Brewery Profile
Blue Moon Taphouse
On the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Blue Moon Taphouse presents itself as a large, brand-focused beer venue rather than a small neighborhood tasting room. Visitors walking in find a 22,000-square-foot space spread across two levels, with a high vaulted ceiling, a large skylight, and a main tavern anchored by a custom circular bar. The setting is built around both the riverfront and the Blue Moon Brewing Company portfolio, with the classic Belgian White positioned alongside seasonal and limited-release options. Booth seating, multiple bars, and an exposed kitchen make the room feel closer to a full-service beer hall than a simple tap counter.
Travelers in coastal Virginia often look for places where a beer stop can also function as a meal, a waterfront break, or an evening activity. This taphouse fits that kind of visit because the beer list is tied to familiar Blue Moon styles while still leaving room for rotating varietals such as Mango Wheat and Kolsch. It may appeal to visitors who want a recognizable Belgian-style wheat beer, but also want to see what seasonal or limited pours are available during their trip. The river setting gives it a clear visual identity within Norfolk, and the scale of the building makes it suitable for groups that may want more than a quick sample flight.
For planning purposes, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the exact lineup of seasonal and limited-release beers can change. Dining service is supported by the exposed kitchen, and the venue includes several features meant to keep visitors on site: multiple riverfront patios and bars, an outdoor gaming area, a golf simulator, and two separate stages designed for live music performances. Because the facility has two levels and several distinct seating and activity areas, the experience can vary depending on where guests settle in. Those looking for a quieter beer may prefer to time their visit outside of live music periods, while visitors seeking a more active stop should check what is scheduled before going.
Drawing inspiration from Blue Moon Brewing Company’s portfolio, the Blue Moon Taphouse serves as a large-scale venue dedicated to showcasing the brand's classic Belgian White alongside seasonal and limited-release varietals, such as Mango Wheat and Kolsch. The facility occupies 22,000 square feet across two levels, situated directly along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia. Architectural features include a high, vaulted ceiling with a large skylight, an exposed kitchen for dining service, and multiple riverfront patios and bars. The venue incorporates numerous entertainment options, including an outdoor gaming area, a golf simulator, and two separate stages designed for live music performances. The main tavern area features a custom-designed circular bar and booth-style seating.
