Thursdays at 7 PM is Trivia Night with radio personality, Nick Taylor at The OV Beach Tavern! I was…read moreinvited to join the trivia fun by my son and his fiancée who are regulars along with their close friends. Although the tavern was packed with many trivia teams, our server, Loni did an amazing job with food and drink orders. Loni was very welcoming and always had a smile on her face. There were three trivia rounds of 10 questions each, followed by a bonus question. I am proud to say that I contributed to each round and surprised myself at the "wisdom" I could still muster up during the friendly, but competitive atmosphere of Trivia Night. Nick Taylor was a comical game host who worked the crowd and kept the game moving along nicely. If you're looking for a great place to relax with a cold drink and maybe try your hand at Trivia Night, The OV Beach Tavern is a great option on Thursday nights. There's lots of space indoors, a full bar that was smoothly managed by bartender Lindsay, and ample outdoor seating, too! And pets are welcome on the pet-friendly, outdoor patio.

We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the oscillating fans that misted water. We did not enjoy the extremely LOUD music that was playing, even outside. It was a bit much. The food was good, bar service was good, and we MAY come here again. I think it needs a thorough clean up and maybe is more of a bar/club/nightlife type of feel- it has that icky, sticky sort of feeling to it. Just kinda rundown. The food was good though, so it kinda balanced out, I guess. I'll come back if a group of my friends are, but most likely not on my own.

I am annoyed with her attitude .... I ask for a watermelon shooter and she said "ok watermelon shot ,what's in it?" .......so I tell her 1/2 oz watermelon pucker 1/2 oz vodka and splash sprite .... She then looks at me and tells me she is a bartender and doesn't need to know the oz/pours .... I'm not even gonna stay here at this bar and entertain that disrespectful attitude.... at that point I realized that this woman is trash and just wants to treat people rudely bc she is upset with her life. So I got cash from ATM and left a 20 on the bar for my one yuengling logger .... Hopefully she has a better night with the tip I left bc she obviously needs money more than I do and with that attitude, you won't make money... don't go here... poor management!!

In 2023, they closed their original location of Shore Drive and set sights on a new local which was expanded. They have finally reopened and we got a chance to stop in to see how they were doing. Let's check it out shall we? We were seated a minute after walking in. There were a few people dining inside on this cloudy day. The decor is nice resembling a type of restaurant you may see in New Orleans. Right when I was looking through the menu, I ran into Chef Moe who greeted me with a handshake. It has been years since we last saw each other but the vibes came right back since Sophia and I were long-standing customers. We couldn't talk long since he was busy, but it was great to run into him again smiling from ear to ear seeing me there. Great people indeed. How was the food you might ask? Pretty damn good. We both ordered their fried catfish meals with sides (mine came with fries and sweet cornbread and Sophia's with mashed potatoes and gravy and mac-and-cheese). The fish was seasoned perfectly and was huge. It was big enough to cover a football field (just kidding). The fries, as always, tasted great and the cornbread was delish. The both of us ended up taking home leftovers where the food didn't lose any taste from before. It was so refreshing to stop by after so many years. And it was wonderful seeing Chef Moe continue to bring good vibes to the Norfolk community through his cooking. You know we'll be back soon. Till next time :)
