Visited this place a few months ago while in town with family. Great atmosphere and definitely a cozy vibe. They have a solid beer selection and definitely geared toward the local brewers. The staff was very knowledgeable and eager to assist with recommendations. Don’t miss the food - it’s worth a stop even if you weren’t planning to drink!

Classy place on the south end of the Ghent neighborhood in Norfolk, my favorite bit of the town. Most people stop in here for mixed drinks, but the tap list is very solid and worth a look. Almost entirely locals, a great change from downtown. Good food and bar snacks.

No idea what that GypsyHead guy is talking about - good tap list, all O’Connor beers are here and a lot more, nice bottle list and excellent food. Our server was also very good. Dig the atmosphere too. A tad spendy, but overall worth it.

The decor is fine and it’s a decent enough atmosphere at first glance, but then the menu literally slaps you in the face, insulting you for thinking your $11 hamburger would include fries or any kind of side. And when you walk in to see the gorgeous 20+ taps laid out, you think you’re in for something special... Then you look at the beer board... Displaying only 4 beers... And you wonder what’s going on. Then the waiter tells you that’s the tap menu, and you get excited because it definitely says Rochefort 8, though it’s all hard to make out. So when he brings you a bottle and a tumbler glass to pour it into, you just kinda lose all hope. If only I were a whiskey man, because the only thing this place has going is it’s hard-a selection. Then the food comes out, and you were hoping to eat your sandwich like... A sandwich, but instead they’ve laid a thick slice of meat all the way across the bread, no slicing, no dicing, no means of easy ingest, so you’re forced to break out a fork and knife on your "reuben with thinly sliced corned beef" and face the utter humiliation. At least it’s actually a really tasty sandwich, though it’d be really nice to have more than a few apple slices as a side.
