Hands down the best cidery in the area. Went here on a whim on what turned out to be a very important occasion (Ryan's Day), and stayed for much longer than anticipated. The location is a laid back and comfortable farmhouse with great outdoor seating and a smooth indoor draft service. Awesome selection of both draft beers and, most importantly, cider. No misses from what I ordered- and I ordered quite a bit. The bartenders know their craft and are great conversations. Good dudes. The owner is a lad as well. 10/10 experience, and will definitely be returning soon and often. -KC read more

Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewery delivered such a great experience. The service was awesome too, great personalities in there!! The orange crush IPA was incredibly smooth and easy to enjoy, and the strawberry rhubarb seltzer, while a bit sweet for my taste, was still delicious. The atmosphere was immaculate. There was live music, a few local vendors set up, and everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. It felt like one of those places where the energy makes the drinks taste even better. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing is easily one of the best places to spend a fall afternoon in VB. The property itself is gorgeous. The brewery is a restored 1912 farmhouse sitting on acres of open land, with plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables, and fire pits scattered around. There's always something happening here. Food trucks daily, beer trucks, and yard games like cornhole and bocce ball keep things fun/ The space is super dog-friendly and great for groups or families. I came this day with my friend and her kids and they had a blast playing with all the other kids outside. When it comes to drinks, they do not disappoint. They brew both beer and cider, and the variety means there's something for everyone. My seasonal favorite is the Witch of Pungo Pumpkin Ale. It's smooth, balanced, and packed with just the right amount of fall flavor. Enjoying one of those by the fire pits as the sun goes down is about as perfect as it gets. The bartender was super kind, letting me sample a few different beers before choosing. Whether you're meeting up with friends, bringing the family, or just want to unwind outdoors with a good drink, this spot hits the mark every time. read more

Back Bay Farmhouse - Friday Night Vibes Recap Back Bay Farmhouse absolutely understood the assignment for a perfect Friday night. The whole place was buzzing with energy--vendors everywhere, live line dancing, local desserts, fresh produce, and even homemade ice cream stations. It felt like a summer fair with a bougie twist. Lexi made her grand entrance in a new dress gifted from the TikTok Shop and the crowd went wild--everyone was stopping us to compliment her look. You already know she was eating it up. ‍ We strolled, we snacked, we danced (okay, we watched the dancing), and soaked up the good vibes. This location was packed, but it never felt chaotic. Just community, joy, and really good eats. Add it to your list--you don't want to miss a Farmhouse Friday night! #BackBayFarmhouse #FarmhouseFridays #TikTokEvents #LexiTheBougieBT #SummerNights #FarmToVibe #LocalLove #BougieAndBlessed read more

Want to note here that am reviewing Back Bay's as the host venue for today's 757 Mabuhay event - which gets better and better each time with more Filipino owned businesses showcasing their craft (candles, baby attires, etc), pastries (donuts, cupcakes, macaron, etc) and talent (music, dance, entertainment). There are food trucks for lechon, bowls, shaved ice, etc. Parking, however, is left to be desired. read more

Great place to come together friends and family love the spot heard it was closing next year I hope not

So to start, Back Bay Farmhouse Brewing Co. was not what I expected in a good way.  For one it literally is a farmhouse, surprise surprise surprise.  There is a super amount of room outside, with food trucks, activities, cabanas, a firepit, etc.  Good for the kids or fur kids, although dogs are not aloud inside the farm house because of licensing. They have an upstairs and downstairs bar, but on this occasion the downstairs was the only one open.  The line gets long, but with 3 servers the wait wasn't too long.  You can start a tab.  Wish they has an app so that you could just pre order and pick your beer up instead of standing in line. Still... the place it hot, hot, hot!!!! I loved the chill vibe of the upstairs lounge and the air was quite comfortable.  A minus for me is they serve the beer in plastic cups, but with the hundreds of guest they had that day, glassware doesn't seem feasible.  They do have beers to go.  So winning!!!! The BEER: Studio Farmhouse black IPA 6.7% ABV... started with this one.  I love black IPAs.  This one did not disappoint. Horchata Dubbel Belgian ale 7.5% ABV... Great cinnamon Belgian goodness. Loved it! The Legend of Rice Japanese rice Lager 5% ABV... reminded me of a better tasting Bud. Liked it. There are two locations that have their beer.  This is the better of the two locations. read more

Adorable brewery! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Loved getting to enjoy being outdoors and the rustic aesthetic.

Not close to home but worth the visit! Really enjoyed the actual farm house packed with cool spots inside and out. Great beer selection at affordable rates doesn't hurt either. Farm house hefe was delicious! Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and restrooms onsite. When the weather is nice, you can't beat a brew outside with family or friends here. read more

This is such a fun place to enjoy an afternoon or evening with friends. Back Bay's Farmhouse located on Kempsville Road in the heart of Virginia Beach has plenty of activities, oftentimes with live music and an overall fun atmosphere. They offer excellent craft beers and they usually have several food trucks on site if you're looking for something to eat while you're enjoying your adult beverages. They have plenty of activities for the kids as well as the adults. Check out Back Bay's Farmhouse, you'll be glad that you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local business community. read more

Super cute spot! Busy, but the whole place has so much space that it didn't feel crowded. Awesome beers, easy to get. The food truck that was there today was BBQ and it was some of the best we have EVER had!! 100% recommend coming here with friends and their dogs. Love the vibe here. read more

Went here for an evening trivia night with my friend. We were so excited to try this place but unfortunately it fell flat & we didn't stay long at all. The parking was insane (we thought this was a good thing) but the part of the lot we were able to park in was flooded, very pot hole enthusiastic & certainly NOT small car friendly. We both drove suv with four wheel drive which is the only reason why my car didn't get stuck there. Trivia was kind of chaotic. It wasn't generalized, so it was super random trivia which just wasn't fun. The speaker wasn't very engaging either. The out door seating is plentiful though, lots of pic nic tables. Inside is very small and crowded. Super long line for a limited and sub par drink menu. We both ended up throwing our drinks away because they were Luke warm, lacked flavour and were just flat. She had a cider and I had a sour. They only offer ciders & I believe beer. No cocktails or wine. Staff was uninterested in offering any kind of help with recommendations. Upstairs "library room" is cute. Bathroom is located upstairs across the balcony. Single stall. Overall we want to try the coffee portion of this house but the evenings we will be avoiding at all cost. We left in under 30 minutes and went to Kelly's tavern across the street. read more

Back bay brewing is a Marc Leishman owned place that we frequently visit when we're in the area. I think the options are quite solid -- probably the only lager that I would say is memorable. The one downside is that the farm may be a little quiet so it may not be conducive to larger groups. But then again, it has a charm of its own so if you're looking for a different type of beer-night out, I'd recommend it. read more

This is such a cute place! They have a ton of outdoor space and nice indoor spots. The beer is also really good. We'll definitely be back!

I had an amazing time at this place with my co-workers. The aesthetic was wonderful--a beautiful building with traditional and elegant decor. The staff was super pleasant and welcoming. The drinks were excellent; I had the Apple Blossom Cider that was absolutely delicious. I recommend sitting indoors as it's very hot in the summer, and drinking in the heat doesn't mix well. When it's cooler, I think the outdoor seating would be great. I will definitely come again. read more

Driven by plenty of times but never been although have tried to make it out to an event or two. Went last night for their last line dance night of the summer which may explain why it was so crowded as I overheard many people say that they are not usually this crowded. Lines for the beer was long but I did find a couple I like so there was the plus. By the time we went in line for one more round not much at all. I tried their cider, pineapple mango seltzer, and their NA root beer. All were so good! I tasted my friend's sangria which I didn't see when I was looking at their menu last night but I really liked it. Will have to try a sangria if they have it next time I go. There were a couple of food trucks. One was barbecue truck and the other was Mockingbird Pasta Bar which I wrote a review dor as well. Lots of places to sit as well as places to put out chairs or blankets. The middle part of their larger field was the dance "floor". Bathrooms were clean and when its chilly they have a fireplace as well. They had a few vendors too which was nice. Only thing is parking...if you don't get there early, you park in the parking lot by the Walmart (same plaza as McDonald's, Sundae Scoop, etc). I just dont like that there is no cross walk or light there so if you have small kids, be careful because you are crossing Kempsville Road. Nice place to hang, drink, converse, and dance if they have it that night. Lots of events on the weekends. Can't wait to go again! read more

This is such a great place to spend sometime outdoors, especially if you have kids. I went there with my family and a few friends who also have kids for a Halloween special event. There was tons of outdoor picnic tables and a few firepit areas. There's plenty of space for kids to play while parents have a few beers and food. There was a special market going on while we were there, where local artisans were selling goods like soaps, candles, jewelry, etc. It was a nice market to walk around for a little while. There was also a nice selection of food trucks, we were able to get awesome Filipino food from Lumpia King. The beer was good and the atmosphere was fun, so I would definitely recommend this for families. read more

I came here last night with my husband and we made our way to the bar and grabbed a couple of Dubbel Belgians. It's a very cool spot with a lot of space offered. It was a chilly & windy night so they had the tent up with a live musician playing plus a couple of fires going and food trucks open! Definitely wished there were heat sources of some kind in the tent, as I know this is possible from going to other breweries in the colder months. The bar staff was super friendly and willing to answer questions and offer opinions. My husband had the stout and I had the orange crush IPA as our second round. Also delicious! The ambiance is definitely on the louder end and there was a very rambunctious crew within the bar area, none of which were ever corrected for being too loud. I mean at least allow other people to sit at tables and have conversations without you acting like a drunk teenager. Huge eye roll there. There was a birthday party going on upstairs so that room was occupied, but we actually managed to sit in the annexed "library" room because no one was in it. Definitely offered more of a conversation opportunity (though we weren't sure if that particular room was actually reserved, as there were no signs! Sorry if we crashed your party a bit!) One of the couches downstairs finally cleared and we sat next to the fire and that room was awesome. So, we feel we definitely got to experience the house for what it was. We would return here again in the summer to chill outside and play yard games. Beer is good and staff is friendly! Also, to comment on other reviews, they actually have 2 locations; one on Kempsville Rd and the other on Norfolk Ave. So, the address isn't technically incorrect, you just have to know which business it's listed as on Yelp. They must have also changed the volume of alcohol served, as previous comments reveal the lack of pour. They filled ours to the brim!! read more

I will say this is a nice little place to have a few drinks with friends and family and who knows after a few of their drinks you might make new friends and start a family. Same thing can be said about losing them as we know how some get when they get that liquid courage in them. I admit I am not a beer drinker but I do enjoy a good cider. Some don't consider cider to be a beer but luckily they offered a few cider selections prepared in house. I had to admit it was pretty tasty. Not too sweet and far from being dry but I know many of you have your own personal tastes when it comes to what you are looking for in your sudsy sip. One piece of advice I will offer when visiting here. If you decide to invite a large group there are places you can sit inside but outside in the middle of summer her in VA Beach it gets hot. Plenty of places to sit outside but you will be constantly shifting with the sun. Water is provided for hydration for people and our pets. As for food choices on my visit there were a few food trucks out there to balance out the drinks. Not a bad spot to visit as the local breweries seem to be constantly growing in this area giving a craft beer option. Surely one of the breweries will hit the spot and this could be one of them. read more

A brewery that does Valet? I have never in my life seen that before. Not sure if they offer that every day but we visited on a Friday afternoon and they had it running. We had 40 minutes to kill before an event and decided to try out this place for the first time. We didn't spend a a lot of time there but my husband did have one of their IPA's and enjoyed it. I'm happy that they offer non-alcoholic drinks but also wine and mimosas. They have large beautiful grounds with tons of sitting areas as well as places inside to sit. Inside is also where you can grab your drinks! Can't wait to go back and drink/hang out here more! read more

Back Bay's Farmhouse is my new favorite spot for get-togethers and hang-outs. We came on Labor Day for mid-day drinks and games. The location is fantastic. They have tons of outdoor space, including tented areas, private gazebos that you can reserve, and space for games like cornhole. They also often have food trucks, but they also seem to have a food menu with a few options. We started inside the Farmhouse at a gorgeous, antique table. Their cider is fantastic and so is the Orange Crush IPA. We ended up spending most of the time outside, which was perfect. read more

Great beer, fun outdoor space with lots of room for kids to run around and play. All their markets and events are worth going to

I have mixed reviews because I came during on a cold, rainy day and had a dog with me. Cons: 1. Dogs are not allowed in the main house. 2. They do not offer flights. 3. The outdoor tent was torn up and not heated. 4. Beer was a little more expensive than expected. Pros: 1. Pretty cool ambiance, but it was rainy and had to wait outside with my dog. 2. There's a ton of outdoor space to hang with your friends. 3. Had a food truck on-site. read more

Great brewery to hang out with friends and grab a beer! Here you will find plenty of space outside to sit, hangout, catch up with friends and play a few outdoor games. It's a great space. Inside the house you can find the wines on the left side and the beers on the right. They have a good selection that changes and they brew all their beer themselves. If you are hungry they have food trucks right outside by the tables where you can grab some food. The food trucks change daily so you can check their schedule to see what's avail that day. We've been here quite a few times already. Definitely a great local brewery to check out! read more

I took my husband here after a few recommendations. It was his birthday and he wanted to take me out but I wanted him to have fun, and the day be about him. So after dropping the kids off to the sitter, we beelined right to here! Parking was not the easiest. It was definitely a bit of a struggle cause most of the parking lot was for Valet. But we don't mind parking a ways out and walking. As the name states you pull in and there is a beautiful house and many tented areas to hang out and eat. There is a large lawn where you can bring your own seats and hang out with your kids and pets if you'd like. There is a tomahawk throwing areas right as you walk up too! We started off by going into the farmhouse and ordering beers. I noticed it looks like all beers are $7 for a plastic cup of beer. My husband and I tried several beers throughout the night for 8 beers total plus tipping money, we spend around $70. Very pricey IMO, but we knew it wasn't going to be cheap and we love supporting small businesses. After a couple beers we were hungry, so we wandered over to the only food truck left, "Miki's Dog House," and they were very busy. Super long line and the wait for ordering the food and then waiting for it was around an hour but very worth it. Then we spent around $55 for 3 burgers, fries, onion rings, and they threw in some corn dog nuggets which was a great surprise. Our dinner was made fresh to order and was hot and everything was crispy and delicious and very satisfying! After we ate we decided to throw some axes, and for first timers we did pretty well! We received a quick rundown and for $20 we could each throw an axe 5 times. Other than the fact that I at one point almost kilt meself, due to the axe bouncing back to my feet, it was really fun and we'd love to do it again! I'm a two handed thrower while my husband is a one handed thrower, next time I'll attempt one hand. We brought chairs with us but never used them cause we ended up sitting under the covered tables which we were drawn to because of the pretty lights they have hung all around! It really gave a nice ambiance to the night. We stayed until close which is 10pm, and decided that we will definitely come back again but due to the prices of beer it will definitely be for special occasions and not very often. read more

I like Farmhouse. I really do. But my attempted visit earlier this evening left me very angry. I'll preface this by saying that a reason I really love Farmhouse is that it allows us to spend time together as a family. There's plenty of open space for our little girl to roam while my husband and I enjoy some very needed time to relax (as much as one can relax while also following said little girl like a hawk). So with a beautiful evening ahead and a good food truck on the docket, we decided to head to Farmhouse tonight. We got there at 5:30 to find that no less than half of the parking was designated valet only. Previously, a much smaller percentage of the parking lot was for use by the valet. Neither my husband nor I carry cash on the regular. And I refuse to park across the street and walk with my toddler across a very busy Kempsville road at rush hour. After circling the lot twice, we gave up and went home. I'm hopeful that they're only doing this on Fridays, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth and the desire to take my money elsewhere. So if the intention is to give the Farmhouse staff another way to pocket some change, they're costing themselves business in the process. I hope they reconsider their decision to reserve such a large chunk of their lot for valet. It will be quite a long time before I reconsider going back. read more

Nice place to have a beer or two. or three. Mimosas always slap with their multitude of flavors. Nice place also to sit down near the fire and grab nice food from food trucks.

In 2018, the family Farmhouse in Virginia Beach, VA was established as a local brewery. And they have been running the block every since! Ok, I must admit I'm not a big drinker but I absolutely love to kick back and chill at Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing Co! The environment is kid friendly, the staff is cool, and they have the best honey lavender mimosas! During COVID they set up the igloo tents and they have fire pits for customers to chill at during the winter months. Also, the Farmhouse partners with a variety of local food trucks and vendors to come through daily to serve their customers. Check out their event page to see who will be on site each day. This weekend they had an Oyster Fest and Oyster Catcher Sea Farms came through shucking the fresh oysters. And Outer Banks Boil Company bar-b-que sandwiches were on point. Somebody got a pig farm near them because that pork was making it do what it do. I'm going to make my way over there soon to grab a take home seafood pot! read more

What a great place to indulge on a beautiful summer night. A wide lot of land with a farmhouse (of course), seating, and games. Came by with friends for the food truck festival & we got here right around 5pm and it was getting packed already! If you want a seat, definitely arrive on time or even early. Also saw people bringing in blankets & chairs to relax on. There's valet & self serve parking. Valet is free, but tips welcomed. I love their use of the farmhouse with indoor seating and bars. Outdoor seating is also available with the cutest little rocking seats/table + other picnic tables with umbrellas & a fire pit with chairs around it. Thoroughly enjoyed my first time here! Almost forgot it was even a weekday until an employee was asking us to leave, LOL. Only negative is employees aren't too keen to making their presence known or saying excuse when reaching all the way across you to collect empty drink glasses. There's cornhole and a closed off seating area in front of the farmhouse that seems available to rent. Great outdoor fun, food, and relaxation with friends! read more

Built in a century old farmhouse, Back Bay's second location has become a must-go spot for beer lovers on the South side of Hampton Roads. This is for good reason. As an outdoor venue to appreciate perfect Sunday afternoon weather, huddle up by the fire pit with some friends, or stretch out on the front lawn and listen to local live music, Farmhouse can't be matched. Spacious grass lawn, picnic tables, bocce ball, Cornhole, and two giant fire pits on the outside, with an exquisite turn of the century manor on the inside, Farmhouse feels like a family picnic reunion filled with hazy afternoon laughter and stories you tell to younger generations. Every visit to the Farmhouse is an experience. So let's talk about the beers. I won't say that every beer is a winner, but I've never been here at a time when they didn't have at least one or two that weren't stunning. Orange crush is a long time favorite IPA with great citrusy fruit notes without a whole lot of bitterness. The Monarch IPA is to die for and would be a great gateway drug for anyone looking to get into this fan favorite craft beer. Meanwhile the 757 lager is light, crisp and extremely refreshing. If you are in the Indian River area of Va Beach and you love craft beer, Farmhouse is a no brainer. read more

Despite some of my friend's musings about this place "looking like a plantation" (which to be honest- it kind of does) I've been waiting for a brewery to open up close to my house. I've tried most of the beers-including one made with beets, which at first tasted great, and seems to be overbearing if you get a full glass. The space to walk around, chill, or play games is open enough so it doesn't seem to feel crowded to me. Food Trucks are around in case you get hungry, and watch out for the Oatmeal Stout a few of those and it's night night for you. read more

So far, this place is STUNNING! From the passionate and friendly staff to the unique and absolutely delicious beers, you just can't lose! Kempsville NEEDS this place! We have been so excited for this location to open! The refurbished farm house makes a wonderful brew pub that is like no other. The sprawling property and awesome landscaping make for a breathtaking view from the porch - as if the porch itself wasn't attractive enough. They grow their own hops, the fruit and veg that are used in their beers (or it's hyper-local) and they do NOT have the unreasonable prices for the high quality you get. I am so excited to be here for the soft opening and will share lots of photos and feedback!! read more
