Downtown Norfolk Nightlife
When the sun goes down, the lights come up here (literally, we've got some beautiful arch-lighting lining Granby Street that are oh so instagram worthy). We have great spots to hang out, from upscale to funky to sports, and you can find live music at a variety of venues. And the best part? Everything is within walking distance of each other! We highlight some of the best for you here, but you can also check out all of Downtown Norfolk's nightlife spots here.
