I accidentally found this lively brewery on a biz trip to Virginia Beach. My hotel was nearby and,…read morelucky for me, Three Notch'd was right around the corner! It was a warm Friday night, and a their Rodeo Mexi-Lager was calling my name. It was perfect: light, cold, and refreshing. I then moved on to the No Veto Brown Ale, which was nice and malty but not too heavy. This place was pretty busy and loud - looked like there was more than one little league team getting pizza after a game. But I'm not complaining. What a fun way to absorb the local vibe. Good beer and great service, too!

I've only been here once before, but I love how open and spacious this restaurant is and you can actually see the tanks where the beer is brewed, which is pretty cool. We looked over the menu, while waiting for our server to stop by. It actually took quite a while for her to come over and by the time she did, we were ready to order. We decided on the Beef Sliders and the Chimichurri Street Tacos, both with the Parmesan Garlic Fries. 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. I did enjoy the Tacos, they were delicious, and my boyfriend devoured his Beef Sliders. For a place that wasn't very packed, we expected a more attentive server so I hope that's something they can work on in the future. I'm sure it'll take me another couple years to return but I'm hoping the service will be much better by then.

Elation Brewing has a huge indoor and outdoor area with plenty of different styles of seating! It is family and pet friendly, and they have fire pits for cooler days/nights. I love that the inside still has huge open windows to allow that fresh cross breeze in. They are known for their pizza, but they also have a variety of other things to eat on their menu. There is also a number of different beers, seltzers, IPAs, and wines to try. Tonight I had the White Cranberry Sangria from Water's Edge Winery (also in Norfolk) and the Downeast Black Cherry! While both were really good, I prefer the Downeast because it was sparkling and just more refreshing. We also had the bacon Gouda pizza and the Hive pizza with hot honey. Both were great! I had never had a hot honey pizza but would definitely get it again! Tonight was trivia night and they had a good size crowd come out. I like that you could actually hear the questions despite so many people. A lot of times I can barely hear! Also inside the same place is Voyager Coffee. They're only open 7-4. I would love to give them a try. Oh and Elation does offer military discount but only on their to-go beers! The ONLY reason I did not give Elation five star is because I wish they had actual servers. You have to go up to the counter to order each time, and the lines get pretty long. Being able to order from the table, even if from a QR code where you could order and pay online would be a plus. Lastly, for such a large space, the parking lot is tiny. You'd either have to find street parking or there is additional parking at the CEO building on Colley.

It's the kind of place that works for almost any occasion, whether you're hanging out with a big group, grabbing a drink solo, or meeting up for a casual date. There are lots of different seating options, which makes the space feel flexible and comfortable. They also host live music and trivia on certain nights, which adds to the overall vibe. I went on a Sunday around 6:30pm. It wasn't crowded, but there was still a good crowd if that makes sense. It felt lively without being packed. Their drink selection is great. They have plenty of beer options, but also serve wine, seltzers, cider, and non alcoholic drinks, which I really appreciate since I'm not much of a beer person. I ordered the frozen rosé slushie in wild raspberry and it was strong. I also had the black cherry fruited cider, which was delicious. For food, I ordered The Hive pizza and it was excellent. The crust was thin-ish and tasted homemade, and the ingredients were clearly high quality. No complaints at all. Service was friendly and efficient, and the bathrooms were very clean. Random detail, but the toilet paper was noticeably better quality than what you usually find in bars. It was not plush, but strong and not paper thin. Overall, I loved the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the service. I will definitely be back.

A great way to socialize and enjoy the warm weather. The drink options look great, from beer, to mixed drinks, to even coffee. However, we didn't have a chance to try them this time around. We came in for a late lunch, the menu has some great options. Unfortunately, my food came out about 15 minutes before my husband's, so we couldn't really enjoy our meal together. 2 meals, no drinks (not even a soda), and 2 sauces came out to around $40. Honestly, I wouldn't pay that again for the portion of food you're getting. For food at this price point, I think there's better places. However, the vibes are great and this is an awesome spot for drinks. Definitely recommend for drinks & hanging out!

Their Mac and cheese is also superb. THE ONLY qualm I have with tap-it is the live music performers... don't get me wrong, doc Perkins and friends are all very talented. HOWEVER... the music is far too loud. It's hard to hear myself think or have intelligible conversation with those around. Other than that, this is a great spot to meet for casual drinks or to have dinner with friends/fam. I will always recommend this spot, though if you are sensitive to loud noise, I would steer clear.

They offer a wide variety of options on their menu that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning appetites. I enjoyed their classic cheeseburger served with Lettuce, tomato and pickles. This is a massive burger that can be difficult to get into your mouth. It's served piping hot and at your desired temperature. For me, it's medium and that is the way it comes out. The French Fries are perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Looking back at the photos and wow! I'm sorry it's been so long, but I'm here now! After an afternoon of driving up from North Carolina, I was ready for beer and air conditioning and some wifi. I found all here and it was a great spot. Open, comfortable and friendly. I had a high top table but there was all kinds of other seating, both inside and out. For beers, I very much enjoyed their Tiny Panzer, a tasty hefeweizen. For seconds while Yelping with my laptop, the BUB Lite was a lighter American lager that was surprisingly flavorful and totally crushable. Big Ugly does not have a kitchen (yay, they can have dogs!) and today they were pairing up with the Pinoy Delights food truck. They have a schedule on their webpage. This is a superior spot and I enjoyed my evening. [Review 729 of 2025 - 1485 in Virginia - 24289 overall]
