    Definitely a great meal for a great price. Only able to try one of the beers but it was great. Wife had the Hot Chicken Sammich (pictured), I had the bunker burger (devoured it before photo haha). Food was all great, I recommend the fried pickles for an appetizer, had a great taste. Server was awesome, kept us moving along and was attentive to our table even with the place filling up.

    So I never leave reviews but I just had to. First time here and didn’t want to stop eating. The food was VERY good! You can tell that some thought went into this menu. Very satisfied with the service as well. This will be my new spot when I’m out at the oceanfront. I got the blackened tuna tacos with the black beans on the side. HIGHLY recommend.

    The food was great, although our table was particularly loud. It would have been an even better experience if talking to my friends at the table with me would have been easier.

    Great first time experience. Rachel was our server and she was very knowledgeable about cocktails and the draft drinks. Everything we tried was amazing especially the Cajun shrimp egg rolls. The southern burger plus the addition of an egg was tasty along with their hot chicken “Sammich “ and yes you read that correctly. Would definitely return again in the near future.

    The best stop on my trip without a doubt. The list of drinks was amazing and all the food was fantastic. I only wish I stopped here sooner to have room to try more of the drink & food menu. I enjoyed this place so much that I picked up a T-shirt just to further support the business. Highly recommend!

    This veteran own company was an excellent pick for date night. The staff were very friendly and provided perfect service. The restaurant has a very relaxed and chill atmosphere. The food was amazing!! I recommend that Jalapeños Addiction Burger. You will not be disappointed!!

    The Bunker Brewpub is a laid back brewpub with a classy veterans/military theme. The staff was friendly and helpful, from the hostess to the bartender and wait staff. Parking is what you would expect for by the oceanfront. If you are visiting, walking from your hotel is the best option. If you are a local, you should already know what to do. If you are coming here, it's probably for the beer and food. Be sure to try a flight or two of their in-house brews. The VB Hot Honey Sammich was delicious. The provel cheese on sourdough with the fried chicken breast..quite tasty. The Jalapeño Addiction burger should have been the COVA's Battle of the Burgers Best Burger! If you are craving a burger/beer this should be high on your list.

    This location is just their restaurant/pub and not where they are brewing their beer. They have approximately 17 different brews and the bulk of them are light and IPAs types. I did want to try a couple of flights, but I thought $15 for a flight of 4 to be too high so I passed. I did have the Choosy Mother: Peanut Butter Porter and it was very good. My only picky complaint is the total lack of stouts in their offerings. They have a full kitchen with a very nice menu. We split an order of mussels and some tuna tacos, which were both outstanding.

    The salad was delicious, fresh and, beautifully presented. The pineapple, coconut, creamsicle, blonde beer was delicious!!. I sat at the bar. My bartender was friendly and attentive. I got a very cool t-shirt for my friend back home. This is in a great spot near the beach. I highly recommend.

    Always a great experience here. Bartender is fantastic, beer is excellent, and the food was very fresh. Fried pickles are the best I've had. We always stop here when in VaB.

    Service was excellent and food was good 👍 Really enjoyed their beer flights and menu variety. We went at a quite time and enjoyed trying different plates. Recommended for their IPA 🍺

    Just moved to the area and I’m eager to visit every brewery I can find. This marked the beginning of my journey! It’s in such a great location on the beach and has a fun pub feel. I had the Blueberry Angels & Commander in Peach IPA — both delicious. Also the chicken sandwich …. just get it. You won’t be disappointed. Definitely a favorite spot I will be visiting again SOON!

    Really good food. Good beer and good service. My only complaint was how loud the music was in the other room, but we knew there was music there before we went, and I'm probably just getting old. Not a fan of super loud music when I go out to eat.

  • 5/5 Jessica G (. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! So delicious, I’m actually sad I haven’t come sooner! Definitely a must visit, and hands down the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! The service was phenomenal and the food was amazing! Appetizers were fantastic, and we loved every bit of it!

  • 5/5 K T. 7 months ago on Google
    Exceptional dining experience! The staff was warm and professional. The Cajun Shrimp Egg Rolls were a standout, while the Chicken Bacon Ranch tacos left me wanting just one more. The unique Eloté pasta salad was a delightful surprise, and the Bunker Burger with its special jam was a treat. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next visit.

    Ended up going back after having some very good service the first time I went. It’s got a great location but honestly I’d go out of my way for the beer they brew locally, and the food was INCREDIBLE. loaded waffle fries: 5 stars, the chicken sandwich: 6 stars if I could, and same for the surf and turf! Also had some of the crab dip and ended up doing two flights cause the selection just sounded too good to be true.

  • 5/5 Megan I. 8 months ago on Google
    Great selection of beers, ciders, meads and incredible food. The blackened tuna tacos were amazing and even my 7 year old's chicken tenders were cooked to perfection. I wish I were a local so I could come here all the time 😭

  • 5/5 Tara F. 9 months ago on Google
    We visited here while on vacation. This place is the best from the food, the staff, the decor, everything! My only complaint is that we have is that we should of came here at the beginning of our trip. We would of eaten here every day just to try everything on the menu. I highly recommend the blue crab dip, the burgers, and trying a flight of beer.

  • 5/5 Dale F. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was great, the buger was very flavorful and the chicken sandwich was enormous more than I expected the atmosphere was exciting. They also have a music venue tickets sold separately. Highly recommend when you visit Va Beach.
