Stopped in to check out Brewery and it looked busy in the back beer garden area. They were having an event to raise money to help local veterans. We contributed by drinks and relaxation and great conversations. Thank you! read more

Just go. Lots of options to hang out (outside, back bar, front bar) as well as an area to play darts or another area to keep the kids busy. Bright and clean. The beer menu is extensive with lots on tap as well as canned in the cooler. If you find a favorite, make sure to take some home as their selection changes so you always have something new to try. Follow their social media to find out about events and weekly trivia and bingo. read more

Pleasure House Brewing - Music bingo on Friday nights - Breweries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Pleasure House Brewing absolutely earns praise for where they came from and how they have improved year after year. The owner Drew has worked his butt off to ensure PHB success. They have had distribution in the past, however that may have changed. The new location was a fantastic strategy to put the name with the road. However the building deserves huge credit as an overall perfect fit to renovate for their purposes. I can always find something I enjoy and also take advantage of rotating food trucks. Keep up the great work. read more

We hosted my friends baby shower at Pleasure House a couple weeks ago and it was such a great experience!! They were so responsive via email about any questions we had and sent pictures quickly if they needed to. The private room was the perfect size for a small shower, and I've been here for a birthday party in the private room before as well. Outside of private events, they have really great beer and plenty of space to hang out, spread out with friends, and chill. Shark Tears is my favorite thing on the menu, and they usually have some new variations of it or a seltzer on tap as well. read more

Pleasure House, despite its name, is a cool brewery in Virginia Beach. Once you park in their lot, you can go to either sides of the building since there are bars in both with a game room, bathrooms and seating in the middle. They also have fire pits outside near a food truck, live music and a Saturday art bazaar. In terms of beer, they have something for everyone from stouts to IPAs to sours. If you don't know what to order, ask the bartenders. They are very friendly and chatty and happy to steer you in the right direction. read more

Cute spot that I would imagine gets very busy in the evenings. When we drove up, we immediately noticed that they have a decent amount of parking available. We parked out back and utilized their outdoor seating and back bar area. The gentleman working wasn't friendly, which made the experience a little BLAH since it wasn't busy. I ordered their Limoncello seltzer and my husband got a beer. They were both okay; but we didn't love either one. We thought it was cool that they had a food truck on site so ordered some snacks. The food was lacking flavor big time. If our customer service was great and welcoming OR if they had a good food option... this place would be such a cool spot to hang out, but we just didn't get that experience. read more

I love this place. If you want great beer, good vibes, and a more local feel....then come here. I am a club member and that gets me a bigger pour of beer, and a discount. Ask the folks that help you what the membership is all about. It's well worth it. Pleasure House to me, is split up into two areas. There is the front side which has the AC and the ever important bathrooms, and the back which has a split level set up with an outdoor patio and an open air area. We usually hang in the back but no worries, you can get your beer in both areas. Of course you can buy beer to take home, and there are scheduled food trucks each day. What's NOT to like??? Well done. read more

Pleasure House has moved to Pleasure House Road and they are making the best of COVID-19 by keep a stand going outside with growlers and bottles of their finest brews. I stopped by today to do a quick grab & go and was not disappointed. I got to take a quick walkthrough of the new building and saw the bar, game rooms, tasting rooms, other event rooms and back patio area... it's awesome! Can't wait for things to get back to normal so we can partake. It really ties the Pleasure House road beer tour together with it's own personal style. And then there's the beer. I bought a bottle of Day Pirate Belgian Golden Ale. It's my new favorite beer! It's a smooth and tasty ale with just the right balance of hops and barley. They're also doing growler fills. I plan on going back to check out the rest of the beer menu. read more

What's better than stopping at a brewery after sitting on the beach all day? I'd say next to nothing. Pleasure House is conveniently located in the Virginia Beach area, close to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It's a few minutes away from Commonwealth Brewing, too, for anyone who wants to brew hop! My friend and I stopped in and selected flights. I chose five tasters for $8 -- the Shucker's Single, No Waves, Papy's Favorite Tart Key Lime Ale, DuckIn Saison, and Irish August. I also snagged a half pint of the Shark Tears, as it was Shark Week, I had it previously, and I prefer sours. I'd say all the beers were pretty nice -- none life-changing -- and I appreciate that they sell more than just IPAs. It's nice to diversify! Shark Tears was definitely my favorite by a long shot. The atmosphere was chill and nondescript. Nothing fancy; it's in a little strip mall. Totally would've grabbed a hot dog from the place next door had it still been open. Staff was friendly. When I mentioned it was my first visit and my face was taking over their digital Untappd screen at the bottom of the tap list, he gave me a free sticker. Pretty nice gesture! It seemed they had regulars too, and the space was full of patrons for the duration of our visit. Always a good sign! I'd consider a return if I find myself back in the area. read more

We stopped by Pleasure House after we tried to visit Commonwealth Brewing but it was NUTS. I mean PACKED. Not exactly our scene during COVID. Luckily this spot was right down the street and super chill! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating--including a bar facing a wall that is completely open to the outside--my husband remarked that it felt like indoor dining with training wheels, haha. There are also a couple of fire pits. The outdoor seating has very nice ambiance--not what I was expecting from the front of the brewery which was fairly nondescript. They had a Filipino food truck there that we did not try, but it smelled really good! We did try several beers, and I love love loved that they offer half pints so you can try a few without getting too tipsy. Great selection, incredibly fairly priced, this spot was perfect for a spring evening! read more

Visited a ton of breweries while in town and PH was on the hitlist. I'll start with the fact they have great customer service - super nice bartender answered my questions and took care of me amidst a packed house. It was packed for Trivia night actually. So if you're into trivia this is a cool spot for that. Smelled like shit in there when we first arrived. but I think it was caused by someone's BO... because the smell subsided after a while. or maybe the dog farted Imperial cream ale- really nice. Creamy and smooth. Great flavor 3 hoopties IPA - subtle. Drinkable/crushable. Shore drive brunch - Belgian brown with maple syrup. Man wish this had more maple syrup: nice but not my favorite Obs export Stout - nitro meh. Smokey. It was thick, but didn't love the flavor. Shockers spring with strawberry and basil pale ale - didn't get the strawberry or basil. Subtle. It was light and crisp but didn't love it. Admittedly I live in a city that has some amazing craft breweries so the bar is high for me. While these beers weren't anything that blew my mind this is a cool spot to have a cold beer and hang with friends. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE I really enjoy this fantastic brewery and have been coming since they opened.  Their beers are seasonal and when they are out, they are out, so stock up (Spiced Belgian Quad is my absolute favorite and I had to get a growler or 3 when it was in stock)! I really love to get their flights when I come here, so I can taste everything! When they first opened it was stated that they had enough recipes to last for a very long time (I believe it was a year prediction, but I may be mistaken) without repetition. You can bring your dog, if you choose, as it is a very laid back environment.  They have a ton of games you can play with your friends, darts, checkers, cards against humanity is always a favorite, and many, many more! There is a lot of space if you are bringing a large crowd. read more

Great beer. Food truck in the back. Lots of bar space. Outdoor seating. Shuffleboard and darts. Definitely recommend.

The beer is not good. The people behind the bar are rude. The patio is dirty. I do not recommend.

Driving by and saw this spot and decided to stop. They did have a good truck on location but we arrived too late to get any food. Monday night at 8:30 PM so it was pretty empty. Large outdoor seating area that is dog friendly with fire pits and cornhole (bags) available. Decent outdoor speakers and large chalkboard with beer menu. Employee was very friendly and brought water out for our dog. They do have a designated smoking area that is uncomfortably close to the seatings area, thankfully no one was using it. I did not see any protection from the rain, but it does have ample indoor seating with game rooms and comfy seating. Beer was delicious. Bathrooms are clean. Plastic cups outside "to protect our furry friends!" read more

Great local brewery. I brew my own beer, but sometimes I want a bit more variety than I have on tap, or would like to be social outside of drinking beer in my garage with my German Shepherd. Their Shark Tears Gosé is fantastic. I've never had a bad beer here. The brewers understand that there is more to life than just IPA in the craft beer world. Their IPAs are fantastic, but they always have stuff on tap for the non hop heads in your group. GLO is also an outstanding beer they always have on tap. There's no food, but Foons Chinese is two doors down, an Famous Uncle Al's hotdogs is in the same plaza if you need food. They do crock for a cause, which is basically a pot luck to benefit a charity. So there is outside food some nights. read more

Friendly staff and super chill options for hanging out inside or outside. My favorite beers in the 757 by far

Nice location and service but we came here for the beer and 4 out of the 5 on our flight tasted like acetone. Our Belgian Blonde and Tripel tasted just like the two IPAs. The Stout was the only one we could tolerate but it was not good. We left after a few sips of each and went to another nearby brewery to get the taste out of our mouths. I hope they were just having a bad day. read more

Went on a whimsical quest for trying something new in an area of town my wife and I seldom visit. Parking lot is a tad small; luckily we didn't have an issue finding a space. Inside was a little more spacious with tables, chairs and areas for standing, board gaming, etc. We aren't crazy booze drinkers or craft beer experts but we know what we like. Despite their 10 beers on draft and 2 bar counter employees at the ready to assist, there wasn't anything that we had to have. For the sake of Fall's ending, we settled on the pumpkin beer. That was our fault to begin with. Little did we know it came in a bottle and in one size - ginormous. It wasn't good but we powered through, ultimately dumping the last 1/4. We haven't blacklisted this place but will definitely check untappd before stopping in again. If you do like pumpkin beer (I'm talking to 10 people) and want to support local craft brews, I'd suggest O'Connors' "Punkelweisse." read more

While I initially came here for the great location (walkable from some VA beach neighborhoods), I'll be coming back due to the great patio and lovely staff. The bartender we spoke with was very knowledgeable about the different selections and let me try out different options before making a selection. Also, he let us know about the discount for walking/biking to the brewery, which is a great perk. The patio is really spacious and not too loud since it's away from the main road and behind the building. They also have a separate bar that serves the patio, so you don't have to wait for your drink up front to hang out back. The patio also has several fire pits, plenty of lights, and even cut outs in the back of the building so you can see the TVs inside (to watch the game if you're into that). Aside from the staff and the space, the beers can't be beat. I'm a big fan of sours, so I got the Jumping the Shark when I was there and took a pack of Shark Tears home. Would highly recommend! read more

What a good choice of brew house!!! Delicious beer! My favorite was the "local tourist" which is a nice IpA 7% abv the Pope holiday ale was DANGEROUS! so smooth and delicious and 9% ABV! Jesus! The only down side is there is no snacks here. I like to munch while I drink beer like some popcorn or peanuts or pistachios something to munch while drinking. The owner Tim (who's super cool) said he's gunna roast peanuts and give them away. I think it's a bad idea but hey whatever gives us some munchies! Give us some kibbles & bits!! Haha They have to go menus of close by places. We ordered a philly cheese steak from shore break. Yum!! So order some food get u a beer. The flights are just enough!! Not too much beer and a good price... I would give 5 stars if they had snacks. Get the local tourist. Yummy! And they have board games and a LIFE SIZE CONNECT 4!!! It's so much fun grab a beer and play a game!!! read more

I want to give this place a chance so I want to be fair in my review . The setup inside is nice, there are games, and foosball available to pass the time . Art hangs from the walls that is available for purchase. There is music playing in the background that isn't too loud. Now as far as the beer I tried the porter. The porter was not properly carbonated, it had a yeasty almost bitter taste and very strong pumpkin flavor. Since it was a pumpkin porter I expected that flavor, but not the strange taste . The British bitter had an issue with some sediment and was taken off tap. It's a shame since I was looking forward to tying it . Hats off to the friendly staff for not serving it. I think they need to work on their quality of brewing a little more before they decide to sell to the public . Again I want this place to succeed, but the quality has to be there . I will certainly come back and try the next batch of brews. read more

Pleasure House Brewing - The porter that's not a porter. - Breweries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This place is fun but I was expecting a bit more out of it. The atmopshere is missing a little something yet I'm not sure what it is. I was thinking with a name like that, it would have some couches or places to really relax. Would "Pleasure" be what I'm actually looking for? I understand that the place is fairly new but they need some curb appeal and more welcoming decor inside. The reason for my visit: I was looking for tasty brews! I didn't really find something that hit me so hard that I was impressed but something that did hit me and throw me for a loop was the "Smoke" brew of theirs. To me, it tasted like someone dumped Liquid Smoke into my beer. It was a tad on the overpowering side for my liking. I felt as if I should have a slab of meat sitting next to me so I could pair it with something but alas, I was meatless. I found this brew in my flight, which was a nice deal but then again, the man behind the bar didn't even offer me any of the specials that were on tap. Which, I asked to try them and he let me sample at no charge. While enjoying their brews, you can release your inner child on their massive wall sized Connect4 board! It's a bit noisy and can be a bit annoying but it's a great challenge! Maybe they could make a trough with sawdust in it to dampen the noise? They do have a large amount of boardgames to choose from and a couple of dart boards. So have some fun with it and challenge your friends to a good time! read more

Fair microbrewery. Beers were ok, but nothing spectacular. I was a little disappointed with the vibe - it sits at the end of a small shopping center and just felt like it was lacking something. Having said that - they do have dart boards and while we were there the server said hello and goodbye to quite a few patrons by name, which shows they have a regular clientele. Worth a stop, but nothing out of this world. read more

Pleasure House Brewing - Very original flight holder - Breweries Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Not knowing about this brewery or their beers, I came here with no expectations whatsoever. The bar was pretty empty but it was a Tuesday night. One of the owners, Kevin, was back behind the bar slinging beers. I asked him to tell me the story of the brewery and he was more than happy to oblige. We had a nice chat and then he took me for a quick impromptu brewery tour. Now, this isn't a large brewery so the tour only took a few minutes, but I was happy he offered and got to learn a little bit more on how they work, their philosophy behind beer and where they want to go next. Every beer I had was a solid beer and ones I can seem myself drinking again, especially since they also server Crowlers. Don't know what a crowler is? Ask them... they will be happy to show you. Good luck to all your endeavors and I hope to come across your beers again soon!! CHEERS! read more

The best thing about this place was the service and laid back atmosphere. I could have sat there for hours- it just felt relaxed and it wasn't over crowded for a Saturday night. Overall, the beers were good. There were a lot of options and some unique ones. The imperial cream was enjoyable and so was the brown. With a flight of 5, I'd say I enjoyed about three that I tried more than the others! I would definitely suggest this place if you're looking for somewhere low key to relax with friends. There are also tons of games to choose from which is always fun! read more

Was driving through Virginia Beach on a road trip. I did my favorite thing, stopped by a local brewery, switched drivers, and had a beer. Since it was not too far from the Bay Bridge-Tunnel we stopped at Pleasure House. Located on a strip mall not far from the water, we pulled in and went inside. The interior was simple, yet comfortable. I had the Lynnhaven Stout, it was good. Our server identified himself as the owner and said that they are changing locations before too long. The brewery was mostly empty as it was in the afternoon, which was perfect to unwind and enjoy my beer in a quiet atmosphere. When I drive back through Va Beach I plan on checking out the new location. Will definitely return. read more

Unfortunately, there wasn't anything special about this brewery that stuck with me. I had a flight of their beers, and they were just mediocre. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings. The brewery was clean, and there was a decent amount of seating. However, the parking lot was small which I see becoming an issue on the weekend. I haven't ruled this brewery out, and if I'm in the area again, I'll be sure to stop in. read more

Went to pleasure House last night. We had made previous stops at other breweries, however this one had the nicest bartender I have had since we started a tour of the 757 brews. She was very knowledgeable and helped us pick the right beers. I got 2 half pours of the Hurricane Surfer and First Lansing both were good and hoppy, my buddy got the stout and said it was ok. But the thing about this place is that let you know they are happy you came to their establishment and want you to enjoy yourself. This place is amazing and the bartender on 10/7/2020 at 8:30 at night was amazing we will definitely come back read more

We came here shortly after they opened and man I cannot wait to revisit. We were greeted by one of the brewers who upon chatting with us was kind enough to let us try some things that they were working on. The staff was awesome, and the locals were very kind as well. Some standouts at that time for me include the Light Tower- another saison that I liked. Must be something in that VA Beach water. Their Taugin'Roggen'- to have a killer Roggenbier out of the gate, so impressive. We actually ended up taking 2 growlers of this home. Their OB's Wattleseed Export Stout, and their regular Stout was also very tasty. Congrats to the fine folks here at Pleasure House. Love seeing you guys at festivals now and we hope to revisit soon! read more
