"With rooftop and front patios, outdoor beer garden space, and a massive dining room, New Realm feels like a Chutes and Ladders game board, where you can roam in and out any of the spaces with a beer in hand. Even with the crowd, though, you’re always able to find a seat when you need to cool off. Our favorite things on the menu are the burgers and sandwiches—and , of course, grab a beer. But if you’re still too flustered to navigate the menu yourself, then we recommend the Hot Chicken Sandwich, New Realm Burger, and the B-ALT Grilled Cheese, which is a thick bacon, arugula  lettuce, and tomato sandwich made with a locally produced cheese." - Nina Reeder

Looks like a cool place, with great selection of beer, outdoor seating, and live music opportunities! I have wanted to sample beer and eat here for almost a year!! Stopped by for lunch 10/11/24, told to take a seat anywhere (implies table service). A large group came in behind us and went straight to the bar to order. Went back to front of house staff person and asked about table service. She said, "no - you have to order at the bar." Overall Rating is a 3 based on first impression of poor customer service training by management. Simply have your front of house staff ask patrons, "have you been here before?" If they answer "no," explain to them to sit wherever they like AFTER ordering at the bar. If they say, "yes" thank them for their return visit! Will give it another go at a later date and update this review after trying the food and beer.

What a wonderful place. Great space and really great beer. The Psychedelic Rabbit is just the best beer ever! Bought a ton of it to go also, so delicious! If you are near here, you gotta stop in!

Me and my friends had such a great experience! The vibe of the place is amazing, unlike any brewery I’ve ever been to. It's so open and spacious, with a huge front area that’s perfect for hanging out. Pups are welcome, which is always a plus. There are fire pits and picnic tables, and you can enjoy games like corn hole. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating options. The food was incredible. My husband got the wings and I had the Asian-style fries (loaded🔥). One of my friends ordered a turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries, which were amazing. Another friend got a burger and a cheese pizza for his kid. All of it was delicious and no one had any complaints(all 8 of us). All the food comes in to go boxes for take home if you don’t want to finish it all. I had their Lime sour beer which was so good. Prices are a little bit high but my opinion it’s justified for the experience. We will definitely be back. One tip: I’d recommend bringing bug spray if you plan to sit outdoors.

Well the venue is nice, the way that you order things is weird you have to go inside and order at the bar and then they bring it out. They brought it out in plastic through a containers which is completely not environmentally friendly. And there was no need for it they could have brought it out any other different way. The fries are nasty. And everybody absolutely hates ketchup packets. Very small Coke

Best brewery I ever been to! The beer was amazing, as well as the food and service. I thought I was in a 5-star restaurant. I had the delicious Fish & Chips and ate every last bite. I had 2 blackberry smoke lagers which tasted great and went down smooth. This place is huge, as others have stated. The atmosphere and design of the place inside and out is adventurous! Very impressed!

I went to New Realm for the first time last night, and I had a great experience from start to finish. I went right after work to decompress and enjoy the oddly warm Feb weather, and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t in the mood for a beer or canned good, and Mike at the bar was kind enough to make me an off-menu, tropical cocktail. Mike was super personable and had great recommendations. I tried their Mac & Cheese and was pleasantly surprise with their spin on a comfort food classic. The Mac & Cheese does have a sweet glaze baked into the top layer of the cheese (I loved, but some may not). I also had the joy of eating the beyond burger (plant based), and it was incredible (great size too). The atmosphere is wonderful. Great vibes and casual but classy brewery feel for an awesome hangout of gathering. I highly recommend trying New Realm!

This is an awesome brewery. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Big beer selection with options for everyone. Food is good too.

Great atmosphere but the beer is kinda trash. As a local, we appreciate the hangout spot but man I wish there was better beer to drink (too aggressive in my opinion). Weekend craft sales are awesome

New Realm Brewery is the perfect spot for a laid-back afternoon with great beer, good vibes, and plenty of space to kick back and relax. I stopped by recently and was immediately impressed by the massive outdoor area. There was tons of seating, fire pits to keep warm, and a lively yet chill atmosphere. Whether you're hanging out with friends, bringing the family, or just looking for a casual place to grab a drink, this place delivers! I started with their blonde ale, which was crisp, light, and super easy to drink. If you're into smooth, drinkable beers, I highly recommend it. They have a solid variety of beers on tap, so there's something for every kind of beer lover. Of course, I couldn't pass up getting a soft pretzel to share which is my go-to treat whenever it's on the menu. It was warm, soft, and perfectly salted, with a great dipping sauce on the side. The menu has a nice selection of snacks and shareables, making it a great spot to grab a bite while enjoying a few beers! One of the best parts about New Realm is the atmosphere. The outdoor space is a game-changer, especially with the fire pits adding a cozy touch on a chilly evening. It's the kind of place where you can post up for hours, enjoying the fresh air and good company. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a fun, welcoming place to hang out, New Realm Brewery is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back soon to try more of their brews again!

Take everything you've ever liked about your favorite brewery and the mash it all into one. That's the New Realm experience. However, getting all those things in one doesn't come without a cost. First off, dog friendly - heck yes. I mean really, really, dog friendly. Need a stage for that outdoor awesome feel - yup, it's there. Good food? Yeah, they had a fairly intensive menu that we definitely enjoyed. Need some swag, heck, it's in the corner and I enjoyed some of the things they offered. So why not the 5 stars? Well you don't get something for nothing. With the popularity, they get a ton of business. This place can get CRAZY packed. With all the seating and the size of it, it still gets busy. The lines can get ya even though they have quite a few options to get beer. Then with that size and scope, all beer is in plastic cups. At one point I had a flashback from the college days waiting in line to get a solo cup poured out. Lastly, b/c it's so busy, if you're not a fan of large crowds, this isn't the place for you. Overall, this place is pretty cool. If I came here during an off-peak time, I'd definitely dig it more. I'm just more of a chill person that likes a low-key atmosphere. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 4 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: REALLY large brewery that takes all the good things of every brewery and then mashes it into one. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: yes

The brewery is definitely set up as a social destination for everyone. Plenty of space for everyone however the few times I have been there, people with dogs whose dogs may not like other dogs are often too much for me. The barking and growling followed by blame by the dog owners is annoying. It happens every time. The beer is good. Fall weather is coming and the Octoberfest is bringing in the season prepared. Too bad the stars are about more than just the beer.

Garrett B.

Yelp
Great food and good beer here. The fried hot chicken sandwich was very tasty, it comes with bacon too which was a plus. There are plenty of different style beers here. They have plenty of seating inside and a huge patio outside when it's not freezing cold out. The beer tenders were helpful with the beer selections. Inside has a cool brewery feel, you can see where they make the beer. Will definitely be back here for more beer but the food is also a star here. Great brewery.

Food was great and love the various events that they hold to get the community involved and small businesses supported!

A must stop brewery in Virginia Beach. The place is especially good for young kids, as there is a ton of room outside for them to run around. The staff and owner were great with us. We actually left our stroller and they offered to ship it back to us. For my meal I had the new realm burger. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was one of the most tender burgers I can remember having. The flavors were incredible and the fresh brioche bun held everything together perfectly. My wife had the hot fried chicken sandwich and this was also delicious. The ranch is a must with their fries!

Yelp
Great place to chill with music, friends, and great beer. The outside area is the best - summer it winter. The food is quite good as well. Prices are quite reasonable and the quality is spot on.

Ivy P.

Yelp
This place has us coming back over and over again. Whether we eat inside or outside the experience is always amazing. We find both areas to be clean and inviting. The staff is very knowledgeable about what they serve and are very professional and friendly. Our server checked on us constantly even though the place was pretty packed. I'm not a beer drinker but I've found that breweries tend to serve really good food so I'm always willing to tag along. My mistake was not taking pictures of the food before it was demolished. But I promise to get pictures next time. We ordered pizzas, wings, fries and a grilled cheese kids meal for our grandbaby. Their pizzas are amazing. The crust and sauce are seasoned really well and my husband and another grandchild enjoyed the spicy wings. Every time we go there we have a good time. The staff is great, the food is good and if you are like me and don't care much for beer, try their Cherry-limeade. You can thank me later.

Attended Octoberfest here! What a fun place! Great vibe, super friendly staff, enormous beer selection! We only tried their pretzel, but other people's food looked great!

Always a good vibe at New Realm! Me and my friends have been coming here for years! Definitely try their Hazy Like a Fox IPA and GET THE WINGS!!

Darn I didn't catch the name of our bartender but she was so friendly and bubbly! We came through on a Saturday to celebrate a family member's wedding after-party to which accommodated crowds while offering a little libations and food for everyone's liking. Plus as soon as I heard "Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga and saw there was a local biz market in junction with a puppy Olympics I knew it was the place to be for the area. I enjoyed my cherry limeade and sample of tropical mango wheat plus a beer which included passion fruit. Very impressed with the tropical fruits included in the mix of beers! Wonderful open space with ample seating and firepits. I loved the hummus plate of veggies too!!

I love New Realm! One of my favorite breweries in the area! The food is delicious and they have a great beer selection. Their indoor space is more of a normal restaurant but I live their outdoor space. They have both tables and more casual seating like fire pits. Lots of space for a group! Service is always great and they're pretty fast. There is plenty of parking available and they are super kid friendly as well.

Yelp
We came on a Saturday & this place was absolutely packed. It was bar service outside with quite a line. Inside also had a line. It's a huge space though so room to spread out. I like that they offered a cherry lime aid as I'm not a beer drinker. We ordered two apps which took quite a while given the amount of patrons. Both the meatballs and Mac and cheese were nice size portions. The meatballs over grits was surprising and not something I've seen before, but I love grits so it worked for me. The Mac and cheese had a sweet topping that also was unexpected. The outside structure looks like it has shades to close, that weren't being used. It was very hot and sunny so that might have made it more enjoyable.

Yelp
Wow this is a really great place to go to meet up and hangout with friends and family! The food is JUST AMAZING! They have super fast service getting out your on tap beers and food orders. My wife and I loved the little fire pits they offer for reservation and it can accommodate a decent size party of 10 or more in the area and it's close by the beach too! Great brewery!

Marlon T.

Yelp
Everyone comes to New Realm Brewing because: 1) Great beer and delicious food 2) Wide open space inside 3) Huge patio 4) Live music 5) Petting zoo sometimes 6) Family and dog friendly They have so many tasty beers (many are IPAs) and if you're like me, I recommend getting a beer flight to try a bunch. As for food, do not miss out on the Asian-Style Loaded Fries. If you're a beer-lover, you can't not check out New Realm Brewing in VA Beach!

This is an awesome brewery. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Big beer selection with options for everyone. Food is good too.

The food here has really gone down hill. TERRIBLE FOOD. New Realm has reverted back to using plastic containers and you pick up your food at a table (if you check back periodically to see if your number has been delivered). It is a great process if you LIKE SOGGY FOOD. Overall....a bad experience. Avoid New Realm if you are hungry.

I love this place. One thing about New Realm is this is a brewery with great food and great food options. Borderline gourmet cuisine considering most breweries & tap houses serve pizza & pretzels. If you're lucky burgers. Or there may be a food truck onsite. I love me some food trucks. Don't trip. Not all food truck cuisine is for me. Bae & I attended the Cinco de Mayo dinner. This is our 3rd one. We would attend more but I am not a fan of seafood. A few of these have been seafood heavy. The diner is a course paired with a beer. By beer I mean "beer flight sized glass". Yea, you can get full size beers too. Food portions are fairly generous and hella flavorful. The dinner takes place in a side room. There is a host. The chef and one of the brewmasters will come out to describe the food, beer, and the reason for the pairing. All questions are welcome. The most we've seen in attendance pre-pandemic 30 people. This time there were 8 of us at one table. There 4 large 8 top tables and a few 4 tops in the room. We've visited the Atlanta location. This company is consistent. Great beer and great food. Charleston is the last one to cross off our "New Realm Tour" The menus change with each theme. The food is very flavorful. In this case the dessert was a little too large and too sweet but paired wonderfully with the beer. If you get a chance to attend a beer dinner please do. You will not be disappointed!

Atmosphere is fantastic, beers are good, food is mediocre. Really love their oatmeal cookie porter and their slush options, but the other beers didn't tickle my fancy as much. Love all of their outdoor seating, the interior is clean and fun. This is the perfect venue for events and I will definitely continue coming when they host markets, etc. I will not however be back for food. We ordered the Wagyu burger with a side caesar salad and both were insanely bland. The burger was entirely under seasoned, which was super sad because the meat was extremely tender and could have been amazing. Even the cheese fondue served atop was basically flavorless. The Caesar salad was served bone-dry. It seemed to "have" dressing on it, but barely. My friend enjoyed the blackened shrimp on her salad but she agreed that the dressing situation was sad. Again, great place. Just not the place for delicious bites alongside the beer.

Really unhappy with the way the manager handled our concerns. He immediately saidI was wrong, said I didn't ask for what I thought we ordered and was very offputting, or more clearly, just plain rude. Will not be back!

Came in tonight. 2 bands scheduled but no servers and no sit down service. Madhouse in general. Kind of embarrassing that I brought out of town visitors. Leaving to go to somewhere with actual service. Not coming back here.

I enjoyed eating outside. They had a local craft fair which was amazing. Great vendors. I really enjoyed myself. The food and service were average (not a bad thing). I plan on being a repeat customer.

Hit or miss venue. Had draft beer and food outdoors. Beautiful night and decent one-man band. Ordered our food from the outdoor bar and was baffled when the bartender gave me a number (which is typically placed conspicuously at the table for a server to bring your order) but told me l had to return to a side table in fifteen minutes to get our food. For comparison, they did at one point deliver table side and have had full service table waitstaff. I asked about using pagers or a text messaging service to let the patron know their food was ready. The bartender, attempting to be funny, said it was fun to watch drunk people do math, but that they might use pagers next summer. Turns out I went up at fifteen minutes and the table "food monitor" said it had been out for about three minutes. Nothing like soggy fries in a take out container AND you still want a 20% minimum recommended tip!?!? News flash if New Realm management reads this: you can easily configure "order ready messaging" via your Toast system (cash registers) to alert the customer when their order is ready via text message. Give it a shot and attempt to make the experience a little more customer friendly. Virginia Beach food trucks do a better job with quickly getting food to their customers! --Please know this is not a hit on the staff as they were pleasant and competent. More on management to seek innovation and remove pain points.

New Realm Brewing is one of my favorite breweries in the area! It has PLENTY of indoor and outdoor seating and is dog friendly for my pup (outside only)! I love that there is so much space and seating. I love the fireplaces in the outdoor area, so it's nice to hang out whether it's hot or cold. They keep the area very clean and they have fun activities out like cornhole! I've actually been here a couple of times for certain events/celebrations like a baby shower, bridal shower and engagement parties etc. I've even seen them have live music bands playing in an outdoor tent from time to time. Pretty sure I've seen them advertise movie nights on flyers posted around the venue as well! There is a pretty good drink and food menu as well! They have a vast selection of beers, spirits, and cocktails. During the busier times the outdoor bar is usually open, but during the slower seasons, you'll have to go inside to order your food/drinks. The food is pretty good in my opinion given that it's a brewery! I've tried the poke nachos (as seen in picture) and it was a good mixture of Asian-Mexican cuisine and it was a great portion. I ordered it thinking that it would be just a snack but it actually filled me up quite a bit! I'll definitely be trying more of their food items next time I come. I definitely plan to attend more events this upcoming year so I'll post about those when I attend :) I recommend this place to all of my fam and friends looking for a place to drink/socialize/eat with chill vibes!

New realm is a fun, family friendly brewery. Dog friendly too. They always have tons of events or concerts going on. I came once for a Mario grad event and they even had themed food selections that were amazing, btw. I love the hoptropolis IPA and get so excited when I'm out of the area and see new realm beers. When I lived closer to the brewery, we would come a few times a month. It's a great place to hang with friends. We loved sitting outside.

The Asian fries are really good! The cherry limeaid was good as well, but the pizza was a bit soggy at the bottom. The outside seating is really nice and there is a lot of room.

We went when Green Flash opened this building and we Love NEW REALM . We like their beer a whole lot more. New Realm has been open since 2018. We have been to lots of events. All great. They have music. Also great. You can bring your dog and kids. Everyone has a great time. We like meeting friends. It is a great hang out spot. Love the beers but the food is great as well. You have to start with a pretzel. Perfectly made. Come to your table extremely HOT. I love that. To me that screams FRESH and delicious. We have had many different meals. All good. I do like any if tacos that they have at the time because my husband and I like to share a meal. We always get sweet waitresses. It is always clean and beautiful inside and out. Tons of seating . Service has always been fast and great Final note. They have 3 sizes of drinks. My husband likes to get the 5oz tasting. He can get a couple of drinks and not drink alot. I like to get a big beer. They also have flights. You know me I love flights. You can never go wrong with s flight of beer.

Been here a few times and every time the food has been on point. Had a beer within 3-4 minutes of walking in and my food came out super fast and hot. And it was pretty busy! Great service from the bar! A goto spot for delicious brews and food. Great atmosphere with good energy. I had the hot chicken which is new on the menu with a salad. Both hit the spot. Good spice in the sauce and the bacon is super good. Salad was fresh and crispy and refreshing.

Yelp
New Realm has a great atmosphere for all. We took our large family in the past and the service was great! During the week in the afternoon this week the service was a little slow, but very pleasant and professional. The menu seems to have something for everyone. Every time we visited, everyone enjoyed their meal choices. The only issue I had with my recent visit is the size of the New Realm burger and the Wagu Burger. For the cost of these burgers, I was expecting something spectacular. The burgers barely covered the small (tasty) brioche bun. Great flavor, and two thin pattys instead of a thick one. I am sure a great place will make an adjustment. Now, for the beer, nothing but superlatives! You all knock it out of the park with selection quality and taste! Keep up the great work! I highly recommend your wonderful establishment!

Just found out that New Realm Brewing was based out of Atlanta, GA. Now they have locations in Charleston, SC & now in Virginia Beach! So cool that we had to check them out! Glad that we did! They have a Sweetwater brewing feel...huge patio, pet friendly, live concerts, great food and lots of different beers on tap. If you're not feeling beers, they do sell seltzers. I was impressed with their food menu. Not just your basic pub and grub. Unique and with a twist of gourmet. We ordered lunch and flights: -Lutra Crisp (Pilsner) -The commissioner (blonde ale) -Beach Bounty (American lager) -Tropic Dream (American pale wheat) -United Craft Lager (light lager) -4th Anniversary Imperial Pilsner -Hefeweizen -Hoptropolis IPA -Lime of the Party fruited goes -Unexpected Turbulence New England pale ale -Romaine & Tuscan Caesar w/ pulled chicken -Blackened shrimp po boy w/ fresh greens Okay.. this is a lot to intake but my fave on the flight was the Lutra Crisp. Easy sipping beer and pairs great with anything. Next is the beach bounty. Love the citrus notes. Our lunch was epic! I know it was just a salad, but it was done right. Balance on the dressing, pulled chicken paired well and the croutons was on steroids. My Mr enjoyed every bit of his meal and beers. At the end , we ventured to the gift shop and he purchased a shirt and two 6 packs to go. Yes, you can say we had a good time. Highly recommend the visit! In mid June, they start beer tours. Wish we were here for that but I know we will be back again!

Looked like a great spot to take the family after work for dinner and a drink and to let the kids play outside. Have been to the one in Atlanta and enjoyed it... but alas a $10 cover at 5p on a Thursday is a non starter for me

We came back because it was by where we were eating. Came here at 5pm on Memorial Day. Live music. Tons of shaded areas. More seating than last time we were here. -Red cherry lemonade slush. Tasted like it had alcohol in it. Tasty but melted in like 3 minutes. 4/5 -Mango T-flex. Got it since it was 9%. Nice fruity hint to it. 4/5 -6 beer flight. Cool carrying container that had numbers etched on the wood. None were super hoppy or bitter. Oddly fruity. Not hazy like as described. Not impressed with most of the 6 tried. 3/5 Nice place to relax and hang out and have some local beer. Beer was decent. Would recommend for ambiance though.

Charges for entry. It's a brewery the purpose of your place of business is beer don't lose focus of that. This was a Friday at 7 pm and they wanted 10$ for entry.

The perfect environment for parents to have a drink in a child friendly venue. There is plenty of space and multiple areas to fit your social needs. I enjoyed celebrating the VA Beach location 5th year anniversary by listening to live music and being around great company.

This brewery has turned out to be quite a lovely spot and super convenient living just a stones throw away. Since it opened, it had some big shoes to fill but I think they took it to their level and made it quite the venue. The "in-house " food has proven to be quite tasty with a solid variety along with the brews, especially the cans you can take home that offers some very cool varieties and awesome labels I started to collect. Adding in the live music took things to another level for sure having so some solid bands performing as if it's a nice mini lawn concerting right at your front porch. The vibe with the fire pits, lights on the trees, dog friendly, and open plan makes for a perfect relaxing spot especially in the summer and fall seasons. It is still nice during the winter months when you can sit down for dinner and relax as well vs not having so much of that atmosphere before. All in all, I am very happy to have this place near us and will be a regular for many years to come.

We were hit by soccer balls constantly even though the signs say no balls on premises and the. The parents threaten to cut you and motion to their hip. Do not recommend u less you are ok with that type of environment.

Kelly R.

Yelp
The food and atmosphere are good but the prices do not reflect the fact that you order at the bar and are provided plastic utensils, plastic cups, and plastic takeout containers. That's for frat parties and takeout restaurants, not a multi-million dollar business. Can't be great for the environment either. Eye roll.

Kimberly P.

Normally I love this brewery. They have great beer and cool place to hang out but their food is no up to par with the rest of the place. This is the second time I got food that was not worth the price. I ordered a 'charcuterie board on a hot busy day and this is what I got. A giant pretzel draped in meat and melting thin strips of cheese. They had some kind of tent sellers set up And the food would come out and sit in the sun until you picked it up. Surprised I didn't get food poisoning. Paid almost $50 with tip for 1 beer, a seltzer and this. Great place but need better food and menu.

Desiree J.

Yelp
It's the bomb.com. Best drinks and best foods at any brewery in the Hampton Roads. They have live music some nights, booths, and local artist/small businesses. Service is always amazing as well! They not only serve beer but they have liquor. Their mac and cheese deserves its own 5 stars!!! There's so much space for activities. Indoor and outdoor dining available. You can also rent their private room for events. We love it here!

Prinzess in high school class of 1998 celebrated their 25th reunion this year and the one place they knew they had to go for an amazing time is new realm brewing. The service there is amazing I would almost compare it to places I've been to in Las Vegas. Kirsten was one of the bartenders that served us and the whole evening she went above and beyond to keep the energy flowing and it's because of that we all will be back for the 30 yr reunion. Nichole was another person working there that made our night so special and was memorable since I've been here once before and she did a great job then and an even better job this time. There was a wide selection of food to choose from from pizzas to wings and other delicious items. They have an outdoor setting that has live band trees that have lights on them. Plenty of seats for everyone to sit in and they have an inside that works wonders for large groups, ultimately new realm is the place to be in Virginia Beach. Highly recommended.

Saddest grilled cheese I've ever encountered. Good beer I could get anywhere and don't know why I have to pick up at table with at least 5 employees standing by it looking clueless. So sad I can't even. Really. One slice of bacon on the whole grilled cheese?! Only giving one star for the beer. Was excited for the experience. Don't come for the food.

Before leaving Virginia Beach, my boyfriend and I decided to grab lunch at New Realm Brewing. When we arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, the lot and restaurant was pretty empty. We could sit anywhere so we chose a low top by the kitchen. The food and drinks came out shortly after placing our order. Everything was tasty. My boyfriend enjoyed his favorite beer (Hazy Like a Fox IPA) and Free Range Roasted Turkey Sandwich, which was served with a house salad. The sandwich consisted of Smoked Turkey, White Cheddar, Bacon, Arugula, and White BBQ Sauce on a toasted burger bun. I enjoyed 6oz taster of Southern Tee, 6 oz taster of Lime of the Party, and Sandbridge Grilled Cheese, which was served with a kale and romaine Caesar salad. The grilled cheese wasn't your typical grilled cheese. It was loaded with white cheddar, bacon, arugula, and tomato on a grilled buttered Texas toast. The Kale and Romaine Caesar salad consisted of kale-romaine blend tossed in a creamy garlicky Caesar dressing topped with parmesan croutons and shaved parmesan. My only complaints were they didn't mention the loyalty program when we were paying, we would have totally joined it and they didn't have any Hazy Like A Fox t-shirts for sale.

New Realm is a modern, large venue, and has a very nice variety of beer styles on tap. Their food menu was solid, but I think the individual options may be hit or miss. I had the Cuban and Mac n cheese, both recommended by a bartender. The Mac was phenomenal - they top it with "Amber glaze" - no idea what that is, but it's tasty. The Cuban was a bit disappointing... boring mustard, subpar pork, and a boring roll. If you're going to put a Cuban on the menu, own it with good pork, a good roll pressed almost flat, and a quality mustard. But the rest of the menu looked good, I think this one dish was a fluke. Lastly - this place is FAMILY FRIENDLY. They could probably use a few more kids options on the menu, but it's fenced in, and has changing tables in the men's restroom. Kudos there, it's one of my pet peeves!

I've never been disappointed with this place. Especially with their seasonal menu. The food comes out quick, always good service and the food is excellent. They also have my favorite beer I've ever had (Tropic Dream). Great addition to the brewery scene around Hampton roads.

We love this brewery!! So happy that we live close by. This is definitely our go to brewery spot in the Hampton roads area. This place is huge! We love how there's so much space. You can either sit inside or outdoors. Outside you can find a bar area lots of table seatings and chairs around fire pits. There usually hold lots of events here which we love. During the spring and summer you can find concerts and outdoor movie nights. If you have the munchies after drinking all the beer, they have food as well and they have a good selection. The Mac and cheese is soo good and their pretzels are huge! The beer selection is great? Lots of different beers to choose from and they also have seltzers as well.

First thing is the place is huge and decorated to match. When you're inside you can sit next to the wall with a view of all the equipment. Although it was raining outside at the time, that too was also spacious with a big curved bar. Lastly, the beer was so delicious and many varieties to choose from. Can't wait to go back when down in Virginia Beach again!

Awesome! Great food, service, and ambiance. Try the CHEDDAR CRUSTED MAC AND CHEESE, it has a delicious Belgian amber glaze on top. New Realm also has (or had at the time) three non-alcoholic offerings: NEW REALM CITRA HOP WATER, ROOT BEER, and NON-ALCOHOLIC HAZY IPA.

Massive brewery! Most definitely a trip to be added on your bucket list! They offer several different beers as well as wine. Huge ground to seat and offer board games and corn hole. The night we went there was a person taking a list down to music you'd like to listen too. The bartenders were amazingly nice and approachable. They also have a restaurant where you must wait to be seated. If I ever come back to the area I would most definitely be coming back here!!!
