    The vibe was just off, no energy, club and rap music instead of country.
    Kristy M.

    I haven't been to PBR Hampton in quite a few years, we've moved southside so it's a haul with bridge traffic so just not on our radar. We decided we were in the mood for something different, though, and headed on over to make a night of it. We put on our boots and cowboy hats and headed on over. The club opened at 8 and we walked in at about 9:30, so not crazy early, but the club was still fairly empty. No biggie, this meant faster service at the bar and surely it being a Saturday night, things would pick up soon. "Hampton's most stunning country bar. Live country and southern rock bring the PBR party downtown to Power Plant Hampton." --- This is how PBR self-identifies. Makes sense, right? Anyone who has been to an actual PBR rodeo/show knows they play southern rock and country music. And yet we heard ONE country song the entire night. One. The rest were club music and rap. A bunch of girls in chaps leading line dances and a mechanical bull doesn't make 2020s club music country. It was so wildly different than when I'd visited years ago or any other PBR I've been in, I actually pulled out my phone to check their website to make sure we hadn't inadvertently stumbled in on a special event night but there was nothing listed under Saturdays as a different vibe and nothing listed under events for the evening. I can only conclude the club's description is completely outdated and misleading. Bar service was mixed. At the busier side bar, by the entrance, I found service to be fast and friendly. Ironically enough, at the much quieter back bar it was harder to get the bartenders attention, but he too was friendly enough. The purpose of this review isn't to slam anyone elses jam- but if you are looking for a COUNTRY bar/club, folks, this is not it- not anymore anyway. It may be that there just isn't the desire/demand here anymore (although thats hard to imagine with the big Nashville-Cool trend in recent years) and club and rap music is what the masses want. If so, though, then I think PBR should rebrand itself and update the website to reflect that shift.

    Always have a good time here. It's fun and usually drama free. Bartenders are cool and the place is super cute

    Overall, this place is better than just alright. I must say, I have been here years ago and remembered having THE BEST time with friends... So here am at least five years later... I entered a contest to win a free birthday party... well I was one of the winners! Yay me! I was able to invite friends and all would get in FREE and the prize also included a swag bag and a gift card worth $50! I arrived the Friday of Memorial Day weekend... the time may have been 6:30 pm and the crowd was pretty much non-existing... I asked the bartender what's up and he was confident in saying that it is mad early, the crowd will pick up about 10 pm or 11 pm. I thought that's hours from now... Well good thing I had friends there with me. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the outdoor patio vibes. Before we knew it, people started rolling in slowly but surely. I guess the guy knew what he was talking about. Well I had no idea when I would return, so the $50 gift card, I made sure I used every penny. I brought food for myself and for those in my party. We had drinks, food and a table on the patio... this is the life! A water view and interstate view too :) real chill tho! The music was just OK. I thought it could have been more versatile, but nope! The food was pretty good, better than expected. I had a special request and it was fulfilled. The crowd was pretty much Caucasian, but there were other races here and there. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to be having a good time as 11:30 pm rolled around. The music was still bland, but the outdoor patio was jumping. People were inside the bar, but the patio was super packed. We really didn't have a waitstaff outside, and I am not sure if that's an option. Nevertheless, a guy did come outside to clean off the trash and finished plates at the table that was about it. The venue is huge and the parking... ample! I'd recommend you give this place a try. If you don't mind mediocre music then hey... but I really think coming with a great group of friends will make your night here more enjoyable. Here you'll find... line dancing, bull riding, full bar, food. So while this may or may not be your vibe, go when entry is FREE that way you will not feel as though you have wasted any money. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    2 words: MECHANICAL BULL. Ok, in all seriousness, this spot was very different for a NoVa/DC person like myself. From the music to decor, the ambiance was very cowboy/southern friendly. One side of the wall which divides the bar from the patio, comes up like a garage door, allowing smokers to waltz in and out conveniently. Towards the center of the first floor, people gathered around the dance floor to line dance. Cute. There was no cover but that may be because my friend knew people and had hookups. Not sure how much or if there is cover. But again, ... MECHANICAL BULL!!! It was so much fun. Most of my friends were close by to watch but one friend said I was on PBR's circuit tv around the bar and they were able to watch me from afar. Good thing I didn't fly off like the rest of the girls. I wanna go back to try it again! Good mixed crowd. Would definitely visit again if I'm in town.

    I had a very enjoyable experience at Professional Bull Riders. I went to a VIP party here and did quite a bit. - I enjoyed food and drinks on the upstairs while having and awesome view of whole club. The food and drinks were pretty okay, but that's not what you come to a place like this for. - I got my everlasting life on the dancefloor to Justin Bieber, Backstreet Boys, and other pop music; fun because I was only expecting them to play country western music due to the bullriders theme. - I got to ride a mechanical bull for the first time and lasted for almost a minute; a lot longer than most people I saw before me. It was so much fun! (Message me if you want to see the video.) Lol - Enjoyed nice weather on the balcony with friends. This place is very spacious, and the balcony is perfect for taking photos. The next time any of you want to have a fun night dancing and bull riding, this is your place, and I am your guy! :)

    They don't honor the 3rd Friday: freedom Friday. My husband showed his ID and said it was supposed to be free and they said no it wasn't.

Whether it's with friends or just the two of us, we've never been disappointed. Let's see how this visit went. We were immediately seated once we walked inside. It wasn't completely packed for a Saturday afternoon but staff was really busy with customers. The vibe was one that made us comfortable for the most part. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we were ready to order. My selection was the Tavern Monte Cristo which consisted of chargrilled chicken and ham as the protein with Gouda cheese and cider aioli fried in a tempura batter with tavern fries. The meal was served hot and ready and tasted great. And having the cranberry coulis as a dipping sauce really added some taste. My only gripe with the sandwich was the amount of protein. I'm not sure if I ate most of it when we dined in, but when I ate the rest for dinner, it was more breading than anything else. Still good but they could've included more. Nonetheless, I was full. Good stuff as always from Park Lane Tavern :)

It's high-end, which I barely touch due to pricing, but it does not hurt to try something new. Let's see how the evening went. After our entire party arrived, we were all promptly seated. Inside, the decor is perfect. From the bar to the dining area, everything was spotless. You can tell the staff really cares about keeping the place tidy. And they had New Orleans-style music playing through the sound system. Very relaxing. After looking through the menu, I was ready to place my order. I chose their fish special, which was salmon with veggies and a sauce (forgot the name). This dish was very good. It was probably the best cooked salmon I've ever had. When you see seafood with the perfect crust and a lot of flavor, you're in heaven. It did have a small bone and I felt it lacked the amount of squash and zucchini, but again, a wonderful meal. There was one situation which resulted in only a 4-star review. Out of curiousity, I saw on Facebook that they offered $5 discounts. I did let my party know and we were all ready to use them when the bill was ready. But the staff told us the discount was to be used on a table rather than an individual ticket. When we looked both on Facebook and our personal emails, none of that verbage was mentioned. Not trying to sound harsh, but please be sure to state every detail foe customers. We do want to find ways to save some cash out of our wallets. Except for the discount mishap, the visit turned out well. I can say I'll be back to give them anothee go-around. Till next time :)

The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!
