“ I live right behind this bar and today was my first time in the establishment, and I was greeted by Danielle “Dani” and she was EVERYTHING I needed her vibe her drinks her playlist and her food were absolutely amazing. I laid to rest my father yesterday and my yang was unable to be there this morning but Dani was a great vibe I guess it didn’t hurt that my name is Danielle as well so I will definitely be going back often. ”
“ I just want to leave this place a good review because it is freaking awesome. All the people upset because it is a smoking bar and they can’t order a margarita here have soft hands and need to go back to Ruby Tuesdays. Staff are great and always welcoming. Pool is cheap and jukebox works great. I wish every bar could be like Dockside ”
“ Danielle was absolutely amazing, it was a pleasure having her as my server today. Great atmosphere and cheap drinks, definitely worth checking out if your in the area and looking for that neighborhood bar to unwind at ”
“ Best hole in wall bar in town. Father in law went here while in the service and I went this past year. Can't beat it ”
“ This place is by far the best bar in Norfolk. I've been coming here since 2013 and i will not step foot in another establishment besides Dockside Bar and Grill. The staff is amazing, the drinks are cold and very much affordable and the food doesn't get much better. If you're looking for a bar with a solid atmosphere, Dockside is the place. Man i love this bar! ”
“ A classic hole in the wall kind of place. If you go twice you're a regular and the bar staff will never treat you any other way. Cheap drinks and pool tables, jukebox full of music and you can't go wrong with fries chicken strips and fries. ”
“ One of thee best hole in the wall spots Norfolk Va has ever seen. But sadly, all good things must come to an end... as of early April the bar had been temporarily closed due to new ownership and remodeling. When will they be back up and running? Who knows... but I just want to say the original dockside will be greatly missed!! ”
“ Great bar to go hang out. Right down the road from me, so it’s super convenient. I love going here and playing pool or slots. They have new slots and old slots so you can take your pick. Two pool tables, and a quarter machine. Lol. Drinks are cheap and food is cheap— and tasty. They have an ATM and a vending machine. They have all your basics and that’s really all you need. I like that they actually allow smoking inside. I like to vape inside, so it’s a plus for me. You definitely get some different characters in here, ha! Staff is fun.. and nice! Keep it up y’all! :) ”
