The Norva

I've been to the Norva once before to see a sold out how with Jay Pharoah. The Big Boi show did not disappoint either. I'm a huge Outkast fan so yes. I will say that I'm not a fan of how the general admission area is laid out for events. People were spilling drinks all over the floor that made it a fall hazard and rather sticky as well. I will say the bar right as you walk in to the right was way more appealing than the one inside the actual facility. The bartender was the coolest cat ever. I'll definitely return for another event. I can appreciate the level of security and precautions they have in place as well, especially for a venue in Norfolk.Bathrooms were clean too. That's a huge plus in my book when having events and a large crowd too.

Easily the best concert venue in the 757. If it's at all someone you could be i interested in you should go. I always forget how much I love this place. I would say if you are close to the stage on the floor, go to the bathroom and get a drink or 2 (not enough to need the bathroom again) before the start because it's tough finding your way back!

This is by far one of the best venues in VA. I've been coming here since 2008. I've seen numerous bands and drank numerous drinks. This place is great because it's smaller so you really get a great experience with the bands that come play. That's how concerts should be enjoyed. Look up their schedule and if you see a band you like, buy the tickets. You won't be disappointed

First show here, came to see Teddy Swims. Not huge but good size. Went upstairs small amount of seating area near bar and you can order pizza by the slice plus drinks. Women's bathrooms plenty of stalls so no line. Ended to parking in a garage not far. Will definitely go back

Not a huge place... intimate concert experience. Place get packed quickly. People will whip out whatever they choose to smoke and light up right in the venue. Place needs more bars as well.

One of my favorite videos to see live music Beautiful building with a nice outdoor smoking section with a bar bathrooms are kept clean Sound quite is great Only complaints Would be that they should have screens to show the artist considering when the crowd is packed you cannot see the stage they also should have water stations near the bathrooms so that if you need to pull off or just take a break you can and will not overheat

Went for the Chappell Roan concert. Bought my tickets when they were $50 and found out they were selling tickets the week of for $300. I think they oversold tickets when they realized how big of a name Chappell Roan is becoming. There were bodies everywhere and people were pushing and shoving to get closer to the stage, even when there was nowhere to go. Security wasn't helpful when I was anxiously trying to get away from being pushed around by the crowd but "checked" on me when I hid in the corner by the exit waiting for my friend with the car keys to leave. I'd give 0 stars if I could and will never see another show here.

I have always enjoyed the NorVa. The selection of entertainment is very diverse. Great Venue for live music shows. The staff has always been very friendly and welcoming. Definitely going back whenever I can.

Came here to see Big Boi (awesome show!!). The venue is warehouse style, a good bar, and clean bathrooms. No seating. I liked it because it isn't a huge venue, there was plenty of room to dance and move around. Friendly and fun crowd and staff. My only complaint that it was cold, even though it was crowded, a huge fan spun all night overhead. But that's better than it being hot, so I'll take it. I hope they bring more of my favorite artist to this venue. Parking was easy, we came early and parked free on the street, yay! There are also parking lots nearby.

This is not a women friendly establishment, Me and my friends (all girls) had arrived for a concert, we had noticed the staff was only approaching all women groups and harping on them, the staff was incredibly rude to us from the girl checking tickets to every staff member inside, I would honestly never come back here again.
