tracked out into the hall and dance floor. The single toilet bowl appeared to be functional although I was afraid it too might overflow so did not use. My friend went outside in some trees to relive themselves I think. Outside porch area was used mostly by smokers during song breaks. Rustic, but ok. Once the bathroom gets sorted it will be an ok place..... provided your not asking for too much.

If you are not a "regular" or with someone who knows someone, this is not the place for you. If you like a stale smelling place, with horrible service and a rude staff... This is definitely the place for you. Went to see a friends band play Fri night. They were supposed to start at 9 but I guess were running a little late. I brought some friends with me to enjoy the show, so catching up with them was the highlight of the night. I walked to the bar area to get some drinks and the bartender made eye contact with me at least 5 times but left me standing there for more than 10 mins. I asked for several different drinks, in which she "couldn't" make.. I was a bit baffled because I was at a bar after all. All of the staff seemed incredibly rude and again, if you are just a random person walking in, you "aren't welcomed" with a nice greeting. This place is in the South Norfolk area and the neighborhood it is in isn't the greatest. The regulars seemed to all be more of an emo/goth style. Everyone also looked very young. They didn't check ID's when we walked in or when I ordered drinks. There was zero security on site either. "Staff is very entertaining, and prompt" is a joke too.. I will definitely not ever be back here nor do I recommend it to anyone unless you are under age and looking for a place to drink. I am sure VABC would have a field day here.

If you like to Dive this is the place! Cheap, Smokey and fun!!! I love dive bars and this is a great one!

I love the attitude! Ya wont find a single Karen in this joint. Good place to chill.

We love coming here, one of the last places to listen to live hard rock and metal bands. Food is on point and the staff is friendly and on top of things. Good open floor space and a non smoking section closed off from the bar area where the smokers are. Prices are very reasonable. Security is on site to ensure everyone's safety when there are larger crowds.

Do not come here unless you want trouble it ain't worth your while. Management is rude it's basically a crappy bar with nothing going on don't waste your money her just go to the abc store and do what you got to do.

Great service from the waitress in outside seating. Great local company and an awesome cheeseburger. They have a great selection of food, everything's been good so far

Best place in Chesapeake to have a beer at by far. Great food, great drink prices, relaxing atmosphere, great bartenders! The bands are amazing too!
