Things To Do
Town Center Drive
Town Center is a great spot for shopping and restaurants. Our favorites include: Yard House, Quirks, Tupelo Honey, and Cantina Laredo.
Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing Co.
Our FAVORITE brewery in Virginia Beach. The inside has been revitalized from the original farmhouse and they have a large outdoor area where dogs and kids are welcome. Check the food truck schedule for what's available to eat.
The Shack
The Shack on 8th is an awesome outdoor bar. They have lots of different flavored crushes and games such a life size beer pong, ping pong, shuffle board, jenga, and more! This is one of our favorite bars to go to!
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant
Chris and I LOVE this place. They have a full bar (it's not just wine) and their food is delicious. Our favorite wine is the Tempranillo but they have a tasting area where you can taste up to 8 different wines! This is one of our favorite parts about going here. It's usually crowded on weekend nights so we recommend making reservations.
Navy SEAL Monument
A monument that depicts a WWII Underwater Demolition Team swimmer atop a beach obstacle, facing the ocean, gathering himself to conduct a combat mission. He is life-size, denoting that the SEAL reputation was made not by supermen, but by ordinary men who do extraordinary things for their country.
New Realm Brewing
Our second favorite brewery in the area. This also has a huge indoor/outdoor area and a good selection of beer. You HAVE to get the mac n cheese if you come here... trust us.
Beachside Social
Games, drinks, food, and fun!
Taste
A local favorite. They have the best sandwhiches!! Samantha's favorite is the Northender and Christopher's favorite is the Great Neck.
The Bee and The Biscuit
One of our favorite brunch spots. Be prepared, the wait can be long! Luckily there is an outdoor bar so you can order drinks while you wait for your table.
Chick's Oyster Bar
An all time favorite for seafood overlooking the water.
Gringo's Taqueria
This hole in the wall Mexican restaurant is one our favorites in Virginia Beach! Everything is good!! Gringo's also shares a building with two other local favorite spots: Back Bay Brewing Company and Zeke's Beans and Bowls! We highly suggest all three of these spots!
Sawdust Road
Chris loves the pour over coffee and Sam loves the breakfast tacos. It's right behind our venue too!
Mermaid Winery
We love the wine flights and cheese board!
The Porch on Long Creek
We love this tucked away chic restaurant on the water. They have great drinks and food!
The Cavalier Virginia Beach, Autograph Collection
We love the Tarnished Truth Distillery Tour and Tasting and then having dinner at The Hunt Room.
First Landing State Park 64th St Entrance
Seashore State Park is one of our favorites! Once you enter the gates, drive about a mile back to the main parking area.
Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center
A family favorite!
Waterman's Surfside Grille
A local's favorite known for their orange crushes!
Three Ships Coffee Roasters
Fantastic coffee and breakfast sandwhiches!
Commune
This is another awesome breakfast and brunch spot. Everything is locally sourced and seasonal. Waits may be long here as well since the inside of the restaurant is pretty small so be prepared to wait! But it will be 100% worth it!!
