Another fun night at MoMac's last weekend. We went to celebrate a friend's birthday. Chris Ride was…read moreplaying and we all really enjoyed his show. We all loved being able to ask for our favorite songs to be sung. And, we loved the book with tons of suggestions that included different genres of music. There was a nice crowd. Not too crowded, just right. Plenty of seating and my beer was nice and cold. We also love how you can bring in your own food or order from the food trucks outside since they don't sell food, just a few snacks behind the bar. Staff are always nice and helpful, as well. In the area? Check Them Out!

This place just opened up a week ago. They're already getting food trucks on the weekends and have…read morea very new lineup for their beer selection. If you're curious about when they're open, they're currently opened on Wed-Saturday (assuming I read the correct sign). You can tell they're really feeling their way through all this but they are definitely setup for success. I like the patio area outside as it's covered and has 4 patio benches for you to enjoy. Inside they have seating for almost 50 total (to include the bar) and a foosball table in the back corner. As of this current moment, they don't offer flights or fill growlers, but that's ok. I'm sure it's probably a glassware thing for now. All good though, having been only open for a week the most important part would be of course... the beer. For beer I had the the Brown Ale and my wife has the Saison. They were both very solid, clean, tasting beers. We really don't need any of the crazy flairs, but am glad they have solid beers to work with for now. This tells me that they're on the right path towards building a good foundation. Overall, the atmosphere was great, beer was solid, and we had a good time. We will definitely be back! Check 'em out! Support the beer scene in the local area!

As soon as we arrived, we noticed all the vendors and couldn't wait to walk around and check each one out. Since we were a bit hungry, we walked over to the food trucks but there were only two, Rosa's Lumpia & Pancit and Mockingbird Pasta Bar. Neither offered any food items we wanted so we decided to grab a bite nearby at the Sanctuary. We had a decent time at the Norfolk Flea Market but unfortunately, we didn't find anything we wanted to purchase. I definitely wouldn't mind checking out Afterglow Brewing though the next time I'm in the area.

The best part is it's dog friendly ( even though my dog didn't come with me this time) There were food trucks which were very popular the lines for the trucks were very long and they sold out of some items which means it was a success for them! Don't worry afterglow I will be back again for another event with my dog!

The dressing was rather watery and didn't really have good flavor. Thankfully the chicken had a little flavor on it so I was able to stomach as much as I could. I said maybe because I was there for a going away event for a LT. I saw someone eating a rather tasty looking pizza, so next time I come back I plan to order the pizza because they sat across from me and he appeared to rather enjoy his pizza and that sealed my return visit for me if nothing else.

It's the kind of place that works for almost any occasion, whether you're hanging out with a big group, grabbing a drink solo, or meeting up for a casual date. There are lots of different seating options, which makes the space feel flexible and comfortable. They also host live music and trivia on certain nights, which adds to the overall vibe. I went on a Sunday around 6:30pm. It wasn't crowded, but there was still a good crowd if that makes sense. It felt lively without being packed. Their drink selection is great. They have plenty of beer options, but also serve wine, seltzers, cider, and non alcoholic drinks, which I really appreciate since I'm not much of a beer person. I ordered the frozen rosé slushie in wild raspberry and it was strong. I also had the black cherry fruited cider, which was delicious. For food, I ordered The Hive pizza and it was excellent. The crust was thin-ish and tasted homemade, and the ingredients were clearly high quality. No complaints at all. Service was friendly and efficient, and the bathrooms were very clean. Random detail, but the toilet paper was noticeably better quality than what you usually find in bars. It was not plush, but strong and not paper thin. Overall, I loved the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the service. I will definitely be back.

Elation Brewing has a huge indoor and outdoor area with plenty of different styles of seating! It is family and pet friendly, and they have fire pits for cooler days/nights. I love that the inside still has huge open windows to allow that fresh cross breeze in. They are known for their pizza, but they also have a variety of other things to eat on their menu. There is also a number of different beers, seltzers, IPAs, and wines to try. Tonight I had the White Cranberry Sangria from Water's Edge Winery (also in Norfolk) and the Downeast Black Cherry! While both were really good, I prefer the Downeast because it was sparkling and just more refreshing. We also had the bacon Gouda pizza and the Hive pizza with hot honey. Both were great! I had never had a hot honey pizza but would definitely get it again! Tonight was trivia night and they had a good size crowd come out. I like that you could actually hear the questions despite so many people. A lot of times I can barely hear! Also inside the same place is Voyager Coffee. They're only open 7-4. I would love to give them a try. Oh and Elation does offer military discount but only on their to-go beers! The ONLY reason I did not give Elation five star is because I wish they had actual servers. You have to go up to the counter to order each time, and the lines get pretty long. Being able to order from the table, even if from a QR code where you could order and pay online would be a plus. Lastly, for such a large space, the parking lot is tiny. You'd either have to find street parking or there is additional parking at the CEO building on Colley.

The crust was seasoned well and it was just the right amount of cheesy. The patio view is always nice. The only thing i didn't like, was that you have to order at the bar versus the waitress coming to your table. I'm not sure if this is a regular thing, or if they did it that way because they were short staffed. One of the employees did come check on us a couple of times and she was super nice. I will be back!
