    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 I can only conclude the club's description is completely outdated and misleading.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.

    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.

    The website advertises free cover for active duty military on the 3rd Friday, which is when we went, but they don't honor it and my husband had to pay cover. It's $5. But still.

    Having attended NekoCon in Hampton, Virginia multiple times, including this year's event (October…read more31-November 2, 2025). I can say it's a long-running convention that consistently offers a family-friendly, inclusive space to celebrate anime, gaming, and fandom culture. Whether you're a die-hard anime fan, a casual gamer, or just curious about the community, NekoCon delivers a fantastic weekend experience. The main venue, the Hampton Roads Convention Center, completely transforms for the event, and the Embassy Suites next door adds to the fun with themed experiences like the Maid Café. The con features panels, gaming tournaments, cosplay contests, and more -- with programming that runs nearly nonstop from morning to the early hours (around 10 a.m. to 4 a.m.!). One of my favorite parts is the evening dances/raves, where local DJs spin everything from unique remixes to nostalgic throwbacks that make the dance floor come alive. The only drawback is the lack of food and drink options during the late-night parties. The Vendor Hall and Artists Alley are packed with creativity -- from handmade crafts and original artwork to rare merch and interactive booths. This year featured lots of Japanese-inspired fashion (I even scored a great pair of platform sneakers!) and standout vendors like Surreal Makeup, which is absolutely worth checking out on social media. As with most conventions, food and drinks inside can be a bit pricey, so I recommend bringing a snack or water bottle. One area for improvement would be adding more accessible water stations, but overall, I've noticed the food options and seating areas have improved each year -- a great sign that NekoCon continues to evolve and grow.

The activities thst they included were meet and greets with celebrities, well known characters, make-up clinics, costuming workshops and participants were very helpful to us and each other. The hotels and restaurants in the area were very welcoming to the crowds. Visitors came from California, Texas, Florida, etc. I wish that it had more parts of the venue open to visitors but I understand the need to accommodate paying participants first. I will visit next year!

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!

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.
