First time in here...I know this might be weird but wanted to check if they had any NA selection and they DO! Ok I know that's not what most folks look for in a store for beer. This place is AWESOME! Selection of a TON of canned/bottled beers! Best part is it's organized by style and the gentleman that was working was very knowledgeable. In addition to their huge selection of prepackaged beverages they also have I think 10 beers on tap. With crowlers and growler to go! Check it out! read more

This bottle store has most of what any craft beer nerd would want. They pack a lot in on there 200 square feet floor, but it is limited. They make up for it with phenomenal service. They are local which makes me happy to keep them in a rotation. I've only been to bottleBox a few times. Unless you know where it is GPS will frustrate you. It's it's off the rear of the road. Parking is free off street. My last visit I checked them out to get a rare brew I heard they had in stock. Unfortunately it sold out. The clerk apologized. I was able to find a few others to purchase. Merchandise is limited, but they have a few items. The price seems inline with chains like Total Wine. The refrigerated section is tiny, so don't expect to grab and go a cold beer. Checkout was smooth. I like the fact they are local, but at the end of the day it's inventory that wins over everything else. They do have growler fills of a few taps. read more

Man I love this place... When it comes to beer nerd, this a library! Whenever we go to Norfolk, we always have to stop by. Their beer selection is extremely well chosen. Initial impression could lead you to believe they don't have a lot. However, this place is quality vs quantity. Look closely and you'll see that the vast majority of their beers are very hard to find or from nano-breweries. I like to go here for the really delicious and unknown places that exist out there. The staff has always been super friendly and patient with my taste desires. Hands down, I will continue to stop by here every time I go to Norfolk. Do yourself a favor, ALWAYS look at their draft selection. You can tell there is a lot of effort put in to that menu and that's typically where they shine. You won't regret it! :) Food taste - n/a Overall Service - 5 Value of food to cost - 5 Facility - 5 Repeat customer? - yes Dog friendly? - no read more

Never leave disappointed or empty handed. The store is well organized and easy to navigate throughout. No matter what you're in the mood for, there's something for everyone. What makes the visit even better is that they have local beers on tap that you're able to try out before purchasing. Regardless of who is running the front register, staff are more than welcome to help with recommendations and are super friendly from the point of you entering the store to the checkout process. Glad to have a local shop like this in the area. read more

Owner was super nice and offered the best customer service. I was passing through last week and called the day before for a bunch of singles to go and he had them ready for me within 24 hours. Very polite and great conversation at pick up. Very impressive inventory for a shop like this. Highly recommend. read more

Craft beer on the go! Who wouldn't want that? Having recently discovered bottleBOX, my only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. With an ergonomic interior that's well lit, clean and easy to navigate - the whole store is small - bottleBOX offers customers both a decent selection of craft beers on tap to fill up their growlers with and shelves packed with great local craft beers, IPAs, ales, Saisons and the occasional hard cider. The beers on tap are displayed on a cool digital menu above the bar, listing their brewer, name, style and alcohol content, making drink selection effortless - no "guessing" about a beer's type based on name here. All of the prices are well marked on the shelves, and most beers are available for purchase in both individual and six-pack form. The bottleBOX employees are very smart about the local breweries - really most of the East Coast breweries in general, and they'll be more than happy to assist you in selecting a craft beer that's attuned to your tastes (or whatever you're craving in the moment). It's a laid back little beer garden that brings craft beers from all over the country to a highly receptive audience in Ghent. read more

Excellent hand picked selection. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great prices and reward program. Not a single thing to complain about. The best bottle shop in Hampton roads. Not even close. read more

I really like coming to bottleBOX for several reasons. 1. They have beer. A lot of it. Hard-to-find, delicious, craft brewery beer. An independent business supporting independent breweries. Who doesn't love that? 2. They're the nicest people you could meet. I'm not a beer snob, by any means. I don't feel like I'm walking into a place owned or managed by beer snobs. All of my questions were answered and I walked out with great recommendations that I ended up loving. 3. Free samples. They carry a variety on tap for growlers (which I haven't had yet, but plan to soon) to take home and enjoy. If you want to try something, they're happy to oblige. 4. Cool events. They partner with other breweries and businesses in the area to have unique tasting events. 5. Other goodies. They have a good selection of beer-related stuff. Snacks, beer gear, even toiletries. Weird, but totally cool for a beer-lover that is hard to find a gift for. They're worth the 5 stars. You'll definitely want to visit this place before you wander over to Total Wine or the grocery store. read more

Excellent selection of cans and bottles, growler fills and Crowley canning machine for their tap menu. Different beer varieties are separated on shelves and the selections rotate. You will always find something new and interesting here with high quality. New owner Quint knows his beer after spending time in the craft brewing industry in the area. read more

Cool little joint tucked away into a shopping mall off the Ghent thoroughfare. Great tap and bottled beer selection with cool little trinkets and accessories. Oh and SNACKS! Local flavor and just general pretty banging. Will definitely be back-prices aren't bad either. read more

bottleBOX - Board with all the beers on tap and their status - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Grand Opening TODAY (6-27-15) at noon! The first 100 customers through the door get a free 64 oz. or 32 oz. glass growler with the purchase of a fill! WOOHOO! In addition. To growler fills, they also sell bottled beer, soda, ice, some snacks, and some beer related accessories. The staff was very friendly and very fast! What I like the most about this place is that it is NOT a brewery...so you're not waiting in line behind people who are drinking on the premises...it seems as though you could be in and out in no time...YEAH! read more

If you love beer, this place is your candy store. So many beers in this store, from what's on tap to purchase (This is not a bar, this is a off-premises only retail store) to the huge selection of bottles and cans. I decided on the Hop Tart by New Belgium, and ordered a 32oz crowler (yes a crowler, basically they can your draft) of it. Price is okay for what it is. I'll update when I open the beer to make sure it was properly done, but overall, this is an awesome concept for the area, and I'll definitely be back for sure. Edit: it was canned perfectly. I drank it two days later and it tasted as if it was just off the draft. read more

This place is amazing. The owners are great people, super friendly and knowledgeable. They get to know your taste and even help you to branch out of your beer comfort zone. The beer selection never disappoints. If you are in the area, or even if you're not, check this place out when buying beer. read more

I often hang with beer people, so I need to learn about what I like so I don't embarrass myself. Besides, the craft beer scene is exploding here in Hampton Roads, and I'm all about jumping on a bandwagon when booze is involved. There is no better place to get my learning on so close to home than bottleBOX. They have 12 beers on tap for sampling, and hundreds of bottles on the shelves to make your own 6-pack. While the space is small, it's well laid out. The staff here is knowledgeable and very helpful. So far I like hefferveisens, saisons, milk stouts, and porters. Doesn't that sound more impressive then, "well my dad drinks Heineken, what's close to that?" read more

Great selection and knowledgeable staff willing to be patient with you while you taste, ask questions, browse.

Fantastic craft beer selection! You can tell they really take pride in the beers they carry and do a great job procuring the best beers they can find. They also have an awesome selection of rotating taps for growler fills. They are always willing to let you try anything on tap and even tell a cool story or two about the beers or cider! read more

What a brilliant idea! And the wall of Virginia beers was well organized (and well curated). We bought a nice amount of local beer to take home and sample in private, but I would highly recommend the beers we bought for others. Kudos on such a clean environment! read more

Great shop and service. Has an amazing selection of FRESH beers! I pick a "few" Hazy IPAs NEIPAs AlllllllllDay!

I love my craft beer friends! All of the owners are experts in the field, you can literally talk beer for hours with them, they always have a rotating tap list for growler fills and they get their hands on limited beers! Go check them out anytime and they will help you out!!!! read more

bottleBOX - BottleBOX swag - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Awesome craft beer store. 10% discounts on Virginia craft beer bottles for six pack friendly staff and knowledgeable. I would go here every week if it wouldn't be so expensive but you get good beer and you get what you pay for. read more

jenis + great beer + great staff + parking + jenis (again) + awesome selection + the nicest people how can it get better than that?? it can't. bottlebox is our go-to read more

Loved the incredibly wide selection as well as the local brew and the help from the folks there. Definitely coming back again.

A really cool shop, excellent concept and a beer connoisseur's dream. I met Dave, who is one of the owners. He seemed to be a nice guy, answered all of my questions. read more

Not a bad concept for the area. The owners know their selections and offer a decent amount of selection. It's cool they can can their own beer, but that is an extra dollar. I gave three stars because of the pricing. Even at $18 a 64oz fill that is still close to $4 a 12oz beer. Hopefully the prices drop. Honestly, Total Wine and Farm Fresh are down the street offering better deals. read more

Updated: They contacted me to make thing right. I was unable to make it back due to being out of town. I'm still not happy with what happened but they did reach out so I'm giving 3 stars So this place is normally ok. I went in a minute ago and wasn't helped for over ten minutes. I tried to get help and was ignored. I'll be going to exception ale two blocks down the street from now on. They have more on tap anyway read more

This place amazing. Went there before the games started on Sunday and got to sample some really good beers. You have the option of getting any beer on tap in a growler or they will can any beer for you. They have 12 beers on tap and a great selection of beers in bottles and cans. The staff is amazing and really know what they are talking about. It's a most stop for beer lovers. read more

I've been going to bottleBox since they opened and I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Definitely the best beer store/growler fill station I've been to. read more

This place has a great selection on tap and on the wall. They have local beers as well as some of the best beers from the west coast. Stop in and see for yourself! read more

Bottlebox is the premier destination for quality craft beer... they have a knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff that don't act like beer snobs and a live feed of all their beers on tap accessible via their website.... i walk in thinking i want one beer after some congenial conversation and a few samples I walk out with a new favorite beer... this isnt a good place to purchase your craft beer, it IS the best and only place to purchase your craft beer by the bottle or by the growler and they will fill any growler and even have the option for a custom growler-can if u so desire.... if you're not buying your beer here YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! read more

I came right at closing and they were still fully stocked. The bearded guy behind the counter let me try out all the IPAs they had on tap. I bought one I liked and they put it in a can for me. I really enjoyed coming here and the prices are right. read more

Great little beer store with taps to fill growlers aand crowlers. Free samples before commiting to a puchase. Nice but small bottle/can beer selection. Also has assorted gifts and jellies made from beer. The folks there were very nice and helpful. If in the Norfolk area, It's worth a drop by and visit. read more

Best craft beer/growler fill store I've ever been to. Amazing selection, incredible staff who are friendly and knowledgeable. My #1 choice in Hampton Roads! read more

Went to try bottleBOX for the first time today. I was excited because I had heard good things and none of the local breweries are open on Monday. As it turns out, while the store was open, the growler store wasn't filling growlers. They did have a diverse selection of individual bottled beers. First and probably last trip. Oh well. read more

BottleBOX has such a great selection of main stay and seasonal beers! Love going for their tasting nights. Nicest staff on the planet. And so knowledgable! Beers are regularly rotating, so selection is fresh. read more

Great place. They can a draft beer right there! Knowledgable but not beer snobs, great selection; supporting local and regional breweries. Friendly, smiling faces. This place will be a cornerstone for beer lovers for a long time! read more

A place and people I wish existed everywhere. What a wonderful place to get an education and try some interesting brews. In town for only a day with a touring musical and they took most of my free time. Couldn't be happier with their knowledge and service. Get yourself here! read more
