I went here to celebrate my birthday and had a blast! I love the aesthetic of the club. There were flashing lights, streamers blowing out every once in a while, along with smoke. I loved the little details too like the small fake candles decorating the flat surfaces. The dancers were cool and playful. They let my friend dance on stage. They really got the club going. Surprisingly, with everything going on, it was not hard to breathe and I wasn't feeling stuffy or hot although I danced the night away. The service was patient and quick, but the quality of the drinks were not affected. All the drinks I've had were well made and tasted like they had the perfect amount of liquor in them, not too sweet but not too strong. I love the look of the glasses they came in too. I expected plastic cups or just a regular glass cup at most since it was a club, but they really put effort into the aesthetics of the drinks as well. The DJ was lit! I loved how he not only played music that was popular right now, but he also threw in some songs from different cultures and played some throwbacks. It was a set made where there was at least a song or two for everyone to like, and luckily, I liked every song he played. I had a section and the seating was comfortable. Along with the club, it looked nice. The only thing that bothered me was that it was by the door, so it was hard to dance with people coming in and out a lot. But I wouldn't go to the dance floor either, people were crammed like sardines. Besides the size and layout of the club, overall, I really enjoyed myself and will definitely come back. I recommend everyone to try this place out. I'm sure you'll like the music and drinks too! read more

This place really needs a new DJ, the one they have currently extreme or whatever is no good he can't keep customers and he plays the same music over and over like he's playing off an IPOD or something. The other DJ that plays some saturdays is pretty good. read more

Such a cool, diverse spot to come hang out for good drinks and music. I know it's a bar but the FOOD!!!! SO GOOD !!!!!

!!EXCELLENT FOOD!! NO EXAGGERATION: This is one of the best kept secrets in Hampton roads. I had their Wednesday night ribeye $14.99 deal and the soul roll. I don't know where they found this chef but he has a gift! Stop wasting money on crap, unseasoned food and blowing $20 bucks when you can go to a place like this and get quality grandma style cooking for the same price or less. And a special shout out to the Mac and cheese which is the chef's grandma's recipe. Also, I had enough food to last me two days. This beats and expensive steak house. PLUS, the service was just as good as the food. They are extremely kind, very accommodating, and just chill people. The kind of place you go back to simply because you love the staff. read more

Just visiting Virginia Beach and looking for a good dinner. Menu looked good and prices were good so I called to place a take out order (covid crisis ). They were sooooooo helpful on the phone, great recommendations too. We got the New Yorker burger, Carolina burger, Chesapeake bay fries, fried mac & cheese and broccoli cheddar bites. Also a strawberry Mule and the whiskey lemonade. OMG . The food was so good. The drinks were great. The service was amazing when we went and picked up our order. The guy that helped us was absolutely wonderful. Pleasant, nice to talk to. Gave us some great ideas about things to look at in the area and on the way to Richmond. Really great guy. Good looking too . Highly recommend! read more

Venue 112 - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Check out their two dollar taco Tuesdays!This is a local neighborhood bar/restaurant that I understand is a very busy sports bar hang out later in the evenings. I went there tonight with my daughter for two dollar taco Tuesdays... Absolutely freaking incredible tacos! It seems to be a younger crowd but I am young at heart and love great tacos... They have seven different kinds for two dollars a piece and you can't beat that with a stick! The shrimp taco was overflowing with shrimp... The fish taco was moist and meaty... my daughter tried three of them and loved them all! On actual real corn tortillas... I'll be in there every Tuesday. I noticed they also have a $19.95 Thursday night all you can eat crab legs and shrimp... Will be checking that out as well! read more

Venue 112 - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Pretty good food for a bar scene and I like that there are daily specials. The kitchen staff, DJs, & bartenders Sam and Sammy are great. The owner/bartender John is terrible. He's very pushy about giving you more drinks then tries to kick you out for being too drunk. He's also very handsy. But other than that, you can have a pretty good experience. read more

Burgers AND booze AND bass --Oh my! Venue 112 has become my favorite place to go for a night out (or honestly, just some killer food). All of my Yelp Elites know that on top of CA-ing for Yelp, I spent my days being a bar rep for eons and THIS PLACE is where we always got our late night fuel. Seriously, the specials they run here are insane (like, the quality is out of this world and on a spaceship). 'Twas crazy to me to find gourmet grub at a nightclub --but here it is! I even found myself attracted to this place on my nights off. Have you seen the crowd?! THIS is where the beautiful people are. Young, flirty, and dynamic crowd ready to party. The energy in this place is INSANE, whether you're here on a Thursday or a Saturday. Also, I've found that this is the most jumpin' spot on a Monday (yeah, Monday's are partying?!). The Pork Chop special (Sunday/Monday) and the Prime Rib Special are AMAZING --action-packed with flavor in every bite. And they have AYCE Crab Legs & Shrimp on Thursday (my faaaaave) and it's significantly cheaper than Captain George's up the road. Bravo! My absolutely favorite place to come for the food, have great service, and stay for the party. read more

I have been to this bar a couple of times and each time has been a different but not good experience. It is small and overcrowded on the weekends 9 times out of 10. The bar tenders are friendly but the drinks are overpriced for what they are & not strong enough unless you order doubles. When I went last Friday night, I had ordered drinks from one of the girls walking around that worked there. Then when I went up to the bar, they started a new tab, which is fine but no one told me I had two separate tabs. I ended up closing out one tab but then accidentally left my card on the bar top upon leaving. When I went back a couple days later, the daytime bartender was extremely rude to me and seemed upset that I didn't close my second tab. I told him I wasn't from VB & didn't understand how the "two different tabs thing" worked there and he just ran my card, gave me a receipt that didn't let me add a tip, and walked away from me as if he wanted me to leave. I wouldn't go back to this bar simply because of the staff! read more

I was very surprised to see the negative reviews. I saw all colors of the rainbow in there on a Friday night and an array of how people were dressed. Some in jeans, some a bit more classy. I did see reserved seating for some of the tables for birthdays, but that is not at all uncommon! The music playing was a great dance mix and was not overly loud. You didn't need to shout to have a conversation. The booths are very cozy for larger groups. Since there were only two of us, we opted to sit at the coffin shaped bar in the middle. There was a very diverse crowd sitting at that "table". We were greeted by the waitress and we ordered our drinks. The menu looked pretty standard for a bar menu. I ordered the steak wrap with Mac and cheese. The steak was perfectly cooked and was very tasty. It was a higher quality than I was expecting! The mac and cheese was surprisingly amazing! The cheese was so gooey and worked so well! My friend got the tuna bites and he loved them. The waitress was a little too interested in my friend and every time we were speaking or he touched me, she was there immediately to interrupt. It seemed like a coincidence at first, but we found it funny to play the game and noticed it each time. She was a good waitress at first, but after the crowd started to pick up a little, we were a bit neglected. There was a gentleman that was there immediately to take our drinks and bring us new. I can only assume he was the owner or manager. He was very friendly. We will go back. read more

Racist Racist Racist. Funny story, a couple of my friends and I waited outside in line for hours while the bouncers let all the white pple behind us including my White boyfriend at the time (he arrived a few minutes before me). Then after waiting for almost a hour, we were told it was over capacity and now we needed to be on the guest list, mind you we were on a list because we were invited by a one of our friends who was playing that night , but ended up missing his set due to the apparent racism! Never going here again and I suggest you don't either! read more

Great party, great club and a great atmosphere on the Saturday night I came. After the party we went to the other smoking section and ordered chicken kabobs. They were great read more

Venue 112 - Drink time - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Not really into loud cramped up bars but I actually had a great time here on Saturday night. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday along with a good friends birthday. My friend called in ahead of time so we got two tables, balloons and cupcakes (all courtesy of Venue). I thought that was super sweet of them to do that for birthdays. There were actually alot of birthdays there that night. There is a seperate room that was smoking. It was occupied with a private party when we got there around 8:30pm. I read other peoples encounter with racism. I was there were a group of different nationalities and didn't have any issues. Everyone from the bouncer, to bartender to waitresses were all nice. Alot of our friends smoke/vape so we eventually moved into the smoking section once it was opened. My friends and I had a great time! Yes, it was super packed but I never had an issue waiting in line for the bathroom nor waiting for a drink. Service was top notch! read more

Venue 112 - Birthday celebration :) - New American Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Every time I go here I have such a great time, no matter what day it is. I get amazing service no matter how busy it is (even pre-COVID). The food comes out great no matter what time it is. Common thing here, no matter what it is, it's right. Highly recommend. read more

Pretty casual as far as their dress code. We come here often on Monday ( shoutout to Ryan), which happens to be college night. Sometimes it's packed sometimes it's not, but the drinks are pretty reasonable. It's also nice to be able to go out and dance comfortably because the bartenders and bouncers do a great job of making sure the creepers don't linger. I have never ate food there before, not counting 2am Mac and cheese bites which are awesome! However, yesterday we decided to stop by for dinner ($12.99 Ribeye meal with two sides) and let me telllll you! Everything from the presentation to the taste was amazing! Meghan the bartender was so nice and accommodating and the cook was so sweet he made sure to come and ask us how everything tasted. Will be back for dinner soon! read more

This place is awesome! The food is great and the vibe is great! I love the island burger. I've been here a lot of times, but last night I turned up. Did some dancing and took 3 girls back to my hotel! They had fun, I had fun! This is a great venue! The Dj was good too, better than most DJs in the clubs! read more

Horrible experience before... I made this post I gave the bartender & the owner a chance to correct their wrongs.The greedy money hungry owner decided that money was worth more than this post ...when I first got there they served me out of a dirty glass that look like someone had drank out of it already ...the bartender switched it out and brought me a new drink ..I order my hookah and it was very harsh the hookah person tried to fix it to no avail.. when I turned the hookah around I realized.. that it was filthy it was a disposable hose that already been used... please see attached pictures ...this place is dirty ..serves dirty drinks and dirty hookahs ...don't waste your time... this is a total pass by/rip off spot read more

** Speaking only for Game Night Tuesdays! :D $2.50 wells for happy hour until 9PM?! COUNT ME IN. It's also a taco night~ But really, the charm of this place is N64 games set-up: Smash on one side and Mario Kart on the other. I wasn't really... around for N64, but I love the console regardless. Man, do those joy sticks do work on your thumbs though. It's awesome. Get drunk. Play games. There's also robot boxing available! Another thumb-heavy game, lol. Connect Four is set up, and it's a quick round of a 1 v 1 if you want bragging rights against your friend(s) for the night. Cards Against Humanity with expansions are available, and that game is hilarious. Operation is missing some pieces, but it's still difficult af. Jenga is the best group game to play drunk, often with the rules of "loser takes a shot." The bartender that's been there the past couple times is awesome! He tries to remember your order, and he's super accommodating! He's quick and friendly. Even if you wanted to enjoy happy hour alone and watch some TV, this is the guy you want behind the bar. He cares about the customers and is experienced in his field. read more

Terrible terrible terrible. On all accounts this bar is the worst. From service to atmosphere. I'm sorry, I like watching females dance just as much as the next guy but when you have 12 men surrounding 3 girls on the island bar like starving dogs waiting for a treat. It's not appealing. The bar keep charged me for a drink I never ordered when I complained about the mistake he made I was given a rude look and was forced to wait 10 minutes just to receive a new bill. I won't be coming back to this establishment. Maybe it was the jersey shore meat head vibe or maybe the feeling I was surrounded by a ton of guys who never get any action. Regardless it was uncomfortable. Stray far far away from this place. It's not safe. read more

This is a very racist spot. For some reason my friends are gluttons for punishment and keep trying to go there. We have gotten in 5 times out of over 30 attempts. We get turned away immediately due to some imaginary guest list while we get to watch white people stroll right in. I hate this place. Once inside though the service from the waitresses/beer girls was above average and the food I tried there was very good. I did like that you could see into the open kitchen in the back area where the restrooms are located. The atmosphere was fun and the DJ played typical top twenty song mixes. This place would be pretty OK if it wasn't for their racist admittance policy, but that seems to place the blame on the owner/manager and not the workers. read more

Go here only if- You are all about tribal tattoos and back tattoos. You really miss going to frat parties. You don't want to hear anything your friends have to say over the loud music. You don't mind seeing ugly people and pretty people shaking ass at each other. You like ridiculously strong drinks. (I'm pretty sure their mixers are nothing more than food coloring.) You are unafraid of packs of overly-muscled guys clad in Tap-Out or Ed Hardy muscle shirts that give you and everyone you came with the once over that says, "I will either fight you or f*ck you. And it makes no difference to me which one it will be." You want to pretend that you got invited to a very rich celebrity's living room and want to throw down like a rock star. (And really, this place feels as big as a living room.) You like seeing side-boob and bottom-buttcheek. When you're here you will see both on men as well as women. You are a lonely soul that really wants to meet your soul mate. If only the world can see past the outward appearances and facades that we all put on as armor to shield us from the rest of the world. Maybe, just maybe, if I dance hard enough and drink as much as I can, he or she can see the real me trapped inside here..... Or you can just go here for a dirty hook-up O.P.P- style. Otherwise, go somewhere else. (P.S.- I claim Flelp on the rest of the reviews for this place except for Lauren D.'s review that got unfairly filtered.) read more

Upon our first and only visit to Venue 112, we personally renamed it A**, due to the incredible amount of booties that were shaken in my boyfriends face. Honestly, this isn't a horrible location. The drinks were decent and strong, but a bit on the pricy side ($4.25 for a Yuengling? I mean come on.) The atmosphere was absolutely high energy, and I could see myself having a great time if I were single, looking to be hit on, and very drunk. However, being NONE of the above, the experience was strange. The floor was so sticky that each step resulted in the bottom of my shoes getting stuck to the floor. It was interesting to see the girls dancing on the bar, something that we don't really have close to home. It was uncomfortable to watch the men standing around the bar, drooling at the women twerking up in the air (which they were actually exceptionally good at, they must go here a lot). We agreed that for a sports bar, the side booths with the low and central TV would be an incredible place to watch a game with a group of friends- but when there isn't a game on, it is difficult to see the TV through the legs of the girls dancing on the table. Or maybe it's the same when there is a game on, which would be annoying. You definitely need to be a club enjoyer to have a good time at this location. The music was CRAZY loud (we could hear it in the car when we were pulling in to the parking lot). I would have rated it three stars if the drinks weren't so expensive. But they were. So it gets two. I think the only saving grace was our amazing waitress who was dressed appropriately (as opposed to another waitress who was wearing a neon green fishnet shirt with a bikini bottom), and was extremely attentive and ALMOST apologetic about the atmosphere. read more

This review is a little late but I went here with a few of my friends in January and as much as I hate to say it but it was absolutely terrible. Our waitress didn't acknowledge our presence for about 10mins after we had sat down (whatever, no big deal) she took our drink orders and within 10mins we had our drinks. The downside came when we ordered our food. It took forever to come, 20mins at least. To add insult to injury our waitress neglected to bring us silverware even after she brought the food (by now we've been sitting for 40mins at least.) While waiting for silverware we ordered another round of drinks. I realize finding a bar that actually serves strong mixed drinks is usually awesome however, I ordered another of the same drink (can't recall the name of it) and it was SO strong I couldn't even drink it. NO ONE in our group of 5 could. The drink was something like $8 and it was a total waste. The bartender probably could have made 2 or 3 drinks out of my 1 drink. As far as the food goes we ordered the she crab soup, crap mac n' cheese, calamari, and a regular burger. Supposedly the burger was good BUT the crab mac n' cheese had SOOOOOO many shells we couldn't even eat it. It was in fact the worst thing I have ever experienced when it comes to food. I realize bar food isn't exactly 5 star quality usually but really? There were more shells than crab meat. The worst part was that our waitress never returned for us to even complain. Decor was nice, from the moment we walked in we had high hopes but in the end we wasted around $100. read more

So, mayhaps, because we did not go here with the immediate intentions of slammin back some shots & cruisin on some chicks - just maybe that is why we did not enjoy ourselves here. The atmosphere is very overwhelming. Super tribal 'cool' sort of look that made me want to say "Bro" a lot and for some inexplicable reason buy a Tapout t-shirt.... Anyway, the service was very slow. Our steaks were very bland. I have a feeling this is very much a 'club' aimed scene and does not actually intend to provide you with customer service or satisfactory dining. read more

Well...a planned night to just chill at a bar and sip on a few drinks turned into one of hell of a buzz. My buddy and I were searching for a new hang out a few Fridays ago and decided to give this place a shot. I really like this place but just have been too busy to come back to hang out. For starters they have a separate room for smokers. In seeing this my buddy and I planned to puff on our cigars but got so into the bar scene we hung out all night. They had a DJ playing some kick ass remixes. There were a few TV screens around the bar that allowed us to keep up with what was going on in the sports world. Drinks were pretty strong (attributing to my buzz). The place gives off a good party roll with your entourage feel. Instead of confetti being tossed into the air they use napkins. Apparently napkins are cheaper than confetti. When you walk into the joint there are two separate "VIP" like areas that are good for groups. If you're into people watching patrons will get up on the table and dance. They do serve food but we didn't eat so I'll have to give that a try later. I do remember seeing some flyers advertising big parties. When I'm in the mood to get another buzz I'll come back. read more

I always enjoy hanging out here for a few reasons: the drinks are strong and not overpriced; the food is excellent; separate smoking room so people don't hang around and clog up the entrance; hookah options are pretty darn good; clean bathrooms; and watching the karaoke is super entertaining. The waitresses look a bit slutty, but I think that's part of the appeal to the dude crowd, along with the football on TV. Clientele can be a little rough, but the people watching is first class. read more

This type of place isn't usually my scene, hence why I've only been here twice but to my surprise I've actually enjoyed myself. I've only been here at night when it's a club/bar but I think they serve food as well. It's a small space and have a few tables/booths if you're not in the mood to stand. The nights I've been, the music was good. I definitely wouldn't come here by myself though. It's one of those places I'll only go if my friends choose to go. read more

Had a friend go there last night. When he left he forgot his credit/debit card with the bartender so he went back to get it. They would NOT let him in, even after repeated attempts to get his card. Management then called police and had him arrested. I call that quality customer service - NOT. Stay away !!!! read more

stopped by last night for a friends birthday. haven't been here for years. I've heard negative stuff about them not letting black people in. that is so not true. more than half of the patrons were black. I was fairly entertained by the drunk girl dancing on the bar. she seemed happy. the drink prices seemed fairly decent. good music and good vibes. the crowd was a little strange. something between pretty models, girls that might have been guys, girls that looked like they might have been waiting for a john and the guys were meh. but hey, I'm too old to be out there anyways. read more

I came to this establishment last Saturday night and I was blown away by how well they were following the COVID guidelines! I know it has been hard for all of the bar/restaurant industry employees and owners, but bartender Lina was on top of it! Not only that but the food was amazing!! The tuna bites, medium rare... so good!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Great place for dinner with friends and/or loved ones. The food was surprisingly great all-around. The mixed drinks were strong as well. Having lived in the Middle East for several years, I've tried many different lamb dishes. However, the first time I tried a ground-lamb burger was at this restaurant. Topped with tomato and feta, it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. read more

Love this place so much ! The atmosphere is great! Always a good time whether busy or not! The bartenders take good care of everyone that comes in! The bouncers are awesome! One of the best places where you can just have a good time with friends and also a cool place to meet new friends! I recommend this place to all my friends and they have yet to be disappointed. Their wings are good and their bbq nachos are to die for. This will forever be a place to go to no matter what. Still has yet to disappoint! read more

Love the food! Pretty awesome for a bar. The mojitos are excellent. Plenty of room to move around. Separate smoking room and OMG 4 bathrooms! read more

Not much on their after hours partying atmosphere. Too old for that anymore. But their food is awesome. Killer burgers & more! Great specials during the week. Real, high quality tacos on Tuesdays & 1/2 price gourmet burgers on Fridays. The chef there makes magic in that little kitchen. read more

This is not a racist spot. I have been coming here for over a year and i have always been treated fairly. what my people must understand is the prospective of the business owner. Bars and night clubs are always on the police's radar. And everyone knows how my people can muck up a good club with fighting or shooting. This is not one of those night clubs that pats-down their patrons. If it was i wouldn't go. So if the door man deems certain people to be of a certain element and not the type of people they want in the club i'm good with that. signed Black Man. read more

Overall racist, it's 2015 we had to wait outside and white patrons walk in. I would give a 0 if possible.

I wish I could review the atmosphere, food, drinks, service, etc., but when we went to the bouncer to ask if there was a cover charge, he mentioned something about only allowing in people on the VIP guest list. Venue is one of the last places in Hampton Roads that should have a guest list. It's tiny, overcrowded, and not that great. After saying only VIP is allowed in, he asked our guy friend who he's with, so he goes "there's me, another guy, and two lesbians." Bouncer goes "are they lesbians or are they dykes?" Excuse me? Who the fuck asks that? So, I didn't even get to make it in. Wish I could give zero stars but I'll just have to settle with one. read more

Weren't really sure what to think of the place, but saw it on a Facebook group and decided to try it out. Best decision we've made in a LONG time! I've never written a review before, but it felt like we had to say something to get other people to try this place. Would go back for the customer service alone, but luckily the food was also incredible. We got the Carolina burger with Mac and cheese, Chesapeake burger with Mac and cheese bites, broccoli and cheese bites (our favorite of the bunch!), and two desserts. Every item was incredible, but we still can't get over how great the service was. Curbside pickup so we didn't even have to get out of the car! They wrote us the CUTEST lil note thanking us for our business, and we truly can't wait to return! We're thinking sometime this weekend! read more
