Two out of 10 songs are country. There's no real dance floor. The small area that could be, they put beer pong in and it's crowded. Should just call it a hip hop club. Want country dancing or even listen to country music, this is not the place. read more

Came here over Memorial Weekend and my bf and i had a great time! Only place open til 2am at the Waterside. We stayed @ the Marriot in downtown and were able to walk to and from no problem. I loved it cause of the fun music & dancing! The dj played a little bit of everything..country, 90s, etc. highly recommend! Already know where we're going next time we're in the area!! Thanks PBR! read more

Beautiful girls and a good Dj. It's a decent size but the dance floor really isn't that big.

Nice place to go. Always a event happening. Great time and lots of fun. Friday night happy hour live music. Aaron is the best bartender. Make sure you go to him first. Great place to let the good times roll. read more

Best place for line-dancing and a great time! Warm and friendly staff and very fun atmosphere. Features mechanical bull riding country music all night. There's no other place like it in the 757. Thursday nights are free line dance lessons. Always a blast. read more

Seriously. First time here in ages and only came to see one of our fave music artists. No bartender In sight! For real - and only about 8 customers. read more

Music was good but drinks were very week and under poured. Highly Recommend not ordering beverages with liquor and just getting beer

My least favorite place to go in Norfolk, it's supposedly a country bar, but you can tell they just try way too hard. Drinks are expensive, and if you're not careful someone will bump into you and spill your drink all over the floor. You can't hold a conversation in this place as the music is absurdly loud. If you're looking for a country bar sadly this isn't it. read more

Tons of fun, great music, line dancing and the drinks are ICE COLD!!! I continue to enjoy spending time here. The staff is fun, polite, and really are the life of the party! They play all my favorite tunes! They even have skits and teach line dancing. The bull is legit and will certainly give you a challenge!! I recommend you give this place a go!!! read more

Best bartenders & Cocktail waitresses in the 757! Energy, Enthusiasm & heart go into this place every weekend. read more

See all

Always underwhelmed when I come here. The staff is nice and always helpful, but the selection of beer always throws me off. I am not a fan of their prices either. $7 for a beer (Coors Light at that) I would never choose to drink on a bad day is too much for me. I would come back when Waterside decides to be more reasonable. Beautiful venue, lovely staff, just not a fan of high prices for a beer I can get cheaper at another bar. read more

New venture for me. Due to Covid I feel like I didnt get the best first impression. There was no dance floor. And while slow, there were very abrasive customers whom security did not attend to. I will go again to hopefully get a better feel. read more

Great atmosphere with lots of positive energy. Drinks were well made, little pricy but worth it!! Will return!!! read more

Absolutely loved this bar, the staff is very sociable and enjoyed watching and joining in on the line dancing. Watching them introduce the staff for flip cup was freaking awesome as they announced them like a sports team coming out for a big game. They put on an awesome show and a great place to have a party. I fully recommend this bar to enjoy a night out. read more

No one enforcing masks or social distancing inside. Bathrooms had no toilet paper. Drinks were okaaaaaay. Kayla ... pretty face with horrible customer service. read more

I am not a huge fan of country music, but was highly impressed with PBR. The drinks were cheap and the mechanical bull was a plus! There was an outside area with plenty of seating and the staff were friendly. It was great to see that the bartenders/waitresses followed the country theme with cowboy hats and chaps! The place itself is very big and there's plenty of room to dance. You can't go wrong with PBR on your next weekend out. read more

Went here on grand opening night. It's a lot smaller then I expected. I've been to the one in Baltimore and Philadelphia numerous times and this was a little disappointing relatively speaking. read more

I have always enjoyed going here, until recently. I went to the bar a few weekends ago. I ordered a beer and started a tab, went back ordered another beer. The third time when I went to close out my tab they told me they didn't have one under that name. I was at the same bar I started my tab at and I was with the same bartender. I gave her my card and she still could not find any information. She told me not to worry about it and to enjoy my night, as if my drinks were paid for and it was on the tab. Yeah right. I went back up to all of the different bar tenders within that area and no one could find a tab under my name. I asked if I could pay for the beer that i had and then sign off on it. One beer was $7- I'm fine with that. The next morning i wake up with 2 charges. The first was $8 which was my beer and tip and the second $50!!!! I attempted to call and I left a message- no response. I contacted waterside through their customer service tab on their website- no response. I even messaged them on Twitter - no response. It's been 3 weeks with no response from anyone in that building! My suggestion- If you go DO NOT start a tab. Horrible customer service and they were clueless. Save yourself the charge and the hassle of contacting your bank. read more

I love this place! Usually pretty slow at the beginning of the night but starts to fill up around 10:30/11:00. Their dancers are so cute and sweet and were nice enough to try to teach the group I was with some of the dances. Bartenders were all very knowledgeable, and they don't keep your card to start a tab which is nice. Gets kind of hot the busier it gets but generally I've always had pleasant experiences. The people complaining have obviously never worked in the service industry read more

Wow. This place brings the country to Norfolk. Not only is the staff amicable and high energy, the DJ mixes old and new music which engages the crowd with ages across the board. The drinks are slamming and bartenders are are constantly slinging drinks. They do line dance lessons on Thursday from 8-10, so if you want to learn and join in on their dances you can go in and participate on classes. Definitely one of Norfolk's finest bars. read more

Best service ever from Holly ! She rocks. Fun place to hang out. Riding the bull was ridiculously fun . Great Staff. Will visit again and again read more

The best country bar in Hampton Roads at the new Waterside District. It has the best managers and staff around!!! If you haven't checked it out, then you must!!! read more

-1.0!! Terrible customer service! I stepped out to order a glass of water from the outdoor bar and wasn't allowed back in. I am DD and had no purse, wallet (keys included) to get back home. I was trying to close out my tab and the bouncers made everyone that stepped out wait in line in order to get back in. It would not have too bad except it was pouring rain. I will never come back here again. read more

They won't play any song you request. Do not be fooled this is not a country bar. They do not care about costumer service.

The bar seemed nice upon entering, but the vibe changed once inside. The music was very censored(which is not a problem at all) but they played mostly country music and rock. When we asked could they play 1 hip-hop song the dj said he would have to ask the manager. We then told the dj that there was an edited version of the song, he said he still had to ask his manager. No big deal! Then, halfway into the night the dj shouts out that according to CNN Alicia Keys had died. Everybody around me went into a panic searching there phones for what happened. Then the dj says he was just joking...what?! I went to the dj booth and asked why he would say that and he said they thought it would be funny . My friends also experienced some mishaps. My friend, who is Black was standing at the bar waiting to get served. Everyone that came before and after him were served and he made eye contact with the bartender but was ignored. It wasn't until my friend spoke up that he was served. The bartender paid for his drink because he knew he kept skipping over him. I've heard and read several reviews of this bar because prejudice in some instances but I experienced it first hand last night. it's sad because it could be a really nice place but they definitely cater to a certain crowd (that obviously doesn't look like me). read more

Haven't been for a while. Due to how slow it is when extremely busy. Finally decided to go; my second trip to the bar, the bartender says , " I know you've been waiting , but I know him"... trash. Spend you money st a place like a strip club. read more

Stood in line for fifteen minutes to get a drink, only for the bartender to take my order and then proceed to make no less than a dozen drinks for various customers before even attempting to make mine. I spoke up again, and she said "oh." I snatched my card back. Bartenders are slow, service sucks. Go to Hampton instead. read more

by far my favorite bar staff Is great, skits and dances are funny and fun, and the bull was so much fun

This place was filled with subclass individuals, the place did look new.. But the service was horrible, the employees looked exshauted.. Almost like they were working in a sweatshop. The music was horrible, the dj was someone who would have been hired as a wedding DJ in 1989..inngeneral this place was as generic as it gets... read more

I had a BLAST definitely an after work hot spot!! The bull is AWESOME! The staff is friendly. and very well taught in line dancing one of the things I loved to watch was when they all had to practice! The only thing I wish was that it was a bigger space. It gets crowded real fast.. I love that the staff keeps up with the theme cowboy boots and all. Also wish that it was open more days of the week. read more

Liz and her staff are incredible! Had a blast at PBR. Did a cool skit around 12:30 ... never seen anything like it ! Will definitely be back! read more

Love this establishment! When the guy with the beard controls the bull, we have a blast. However, the guy without the beard who occasional controls the bull is disturbing and seems to enjoy girls who ride the bull a little too much (if you catch my drift). I hope this bar continues with its atmosphere but is just consider of who it hires. read more

first night out in virginia ..this place was good not much of a country fan but i still had a blast people were really nice as well ... didnt take long to buy a drink either and many places to sit as well ... good variety of music also ... read more

We came to PBR Norfolk for the Expecto Bar Craw, the place was amazing. This location was my House Bar for the night! Great music, great drinks and an even better dj! Shout out to the mechanical bull operator! read more

If I could give this place less than one star, I would. My friend and I stopped for a late night beer here as this was the only place that was still open. We had just arrived in town and were staying at a nearby hotel. We ordered a beer from a bartender and as soon as we paid, the bartender closed the roll down door/window. We were not worried as there was outdoor seating and still plenty of people hanging out. Suddenly, we hear these cow bells being rattled and all of the staff were literally herding people out. My friend and I were completely taken aback as we had just gotten a beer. We started walking out while we pretty much chugged down our beer. We stopped near the garbage can near the exit and one of the employees came by me with two of the cowbells that she was banging together and started banging them right near my head. I held my arm out in front of me to get her to back off and she leaned in again to bang the cowbells at me. . I should be pressing assault charges. read more

The drinks are fire and the women are even hotter. The staff is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. This is hands down the best bar/club in Norfolk! I don't waste my time going anywhere else. And if you don't like country music who cares you're getting hammered anyways. read more
