Drinks & Nightlife

They have great flights and delicious appetizers! It's a cute, cozy wine bar in a converted house, right across the street from EVMS. They have a community table and plenty of bar seating if you want to meet people and it also makes a lovely casual date.

Norfolk's award-winning taproom with dozens of drafts on rotation and an impressive bottle menu. Casual and hip, this is one of our favorite places to drink in town, and definitely the best beer selection.

Food Scene

One of our favorite coffee shops in Norfolk! They do a great pour over with Counter Culture's single origin coffees out of Durham. Great brunch options on weekends. An easy walk right at the northeast entrance to the hip and historic Freemason neighborhood that will take you across the Hague.

A Ghent icon, Cafe Stella is great for early coffee or late night draft beers. Good food any time of day, any day of the week. They roast their own coffee in the 2nd gen/nuovo italiano style. Live music sometimes.

Best biscuits in Norfolk! A tiny shop with some outdoor seating on the other side of the tracks. Go for the funky atmosphere and people watching, stay for the rich and buttery sweet potato biscuit sandwiches with southern staples like spicy greens or fried chicken generously stuffed in. Breakfast and lunch only.

The BEST pizza in Norfolk. Fresh brick fired non-GMO pizza crusts with a constant rotation of fresh and local ingredients, delightful breakfast pastries, and handcrafted loaves of bread baked fresh every day - if you eat gluten Bakehouse has you covered. The best combo is to go next door to the Birch and order some beers, the staff will happily bring your pizza over for you when it's ready. If Kenny's working, tell him Jason and Erin sent you.
