    (L) Triple  Barrel 7 and Pepp Bois. Notice the "legs" inside the TB7 glass.
    Dan C.

    We stopped in for the pizza, but we were disappointed. We've had better. The selections of pizza were nice, however; the two we chose really needed more sauce and needed to fill out more of the pizza area. The beers we had were outstanding. Pepp Bois carried a delicious and prominent oregano flavor and the Triple Barrel F was so delicious and thick that the glass it was in was left with wine-like "legs." Service was fine and it was a beautiful day to eat outside on one of the benches. Parking in its lot was somewhat limited, but there were several handicap spaces available.

    I have been to the Veil Brewing twice, but both times at the end of a beer crawl so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the experience. This reflects in my check in pictures which is as blurry as my vision was that night. I like this venue because it is versatile. For one, it has 3 levels, each with its own unique flair. The first level is your typical tap room, but with high ceilings, kind of industrial looking and an open window kitchen. The second floor is like a chill lounge. The third floor is like an in door roof top experience. From what I could tell though, you can only order beer on the first floor and carry it up. Sorry no beer notes this time. I honestly don't remember what beer I ordered each time, but they were both good. And on my first visit I ordered their version of what I think was a crochet. It was I think fried potato filled with melty cheese. It was just what I needed after a full day of day drinking. I have got to come back and make thus my first stop, because it really is a great spot.

    Considering how often I'm here, I should probably leave a review lol I've enjoyed coming to The Veil since the presence of Lil Za, but I love coming here specifically for happy hour. $1 Oysters?! You can't beat it. You can enjoy the oysters raw, Rockefeller, or Motoyaki (I believe that's what it's called). I started off with big trays of half Rockefeller and half Motoyaki, but as of late, the Motoyaki oysters have been my fixation. They're Japanese with miso, cream cheese, mozzarella, greens, Japanese mayo, and panko crumbs. They are so good!!!!!!! I can't get enough of them lol I also love the variety of drinks they have. The specials are always good. The smashburger happy hour deal is one that you can't beat. And they just started serving pizzas again so a visit to The Veil is always worth it. It's spacious, there's a good amount of seating, there are multiple floors now with different offerings, and staff is really cool. This one is a Norfolk gem

    Came for happy hour, stayed for the ambiance. $3 for 3 oysters is hard to beat. I would've liked the picked toppings on the side instead of already on the oysters. $6 burgers plus happy hour drink specials. Service was quick and friendly!

    Burger at happy hour. Very good and unbeatable price!

    Friendly service from the folks behind the bar and in the kitchen. The $6 burger special during happy hour (til 6:30) cannot be beat. Fun space typical of the brewery scene.

    Can't go wrong with their beers!!! Staff is awesome. Chill atmosphere and plenty of parking that includes side street parking.

    The Veil in Norfolk has tasty and super creative beers and a phenomenal food menu! Today we just went in for lunch, and we each got a Smashburger: one with fries and one with chips. The Smashburger was grilled to perfection, the cheese was super melted, and the Martin's potato roll really held everything together.

    We love the Veil! Lots of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Great beers and helpful staff- I am the queen of "let me sample like 5 things" and then pick, and they are always patient. BONUS tip- don't miss the bar all the way upstairs - that level is a total vibe and has the best drinks!

    Went here Saturday for a pop up event and really enjoyed myself. There was a live DJ that actually knew how to DJ lol. Many different vendors and small business owners selling vintage clothes, jewelry/ accessories , sport memorabilia; there was a lane for interests of all kinds. I had a pina colada cider and a margarita, both hit the spot. We didn't get food but I saw everyone getting these smash burgers and they looked legit, I'll be back to try it out.

    We've lived in Park Place for 1 year now, and The Veil has been our most reliable, go-to place for us so far. FOOD/BEER: I liked it when they had Lil Za; the pizza was yummy, but they recently switched to a burger menu, which I haven't tried yet! We only ordered the cheese fries, which were pretty disappointing. They were just fries with nacho cheese; they didn't get creative with the cheese at all. - The beer is always solid, has great prices, and they have several different sizes. - The drinks on the third floor (Only You) are hit or miss, but they switch drinks in and out, so I try something different every time I go. My biggest surprise was their Piña Colada - WOW, it was so strong and so good! I didn't expect that, especially because it was a premix. LOCATION: This spot is so great, honestly. It has three stories, and each floor is different. The renovation of the 3rd floor is quite impressive. Cool vibes, cool music, bartenders are cool, drinks are fun, and decoration is hip. The furniture isn't the most comfortable, but, it's a bar haha Will I return? Yep! We come here a lot.

    Burger and fries

    I have been to several Veil locations, and this is definitely one of the best I have been to. The brewery is clean, organized, and well-staffed. It has lots of seating options and different types of seating for different groups. Drink selection was pretty good, especially for the winter. I wished they kept a Pilsner on tap for the winter for variety, but understand that it is not in season. I also got a burger and fries here, and a fried pickle appetizer. I was very impressed. The fried pickles were pretty standard, but I liked the dipping sauce they came with. The burger was excellent; it is probably the best I've had at a brewery. Two smashed patties that were cooked excellent and had a lot of flavor. The burger sauce paired very well. The fries were great too - salty and crispy! I like the Veil and their drinks. This was an excellent location that they have. I would definitely recommend to those in the area.

    We stopped into the Veil after arriving in Norfolk and getting settled into our hotel. We wanted to have a bite to eat and try some local brews. The people here were very friendly and we enjoyed the decor and casual vibe. They have a second floor that was closed at the time and a third floor that is home to a cool cocktail lounge called Only You with a relaxing atmosphere and friendly bartender that greeted us when we walked in. We ended up hanging out downstairs and ordered some garlic parm wings and beers. Food is served inside by Lil 'Za. The wings were nice and crunchy and we loved the sauce. The flavor on the wings themselves was a little lacking in my opinion, but still tasty. We tried a smoothie style sour ale and a gose and enjoyed both of them. Overall, this was a cool spot and I'd definitely return!

    Left Pina colada cider and right some IPA
    Ara A.

    Finally made my way here and I'm so glad we did. Hubby had some IPA beer and loved it. I'm not a beer person so I asked for alternatives and they had a good amount. I had the pina colada cider and it was very good, could have had 3 glasses lol. For lunch we had the Big Mac burger and the pizza with sausage. The food almost seems to good to be coming out of a brewery. Could easily just come for the food. Excellent service, great vibe, lots of seating area.

    Beer was ok. Not for mainstream IPA drinkers. More of a hipsters place. Also ot was pretty loud.

    Ask the Community - The Veil Brewing

    How's the parking?

    I've never had issues - even on busy Saturdays - finding a side street spot within a block of the Veil.

    Are they dog friendly?

    Absolutely! They have a huge patio space (and an outside bar, I believe.. unless it was just set up for the opening weekends) where dogs are welcome.

    The Vanguard is always a mixed bag…read more Ordering a drink on a busy night is the worst. They need a dedicated order line. No idea why they don't have one. It's just a horrible experience as is. They need to go to Precarious and see how they do it. Their food is generally good to great. They have a $5 before 5 app and drink special menu that is a really good deal. Nice spot for adults to have some drinks. Just be patient as service is generally slow. Now onto my recent experience.... I suggested it to some friends who wanted to grab some beers on MLK day which was a Monday. There were 4 of us guys and 7 kids. It's a lot. I get it. They weren't overly busy. Maybe a quarter full. I tried to keep the kids away from other tables by giving them boundaries. They were not happy with us. They didn't like the kids being outside in their patio (freezing, no one out there) etc. The one server was getting destroyed. She had just like 6 tables, but a 16 top. I felt badly for her. Our drinks correspondingly took about 20-30 minutes each time we tried to order. She was nice when she could get to us. At one point a person who said they were a manager, I think she said her name was Hannah, came over and said the kids couldn't be going around (again, I had boundaries not by any other patrons etc. from what I could see they were honoring them, but who knows), anyway she asked if we could keep them by us, which is fine. I then asked her if I could put in a beer and app order as I had been waiting for our server with an empty beer for at least 20 minutes. Instead of taking the order and ringing it in, she said she'd send the server over and disappeared never to be seen again. 5 minutes Iater the server was able to get free from her big table and get our beer orders and food in. Several items were forgot, but at this point we were kind of over it. Just not really your typical relaxed brewery vibe. Felt like they wanted it to be more of a sit down restaurant. That big long story to say it's not a spot for kids. Overall food and drinks are solid. Beer is solidly middle of the pack for Peninsula. Management needs some work.

    Hadn't been here for a while and we decided to stop on our way home…read more We didn't order any food items because we had just finished eating but they have some interesting items on their menu which I hope to try next time. We were greeted immediately as we entered. You have to wait to be seated but there was no wait. Our server was so nice and friendly. She took our drinks order and answered all our questions. This place should be on all locals list to check out. The vibe is very chill. We have stopped by when it's been busy and they've had live music and also when it's been on the quiet side like today. Every time the service has been superb and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. I only wish they were a little closer to home since they are located in Hampton but don't let that stop you. It's not a bad ride.
