Esoteric

Esoteric is the realization of a VB lovin’ husband and wife entrepreneurial team with a passion for good and rare craft beer and eclectic and curated foods. We also really dig aesthetics and under-designed spaces which we think facilitates a return to the art of food, beverage, and conversation. You won’t find a television in our space but you will find some serious charm and preserved architectural detail in our 1920’s era building, back in the days when skilled craftsmanship was what was up. Esoteric is on the Virginia Beach Historical Registry, a fact we are uber proud of and we hoped to influence and inspire other businesses to also take this path. We are fortunate to have a very rare and precious, large green space on our property where we, along with our super rad and carefully selected fellow businesses, grow much of our food. This space serves as a space to gather inspiration, host an event or simply nosh at our outdoor chef’s table. Oh, and we are just far enough from the oceanfront to get that locals’ street cred too. We love our area, a newly appointed Arts and Culture District in the oldest part of VB- 17th Street & Old Virginia Beach Boulevard, once the only gateway to the resort area. Our hood is gritty, underdeveloped, and thriving with artisan businesses (at least for now—stay away big development!)
