Decent food, good beer selection. But, watch out for the live music. The place is too small for it.

Alright selection, lacking in many areas.

Decent food, good beer selection, live music, and friendly staff. A great place and one of the first to promote craft beer in the area.

Great place to grab a brew with some friends but they have shows on the weekends so make sure you are prepared to pay a cover or come during the week!

The wife and I went to the Outer Banks this past weekend and flew into Norfolk before driving down. We visited Taphouse Grill at Ghent last night as we were in town for the evening only to get a hotel room before flying out this morning. We read reviews here on Beer Advocate prior to our visit so we knew what we were up for. I must say, we were not disappointed. The food was much better than your traditional bar fare, especially for a place that is such a "hole in the wall". The service was very good at the bar. It looked like the service was a bit slow at the tables so I would recommend sitting at the bar. The beer selection was very solid with some stuff that’s usually not available in bars. Between the two of us we drank the following on draft: Hop Rod Rye, Duchesse De Bourgogne , Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Jack and Ken’s Ale, St. Bernardus Pater 6, New Belgium Trippel and Trois Pistoles. Not too shabby. Most definitely not a selection you’d find here in Southwest Florida. They probably have about 20 beers on tap as well as an extensive selection of bottles. I had read elsewhere online that they used to carry Westvleteren 12 from time to time but no luck last night. My wallet will probably thank me for that anyway. I would highly recommend checking out the Taphouse Grill at Ghent if you are ever in the Norfolk area. We will definitely return if we ever happen to visit the area again.

Stopped here while i was in town on business. It was a great joint with lots of young folks in it. I think i was the only person in the bar that didn’t have a tattoo or dyed hair...very hipster. Met a few nice folks though. The beer was good, they had alot of local beers on tap and changed a tap for me so i could have a beer that i wanted listed on their menu. The food looked good and i shared some crab dip. I will defiantly go back here next time i am in town, but if the hipster crowd bothers you stay out once the sun goes down.

From the street you would never know this place is a bar. I know the first time I went to visit, I passed it right up. Parking is minimal and can be a real pain sometimes. Number of beers on draft is nice and varied but whenever I order from the beer list there is at least 3 or 4 beers they don’t have. They don’t keep it updated to well. Food is pretty good. Service can be slacking sometimes. They don’t come around for long periods of time to check if you need something. They also don’t split up checks. So bring money.or be prepared to fork over for the whole table if you have some people with you.

Not much in the way of anything going on the few times I’ve been there. The food was decent, but the place is obviously there for the beer. A somewhat decent selection, but the staff/manager didn’t seem as knowledgeable about beers outside of what they strictly carried unfortunately. The waiter we had on two of the nights was somewhat rude and (for some reason) a bit hurried with very few patrons. I was pretty disappointed with my visits and am still searching for a great beer bar in the Hampton Roads region.
