The staff was welcoming and gave recommendations on their beers and got to try several before deciding on which glass I wanted. The outside are was huge with several seating areas and firepits.

We loved the indoor area for warmth while we ate and caught up. Later, our group moved outside and sat around the fire pit, which made the experience even better. It's such a nice balance of cozy and social. They also have fun food options that pair well with your beverage of choice, making it easy to snack and sip while enjoying good company. Definitely a go-to spot for casual gatherings.

O's donuts had apple cider donuts and apple fritters. I went with an apple cider donut to pair with my apple pie cider. I finished the night with Al the Holiday Helper. So sad that the Norfolk location in the Chelsea district is closing. I stayed for a few hours and headed out for dinner. They did have bake house pizza there, but I just had pizza the other night. I was feeling the holiday season and went looking for a gobbler sandwich. I am glad to see the smartmouth va beach location thriving and I just may come back for another event in the near future.

Oh, and an outside bar if needed. The inside is an industrial style vibe with a beautiful long bar stretching the length of the room with excellent taps and awesome merch. The staff are kind and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very inviting. The food is delicious and doesn't break the bank. All in all, New Realm is just a point blank great place to hangout, indulge, and unwind. If you're looking for a venue that can accommodate any size party for any kind of event, this is your spot. A local favorite for sure.

(Sours, stouts etc.) I had the kookaburra beer and it quickly has become one of my favorites. The Grape Gatsby was served only in a can, but was also delicious. I am a big fan of sour beers and this brewery hits the mark. The brewery itself is definitely a more open brewery. There's a quick line on busy days, but the bartenders are quick and efficient and make the line move. The bar itself has picnic table like seating and a huge open area outside, with each table having a QR code for food/beer etc. This last time, I had the pimento grilled cheese, with tomato soup and it's the perfect snack for a winter day. When heading towards the bathroom, there was a huge chalkboard of posted events coming up as well as another section for events. I really do like a brewery that has events in the area to make people come and visit and it gives people a chance to experience cool events in the area while having a familiar place to go afterwards or before. I Came here for coffee one morning, and the coffee as well was excellent. I enjoyed the 007 which is a shaken espresso, Highly recommend! They also have pastries, we got the blueberry scone, chocolate chip scone and the cheese danish. All were great and tasted fresh. Not what you would expect from a brewery in the morning, but it was well worth the trip. The brewery itself was at a low volume and had great sunlight peeking through for a great coffee in the morning. Parking was a bit rough when it was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but there was a separate lot if you can't find parking in the main one. We only waited about 10 minutes for a spot and it ended up not being too tight.

A great way to socialize and enjoy the warm weather. The drink options look great, from beer, to mixed drinks, to even coffee. However, we didn't have a chance to try them this time around. We came in for a late lunch, the menu has some great options. Unfortunately, my food came out about 15 minutes before my husband's, so we couldn't really enjoy our meal together. 2 meals, no drinks (not even a soda), and 2 sauces came out to around $40. Honestly, I wouldn't pay that again for the portion of food you're getting. For food at this price point, I think there's better places. However, the vibes are great and this is an awesome spot for drinks. Definitely recommend for drinks & hanging out!

Super friendly, knowledgeable, and more than happy to let me taste a few different options before committing. That alone sets the tone. I ended up going with the Pick of the Liter American Lager, and it was exactly what I wanted: light, crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink. Nothing overcomplicated, just a really solid lager done right. The vibe is what really stands out here. I love the German-inspired atmosphere. It feels warm, welcoming, and relaxed without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can hang for a while, have a conversation, and not feel rushed. Add in the fact that there are dogs on the walls everywhere, and I was fully sold. As a dog lover, this was a huge win. Even though I didn't eat this time around, I was definitely eyeing the food coming out of the kitchen. The pizza in particular looked really good, and it's 100% the reason I'll be back soon. If the beer and service are any indication, I have a feeling the food is going to deliver too. This is a great spot whether you're a craft beer fan or just want a chill place to grab a drink!

The brewery is a restored 1912 farmhouse sitting on acres of open land, with plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables, and fire pits scattered around. There's always something happening here. Food trucks daily, beer trucks, and yard games like cornhole and bocce ball keep things fun/ The space is super dog-friendly and great for groups or families. I came this day with my friend and her kids and they had a blast playing with all the other kids outside. When it comes to drinks, they do not disappoint. They brew both beer and cider, and the variety means there's something for everyone. My seasonal favorite is the Witch of Pungo Pumpkin Ale. It's smooth, balanced, and packed with just the right amount of fall flavor. Enjoying one of those by the fire pits as the sun goes down is about as perfect as it gets. The bartender was super kind, letting me sample a few different beers before choosing. Whether you're meeting up with friends, bringing the family, or just want to unwind outdoors with a good drink, this spot hits the mark every time.

Back Bay Farmhouse - Friday Night Vibes Recap Back Bay…read moreFarmhouse absolutely understood the assignment for a perfect Friday night. The whole place was buzzing with energy--vendors everywhere, live line dancing, local desserts, fresh produce, and even homemade ice cream stations. It felt like a summer fair with a bougie twist. Lexi made her grand entrance in a new dress gifted from the TikTok Shop and the crowd went wild--everyone was stopping us to compliment her look. You already know she was eating it up. ‍ We strolled, we snacked, we danced (okay, we watched the dancing), and soaked up the good vibes. This location was packed, but it never felt chaotic. Just community, joy, and really good eats. Add it to your list--you don't want to miss a Farmhouse Friday night! #BackBayFarmhouse #FarmhouseFridays #TikTokEvents #LexiTheBougieBT #SummerNights #FarmToVibe #LocalLove #BougieAndBlessed

Loved the setup and the extra board games you can play along with shuffle board. I had brought my own uno cards to play and we sat in their little couches area. Def a comfortable and fun atmosphere. Ordered their Macho nachos (10/10) really yummy and a good portion, their wings in garlic parmesan (6/10) they really had no flavor as if they were just plain oven roasted wings and in mango habanero (9/10), and their loaded waffle fries (10/10). For drinks we had the Beachside mojito (9/10) and the Bahama mama (8/10); their drinks were pretty decent overall. Def will be going back soon; great date night spot and hangout spot with some friends. My overall rate of experience : 8.5/10

I rated 4 stars due to the QR code ordering, and maybe it's because I'm 98-years old and I don't like that kinda stuff.

I will come back, if given the opportunity.
