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...Read More

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...Read More

For a Friday night it wasn't super busy (I found spot at the bar with at least two seats on either side) plus they were doing karaoke! Which is always fun no matter what level of drunk you are. My bartender (Bobbie) was amazing....Read More

Bartender is very friendly. Great atmosphere. Priced well. 2 pool tables, karaoke, bar, booths. Menu is mostly bar food and sandwiches. Over all great place if you like real bars not trendy douche holes.

You will always have a good time here. The drinks are affordable and the food is always good like having a home cooked meal in a bar. Happy Hour is always fun. If your looking for somewhere to unwind this is ideal.

Dockside is a diamond the rough. Closest thing Norfolk has to a bar like 'Cheers'. Comfortable, amazing bartenders, and a great atmosphere. If you are tired of 'breweries' serving $9 wheatwater, or 'trendy' bars serving $15 Heinekens, and just want a good...Read More

This is the best dive bar around. Don't let that subtract from your willingness to go. You'll get an authentic barfly experience. Great service and beers ice cold.

Great local bar for cheap drinks and good atmosphere, bartenders are very polite, some of the best wings and burgers if not the best in the area, happy hour 10am-7pm, free pool Thursdays after 9, would definitely recommend stopping in!

Hole in the wall bar, but old bay wings are on point. I like the hole in the wall bar vibe so if that's your scene to go have a few drinks and play pool then this place is a go.
