Everything was great except I was little scared of the location of this place. But other than that music, drag shows, even the people were awesome. Drinks were a good price and not watered down either. The food was good enough to keep from getting too Tipsy too.

Music was really good and the bartenders are friendly (obviously drunk), but drinks are pretty expensive and weak. The bar was super sticky and wet and I did not appreciate the security guard outside letting a drunk man yell at girls who are minors on the street saying “just a few more years”. That is harassment and extremely inappropriate.

Bar tender flagged us in and got upset when he charged us $27 because we stopped him from pouring bottom shelf
I was staying beachfront and it was a nice night so decided to walk up to Chemistry based on the fact not many clubs on the beachfront are open on a Sunday night. Got there to be patted down by security outside, which is fine; safety first of course. Got inside and some mixture of bass and R&B was on as loud as the volume control would allow...made it difficult to hear. The bar area was pretty intimate in size, full of about 15 people and it seemed back half of the bar was closed off....or everyone migrated around the bar mYbe? I stepped up to the bar immediately with my friend when we walked in and waited and waited making eye contact with several bartenders in about 4 minutes...during the time none of the three made any drinks..just routine behind the counter things. Finally a female bartender told me she would be right with me...as she continued to wash glasses. She did this for about another two minutes, then asked the people next to me if they wanted another drink, made them a drink and then went back to washing glasses. Wow. I am guessing this is a locals bar/club and I didn't look local? ...but my money spends the same as your local $1 local tippers. Extremely disappointed in the service and atmosphere. Felt very disrespected. As VB is less than a 90 min drive for me, I visit the beachfront often, but will never step foot into Chemistry...so unfortunate.

Rating is the only way I know how to contact this establishment the phone number is just a voice box that gives you limited options and none of them are to speak with someone directly.. I just wanted to know if this establishment was 18+ because I wanted to have my 19th birthday party here

What brought me here you may ask... The music did!!!!! I LOVE 90s/2000s R&B. I can't remember the first song that was playing, lol, but the second song playing was "You don't have to call" by Usher. when that started, I knew I had to stop in and get a drink!! It was about 11:30pm on a Tuesday night. I looked them up on Google and they didn't close until 2am. I was walking the strip after leaving Harvest where I had two nasty drinks... I was hoping to have a better experience. I did notice that a VA Beach Police Department Substation was located next door. There was like 3 bars that were super close to each other all playing loud music. There was a bouncer at the door checking IDs. My friend and I sat at the bar. I vibed to the music until the song went off, lol. One of the bartenders, Liam, gave us drink menus. The other bartender, Alexis, came over a few minutes later and we ended up having a conversation. My friend wanted food and fortunately they were still selling food. There's not food menu, but according to Alexis, they have wings, fries, lupia (eggs rolls), chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks. The wings flavors include: buffalo, bbq, old bay, lemon pepper, and sweet chili. Alexis made us a drink that was vodka, pineapple, strawberry, and banana liquor. vodka, pineapple, strawberry, and banana liquor. Blue curaçao was added at the end. She said it was like a strawberry shortcake. It wasn't bad. I feel it would've been better without the pineapple though. I'm realizing that pineapple is probably not a flavor I like in my drinks. Coconut is another flavor I dislike. The pineapple l was throwing it off for me. The menu doesn't have any prices, but according to Liam, the craft cocktails range from $8-$13. My friend ordered some moz sticks and I got some wings. It was $16 for 10 wings. I got the old way wings. I'm not sure how much time passed between me ordering and receiving the wings, but imma assume maybe 10 minutes. They were fresh. I didn't start eating right away as I ended up having a conversation with the guy next to me. Once I said I was a psychotherapist, he stated he needed it and started talking about what was going on in his life #PotentialNewClient. On a serious note, Men's Mental Health is very important! Y'all... I made a mistake getting old bay wings. I'm thinking it's gonna be a nice dry rub, like the seasoning I have in my cabinet at home. Whew, I was so wrong. I DONT do spicy foods and these wings were just that. My lips were BURNING and my nose starting running. I asked Liam for a glass of water and BBQ sauce to take away some of the heat. (Note: I don't like ranch). The BBQ sauce helped! So, my friend paid for the drinks and food. I didn't like how Liam asked "y'all gonna leave a cash tip". I nodded and said "yes" because I was. I didn't know my friend didn't leave a tip when he paid with a card. When I asked my friend how much he left, he said he didn't leave a tip by mistake. He got the receipt back from Liam and added one. However, that rubbed me the wrong way, especially as I had been cool with Liam the whole time. Before leaving, I gave Alexis a cash tip and I asked her to split with Liam as I didn't have smaller bills to give them each one. I asked Liam about it their social media account and he provided it. In their bio on Instagram, I saw "We support break ups". A few minutes later, I notice the same saying on the wall. I asked Liam what it meant and he said "That's our motto"... Okay...? That still doesn't tell me what it means as that can be interpreted different ways but I left it alone. The vibes with him wasn't the same, unfortunately. They have a Hookah spot too in the back. I didn't see anyone doing that though. Oh! Something else that disappointed me was that after the Usher song, they didn't play a throwback until almost 1am. The song was "All Falls Down". You know I was vibing :) Overal
The bartenders here are amazing...
