Loved this place in norfolk, by far the most happening place in the city, the turnout to the club on Friday night was amazing and we enjoyed our stay. There is even a free bull riding area when you get to sit on the bull until you fall, so you can do that as well. We had the long island ice tea which was decent enough and music was good too. Overall a good club to dance and chill.

PBR Norfolk at Waterside is the place to be! Awesome bartenders, buckle bunnies, and music make this the best country bar on the southside of Hampton Roads.

PBR is still my favorite bar, Cheyenne and Haley always have the best customer service! They even make the effort to find me in the crowd to make sure I have a drink! Love this place and the people who work there!

A fun place to go with friends. They have a mechanical bull, good music and drinks. Robbie is the best bartender there! Highly recommend visiting this place.

Decent music and staff friendly. Bull was fun but not for faint of heart. Just here with some friends on a business trip would have loved to be here with a date and do some line dancing. They made it look fun.

I dont exactly remember if this place was nice or not. I just remember that it was the only place left open in waterside district when blue moon closed after a concert and for that, it was a win.

Free 99 to get in for 21+. Went on a Saturday night. Beer looks like it is reasonably priced. The DJ couldnt play a song more than about 2 minutes for any song. There is no demarcation for a dance floor, just dance wherever you can find a space. No one was doing much of line dancing from what I could tell, but this was one visit. And whatever that was at midnight was... Interesting, but mostly because a rave with strobe lights is not my expectation at a western bar. They do have a mechanical bull which would be another selling point.

Very entertaining!! My husbands knee wont allow for much line dancing, but we had a great time watching everyone else. I couldnt believe how many different dances there were!!The riders on mechanical bull were also alot of fun to watch! The DJ swung through the rafters between his sound equipment and the machine that customers had to sign prior to riding the bull. I was sure that he would mess up at some point, but he nailed it every time!One last note, The waitresses wear buttless chaps and spanks and dancing on the bar is sure to happen. If you enjoyed the movie Coyote Ugly, you will enjoy this place!!

Fun place to gather and mingle. 3 bars including 1 outside patio bar, theres a mechanical bull for your riding pleasure. Always fun to watch. Usually crowded on a Friday or Saturday night.

Over priced drinks. I asked for a bourbon and coke. They gave me jack and cokes. Jack daniels is not a bourbon. Its a whiskey. And 9.00 dollors is way to much

My husband and I were walking in tonight, we showed the bouncer our IDs and he waved us in, then as soon as we start walking forward he freaks out saying that he needs to see our IDs, though we JUST showed him. My husband, confused, said he just saw them, and just from that the man brought us to the front of the building and kicked us out, infront of everyone. Extremely rude, and he seemed drunk (carrying his drink the whole time). Decent place, trashy employees. Wont be coming back.

Great spot to visit in downtown Norfolk. Bartenders were on point. With the dance routines and the mix of music, this is a unique bar experience in Norfolk.

Review №34

AWESOME PLACE!! The only reason PBR gets four stars is because of the drink prices. Everything else about it is epic. IT is a great place to chill friends, do some line dancing, ride a mechanical bull. We had a blast here and would definitely come back.

Review №35

I love how open it is but it feels a little small. Not the best pbr Ive been to...didnt stay long.

MA
Review №36

I liked the drinks and the music is good. I really like that they dont play too much country, I think Norfolk has a huge young hip population and they are trying to target that market very smart. The only downside I would say the music is too loud. I cant meet talk to anyone because of how loud it is. They should lower volume by the bar area where most people meet to talk.

Review №37

If youre looking for a country western bar, this is as good as it gets. However, every song has a line dance and those take the whole dance floor, which gets kind of annoying. But overall, it is a fun place to have a late night with friends.

Having a good time, to getting removed from the bar because my alt fit is to bad is difficult to understand.Also this is the latest that the American people have to deal with. I want to say you are juggling a fine line for people who are supposed to be following you

I would have selected zero star if it was an option. I went during happy hour and Nicole (server) overcharged me 6.75 for a drink that I was later told should have been $5.00 due to it being happy hour. My bank card was charged an extra $2 over the cost listed on the receipt, so my bank opened a fraud claim.

Review №41

Every time I come here its a good time. Im not really a big fan of country but the vibes in there are always fun ! You can ride the cowboy, get a couple drinks, and just dance on the dance floor. I learned a couple of line dances when I went last time. . I wonder if I will remember them again when I go . Cant wait to take advantage of the patio that they have when it gets warmer.

As a country DJ in the area I visited this venue and it was awesome. Definitely lively, fun, energetic. (I don’t drink ) but Hurd the drinks are good. Kevin is an awesome manager so definitely a place to check out if you haven’t been !!

First time here Robbie made it awesome kept my drinks coming. Never kept me waiting. A bearded guy named Brian told me about the founders club. He had me jump on the bull gave me some riding tips and allowed me to gall off gracefully. Place is great on Friday and sat. My new spot!!

Review №55

This place is middle of the road mediocre. Its saving grace is that its the only club in downtown Norfolk. So, if youre night carries you past midnight, this is probably the place youll end up.They play country music all the time, its crowded with dudes, and the drinks are expensive. I dont go here any more.

Review №56

Does anyone know how to dance to country music? Does anyone want to dance to country music? No. This place could be more fun if they played music people actually danced to.

Fun bar in the Waterside District of Norfolk. Great place to dance and have a great time with friends. The only downside is the prices, they are a little expensive with the cheapest beer being nearly $6.

Review №58

I did not like the atmosphere of this bar- not intimate and relaxed- too many college kids dressed up. Not enough alcohol selection, they do not offer any Budweiser products, and very overpriced with special party package options over 100$. If you are looking to have a drink and chill this is not the place

Scamers and thieves, avoid this place. My girlfriend went here and had a few drinks, that were mediocre at best, and at the end of the night when the tab was pulled it was around $50. The problem was when the bar tender ran the card he said it was deck declined, tried two different cards and both were declined and never let her see the actual receipt. Then made her pay cash for the tab. Went and checked the bank account and the card did work but still was forced to pay cash on top of the credit card payment.

Wow, just awful, while i have to admit the atmosphere is great the service is completely awful, walked up to the bar and got passed over many a times while the guy ahead of me was waiting even longer, ended up spending half an hour waiting for a beer, dont come if you are trying to drink and have a good time because honestly youll just get pissed sitting there waiting for poor service, obv this place brings in money cause the crowd is huge but they cant staff it properly, do NOT COME I wont be back, spent 56 dollars plus tip for 4 beers and 2 shots, the cheapest available, WOW if I could give it zero stars I would, plus I never ever log on to write reviews this is my first time and I had to share my god awful experience

Great location. Great crowd. Dj is horrible. No transitions between songs. Very awkward to dance to. Wait staff was good. Like I said though DJ was horrible. Apparently he is a regular. They need to find someone with talent to host such a poppin atmosphere. Dj sucks!!

Review №93

The bar seemed nice upon entering, but the vibe changed once inside. The music was very censored(which is not a problem at all) but they played mostly country music and rock. When we asked could they play 1 hip-hop song the dj said he would have to ask the manager. We then told the dj that there was an edited version of the song and he said he still had to ask his manager. No big deal! Then, halfway into the night the dj shouts out that according to CNN Alicia Keys had died. Everybody around me went into a panic searching there phones for what happened. Then the dj says he was just joking...what?! I went to the dj booth and asked why he would say that and he said they thought it would be funny . My friends also experienced some mishaps. My friend, who is Black was standing at the bar waiting to get served. Everyone that came before and after him were served and he made eye contact with the bartender but was ignored. It was until my friend spoke up that he was served. The bartender paid for his drink because he knew he kept skipping over him. Ive heard and read several reviews of this bar because prejudice in some instances but I experienced it first hand last night. its sad because it could be a really nice place but they definitely cater to a certain crowd (that obviously doesnt look like me)

Absolutely awful service, the person to the left of us waited over 30 mins for a drink when the peoole on our right just walked up and got a drink, we ended up waiting over 20 mins for 1 beer. Poor organization, staff ignored us and werent very friendly. Will not come again. Piss poor service.

Review №97

A place with a bunch of hipsters and a douche DJ that is cocky and chews gum with his mouth wide open and dances with his shirt off and plays like 2 country songs all night, that is not a country bar. You can absolutely not promote this hipster, lame ass club, as a country club.
