If you like cheap wings and bogo dranks, this spot is for you…read more On a recent visit, I enjoyed the Friday Happy hr. (.50 wings and 2 for 1 drinks) I wasn't disappointed. I got several strong drinks, hot & crispy fried chicken and a 2 step. There are 2 sides to this club, 30 and under/ 30 and older. Both sides have different types of music catering to each crowd. Be forewarned, they do have a suspect "dress code/entry policy" that is enforced at whim.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. This is easily one of the most poorly run…read moreestablishments I've visited. The happy hour setup makes no sense. Even after waiting in line, customers are only allowed one drink at a time and then must get back in line again. Meanwhile, there was only one person working the bar, creating long waits for everyone. The food situation was even worse. I waited approximately an hour and a half for food after already standing in line to place my order. Customers are given a ticket that must be turned in to receive their food, but if the ticket is misplaced by staff or lost, you're essentially out of luck. There has to be a better system than that in 2026. The customer service was terrible. The kitchen staff was rude, and overall the employees treated paying customers as if they were inconveniencing them rather than supporting the business. It felt like basic courtesy and professionalism were completely absent. I also found it ridiculous that people were standing in long lines waiting for food inside what is supposed to be a nightlife venue. On top of that, the place is cash only, which feels outdated and unnecessary in 2026. The only reason this place seems to stay popular is because people like the atmosphere enough to tolerate the poor service and inefficient policies. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy myself at all. As someone visiting from out of state, this was one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I've had at an establishment. I will not be returning and would not recommend it to anyone who expects decent customer service and a well organized operation.

My friend and I had such a great night out -- we hit a lively bar, danced a bit, and had a few…read moredrinks. By the end of the night, we were both pretty tired and a little sore from standing and walking around. On a whim, we decided to stop by a nearby SVIP foot massage parlor, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the therapists were super professional. After a relaxing full-body massage, all the tension just melted away. We left feeling completely refreshed, loose, and happy. Such a great way to end the night.

Peabody's has been open since 1967, wow! I lived nearby and went to an L7 show here when I lived…read moreOceanfront in Virginia Beach. I didn't frequent Peabody's since I have never been a person who loves dancing or DJs. Also, I was outside of Peabody's target demographic of 18-24 year-olds. This was during my "bitter chick rock" phase that still rears its head now and then, and one of my favorite bitter chick bands was L7! I saw their show at Peabody's on April 15, 1997. It was a great venue for this raw, bitter, loud band with a house packed and standing room only of fans trying their best to make a mosh pit. I guess Hole was my second favorite bitter chick band. Back to the L7 show. Classified as grunge, punk, and metal, I think L7 is more chick punk. Their guitarist was unavailable this night, and they replaced her with a local Va Beach chick guitarist who did a great job. The locals recognized her, I didn't. Smoking was allowed inside, and this audience was pretty aggressive for the times, with a lot of college aged guys wearing backwards baseball caps. That's fine, until the guys use their ballcaps as weapons to poke me in the forehead and face to try to keep me out of their mosh pit making range. The goal of the audience was to get to stage front. The audience even resorted to using cigarette lighters to burn each others clothes. Who does this? This show was during "The Beauty Process" tour and the setlist was great with songs from previous CDs including "L7" and other previous music. Par for the course, during "Cat-O-Nine Tails," a guy in leather bondage was brought on stage and then whipped with a whip by Donita, the lead singer. I'm confident this was just a show, and the poor guy wasn't hurt. "The Masses are Asses" is another L7 tune I like. Why no fifth star? The bouncers were interesting. They waited for patrons to make their way to the stage and for the most part, escorted the patron to the door - kicking nearly each one out. The crowd was "elbow to elbow" making it clear it was difficult to just take an overly rowdy and rough patron from the center of the crowd to kick them out. Still, the bouncers were sophomoric, and should have managed the crowd better. I'm happy to have seen L7, I'm happy my party were hurt, and I'm happy Peabody's provided a sizeable venue for an alternative show in the late 90s!

I just wanna say that this place is a rip off going in the door they're gonna try to charge you a $60 membership and then after you pay that they're gonna charge you another entry fee to get in which is a total sham. (Not worth 50 cents) Also I don't feel like this is a safe place and I don't recommend people to go here. The energy was bad, the vibes were whack, the music was bottom of the barrel. I would never even consider going to this place, the experience was laughable. Steer clear!!!!

Not what I was expecting. They had an open, TOP shelf. The food was amazing. Grilled chicken, meatballs, fried chicken, green beans, macaroni, salads. It was great.

Dress code was whatever you go on! . The music was good. I stayed for only a couple hours and had to go!!!!! Don't expect a nice place, this place put me in the mind of a old pool room, not a club.
