Bayside Inn Restaurant & Lounge is now GOOD MUGS Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Used to be an awsome bar to hang out. I heard it was sold and under different management, so I decided to venture in. I was greeted initally by a nice person entering the establishment. Then I sat at the bar. All of sudden this unattractive looking bartender made a rude comment. She bragged about having a hot younger bf and stated that 'only real men carried knives'. If she was trying to be clever and witty, and at someone's expense, she failed miserably. It is totally different atmosphere with all the original characteristics nearly erradicated. I am disappointed and will find somewhere else to chill for a beer

*update at least they had the respect to change the name in maintaining a former establishment that they could never compare to! Stupid new name by the way! RIP Bayside Inn, thank you for the years...

Stopped in after the memorial service for a friend that had worked there several years ago for awhile running an open mic with a full band setup. Besides lukewarm Jaeger, the owner displayed an inappropriate attitude regarding the news of his passing. Considering that I know for a fact my friend had done a lot of extra work and promotion for the venue without any request for payment or compensation just to try and get some kind of music scene started which would benefit musicians (and the club), and he was still owed the agreed upon money for supplying equipment, running sound, etc and that he had been unable to collect which led him to refuse to continue having any business dealings with the owner, I thought it was a particularly ungrateful and ungracious display on her part. RIP Frank, you...

Typical dark, old, hole in the wall neighborhood dive. No draft beers. Couple of pool tables. Speaker music is very LOUD for such a small place, but they did turn it down some when I requested. The food is smaller portions than average (really what size a meal should be instead of the humongus portions in most places today), but quality was passable & the prices are great... less than $5 for a burger. If you're pinching pennies, this is your place. Less than $20 for 2 meals & 2 bottled beers. Cleanliness was good considering how old the place is. They have a 2 table smoking booth inside. Server was friendly...
