The Beach Pub, Virginia Beach, VA

For almost 35 years, the Beach Pub has been a Virginia Beach staple. The Beach Pub, located at 404 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, first opened its doors in 1978. Buddy Barco and Harry Smithson were the first to open it. Many locals frequented the eatery, which provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A map near the entryway, which looks like a brilliant constellation chart and has hundreds of different colored pins to show where customers have traveled from all over the world, stands out like a colorful constellation chart. The Beach Pub is about five minutes from the beach, just far enough off the main route to escape the long lines of tourists that often form along the beachfront, but not too far away to be inconvenient. For the delectable crab omelet, come early on Sunday before the church crowd disperses.
