The bartender from New Jersey and his delightful NY Yankees fan-puppy were delightful.
The beers were really good. We had the Newport News Lager (which absolutely deserves it's title as the beer of Newport News, it is delicious), the Lenore, the Navarro w Lime, and the True Concept. All of these beers were stand up examples of their varieties. We were impressed and pleased.

We just spent a while at Coastal downtown and had a great experience. Mark P. was super knowledgeable and helped us pick the right IPA. We appreciated the service from the whole team that was there.
Had a great time here. The bartender was super helpful when I asked him to put together a flight of some of their most popular beer. Everything I tried was absolutely fantastic and I ended up getting another sample of something else before ending with a slushie! There was a food truck on site that was veteran owned so of course we supported that and got some amazing burnt end fries. To top it all off there was live music which is always a bonus in my book. I just wish I lived closer so I could get back here more often, but you can bet I'll be visiting on my next trip to Virginia.

Beers were very good. I liked the Keplers Law IPA. Liked the ability to just taste their beer and really like that they have smaller 1/2 pours available. They haven't been open very long and I'm sure opening in a pandemic is tough. Even though they are located in a somewhat unusual area the space they have is excellent. Great open bays and nice outdoor seating. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Beer is incredible. Good selection and variety means they likely have something for everybody. Top notch service. Parking lot right next to the building. One minute off the highway. Patio. Clean bathrooms. Dog friendly. Can purchase cans to go. Food trucks on weekends.
