    Beach Brewing Saigon from the tap
    J David H.

    In the category of "Virginia Beach Dive Bars" the Gold goes to Lynnhaven Pub. For those newer to Yelp there is indeed a specific category for "Dive Bars" and it's not easy to have Yelp bestow this on your business. I would go so far as to call this a "Dude Dive Bar" Or is there more than what meets the eye at this small watering hole. So what makes this place such a dive? Is it the fact they literally are a hole in the wall, pretty much a bar, few tables inside that's it. The restrooms are so small there is no room for a sink and for that matter no TP in the Mens room. I guess the women are just lucky to have one and hopefully for them they have TP. Layers of paint hide most of the graffiti... DARN! Hands are washed behind the bar. Maybe it's the fact half of the customers were sporting awesome looking ink, proudly displaying in a tank top. The filthy foul language could win a few of these dudes an Oscar winning performance in the category of best MOTHER FU**IN dive bar dialect. So what else ya got !!! Well how about a signed publicity photo of no other than Ron Jeremy America's favorite porn star. YEP, they have it prominently hung behind the bar. I did find one woman brave enough to belly to the bar with a room full of loud foul mouthed jaber jawin Men. She was with her BF and is a regular per the bartender. I sat beside them and looked over the lunch menu. They recommended the pastrami, or brisket knowing it was my first time. There was a single employee ... YES a dude! He was so busy he could not even acknowledge me for a bit. As a matter of fact I had to ask for a seat at the bar from a few guys standing up. I quickly decided on the brisket and a local Beach Brewing Saigon from the tap. It does not take long to figure out this is a regulars hang out. The brew was fantastic! I'm talking one of the best tasting beers I have ever had. Upon discussing selection in bottle and tap I learned from the bartender they switch out taps ever two days and bottles of IPA and Crafts every two weeks. This is not the place you should order a Bud Light, NO WAY! They have a methodology, a goal if you will to educate their customers on the beers they serve. So hold on one MF second here... EDUCATION! (insert Scooby voice... hu) Maybe they are more than a dive for dudes, I mean Women and Men alike enjoy some suds while getting educated at the bar admiring Ron Jeremy. Let's wrap this up... Brisket was huge and incredible melt in your mouth deliciousness. It came w/ a side of chips and fresh pickle. My beer washed it down nicely. Even the woman setting beside me was impressed I polished the GD thing off and the pint was soon after. Service was friendly, not over the top. The guy was totally slammed by himself, so I get it. For those interested in shooting pool, they have a table very masculine red felt. Juke Box for tunes, but I heard no music on this visit. Also an overflow beer garden in back that is quite spacious. I can see this being a rowdy SOB on weekend evenings. Beer education in a dive bar setting with awesome food who would have thug it. This has to be a place I embrace. Note to Yelp HQ, it really is a dive bar.

    Baja chicken Sandwich

    Hands down the BEST Baja chicken sandwich in all of the lands! Also best selection of exotic beers in the city. Great atmosphere with pool table and jute box. Highly recommended!

    Grilled cheese with bacon and salt/vinegar chips

    On the recommendation of a friend, I stopped in at Lynnhaven Pub when I was between errands. Definitely had a nice small neighborhood bar feeling to it. Quite a few patrons there on this weekend afternoon but it wasn't packed. The bartender was really friendly and helped me pick the right IPA for me. I decided to also have the grilled cheese with bacon. It was really good for such a simple classic. I'd come back again when in the area.

    When you first walk in, you have no idea the amazing place this is. They have outdoor seating, smoking outside, and incredible food. We got a chicken sandwich, and the pulled pork. They make their own bread, and OMG, so delicious. Also they make they're own bbq sauce. A good spot, and we will def come again.

    Pub Club
    Joe D.

    Had a really good lunch here a couple of Sundays ago. I stopped in with a co-worker and the main bar was packed from front to back for the game. We ordered a couple of beers and seated ourselves at the very last table before the back door and commenced to watch the game. It turns out the bartender was by himself as everyone else was at the Green Flash brewery event. We eventually managed to score some menus and ended up ordering the Pub Club. It took a while to get our sandwiches, again Kudo's to the bartender because he was busting his butt, and really enjoyed them. The clubs were cut in half, not quarters and came with chips on the side. They definitely hit the spot. I'm gonna have to get back in here again soon.

    Quite the bottle and can selection. Only 6 beers on draft, though.

    On the plus side - a tremendous selection of beers at reasonable prices. On the negative side - dark, dank, hole-in-the-wall feel (not my thing) and no sink in the men's room. Yup, you read correctly - no sink. My wife was with me and we weren't comfortable at all. Several patrons were using foul language (also not my thing) and we got out as soon as we could. If you're a single guy - maybe you'd like it, but if you're with your wife or family - AVOID THIS PLACE!!

    The view is unparalleled. The drinks are strong, so it helps. Tacos on Sundays are passable, but keep your eyes on your plate.

    Delicious, however, The Sixth Glass is a warning. You don't want to be at your sixth glass of this stuff.. You'll be on the deck

    I almost don't want to post a review because I want to keep this place hidden; but with the way Rob, Tim, Mike, Jeff & co have been doing things this place will only continue to blossom. My absolute favorite place for a beer & by beer I mean prime selection of craft beer with prices you can't beat. Don't be fooled either, they can whip up delicious dishes from the kitchen. Love this place. Beer, food, jukebox, pool table, & outdoor patio.. What more do you need?

One is given the lovely option to dine either al fresco or within the main dining room, and both settings are styled to absolute perfection. Upon stepping inside, the venue was beautifully lively with a wonderful evening crowd. I chose to settle in at the intimate little bar, where I engaged in a most pleasant conversation with the staff. To commence the evening, I opted for a classic Vodka Martini it was flawlessly executed, perfectly chilled, and entirely delicious. An absolute elite standard. For dinner, I selected the oysters paired with cheese, and the culinary execution was magnificent. Every single note hit perfectly. From the sophisticated decor and immaculate service to the vibrant, refined atmosphere, the entire experience was an absolute pleasure. I am completely charmed and shall most certainly be returning

We put our name down and headed to the bar which was packed as well. Luckily a couple was leaving and we jumped into our seats. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The bartender gave us a few menus. We noticed it was happy hour which runs 3-6. I ordered a rum and diet and my husband a margarita. Both drinks were perfectly prepared. For dinner, we ordered several items off the happy hour menu. We ordered peel and eat shrimp, calamari, Caesar salad, and fish tacos. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The service was good and the food came out hot despite how crowded the restaurant was. If you're looking for a good food and great drinks, this is your place. .

I walked in, and the entire room seemed to stop. People turned and stared. I smiled at a few of them, hoping to break the tension, but they just kept staring. I sat down at the bar and waited quietly -- five, maybe ten minutes. I had no problem being patient as I understand bartenders can get busy. But while I sat there, I watched her serve others, chat with regulars, and even tell one that she'd just given him some fresh drinks. She continued cleaning her bar but never once acknowledged me. Not even a "Hi" or "I'll be right with you." Then she poured herself a Red Bull into her personal cup, walked right past me, and struck up a friendly conversation with the man next to me -- loud and casual -- asking if he was "golfing this weekend." That made it clear: she wasn't going to serve me. As a BLACK veteran, that moment hit hard. This bar, with all its patriotic décor, made it clear that their version of "supporting the troops" doesn't include people like me. I didn't serve my country to protect ignorance or racism -- especially not from those who wrap themselves in the flag while looking down on others. This place can take their support and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
