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 On top of that, the place is cash only, which feels outdated and unnecessary in 2026.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.

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 conference staff were in a great mood and very helpful. They explained that this this conference included people interested in Comicon, and video games, cartoons, etc. It was impressive to see the costumes and watching skits outside the venue. 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!

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. The crowd is a bit rough around the edges , back, center, you name itnot a place for grownups. Even though the DJ had his 50th, the crowd was very young.....not for me. I see how trouble can break out, in a place like that.....ok, I warned you. Walk up, you'll see the warning signs hanging NOPE not for me. Richmond? Where's the grown folk club at?

Honestly for a latin club/bar in Virginia Beach this deserves 5 stars. We went there last night and…read moreto my surprise it was actually really good. All of the clubs here are either super lame or packed with a bunch of young college kids. Omega however had a nice mix of ages and the atmosphere was great. We arrived around 11:30pm and there wasn't a line outside but it was pretty full inside, which I don't mind for a nightclub. There was a $10 cover charge for ladies and gents, not too bad. The drinks were typically priced for a club ($12 for most mix drinks). The DJ was great. I believe his name was DJ Atrevete and he played a good mix of latin music (Reggaeton, bachata, merengue, and a few hip hop songs). There were a lot of men there like some previous reviews state however it's a club...that's to be expected. I will be going back next time I'm in town.

Super impressed with this one!…read more When you walk in, it seriously feels like you stepped into a 90s movie diner, and I'm here for it! They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!

Based on what we had and the speed of food delivery, I'd give Farmer's Table on Warwick 4/5 stars…read more We had four burgers, a chili dog, and tater tots. I think the tater tots were my favorite part - they were the perfect crispness. Burgers were delicious but messy, especially when your kids don't understand how to eat a burger with the paper wrapped around it so the toppings don't drip out and fall apart. The grease didn't soak through the buns like other people talked about, but it definitely had some liquid coming off. Still, delicious! There were a lot of people in line to order when we got there, and we were worried it would take a long time, but the orders were coming out pretty rapidly and we didn't wait too long. They do have some coloring books and a puzzle to keep little kids entertained while waiting, which was much appreciated. They also have a small farm shop in the next room with various items for sale. Overall, we would come back to support the farm-to-table concept, but not necessarily because of the food.
