Bunker Brewpub: Virginia Beach’s Veteran-Built Craft Beer Hub & Home of SantaCon
Tucked just steps from the lively Virginia Beach oceanfront, Bunker Brewpub has earned its reputation as one of the area’s most inviting, character-filled destinations for great beer, great food, and an unforgettable community atmosphere. Founded and operated by Army veterans, the bar carries a special kind of energy—part camaraderie, part craftsmanship, and all heart. Whether you’re a local regular or a first-time visitor, Bunker Brewpub delivers an experience that blends authenticity with the excitement of a true neighborhood gathering spot.
One of the standout features of Bunker Brewpub is its impressive selection of 20 rotating local craft brews on tap. Beer enthusiasts love the variety, with taps constantly featuring the best and freshest creations from the region’s booming craft beer scene. From crisp lagers and hazy IPAs to bold stouts and seasonal specialties, there’s always something new to explore. The rotation keeps each visit interesting, and the staff—passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly—are always ready to help you find your next favorite pour.
Beyond the beer, Bunker Brewpub has built its identity around community and service, fueled by the same spirit that brought its veteran founders together. The atmosphere reflects that grit and loyalty: warm, welcoming, and buzzing with the kind of energy only a locally-loved spot can create. Live music, special tappings, themed nights, and local events keep the brewery vibrant year-round.
But if there’s one event that truly sets Bunker Brewpub apart, it’s their legendary SantaCon, held every year on the second Saturday in December. Each winter, hundreds of festive revelers—decked out in their wildest holiday gear—pack into the brewpub for one of Virginia Beach’s most anticipated seasonal celebrations. This SantaCon has become a staple of the city’s holiday traditions, turning Bunker into a sea of red suits, blinking lights, Christmas-themed costumes, and nonstop holiday cheer. With cold craft brews flowing, great music, and a high-spirited crowd, it’s easily one of the most memorable days of the year.
From the unmatched veteran-driven culture to the ever-changing lineup of craft brews and the annual SantaCon extravaganza, Bunker Brewpub isn’t just another bar—it’s a Virginia Beach institution. Whether you’re stopping in for a pint, meeting friends for a night out, or gearing up for December’s most festive tradition, Bunker Brewpub delivers an experience you’ll want to come back to again and again. Cheers!
