If you're a couple and not a group, give them a try. heck, give them a try anyway. everyone was so nice!

It's very modern yet with a classic vibe. Sorta steam punk esque if you will. I had several classes of Jameson (my favorite) and my friend tried the Violette and the Mr. Pink (play on a Negroni) which were both very good. We also shared some Old Bay French fries which were very yummy. The service was great! The bartender was very knowledgeable about the drinks and was even able to offer substitutions for ingredients in the drinks. We stayed until the lights came on and the manager kindly told us it was time to go lol. Love the experience!

There are seats at the bar, high tops, and tables, so just be patient and claim your place when one frees up. The servers will appreciate you. Our server, Makaya S. was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our orders of traditional wings. My husband ordered his in Nashville Hot, but I opted for Mango Habanero for my flavor. Yummy! We shared fries, which were pretty good, just needed a little more salt. My husband really liked their sweet tea, but I enjoyed a refreshing Bold Rock Imperial Berry on draft! This sports bar & grill restaurant was busy, most likely due to the special on wings, but the arrival of our food orders to our table was so fast! Thanks to Buckets and your kitchen staff and notably quick servers for making Wednesday a great dining option for Chesapeake!

Shout out to Sky Bar for bringing the igloo culture to Virginia Beach!…read moreNow if we could just keep this trend going in Spring/Summer... May I recommend a possible bungalow rental, just like your igloos? Can you tell Summer is on my mind? Sky Bar is one of my favorite places to go. I love the trendy, upscale atmosphere, but they still keep you grounded with their prices being fair & reasonable. They usually also have happy hour, when Sky Bar is actually Sky Bar, not their homemade winter wonderland. I'm going to highlight their igloos though, only because it's something seasonal, and new. You get an igloo reserved for up to 4 of your closes friends, and the igloo comes with: -personal server -decorated, social-distanced space -two heaters -blankets you can take home -waters -and honestly so many picture perfect opportunities. The food on the menu was also amazing, and I am all about experience, so I would highly recommend the s'mores kit. It makes the atmosphere seem more bonded, it's a warm winter night where you are able to do this, and the s'mores kit just set the tone to be a little more perfect. They have their signature drinks, or regular drinks to order just like a bar as well. They also do offer non-alcoholic beverages if anyone was wondering, wish also makes it kid-friendly! Nothing in the igloo was breakable either, which was nice not to worry about. I wish there was a little more space, to maybe have up to 5-6 people. Either way, I loved it. I loved the experience, and I can't wait for next Winter to do this again! And that says a lot, because if you know me, I hate the cold. But I will face Winter if I know I'm going here!

When my husband and I were dating, he took me to a WXZY lounge in Durham NC on two occasions and it…read morewas a great vibe each time. So, I was hopeful that the WXYZ lounge and bar in Chesapeake would be similar and provide a great atmosphere to get together for a fun, chill hangout with our friends. We were not disappointed. There was ample seating and a large table where we were able to share a meal and play board games. The lounge has games in the lobby area, which we weren't expecting, but was nice to see. We had brought our own games. My friend ordered a mocktail and enjoyed it. The four of us ordered chicken buffalo dip and fish and chips to share. I couldn't eat the chicken buffalo dip because I have a dairy allergy, but everyone said it was good. I did really enjoy the fish and chips. The fries were hot, thick, and well seasoned. The cod was very tasty as well, the skin was perfectly crispy but the meat was tender inside. While we didn't take pictures of the menu this time, I took a look at the menu online and there are some options listed on the website that were not printed on the physical menus we saw, but for what was the same the prices matched. The fish and chips isn't on the website but was on the physical menu and was affordable (two pieces or cod and ample fries). Our server (also the bartender) was nice and provided good service. The hours that they're open make it a great hangout spot for Friday nights and weekends. The restrooms are clean. The noise level was moderate and fine. We definitely recommend for hanging out with friends and will be coming back in the future.

This tiki bar, which opened its doors in June of 2024, has quickly become a hotspot in the area. During the weekends, the bar is buzzing with excitement and is always packed with people eagerly waiting to check in. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, creating the perfect setting for a fun night out. I had the pleasure of trying their margaritas, and I must say, they were truly exceptional. The bartender at Duck Dive Bar really knows their craft and made some of the best margaritas I've ever had. They were perfectly balanced and simply delicious. One unique aspect of Duck Dive Bar is their Friday morning yoga sessions. For just $20, you can participate in a yoga class that includes a drink afterwards. It's a great way to start your day and unwind in a beautiful setting. I also appreciated that they had mocktails available for kids, making it a family-friendly establishment. The kids seemed to enjoy their drinks just as much as the adults enjoyed their cocktails. Overall, my experience at Duck Dive Bar was fantastic. From the lively atmosphere to the delicious drinks and friendly staff, it's a must-visit spot in Duck, NC. I highly recommend stopping by Duck Dive Bar for a great time with friends and family. Free parking lot.

I am going to try and point out the good and the bad - overall I will likely come back!…read more Ambiance - there was a security guard at the door, threw me off a little. Inside is very well done - clearly recently updated and very modern. Music is pretty loud in there but I enjoyed it, my older parents had a little more issues hearing. Service - waiter was very nice and friendly, they have electronic ordering right tableside so if there is an issue or error can be a little difficult to fix! He did originally deliver the wrong food and even when questioned just changed what he called it but it was wrong. Kitchen showed they likely have a lot of new staff. Medium steak came out first and each meal was delivered individually and with a pretty significant time difference. Medium steak was basically rare in the middle, we didn't opt to send it back though we could have. It was seasoned really well! I had the party platter and everyone was really great! My mom also loved her salmon Caesar wrap and my dad liked his scallop basket. Price points were on par for everything but the steak dinner and most of us had left overs. There is for sure room for improvement on kitchen side and be prepared for the auto 20% gratuity after 5pm but overall they have a lot of potential! I hope they can work out the kinks!
