    The aesthetic of this place is super cute and really close to the beach, so the location is perfect. They even have a little corner where you can take pictures in a wicker chair. They were shuffleboard and bocce that you could pay to play. We didn't play anything because we were in a rush, but we did order a couple of appetizers. The appetizers were good. We had coconut shrimp, wings, and brisket sliders. The sliders came with waffle fries, but we didn't really eat those. We did finish everything else. If you're looking for a place to relax and hang out, beachside social totally gives that vibe. Next time we'll definitely play games.

    Beachside Social is a fun spot with a big, open space and lots of energy. There are games set up in the middle, and you can even reserve lanes, which makes it great for groups. It was quite empty when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of seating areas, so it's easy to hang out and relax. The food is your typical bowling alley-style fare -- tasty but a bit on the pricey side. The options we got were good! Overall, it's a solid place for parties or teens to hang out and have a good time!

    Beachy Beautiful inside. I absolutely love the colorful umbrellas over the tables. Makes it feel like summertime. Even during the winter it has that summer vibe. It's wonderful. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Easy to sign up and on a busy Saturday we only waited 10 minutes before getting a court for Shuffleboard. Then if you have never played (like us) they give you a nice lesson and tell you to make a few practice shots. Now lets get to the food. We got sliders, wings, waffle fries, and a hummus tray. All of it came out fast and wonderful. The sliders were perfect in every way and the perfect size. Wings had alot of flavor, they are finger licking good. Ok, you know I got a cocktail. Bahama Mama was excellent and a really good size, I highly recommend all the food and definitely order a drink. YUMMMM. Everything was wonderful. Happy staff, great location, tasty food and wonderful drinks. I can't wait to go back. I was the big winner By The Way. This is a must if your in the Virginia Beach area. Or make a special trip because it is worth it. It is such a GREAT time.

    Beachside social has a fun retro vibe. They have an insta-worthy giant Virginia Beach sign as you're coming up the stairs and once you get upstairs it's one wide open floor plan with the bar, the shuffleboard courts and bocce ball in the back food off to the side and there's also tables where you could do board games Being on the upper level and right across from the boardwalk you have fun views and it's a fun way to change things up from the typical bar scene and try something new.

    This is the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon at the beach. It's got a boating and beachy theme, but cute with neon signs and paper lanterns. The main area is wide open and airy, and there's fun activities all around - a photo booth area in one corner, bocce ball in the back, shuffleboard lanes with dining tables at the end of each. There's more seating (counters, lounge seats, dining tables) along the perimeter of the room where groups can play board games, Jenga, Connect 4, and foosball. I enjoyed my drink, a spicy margarita, and they had a nice watermelon juice for my son. We ordered a hummus platter and wings, both of which were good (and the mango habanero wing sauce had just enough heat). Even though the space is huge, and there were a lot of people there, servers are constantly coming around and were helpful.

    Beachside is a cool spot. Food and drinks were very good. Their happy hour is pretty decent and their service is great! The space itself is a little weird. The lighting is super dim and I started to barely be able to see my friends by 8pm, lol. I probably wouldn't return unless I had a burning desire to play shuffle board or bocce.....but a fun spot to try, nonetheless!

    My husband and I rented two shuffleboard lanes at Beachside Social to spend time with our extended family the night before our wedding. Booking the lanes/catering online was a super easy process. We found the price to be very reasonable for two hours of shuffleboard and catered food for about 30 people. Everyone had an absolute blast and mentioned how they wanted to go back! I would highly recommend hosting any parties/events here.

    My friend and I were made famous by their social media page!

    Everything about Beachside Social is just amazing! The food, the drinks, the fun! They always have a photo"booth" set up with props and whatnot to capture a memorable photo from your experience! The service was impeccable! A group of us went for a joint birthday celebration and for majority of the group it was their first time and they all agreed they very much enjoyed themselves and said they would like to come back again! Highly recommend!

    Dope hang out spot at the oceanfront. We had the shuffleboard lane for about 2 hours. It was my first time playing, but I had fun. This place has plentiful of seating, and tables. Lots of random games to play like jenga & connect four. There is even a cool photo spot area with a bright ring light to take group photos. The staff was super friendly. Bar style food but it was pretty good, and really decent price! I do recommend paying with cash. My friends who paid with card, did see double charges. Also gratuity was added to the shuffle board game, which I do not think should have been added. Otherwise, its a cool spot, with good vibes at the oceanfront. I would come back again.

    Cheers

    Great place for a girls night out! Felt like we were on a cruise ship! Awesome staff to edu-ma-kate your on the rules of "shuffling." Lol Full bar area available. Food available. Selfie station. Great atmosphere. Oh and they have bocce ball as well. I mean....what's not to like? Great for a large party. Work get to together: perfect for team buildings. Street parking available as well.

    This is a really great spot!! They have a great view from the windows of the Main Street. They have plenty of seating areas , a cute bar, small little sections to sit at with board games available to play. They have a large connect 4 and jinga to play as well. They also have a selfie station area. Great place to take group photos. Beachside of course has shuffleboard which is a lot of fun with a group. They also offer leagues in the fall and winter. They have a nice bar with a signature cocktail or two. They do also have some appetizers you can order as well. The staff is really friendly and very knowledgeable about the business I asked about specials they have. I'm really looking forward to going back soon!! I think this is a great first date spot, great for groups, birthday parties. They do play music and it's not so loud that you can't talk. Please be sure to go and share your thoughts on your experience!!

    Beachside Social is the ultimate hangout spot in the Oceanfront area! The vibe is very diner-like yet modern! It was very clean and tidy when we came in. There are so many things to do there like shuffle board, bocce ball, big connect 4, big jenga! On top of that they have a great selection of food and drinks to order. The cheeseburger and brisket sliders come in 3s and they were delicious! The loaded waffle fries were good as well. Very typical diner food but the quality was great! Our server was quite nice. She didn't explain the menu too well and we thought that each of our sliders came with a side of fries or tots but that wasn't the case so we ended up ordering fries on top of the sliders and it made our bill a little more than expected but that's ok. The shuffleboard is $30 per hour and if you're playing with other people, you have the option to split it after the hour is up. There are about 6 courts total! All the other activities like bocce ball, jenga and connect 4 are free. We came when it first opened up on a Sunday so it wasn't busy at all when we came. You can also sit wherever you want so it's like first come first served. I could imagine it being pretty busy on a Friday-Saturday though. I loved that it is completely indoor and nice and cool inside; especially in the summer! One thing I'd mention is that they have their own parking which is super handy (I had no idea and parked a couple streets down and walked)! Definitely a cool date night or group hang out spot! I'll definitely be coming back :)

    Beachside Social is hands down my favorite activity at the beach.... well besides just being at the beach. It's great for rainy days, but still stunning on sunny days. It's great for a date night and even better if you're looking for a place for a larger group of friends to gather. They have a little something for everyone. It's kid friendly, but because of the size of the cues make it difficult for the little ones. I say leave em' with a sitter and make this adult playtime if you can. I've spent hours here between hanging out with friends and participating on their league nights, but I'm still awful. It's all good though. You don't need to be a shuffle-pro to have a great time here. They also have bocci ball and board games! If you aren't feeling playful sip on a few of their beachside mojitos to get you in the mood. Their cocktails are hands down my favorite in VB. The price is right and they are delicious. Their food isn't anything to rave about, but it's great to munch on. I haven't been since COVID hit, but reviews from friends say they have been really comfortable with how they are handling social distancing. One thing I also love about this business is how active the owners are in the community. When the pandemic first hit they created a gift box that featured local products to raise money keeping the makers in business.

    Shuffleboard courts, boccee ball and an assortment of board games behind the bar to entertain anyone.

Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special.

It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable.

Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots.
