Really well done inside, great drink selection, but rude, snobby customer service. Guy behind counter was shockingly rude as we attempted to buy a bottle off the shelf.

Met with a small group of girls last night and had a phenomenal time. They are doing Girl Scout inspired cocktails for the month of March and they are so creative and delicious. The Thin Mint espresso martini is now one of my all time favorites! Our bartender, Rolando, was top tier. Really great customer service and very knowledgeable.

What a great concept with a classy vibe. It was my wife's birthday on a chilly, Thursday night when she saw the place glowing off the street with very few people around. She said "lets try it", so I pulled over parking on the street and walked in. The place was very clean, classy and comfortable but with a very unique view of the distillary behind the bar. Reminded me of a modern "Willy Wonka" factory with that brass look and colorful bottles all around. I thought it was way cool but a "different take" from your typical distillary vibes. Usually you see something like this in a brewery or a place a bit more "rugged" however this had a... "females touch" to it but yet fitting for anyone. We met the owner Mariah and her staff member (possibly Ally?) working with her to which they were closing things up for the night. We had a couple of suggested cocktails that was from organic vodka and to my surprise, it was delicious. I had a Vodkarita that was clean but yet a hit of spice in it. The vibe and conversations with the both of them became so welcoming, warm and comfortable that we stayed until they closed sharing a great ending to the wife's birthday evening. Comes to show that you should take chances in life because if we didn't stop here, I would never have know how cool of a place this is. Definitely give this place a check for a relaxing time with great, organic Vodka that just might surprise you!

If there’s a private event happening, on a SATURDAY NIGHT, why wouldn’t you lock the main doors? Signage? Anything??? I drove all the way out here for nothing. Not the fault of the staff. This is management being negligent.

Waterman Spirits was my first location I set foot in for the start of my vacation out in Virginia Beach. Long drive, starving, and the first thing I needed was alcohol (please drink responsibly). I had the orange creamsicle, the perfect orange crush and even their orange vodka straight as it is. All made in house, it was refreshing, made me red, and got me into the vacation setting. Definitely try out their recipes! The bartenders will help you and give you recommendations because their bar is setup to complement what you need.

Tried a vodka cocktail. It was quite good, but I was hungry. They sent me across the street to Chix. That was a Great tip.

The drinks are outstanding Augie was super nice and very helpful - funny and fun too!! They have a spicy Bloody Mary that is amazing The Apple Pie is really good as is the Cranberry Cosmo The Pain Reliever is good. Pineapple taste for sure The Perfect Cosmo is AMAZING Really cute place
Went here twice on my last trip to Va beach. The cocktails are amazing and pretty reasonably priced especially compared to DC. Auggie was our bartender both nights and he was really nice. My favorite was the espresso martini. My fiancé, a native of VA beach said the orange crush was one of the best he's ever had. We bought some vodka to bring home!

This is the second cocktail making class I've attended at Waterman's Spirits. The first time was their standard class. This time was the holiday making class. Both times were so much fun. We had a different instructor each time, but both were great and very knowledgeable. The class I just took with my friends was the last of the night and they were so generous with letting us hangout for a little bit after the class. Take this class if you want to learn how to create some tasty drinks!

Great drinks and service! If you're ever in VA Beach check this Vodka Distillery out! Just opened, but their Organic Vodka is GREAT!

Burrito, who loves vodka, has found a new home with great drinks and enthusiastic bar staff. Dumpling says think clean and refreshing taproom with a nice range of drinks. They have a really good menu and go above and beyond to make the experience positive. Overall, great vibe and excellent corn based vodkas. Lots of yummy things from the crushes to expresso martinis, and our fav, the Bee ?

Staff is incredible. Drinks amazing. And merchandise is boutique like. Must go if you're in Virginia Beach!
