80 AMBIANCE 5/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 15/20 bytemesis (224) Sunnyvale, California | September 24, 2012 The "other" tap house, is, in my opinion, better than the Hampton version. Ambiance is great, from the bottle cap tables to the abundant out door seating. Tap list is good, bottle list quite interesting, including vertical epics back to 2007. Definitely worth a stop. | 76 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 15/20 jeremytoni (139) Swedesboro, New Jersey | September 17, 2012 Good selection of beers with some pretty good food. | 78 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 10/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 15/20 kindacold (17) Norfolk, Virginia | June 26, 2012 Great food, great beer. The selection of beer is decent, though not a lot of hard-to-find brews. Definitely good beer both on tap and in bottles.
The food is generally very good, and the ambiance is nice, except when the hipster bands play and all the fixie-riding, skinny jean wearing asshats come to order their PBR and ruin everyone’s night. When they aren’t there, I love this place. | 76 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 15/20 ekiel (10) , | February 5, 2012 Decent food, good beer selection. But, watch out for the live music. The place is too small for it. | 60 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 7/15 FOOD 5/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 13/20 smegworm (10) Alabama | February 4, 2012 Alright selection, lacking in many areas. | 76 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 6/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 16/20 jcweaver (15) VA Beach, Virginia | September 25, 2011 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. | 64 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 8/15 FOOD 6/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 13/20 beermeow (7) Virginia | January 29, 2011 the only craft beer bar in 757. thanks. keep it up...please help out the rest of the area. | 72 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 10/10 SELECTION 8/15 FOOD 6/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 16/20 dengleberry (12) Richmond, Virginia | January 28, 2011 Live music and craft beer...good start.

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. |
