    This place just opened and it's a great spot to hang out and have some drinks with friends. They have 48 taps and a solid bar-food menu with fries, wings, and flatbread pizzas. I ordered the bang bang shrimp, and they were really good. It's $10 to get in, which gives you unlimited games, making it well worth it. We had a lot of fun, and I'll definitely be coming back.

    Draftcade is a cool arcade bar in town center in Virginia Beach! It's connected to the funnybone comedy club and has a lot of drafts as the name implies. Like I can't even imagine the memory the bartenders should have to figure out which one is which. The cocktails are pretty cheap and the pours are pretty hefty. Food isn't too bad looking, and a decent price. The games are pretty retro and can't go wrong with playing skee ball and basketball.

    $10 for a whole day of play seems unreal! Loved the vibes and they played loads of great music. Did not get a chance to try any beers on draft but they have a very large selection that I will be going back to try. As for foods, it is what you would expect for a bar type area with small finger food options. I am definitely coming back to set the high score on Dr. Mario!!

    Bar arcade (Barcade) concept with lots of old school video games and 20+ draft beer taps. Grand opening offer is for $10 unlimited games. Got an Allagash White (#17) for $8+tax. Lots of bar counter seating and low top tables and chairs. Private party room in the back. HDTVs advertising Funny Bone comics. Restrooms in the back.

    Pretty fun arcade with alot of classic games. Parking is a bit tight so you can find parking off by Target and walk over. We had a couple ciders, shot some hoops and played alot of classic cab games. I think the calibration was off on their ski ball machines but it was still fun. Would definitely recommend for that older crowd who grew up with games in the early 80s. I wish they had at least classic DDR and Gauntlet. That would of totally completed my night.

    Love the concept, not a fan of the execution. There should be some kind of separation from the dining area to the bar and games. A wall or half wall. It just felt like a warehouse or storage facility. I love the variety of classic games though.

    The locations is nice, it was spacious and retro. The games were one price well worth it. The food was also excellent. The waitress was so nice and very attentive, good for a night out with friends, or a fun date. Also good for company outings.

    Pros and Cons. Go for the games and not the food. We went strictly to sit at the bar and check things out and grab a drink. Service was very friendly. No issues there. I asked how much to get in and play games and was shocked when they said $10. $11 with taxes. All day. All the games. That is awesome!!! They have skee ball and lots of pinballs and lots of old games like Frogger and Pac Man. What a great thing to do on a rainy day or a freaking cold day like it has been lately. They are right next to the new Funny Bone location and share a kitchen with them. We ordered Buffalo Chicken Dip and loaded fries. Easy. 1st it took a looooong time to get our food. Way too long and my patience was wearing thin. It wasn't acknowledged until I said something. Everything came out lukewarm. The fries were good except not hot. The dip....ehhhh....at best. Absolutely not hot enough and just not good. I can make better at home. They did play great music!! And obviously it was loud in there which should be expected. It looked like they had a room in the back that could be quieter but not sure if anyone can sit there (I hope so) or just for private parties. The bar is a good size and they have table tops too as soon as you walk in. Oh.....one thing I definitely did not like is water!!! They ONLY sell you bottled water for $3. Not a fan of that at all for several reasons. Anyways....if you like arcades definitely check them out.

    Sloppy Seconds Bar & Grill is located along Holland Rd. and is near the Holland Plaza Shopping…read moreCenter in Virginia Beach. They are just south of where Holland Rd. merges into Independence Blvd. My most recent visit here was on April 23, 2026. From the outside of the business, it does stand out a bit with the large name above the entrance. You can definitely see it if you look from Holland Rd. I had seen it too when traveling down that road, but I finally came in for the first time on March 10, 2026 after leaving the Voter Registrar's Office not too far from there. Upon entering, it wasn't too busy yet, but it was a little before 4 pm, so it was still early for the evening dinner rush. The inside of the place definitely has the bar scene vibe with the bar area and televisions showing sports there, with closed captioning on. One of the bartenders said we could find a spot to be seated. My mom and I went to one of the booths available. It was just seconds later that our server came over, welcomed us here, bringing menus over, and introduced herself. The first question is always asking about what to drink. I continue to go with my usual, which is water with lemons, while my mom got Coke. After having some time to look over the menu, when we got our drinks, my mom and I were both ready to order. I decided to go with the Sloppy Joe Samich with Onion Rings as the side item, but subbing Pepper Jack Cheese instead of American Cheese. My mom decided to do an appetizer as the main course, which was the Loaded Nachos Half Size Portion. A little less than 10 minutes later, our food orders came to the table, and they looked really good, and when we went to try it out, they were definitely hot too. The Sloppy Joe Samich ended up being really good and hit the spot for me. The onion rings were good too, and were a bit of an indulgence for me. My mom really liked the Loaded Nachos and that had good flavor to it as well. Our server also told us about various specials they have through the week, so this would warrant future visits for us too. The next few visits would be on Thursdays, as they have a $7 Burger Night Special beginning at 5 pm. For those next visits (including the most recent one, except for the April 6 visit), I would end up getting the Bacon Cheeseburger With Fries (additional cost to change the side item for specials). My mom also did a few types of burgers on these visits, one being the Cowboy Burger. Every time, the burgers came out as expected and hot. The fries were really good too, as I usually do pepper on them instead of salt. There was one additional visit on April 6th, which was a Monday. We came in that day for the Fried Shrimp Basket Special. That one comes with Fried Shrimp and Fries, and is available all day. The shrimp were really good and filling too. Overall, the food, service, atmosphere, and specials have been great here. I really feel like they are a hidden gem. When it comes to sodas, they did carry Coke products, but as of the middle of April 2026, they are now serving Pepsi products. I want to note that there is a 3% order processing fee, likely for anyone paying by a card instead of cash. Even when I have been there at busier times, parking was never an issue. It feels like a family atmosphere too. On the most recent visit, they even stated that they notice us as regulars here now. If you're looking for a different place that serves more than just burgers, this place is worth checking out, as I have not seen a place around yet that has the Sloppy Joe type samich.

Stopped by for a burger and a beer to drown in my solitude. Had great service. Prompt, attentive and genuine. Only downside was some pretentious guy named Jeff kept whining about the hostess and the service being "special needs" because he couldn't get his group prompt service under 15 minutes on a special holiday. If it wasn't for some derogative guy whining off the bell about how the service wasn't up to par every couple minutes I'd have enjoyed what would've been quite a depressing day for me.

The last time I set foot inside their Pleasure House Rd location was at least 10 years ago. I celebrated my birthday there as my friends were kind enough to take me out. It was a Sunday morning and I sought out a place that offered brunch. I noticed 1608 was open and decided to head over, especially since I haven't visited them in ages. When I walked in, I noticed their dining room is dimly lit - much darker than I remember. I was greeted immediately by a kind hostess and she proceeded to sit me at a nearby table and provided me with menus (one food, one alcohol). I took my time looking over the food menu, and in the meantime I ordered a pint of Center of the Universe's Bald Irishman and a bottle of Boylan's Black Cherry soda (they do not have a soda fountain). What made this visit memorable was that 1608's bartender, Hunter, was an old acquaintance from back in my restaurant days. He spotted me and came over to say hi. After my meal, I continued to catch up with him at the bar. His presence made a pleasant experience even more fantastic. I thought I was hungry, so I ordered 2 dishes - Smoked Ham Fried Rice and the Breakfast Burrito. According to Hunter, every item is made fresh in house. After biting into each, you could tell that's true. Both the fried rice and burrito were delicious and boasted lots of flavor. Although I prefer my fried rice a bit simpler (if you give me just garlic fried rice, I am SET), 1608's fried rice (veggies, garlic, soy, basmati rice, 2 runny eggs, smoked ham) had a lot going on, which made for a flavorful dish. I liked the rice and the burrito (Korean style fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs, cilantro lime, cheddar, pico de gallo) a lot. I didn't finish either because it was a lot of food (I really thought I was hungry, haha). But these leftovers turned into a fantastic dinner later on. 1608 looked clean and organized, although I thought it was a little too dark inside, at least for brunch service. That's not a dealbreaker since everything from the food to the service was as excellent as I remember. I hope to return soon with my mom. Regardless, I'll find my way back eventually. Thank you, 1608 Crafthouse! And great seeing you again, Hunter! JV

My husband got the shepherds pie and he said this was an easy 10/10 the lamb was cooked perfectly. Great seasoning and overall flavor this is a hit. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage... man it's going to be hard to try other things on the menu because this was actually perfect. Well, one thing I would LOVE to see is some gravy on the mashed potatoes or even on the side. The potatoes taste great themselves but something in this dish is lacking diverse flavor I feel like that would have brought everything together to make it 10/10. I will still get it again though! Beware for all of my savory people... the cabbage is cooked to have a sweeter taste idk if I loved that but I added a little salt and it was fine. Carrots and mustard were great additions. Needless to say, I rarely ever finish my entire place and I stuffed myself full of corned beef to make sure I got every left bit. Can't wait to come back and try the fish and chips next!

By the time our food came, our friends finally arrived but it took the server a long time to return to the table to even take their order. We seemed to have that issue all evening.
