Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing is easily one of the best places to spend a fall afternoon in VB. The…read moreproperty 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.

Back Bay Farmhouse - Friday Night Vibes Recap Back Bay…read moreFarmhouse 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

A hidden gem in Chesapeake for sure! I personally loved my experience there at Riverview; my best…read morefriend had her wedding reception there not too long ago and it was absolutely beautiful. They have a huge event space that you can rent out for anything, and it faces out onto the water which was a gorgeous view. I also did personal training here with Sierra Meacham and for anyone looking for a personal trainer but doesn't know where to start, like I was, I highly HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sierra even just for a talk. She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals! She kept pushing me to my PRs are farther:) She is so understanding and takes every problem I had whether it was with meal-prepping or weight-lifting posture hesitancies and how to overcome. I highly recommend her but definitely reach out and check in with her! She can book up quickly because of how awesome and thorough she is with her clients!! She can also guide you through the different rooms in Riverview such as the redlight therapy and saunas and what not and the importance of them on the body physically and mentally. They also have networking nights and people with different small businesses or want to get out there with the public and socialize I highly recommend checking in when the next night is and go... it's a lot of fun 100/10 recommend!! #personaltraining #mealprep #she'llsetyoustraight! #networking

When my husband and I were dating, he took me to a WXZY lounge in Durham NC on two occasions and it…read morewas a great vibe each time. So, I was hopeful that the WXYZ lounge and bar in Chesapeake would be similar and provide a great atmosphere to get together for a fun, chill hangout with our friends. We were not disappointed. There was ample seating and a large table where we were able to share a meal and play board games. The lounge has games in the lobby area, which we weren't expecting, but was nice to see. We had brought our own games. My friend ordered a mocktail and enjoyed it. The four of us ordered chicken buffalo dip and fish and chips to share. I couldn't eat the chicken buffalo dip because I have a dairy allergy, but everyone said it was good. I did really enjoy the fish and chips. The fries were hot, thick, and well seasoned. The cod was very tasty as well, the skin was perfectly crispy but the meat was tender inside. While we didn't take pictures of the menu this time, I took a look at the menu online and there are some options listed on the website that were not printed on the physical menus we saw, but for what was the same the prices matched. The fish and chips isn't on the website but was on the physical menu and was affordable (two pieces or cod and ample fries). Our server (also the bartender) was nice and provided good service. The hours that they're open make it a great hangout spot for Friday nights and weekends. The restrooms are clean. The noise level was moderate and fine. We definitely recommend for hanging out with friends and will be coming back in the future.

After traveling all evening and getting there late, I did NOT appreciate the rude call from manager…read moreat 1AM to tell us he got complaints about us "jumping" in our room. We were all in bed and trying to sleep -- other than opening the sofa bed for my kids, we were acting normal and quiet. When I pointed this out, rather than apologize, he just hung up the phone. Also during our stay the staff barely touched our room -- including leaving dirty/used coffee cups in the room and not giving us new coffee packs for the morning. This may sound minor, but as someone who travels and uses Hyatts on a regular basis, it is not the kind of quality I expected from a Hyatt-flagged hotel. I'll be staring at one of the other Hyatts next time I'm in Norfolk.

We had to wait a little while to get a lane so we went to the bar, grabbed a drink and a snack. We ordered mozzarella sticks. They were hot and crispy and served with a yummy dipping sauce. We headed to our lane about 20 minutes after arrival. This bowling alley was set up differently than any other I'd ever seen. There were a few steps down to bowl and the tables were behind each lane. There was no seating near the lane. I ordered a chicken quesadilla which was yummy. The chicken was in some type of sauce bursting with flavor. I also tried someone's chicken wing and it was hot and delicious. It was very loud which is to be expected, plus they had a small arcade. Our server was friendly but I think a little overwhelmed as we didn't see her as frequently as I would have liked. To sum it up, Bowlero was a nice bowling alley with decent food and lots of drink options.

I don't know where to begin...I had a birthday party here and it was AWSOME!!…read moreThey were so accommodating to my request, needs, wants, wishes, etc etc etc! I rented out the venue and they catered it to my likings. I had an all white party, they had the linens and some decoration already so that saved me money right there. They have a DJ booth already equipped, a nice size bar, a nice buffet area, spacious dance floor, plenty of space to mingle and most of all their hospitality! The filipino/american food was so good and tasty. If you are looking for a place to rent you have to come here! They accommodate any type of function and events. All my guest just raved about this place. It's in a store front location but don't let that fool you because what they can transform in the inside is just wonders!

This library is beautifully decorated. I love the modern feel of it. I came here for a meeting. The…read moremeeting room was clean and spacious. Also, the temperature was perfect. Usually libraries are freezing, but I was comfortable in my hoodie. I just think this location has an awkward parking lot. It's right smack in the middle of other businesses with only a few parking spots near the front. I didn't mind the walk, but I can see how it would be a pain during inclement of weather.

I come to this library 4-5 times a week and am happy with what this library has to offer for the…read morecommunity. Ambiance: The place is nice and big, and its size is something that I did not expect when I see it from the outside. It provides plenty of seating area, tables to study/read, and the tables are prepared with plugs to be able to phones/laptops/anything that is being used by patrons coming in to this library. The library also offers plenty of computers for patrons to use, and a very nice printing area for those who need to print items. Above all, I come here often seeing many individuals use this place as a place to hang out, spend time, or even get away from situations that they are in. It provides a very safe and secure environment, and even more with an onsite security guard. They are open from 10a-8p most days, Fridays they close at 6p, and they are also open on Sundays from 1p-6p. Selection: The selection is small as compared to Chesapeake City Library, or other libraries in the Chesapeake area, but can also be considered as a pretty healthy selection of books, magazines, CDs/DVDs, and games. Service: The library does seem to be here for those in the community. They have a TV that advertises what is going on, and services they offer. I most especially like that they offer assistance with jobs for those who need it. They do advertise job fairs and have job postings available to make people aware of these opportunities. The customer service at the front desk is really great, very amicable, personable, and helpful. I am also amazed at the facial memory that some of them have that work behind the desk. They definitely seem to be here for the people. Food: Yes! There is a little cafe that serves food for those who come at a very cheap rate. Do not expect Starbucks kind of meals, but the sandwiches they prepare taste homemade and are a nice lunch to have. Usually, there is a weekly special/deal that they offer, which is usually a discounted rate of some items on their menu. The service is great as well! Very nice ladies (I have not been served by a gentleman, but there might be one working there), and they take great pride in what they do. Excellent service. I truly appreciate that this library is here for this community, and can sense that they are really here for their community.
