It's been long overdue for a visit here at Capstan. Sophia and I have been going here since they opened up in 2018 and have been regulars ever since. For the most part, Sound Check Bingo has been our go-to where we and a few friends would participate. Beer, food and bingo.....a true win-win. Before coming out last night, I placed a reservation for a table given Fridays would turn out a crowd. Turns out it was the best call since a lot of them were occupied with a big crowd. We ended up with high chairs which wasn't a problem at all. As far as beer goes, I ordered a Light Speed lager which went well with my pizza selection. And Sound Check Bingo was pretty fun with the crowd being engaged. They even had one dude who rapped to Ice Ice Baby. Priceless!! None of us won any rounds, but being out like this was truly worth it. Just like many, many visits, this one did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back soon. Till next time :) read more

Capstan Bar Brewing Company - Light Speed lager - Breweries Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

This is such a fun brewery with nice employees, fun weekly events and rotating food trucks! They also have very nice smelling restrooms and I like their light fixtures. I was here most recently for their music bingo night. They have plenty of seating in two different areas that are connected. They usually have a food truck out back for guests to grab something to eat. A large beer selection for those who enjoy beer. read more

My favorite brewery in Hampton in my opinion. Themed nights, to include music bingo, trivia, wing Wednesdays and more. Off the beaten path. Good food trucks. The staff is friendly and service is great. Good environment for families. New releases relatively often. And they brew good beer. read more

Cool spot, especially if you're into hoppy beers. Or maybe not- I don't drink much beer, so I can't really speak on that. The beers weren't up my alley, but I loved the atmosphere of the spot! You're able to make a reservation for a table if you need, which is great! They do have a seltzer also, for those of you like myself. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Literally off the beaten path, but a fun brewery to hit after work with co-workers or for a lovely pint with your partner. Food trucks are available.for delicious eats and they rotate depending on the day of the week. Highly suggest checking out the kettle corn... Sweet & Salty deliciousness and pairs well with a few of the beers on tap. Outdoor space is nice. Simple tables with umbrellas and a few outdoor speakers so you can listen to thw live bands. Swing by, grab an pint and chill with friends... read more

Man, where do I start. Not only is the food, service and the whole environment a great place but Kevin and Caroline are amazing people. The pulled pork is always my go to and I can eat it everyday if I could. The tri-tip and pork belly burnt ends are amazing. Everything they have on their menu is to die for. read more

A fun spot that welcomes families, friends and dogs! Although I'm not a beer drinker, I still have a good time. This time I went they had sodas, but I hope that in the future they may have seltzers or ciders. We went on a Friday for the music bingo! It's really a great time and winners help pick the next round which helps tailor the game to who's playing. The food truck rotates but we are from Get Cheesy and with that buzzer system, it made it really easy to order and keep playing the game. For the beer drinkers, they tend to have cream ale, kolsche etc and they have some pretty while flavors like a just released key lime pie. Also two beers on their menu have a quantity limit for those seeking a high ABV. read more

Fantastic brewery stashed around the backside of a non-discreet business office plaza. Most importantly, the beers were excellent. We tried the hard seltzer (tons of flavors to choose from), brown ale, a few IPA's and a sour. The bartender was super knowledgeable about all of the beers and she was friendly and seemed like she really enjoys the job. Overall, definitely would give it a try if good beer is your thing! read more

3.5 rounded down. The people here were soooo insanely nice but I think I came here with different expectations. Came on a Saturday afternoon ready to win some money! It should've been a tell all sign that there was no info on having to sign up/the fee for play but I'm new to bingo so I really didn't know any better. It was pretty hard to find this location as it's not really located by anything much. Just keep going and pay attention to all the signs. Not a lot of parking, but we found a spot. So nice inside! Low & high tables. Nice young man passing out the bingo cards to get the game started. The prize you ask? A pen. Next round it was a pack of drill bits. Honestly flabbergasted because this was a 30+ minute drive! This was not the type of bingo I was expecting x10. I think the icing on the cake was the fact they don't serve food here but you can order some pizza from next door. Yay. Overall, great place for locals and those who want to spend a chill Saturday afternoon playing bingo with their elders. Just not for me as an interested bingo player trying to win a lil something something read more

Great beer, service and atmosphere! The Sunday sampler special was a deal at $10 for five 5oz pours.

Totally thought I lost but we found this place! The outside looks deceiving... it was bigger inside than a thought! The staff was super friendly, we ordered a beer and got it promptly.... did I mention I'm not a beer drinker? But this beer was delicious. I am not sure the exact name but it is Strawberry Basil. Having the rack with games makes it super friendly to go and hang out. They had all kinds of "nights" which seem like so much fun.. BINGO... Trivia... karaoke. read more

The beer is top notch, the environment is great and comfortable and my girlfriend said the bathroom is the best she has been to at a brewery. read more

We went here on a whim on a rainy Sunday night! We were 2 out 5 people in the whole establishment! It was amazing! The bartender was friendly, cheerful, kept the mood light and airy. I ordered a seltzer and didn't know which flavor to choose. She mixed up her own concoction and it was stellar! We will definitely go back again and again! read more

Just opened!!! New establishment with easy in and out access. Small quant, but open floor plan with lots of seating. Everything is presented nicely clean and simple. There is a Window in the door leading to the brewing area. Not sure at this time if they allow tours. The room is not that big. You can just about see it all from the window. For only being open for about a week, they already have a good size of regulars. Currently there is five beers on tap. If your not sure which one to try, get the "rack of five". A taster of all. read more

Capstan Bar Brewing Company is a good place for a solid beer selection. I tried their Belgium Quad, which I liked a lot. I also tried the Lemon Drop IPA. This IPA was a good choice as well. No indoor food option; however, they do have food trucks occasionally. Capstan Bar Brewing Company is certainly a place to go to with your family and friends for an after work break, or a Saturday or Sunday afternoon break. read more

Fun atmosphere and great food truck out back. I am not really a beer drinker but we came here on a Friday night.. It was trivia night which means you need to get there early or you will not get a seat. We were not there to play trivia so we decided to hang out back and play corn hole and talk to the DD214 food truck guy who was very cool. The food he served up was great and he gave us a couple free things too. Beer is good but like I said I am not a big beer drinker. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and it was just a nice relaxed atmosphere. It is in a bit of an odd location. Be aware if you Uber here it will bring you out front and you have to go around the building to find it. That is important for when you leave because the Uber driver will arrive out front and never see you. So... you must walk to the front. I would come back! read more

This brewery is fairly new but I think it's going to be a hit! It's a very laid back place with some great beer. I personally don't like beer all that much but they offer a few fruity choices, and that's my style. I tried both of the sweeter options and I liked the raspberry one. I believe they rotate their flavors, which is cool for variety. They also have the bitter stuff too, if that's what you're into. The staff was very nice. The place is full of cool people. They hold events almost every day, such as trivia, bingo, and bands. Fun stuff and awesome people does make beer taste a little better ;) My only thing is the location. I did find it kinda hard to find. There's really nothing going on near their spot. It's sad, it wouldn't really be a place you just stop by, unless you know it's there and intend on going. With more advertising and more business this place really has potential to thrive! So get the word out and give it a go! Full send. read more

Found this place with a google search, otherwise I would never know it was here. Very poor location for business but I'm glad we found it. Beer selection was great and they had live music. I prefer IPA's and thoroughly enjoyed their Hazy IPA. Definitely will be going back again during one of their numerous specials/events. read more

Beers were good and service was great. Not a lot of the beers were for my pallet, but I liked all the ones I did try. No one in our party of 5 disliked their choices either. So, they've got a few beers for all tastes. The place is a little hard to find, signage isn't the best and it totally is off the beaten path. Food truck was on sight though, had some great food to go with those beers. read more

Did care for beer selections, probably will not return. Si many other good breweries in area.

One of the best breweries in the area! Amazing staff, different food trucks come regularly so there's almost always amazing food, and the beer is truly one of a kind! New beers rotate in all the time and never disappoint! read more

Great beer and people! Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Food truck is great too. Will come back again when in the area.

Recently went here as it was the location for an after party for Ghost Fleet Roller Derby. it was only our second time there and I will say since the first time I think they have added options. My bartender was great; She offered a taste of a beer I was considering and offered to spruce up the option I went with. I ordered 2 beers while I was there this visit. First was the cream ale. Just Yum!!!! Second was Oatmeal Raisin Brown Ale- this one I got a shot of Caramel and OMG!!! Delicious. They had a food truck out back (DD214) which hit the spot and went well with the beer. I love that breweries are partnering with food trucks like this. Most of the patrons were outside because the weather was nice but seating was not available so we found a spot inside and chose a game from their wall of options. I definitely recommend this spot... it's hidden and quiet so it feels like it in it own world. read more

The staff is wonderful. It's an atmosphere that welcomes families with kids & dogs. They have some kind of activity or special each night. Plus a plethora of board & card games read more

Great beer, with a variety of styles to fit most tastes. Very loud inside a small space with local bands playing in costume on 30 October....all good fun, but our group went out back to talk. Ok, Halloween can be weird. . Will try again on another afternoon. read more

Very large and clean facility. Decor feels very comfortable. Very friendly bartenders! Will definitely come again. read more

Made a detour here because of tunnel traffic. We LOVED it here! Both of us had flights and we loved every single one of them! Wasn't your typical IPA after IPA. Had a terrific assortment, which is always a plus. Looking forward to getting trapped in Hampton in the future again so we can revisit. read more

I haven't been home for about two years and I came home for a visit and was shocked at how big the craft beer scene has become! I suggest to my family to try this place out for their Thursday trivia night. It is in a really obscure location, behind apartments, in the Hampton Roads complex but the inside is very nicely done. I'm a big wheat beer fan so I wasn't 100% excited about the selections here and my mom doesn't drink beer so there wasn't anything for her. However we still found something and we had fun trying to come up with the trivia answers. They have some menus available if you want to order food and have it delivered.... looks like they sometimes have food trucks too. Check it out especially if you are into IPAs and ales. You'll enjoy it!!! read more

Best beer on the peninsula, hidden off the beaten path. Staff is friendly, space is great, and they have scheduled entertainment almost every night of the week. read more

Not sure what the fuss is about. Poor service. Was basically ignored. Good beer selection and prices are decent, but bad service ruined it for me. Maybe they were having a bad day. read more

Amazing place! Definitely a hidden gem. Customer service to cleanliness is an A+. Price is right and dogs are allowed so that's a bonus. They don't serve food but you can bring your own in. read more

Great beer and a great atmosphere. All the bartenders are very friendly and professional. Plus they have trivia nights which are GREAT! A must after a long day at work or a night out with friends. read more

This is a cool little place that is always doing some kind of event you should definitely check them out

First off - so impressed with the beers! I loved every single one I tried. Also, there was a pizza food truck that everybody in my group raved about! We would have definitely made this one of our regular stops regardless, but THIS made Capstan at the top of our list: I left a pair of brand new, unisex Costas on the table. Anybody could have swiped them, but I messaged Capstan the next morning and I got a quick response. The responder messaged every person on staff the night before asking about my glasses. THEY HAD THEM and they let me know they would be waiting for me and to come on back for a beer. Bottom line - Capstan is awesome, the people that work there are awesome, and they are attracting awesome customers. Can't wait to go back! read more

In this place you can find friendly bartenders,good beer selection, and different games events through the whole week. . Food truck are available from Thur-Sun but in absence of food trucks you can still order uber eats as an option or other places nearby that will bring your food to the location. Recommended read more

Place felt very exclusive waking in. No one to welcome us or telling us where to sit. We went to the bar and the bartender halfway thru me trying to order turned to someone else and got their drink then came back. As someone who goes to a lot of bars there are courtesies and she missed them immediately. Wasn't attentive to us. No food options and place was crowded with kids which was odd. read more

Stopped in while passing through. They only had 5 brews but I had a flight and was very pleased with all 5. Nice atmosphere and extremely clean business. Would visit agin and actually thinking of making a road trip to visit this place and my last review (Weeping Radish in N.C.). read more

This is a newer brewery in Hampton. Adam and his team are very knowledgeable and personable. Come out, taste some great beer, and meet some great people! read more

Chill place, good beer. I had the porter, which was pretty good. Had a brick oven pizza food truck (Fire & Pie) yesterday when I went that was delicious and offers military discount to those in uniforms (not just with military ID). I'm excited to have a cool spot nearby. It'll probably be my new watering hole. read more

Love this place. Friendly staff and locals, fun events, but mainly, the beer is amazing. Fresh and flavorful! The Brown Ale is the best I ever had. read more
