First time ever attending this venue. Extremely worth it! Staff is great. Security is very helpful keeping positive energy during aggressive sets. Everyone was very friendly. Be ready to pay for that drink you ordered. A "must go to " place. See you guys sooner than later! Thank you read more

Elevation 27 - Grindcore Metal show. Pure fun - Music Venues Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

6-12-26. The men's room was trashed. Every time we needed service we had to find the server (4 times). The server never voluntarily came to our table, except to bring the bill. They also charge a 3% credit card surcharge. read more

Bad food and service anytime i've been to the venue. The staff are rude and act like they would rather do anything but pour you a drink. Pretty sad place to be. read more

Had a fantastic evening at this venue. While I don't normally go up breweries since I don't drink, I think that the collaboration that Elevation 27 have with artists to bring talent into Hampton Roads for us to enjoy is wonderful! My friends and I had a wonderful time seeing the Maoli Band perform. Parking easily overflows to the shopping center across the street. The long line of ticket holders was efficiently processed through individual security with a scanner thorough with making sure we all are ready to party and not to disrupt. The space inside was organized, there were numbered tables for those VIP guests who find as well as indulge in alcohol. The general admission ticket holders get to come up close and personal by the stage. The concert went on for almost 3 hours including the first act, Lindsay James, definitely a riding star to watch! read more

Fun place with good music & bands. One of our favorites Haley Whitley played there. The best bartender is Shannon, ask for her special drink "Watermelon Kiss" they won't put it on the menu but she's always there so just ask her to make it if you want the perfect drink. She also has such a fun personality she makes it feel like you're at a party with you best friends. read more

Elevation 27 - The Nashville Nights Band - Music Venues Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Everything about this place is terrible. Food sucks. Service is awful. Bad vibes all around.

Synopsis: We went and saw Magnolia Park at Elevation 27 and it was by far one of the best shows I have ever been to. Mag Park put on an amazing show and the VIP upgrade was beyond worth it. Elevation 27 as a venue is small but has a good crew that helped the bands put on their best performances possible. While the staff was standoffish and rather unpleasant, they did not ruin the experience in the slightest. Prices for drinks and inside are to be expected--high. The men's bathroom was surprisingly clean and well taken care of. Overall not a bad venue at all. Magnolia Park (and the two opening acts of 408 and Broadside) were amazing. 408 is all over my playlists now bringing me back to the punk rock/alternative of the 2000s and Broadside has some incredible tunes as well. Mag Park was the real reason we went to the show and they did not disappoint. We had the VIP experience with them before the show where they put on an acoustic concert, had us take pictures with them, and stuck around chatting for an hour+. I cannot recommend seeing them enough. You will absolutely love the show, love the band, and love the experience. Elevation 27 as a venue is 100% worth going to if a band or act you want to see if playing there. 4.5 Rocking Stars out of 5! read more

Ellie was amazing!!! So nice and was a great bartender! I love coming here thanks to her!

I accompanied my friend here to see "Beach Floyd" Alice in Wonderland show. This was a kick a$$ show. The band being as great as they were made the experience for me. As far as the actual establishment, the doorman was the only person working that actually talked to us, and was in good spirits. We had a table, was there before the show started and no one ever came to the table to take our order. We ended up walking over to the bar, but there was no one there either. We had to wait for someone to show up. Just really seemed like outside of the band and the doorman, everyone else seemed to be MIA. I still had a really good time because the band was out of sight!!! Very good, very talented local people. Lastly if you are looking for a diverse place to hang, unfortunately this is not it. Being a person of color, I love to see diversity in spaces I visit. There is a lack of diversity here. Probably could count on one had, the number of people who were of color. Perhaps it's the fan base of the band. Either way, it was noticeable. -yes it matters... REPRESENTATION is everything. read more

Tonight we went to Elevation 27 to watch Almost Queen, a tribute band to the original legendary band. The staff is well trained (especially security) to handle any issues that are usually present when dealing with large crowds consuming alcohol. The acoustics were great and that made for a very enjoyable evening. A great sound person can turn a mediocre singer into a great singer and a poor sound person can wreck a great singers performance. Fortunately the sound person was really good and so were the singers. I really like this venue because of the layout in terms of the position of the stage and with Bars on both sides that makes getting served really easy. The first band, Rachel and the Jelly Cats did a great job in warming the audience up for Almost Queen. They sang several familiar songs that were upbeat and well performed. When Almost Queen came out the audience was ready to enjoy the music that most of us grew up listening to but surprisingly there were quite a few younger people there as well. The lead singer looked like the Legendary Freddy Mercury and sometimes sang like him but obviously that is a very tall order to fill (nobody sings like Freddy!) I really enjoyed this band and I'll see them again if the opportunity presents. ***Update*** We saw On the Border (Eagles Tribute Band) last night and they were amazing. The lead singer has Don Henley down to a tee! There was a little mix up with our table (the seats were purchased, pre COVID-19) but the staff handled it really well and to our complete satisfaction!!! read more

I've been here a LONG time ago when it was called "Steppin out" they used to have a lot of indie shows, but they tore that building down and rebuilt it and it was turned into the Jewish mother, maybe something else before that too. Anyway.. I digress. They fixed this place up!! It's pretty swanky in there with their chandelier. It's an intimate venue and clean! I'm so used to seeing punk shows, hardcore/indie shows in dirty nasty venues. This was a breath of fresh air literally and figuratively now that places are smoke free on the inside. It's way smaller than the Norva but bigger than your tiny venues if that makes sense. It's deep. When you walk in there is a check in on the left and the right. Not sure which is for which since they have will call and then those who have tickets already printed. You can buy tickets ahead of time during business hours at the venue without the service fee (if you buy online there is a $5-$7 service fee). I purchased my ticket online and paid the fee. However, I recommend if you aren't far from the venue to buy it on site. I went ahead and bought my Saves the Day ticket for August since I was already there for a show. Way cheaper!! They have some pretty good indie, punk and hardcore acts coming through. I was wondering where those shows would end up with Shaka's closing. Now I know. Once you enter the venue, on the right are tables for eating. I think for some shows they sell table seating, which I think gets you in earlier but if you miss your time slot or something your table isn't guaranteed?? I can't quite confirm that (refer to their website). Unless you NEED to sit, I recommend you buy general admission and save your money. The sound stage is in the middle in front of the tables. The merch stands are on the right side of the wall and there's a bar on the left and on the right closer to the stage. I usually like to go upfront. They have this mat that's ramped at an angle but then the rest of it is flat in front of the stage so if you're not in the very front you might be half on or half off the mat. The show I attended was Mewithoutyou , Cursive and Appleseed Cast. I'm not sure if this is how they normally set up equipment but it was pretty darn efficient. In between sets to minimize time they had all three drum sets I want to say on the stage the entire time. So of course the headlining band's drum set was in the back last so when each band played they took their equipment and the next band's drum set was already ready to rock. The sound was pretty good as well. The parking is severely limited. Unless you get there really early there's only maybe 20 spots if that?? I didn't count but I'm guessing. Don't fret, there's ample parking in the Walmart lot (this is allowed). It's not a far walk either, just a few feet and a walk across the street. read more

Went to see a band, it was not crowded at all which was weird but service was excellent, music was great. We had pizza which was good, nothing fancy just good. Acoustics were also good for such a small place. Would definitely return! read more

It was fun. I had a good time. I went to the Disney concert. People there are very nice and there is a sit/smoke area outside.

Friend and I went to the Almost Queen concert. Great venue, great service and sound system sounded fantastic. Definitely will be back to try some of their food. Several dishes that were served around us looked really good. read more

Elevation 27 - Almost Queen concert was great. - Music Venues Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Had a fun night watching the tribute band to guns and roses, nightrain. It's a small intimate venue for live music and it's something we were missing in vb. Food was pretty good for bar fare and the drinks were strong. Overall I will definitely say to come here for a fun time and to be in good spirits. This is a rock n roll type venue and it feels safe and is fun, don't come in expecting stellar attentive service it's not the Cheesecake Factory this is a loud, divey, fun and friendly environment, I know I will be back soon. read more

Great venue, the staff is great! My hubby plays here and the sound is awesome! So much better then the Norva!

Had to pay twice for tickets with no refund, when we got in it was the size of a small hole in the wall restaurant would rather drive 4 hours to see the same band at a different venue an actual venue. read more

They told me I could get a refund if I bought another set of tickets first... then they never gave me my money back on the first set and it's been two months... they're grimy here. Spent 120+ on what should've only been 60 bucks for a show.. and the show I went to was all charity based so they pocketed that shit. I've been trying to get in touch on multiple occasions and they started to ignore me. Extremely unprofessional, I know people in the industry do this but like whole ass venues???? Definitely put a bad taste in my mouth.. not sure if I'll go to another show there due to this first experience. They're sketchy af. :( read more

On 2/22/19 (night of the Wailers concert), the bartender Danielle added an $11 tip to the receipt but she was TIPPED $20 IN CASH! Luckily the bank will review and refund but this is BAD business practice. UNACCEPTABLE! read more

Fantastic new venue. Excellent acoustics, reasonably priced tickets, intimate atmosphere, friendly staff, and they're getting some decent name artists, if you're plugged into music. The parking is limited, but thankfully, you can park in a certain area of the Wal-Mart lot across the street. read more

Horrible Customer Service When out for a night of fun to a cultural event, Reggaeton Night at elevation 27, pay $32.50 online for a table. Door was supposed to be open at 10:30pm and arrived there at 11:35 pm. However, when I arrived, to my surprise there was a long line of people outside waiting to get in, the temperature was over 90 Fahrenheit, there were no outside fans and only one person doing the pad down. It finally took over 30 minutes to make it to the front. During my pad down, I suggested to the security person to have another person to assist him as people were getting anxie outside from the heat. The security person did not want to hear it and unprofessionally used his position of authority to get in my face yelling and screaming out of the top of his lungs embarrassing himself in front of other patrons while threatening me from the premises. Once inside I noticed the venue was not even half full, so I am still trying to understand their incompetence of checking people through. Overall I did not let this incident keep me from enjoying the music and having a good time but the customer service with the security person at the door was an experience I will never forget. This was my first time at elevation 27 and will also be my last. read more

Fabulous venue & staff! I must say I love a small venue ! It is more intimate, you can have food and drinks and/or dance and talk and enjoy a nice evening out ! We came here to see The Skip Castro Band It was one of their 50th Anniversary shows! Even though I was not introduced to the band / and it's music until a few years ago I must say they are definitely high energy and worth the time and money to see! This venue was a perfect place to see them! Large dance floor, table and bar seating and an outside fenced area with a bar, tv and tables. My only suggestion would be that during concerts it would be nice if they would use speakers and maybe one of the TVs or a screen in order to have two areas - live and on screen ! Especially When it gets crowded or you just want to continue to listen to the band outside! Highly recommend Elevation 27 as everyone there Staff and concert attendees were friendly & fun! read more

Elevation 27 - Smoked wings and Ice cold beer. - Music Venues Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Great venue live music. Prices for drinks were reasonable and my significant other loved the dark chocolate pie! However, I order the hot wings and they brought out bbq wings. I sent them back because I can't have the sugar in bbq sauce. They came back out a few minutes later with hot sauce but when I bit into one, it appears they just tried to wipe off the bbq sauce and then re-sauce with hot sauce. Still a layer of bbq sauce on the wings. Our server had already closed out our check as she was leaving early so I let it go and just ignored the wings (sign. other was too full from the great piece of pie to eat the wings). Not the end of the world at a very crowded concert and overall we had a great time but the kitchen needs work. read more

Expensive and disappointing. Husband and I went for a tacos and margaritas event. For two people, the tickets were $30 plus a $9.96 service fee. We were each given one drink token which was a total value of $12. There were 5 very basic taco choices offered for $5 each (steak, chicken, carnitas, shrimp, and a veggie, I think). We got steak, carnitas, and shrimp. Each taco came with two corn tortillas, but not enough meat to fill the two tortillas. We got steak, carnitas, and shrimp. The meat was topped with a load of onions and a tiny sprinkle of cilantro. Meet was tender but lacked flavor. Luckily, each taco came with a small jello-shooter sized cup of pico. One small bag of chips (a half-filled lunch brown bag) and two jello-shooter sized cups of salsa were an additional $5. Margaritas were tiny and cost $6. There was a DJ, but the music was so ridiculously loud and bass-thumping that we couldn't talk to anyone. Music choice was mostly rap - for tacos and margaritas... ??? Incredible rip-off. So very unhappy. Our bill after the $12 drink token discount with tip was $38.88. Plus the $39.96 entry fee: $78.84 total. We were hoping to get some of the Jewish Mother carrot cake but were told that they are no longer affiliated with the Jewish Mother. Disappointing - especially since the sign still includes the Jewish Mother. Will never return. read more

The food sucks... what the fuck with "chicken pieces"? That should never be on a menu and they looked like horribly cooked clam strips Order the cheeseburger or the wings. Worst case you ate a cheeseburger. Live entertainment is the best. read more

Enjoyed our first visit there last night to see the Eagles tribute band and we were so happy with this venue and the band was AWESOME. Food was good and great service too. Such a small town feel and can't wait to go again. We had a reserved table but our younger crowd had general admission and loved dancing and being so close. So happy to have such a great venue so close. read more

This spot has been a lot of things... but as of right now (Fall of 2019), it's pretty darned good. I ate a pretty good variety of their food, and all of it was great. There's even a section of the menu devoted to items from the old "Jewish Mother" (a Va Beach restaurant that closed a while back) that is actually considerably better than the food at the original JM. Can't beat a good meal of pork bbq and matzo-ball soup. They have some entertaining bands, and an unusually high quality and well handled sound system -- the owner appears to be a former music industry pro, and seems to have gotten sound techs and equipment of a better caliber than most other small restaurant/clubs. read more
