Starr Hill Market Bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Horrific service. I am not sure what I did but this woman showed me from the onset what it was like to be scorned. Hated. Belittled. Derised. I did nothing. But show up at the bar with a college fraternity brother I haven't seen in 20 years. But to her. I was scorned. My buddy asked for a Modelo. And she responded. Sarcastically. "I will see if I can find one". Of course my friend never got a Modelo. Or a response. Just an inferior substitute. Thank you. We waited. For her to show. A glance. A hello. And finally. She showed up to ask us what we would like to order. The anger. For no reason. Unsolicited. After repeating our orders multiple times. She finally brought our drinks. My buddy who I haven't seen in 20 years offers his credit card. She pounced. Do you want to start a tab? We responded but apparently it was lost. The second time she almost yelled. 'Tab yes or no!!!!!????? I only wanted to share a drink with a friend I haven't seen in 20 years. This is not customer service. This is not how you talk to customers who have done absolutely nothing wrong but order a couple of drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Sad that customer service has degenerated to this level. Ruining my reunion with a long lost friend. This is not how you treat people. Sad. And thank you. Me and my circle of friends will ever return to this place. And hopefully some who read this review. Thank you. To this woman. And her fake smiles to everyone but us. read more

Starr Hill Market Bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I love this place! My bartender TAMIA is amazing & Tamia is literally the only bartender taking care of roughly 40 people. Maybe more. I love the mixture of music from R&B to country music. Didn't try the food but they have a huge beer selection which is great. They have sports games on the televisions throughout the venue. I can tell this place is more lively on weekends. I absolutely love the layout of the bar- dead smack in the center of the venue with a round about bartop that makes it easy to peep the scenery while conversing with friends or newly made aquaintences at the same time. I will return every time I am in Norfolk. read more

Sexy set up! First of all I cannot stand when I wait to write reviews then I forget the waiter/waitress/bartender name. Well on this night, June 8th and friend and I decided to venture to Waterside to get the Harborfest vibes inside of Waterside. Well as soon as you walk into the District from Waterside Drive, right in the center you have a bar located right in the heart of Waterside District. We sat down and was immediately greeted by, I think her name was Danni...short and petite African American woman... My guest already knew his drink of choice, me being me, I asked for something refreshing and along the lines of a margarita vibe. The bartender (same girl) came up with something, but I didn't like it. But I give her an A for effort. She offered to try again, but I declined and ordered a margarita. The margarita was nice. Not the best ever, but something I could enjoy throughout the night. The vibe inside is super cool and to sit right in the center of the District, one can pretty much see everything! I love it here! It seemed as though our seat choices were the main attraction for walk ups... to my right at least three others walked up and placed their orders... this was a bit frustrating, but then quickly I thought, it's still a bar and this is literally the center of the bar... and I'm like a magnet I guess... so I quickly got over the pettiness. Overall, we spent about 90 mins here and Danni was interacting with us throughout the night. She also even mentioned the other spots in the District and she pointed out the BlueMoon Stage and advised who would be performing that night. I love love great customer service! I felt she went above and beyond suggesting other venues... kudos to Danni! Parking... there is meter parking, valet, and garage parking. If you are on the Portsmouth side, you can even catch the ferry over to the Norfolk. A great time awaits. Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

I just came to Norfolk for the weekend and while walking by beautiful Waterside District wanted to stop with my friends for a drink. There is a large mall like area with multiple restaurants but since we just wanted a quick drink we searched for the bar with the highest reviews. Didn't realize that we past this place because it's in the center of the large lobby! It was exactly what I was looking for and I thank Alex for making me a delicious drink just based off what I like. A true bartender! read more

Good beer selection, two competent bartenders that offered samples of this local brewery to make sure we liked what we ordered. It is clean and it sits in the middle of the building, so you can grab food and sit there and enjoy it with a good beer. read more

Ridiculous. Every time i come here the bartender is over worked. Staff more people on Saturday's and Sunday's. Waiting 25 minutes for a beer is enraging and unacceptable and makes me not want to bring my business here nor recommend this to other people. read more

Awful beyond belief! Came to waterside with my husband for the weekend as I heard such great reviews about how much better it's gotten. Checked into the Sheraton next door and walked straight over the the Waterside market place via the boardwalk to check it out! It was prob around 2pm on a Saturday and when we walked in, we were a little overwhelmed, by the openness and not sure where to go, but found 2 open seats at this place, as it was the central bar right when u walked in. It wasn't very crowded at all, but cute and quaint for a Saturday afternoon. The bartender Haley immediately helped us, and I asked if they had Red Bull, she advised "yep", so i ordered my normal, a Red Bull and vodka. She looked a little confused and then said "oh yeah, for a Red Bull and vodka, and that they just stopped carrying it this week, due to something weird with the distributor, and she didn't know why as a lot of people ordered that drink." I was pretty upset and told her that was weird and sucked and i asked for a another drink recommendation. She suggested pineapple and vodka, and I accepted. My husband had a crown and coke and we drank those and paid $14.60 and then left to catch the ferry, knowing we'd come back here later as it was so close and would hopefully pick up a crowd. Later that night, after we visited some other places and rested, we came back to check out this place again. This time it was around 815pm. The band came on right ahead of this bar on the stage, and started at 9, so we luckily found 2 open seats here again, and had a seat! It was a lot more crowded in the marketplace now and a good crowd! I knew not to order a Red Bull and vodka, as I had already been told they didn't have it, so just ordered a beer. I immediately noticed the 2 beautiful bartenders, Lauren, and not sure the other, but was super disappointed to see how rude and the fact that I dnt think they smiled not one time at us, or anyone else in the bar the whole time we were there!! Just very very odd and not sure if it was just a bad day, but Haley also wasn't the friendliest! Why be a bartender if u don't smile or have a personality? Isn't that part of the job? I am pretty friendly and easy to get along with!! Furthermore, another issue itself i guess. After a few beers, I decided to joke and ask her about the Red Bull situation..i assume Lauren, right sleeve tattoo, long dark rooted hair with blonde double sided braids, looked at me with the weirdest look, and bent down and pulled a can of red Bull out of the fridge in front of us. I was so confused and blown away and apparently so was she. She looked at the other bartender and asked her about it, and asked me to describe her and that they assumed they knew who it was and it sounded like something she would say! Say what??!! I was so baffled and confused and blown Away, why this bartender would have made this whole story up at 2pm, to find out at 9pm, that it wasn't the case?! WTF, is all i can say about that situation!! Needless to say, I was happy to have my regular drink, and enjoyed it after waiting all day...after that, we decided it was time to leave, as the band wasn't that great. We closed our tab this time from 4 beers, and wonderful chicken fingers, and the redbull and vodka, for a total of $46.05 this time! Not paying attention because we were there alone enjoying ourselves then, i didn't look at the receipt, but when got back to the hotel, i glances and realized the vodka and redbull was $4 for the well vodka, and $5 for the redbull!!! And mind you in was in a small liquor glass, which she only could have used Maybe half of!! And i paid more for that half then a can at the store!! Heck, Sheetz has 2 12oz cans for $5.33!!! To summarize my experience with this bar, if u want a central bar to the band and main entrance, and u drink beer, and dnt mind the bartenders not having a lick of personality, this is your place!! Otherwise, keep moving! The inconsistency and rudeness can be found anywhere!! I just wish we could have located the PBR bar, but weren't able to locate it due to zero signs from inside and this place did the trick for our 1 night kid free away. Keep working on it.... read more

The location and variety at this bar is perfect for craft beer lovers. The availability of Starr Hill beers is especially impressive. Outside of Starr Hill, several other local breweries are featured. My only critique is that the beer menu was not up to date and didn't display prices. I was caught off guard when i ordered a fairly mainstream craft beer and it priced at $9. Overall, a well done location that I will certainly visit on a consistent basis. read more

They're clearly running a happy hour scam here, and in the whole complex. I asked about the happy hour drink specials and I was told that several drinks including Miller light was $5. I told them that Blue Moon next door (who previously ripped me off) had Miller Light on for $3 - she then acknowledged that they were on for $3 here as well. WTF. I suspect this is a complex wide scam. Be vigilant. read more
