Eat and Drink Your Way Around Virginia Beach | Eater

"Listed on the Virginia Beach Historical Registry, Esoteric’s 1920s-era building sits inside the ViBe Creative District. The locally owned restaurant is an eclectic destination for modern pub fare and craft beer. Customers rave about the varied menu, with favorites like duck tacos, Buffalo-style oyster mushrooms, and a hot halibut sandwich. The thoughtful draft beer selection rotates seasonally and showcases some lesser-known options from across the country. Esoteric’s onsite garden provides fruit, herbs, and produce for the restaurant, as well as serving as a resource for other community businesses." - Travis Mitchell
