The place is a no frills, come as you, which is exactly what we were looking for. Also, our bartender was pretty cool and chill. My only (minor) issue with the place was the food. Ok, I was not expecting a Michelin experience (based on the prices), but I was expecting a little better quality of food. I ordered the chicken tacos, which came with fries, that were about $7. I thought it was a bit weird that the cheese was not melted and the tortilla was cold. While I probably would not go out of my way to have dinner at Stooges, I'd probably drop for a beer (or five) and to sing a song or two for karaoke, which occurs every night at 9 pm.

If you wanna go to Stooges just buy a six pack and sit in the dumpster. It's pretty much the same thing but will be cheaper cleaner and the food much better

The spam musubi were good but the nori didn't sit long enough to have a clean bite without it tearing through the rest of the wrapping. Coconut shrimp were actually very tasty and a great crunch, but the coconut dipping sauce was a bit overwhelming in flavor. I think a savory sauce would complement it best. Pork lumpia, delicious! The shrimp and mahi tacos were ok... it could have used more depth with the slaw and again there seem to be an other sweet sauce. Paired with the Mahi was good but with the shrimp overpowering. My son loved the Huli Huli chicken it definitely had the Hawaiian barbecue flavor, was tasty! The drinks were strong all around the table! I'd return, but would probably stick to appetizers as the flavor for those was better than entrees.

It became clear that their particular way of expressing their views was not only done in poor taste but that they were in fact rude and hateful individuals. Not only were they ignorant but they attempted to conceal their Racism in "Patriotism". Everyone has the freedom to feel the way the feel and express it but not to shove it in your customers faces at a place of business. I mean you might as well hang up a Confederate Flag or perhaps display some old slavery memorabilia. Stick to serving beer and burgers. Hold the bigotry! K? Thanks!!!

We returned a second time and super busy on a Tuesday same time-why? Fish and Chips Thursday (1/2 price). Not too long of a wait though -1/2 hour and went fast as we had a drink at the Bar. We tried a couple of appetizers-goat cheese dip and fire cracker shrimp-both tasty. The Bacon stuffed Gouda burger was ordered on both visits -Ground Chuck/Proper Tavern Burger and it was that good! Fish and Chips were also ordered both visits-perfectly battered Haddock living up to the Tavern billing. The Tavern Monte Cristo is one to try. Battered and fried sandwich is never a bad idea-we loved it! We had a mix of draft beers (import)-they had Carlsberg (Danish) which isn't easy to find as well we had a Scottish Ale. Overall, an ample import draft list. Service was super engaged and upbeat from beginning to end on both visits. They are a Futbol Tavern and they mentioned they do get quite busy and have an even more of a fun atmosphere during the season-too bad we only visit during the Futbol off season-summer. We saw banners for Oktoberfest celebrations. Specials Monday-Thursday including Whiskey, wine and Wellington! Also, have a couple of sister locations in Hampton and Fredericksburg. Most definitely has been added to our must stops when visiting the Beach!

The mug club you get a full mug (so 24 oz) for the price of one pint. I have to ask if there's rules on what beer you order but that will be in the next review.... on to the food! 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!

My wife visited for the first time tonight at your establishment. They were enjoying themselves playing kareoke bingo. One of the members of our group had won and went up to the bar. The bartender Michelle said he needed to wear a mask to receive the gift. My wife mentioned at the table " does the bartender also need to wear a mask?" A waitress was walking by at that time (Ruth) and must of mentioned the comment to the bartender. The bartender came out from the bar and confronted my wife using profanity and accusing her of spitting on someone the night before. Again, she's never been there before. The bartender then said my wife was banned from the establishment. No loss for my wife. What the F^** kind of place is this!? You will never see my wife there again. I will also write a negative review on yelp and a few other sites. This is bull*^*+!!! Where was the manager? read more

The next night, I didn't want to spend lollygagging in front of the TV at the Hilton, so I popped over to Voodoo again to cheers the end of a long, Yelpy work trip with another glass of that dreammmmy cream soda.

OMG, these soft fried pretzel bites are amazing. They're a MUST try. If you're looking for a great place to relax and unwind, or celebrate with friends, look no further.

This is exciting for Norfolk Waterside the second third time around... hopefully it's going to be here to stay. The Harbour Club is definitely going to be a special asset to the District. Very sexy in here! We dined in for their happy hour. We were able to check in with one of the party host for an extended happy hour instead of it being until 7 pm with our yellow wristbands it was extended until 9 p.m. Drink specials only! Happy hour included draft specials, Margaritas were $5 and well drinks I believe for $4 and wine was $4 as well no food specials. This restaurant only features tapas so it's basically meant to come: chill, take a bite of something and just enjoy the atmosphere. I'm not sure if they play music but I can see where as they would push the lounge table and chair's back or take up the chairs and tables and have an open dance floor So excited to see how the night life will be in here. We arrived a little after 5pm... traffic was crazy on Waterside Dr. The atmosphere oozes high energy!! We sat at the bar (large bar) where our bartender was Katharine AKA Kate and she made us some grrrrreat Margaritas!! She's legit see her if you're in here!! The restrooms are on the outside of the restaurant so it's a short walk. If you want to dine on the patio you can do that as well. The Baja tacos which I had were absolutely good I didn't know they had onions on them but other than that they were still good. The harbor sliders they were very good as well with a handful of chips that I believe are homemade... cost $50 so you can't beat that looking forward. TVs are positioned around the perimeter of the club. And there are two bars located inside this club. The wait staff seems a little scattered but they managed to care for all. Parking is available via: the garages, meter parking. The food did take a lonnnnng to come. I'm not not sure why. While time was passing by we were high off of the energy in the club! Tapas and a full bar can be found here... mostly seafood. So much enthusiasm and high energy in the atmosphere where as time went by super fast but still the food should have came out a little bit sooner than what it did.

I usually don't frequent smoke filled establishments, but while it wasn't overbearing I was OK with it. Besides the excitement of the crowd took my mind off of the smoke. The drinks were on point but the wine selection is limited of course. But red and white wines are available. Not sure about the other nights, but Sundays during football season are all the way live. Oh - on this particular evening, no pool tables were present as seen in other pictures. The pool tables were replaced by long tables I assume to cater to the crowd...seating, eating and watching TV was preferred . So they might put the tables down during the week.. just a note to keep in mind. Also shout out to the ladies behind the bar...one in particular (I cannot remember her name) that was super sweet and sassy at the same time - loved it!! She allowed me to charge my cell phone while sitting at the bar. I came in sad thinking my phone was about to die, but left with 100% - how awesome is that!??
