The Taphouse Grill 931 West 21st Street, Norfolk, VA 23517

"My favorite local spot. The food is amazing & the shows are fun as hell. Every staff member rules. Highly recommend you checking a show out sometime."

"They lost my business when the karaoke DJ wouldn’t let my friend sing then became irate when I politely asked about it. Bartenders (2 gentlemen) were great and attentive. Also for the common karaoke go-ers reading: sound system isn’t the best."

"My boyfriend and I went last night for karaoke and loved it. We ordered burgers and fries, fries were VERY salty, and the burger came with extra grease. It was all delicious, but the salt and grease were really excessive. So, 4 stars for food. Service was amazing. There was only bar service, no table, but the guys were very quick and super nice. I tried the Alagash something, Belgian style! The atmosphere was really cool, lots of things to look at on the walls. The lighting was pointed weird with some spotlights. It puts the light right in your face, which sucks and makes you miserable. Not all seats had lights pointing at your face, but the one I landed in did. For me, lighting is a big deal as it causes me really yucky headaches. And it's not a big deal, but there were no soft seats. No cushions, the half booths are wood bench style. Prior to the karaoke, they had music going. It was just the right volume to fully hear, but not too loud to restrict conversion. A lot of bars struggle with finding that volume. They nailed it! Karaoke! I didn't sing myself, l, not my thing. But my boyfriend loved it. He sang a few songs. The crowd was interactive, and there were some really great singers who probably should do a little more than just karaoke. We will be back!"

"Nice bar spot. The menu was simple and priced fair. The sandwiches were tasty & fries were AMAZING. Beer options were nice and plentiful. We arrived 20 minutes after opening;however, the seating area didn’t feel clean. The table was sticky. The server/bar attendant was nice and provided quick service."
