Great #localspot delicious #desserts , and right next to the bakehouse. Their beer events are amazing, they get stuff from all over the world. Don't be afraid to ask for opinions or samples #winning

A top rated US beer bar . They bring in only excellent beers and the staff is knowledgeable about what they are serving. Best place in HR to learn why beer is so great. Cheeses are pretty good, too!

Anna Nuger

The beer , the cheese and charcuterie plates , grilled cheese sammiches ...I love this place, especially during 43 Hours of Dark!

Tess Davis

Beet selection is the most innovative in hampton roads . Probably one of the best beer bars in the country !

Marcus Smith

Perfectly curated list (Mikkeller , Italian microbrews , Dieu du Ciel) and a great vibe. I'd say one of the best beer bars in the US.

Great beer , but if the place is packed, you're kind of screwed. We saw a table full of kids last night. At a bar ? Kind of weird.

Capacity is very limited. No seat. No brew. No one regulating capacity at the door :(

Geebus Do

Yeah this place sucks. Shitty bar for hipsters and beer snobs.

Worst customers in the world. Somehow the coolest bar in the 757 attracts the bitchiest people.
