Steps from the Ocean View beach in Norfolk, Bold Mariner has quietly evolved from a neighborhood taproom, where regulars grab a flight of four and decompress on the front porch, into a morning destination too, with Ghost and Vanilla lattes, homemade pastries, and a loaded breakfast sandwich drawing early risers. The BBQ-focused kitchen turns out solid grilled sides and notably good french fries, and the self-serve setup keeps things casual and unhurried.

Stopped by on a Saturday night in the winter, and had a great beer with wings and fries. Reminds me of a neighborhood pub where everyone is friends. Meal was reasonably priced and staff was friendly, and checked on us while we ate. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for Sunday morning coffee and WOW! The Ghost Latte & Vanilla Latte were creamy & smooth! And that BREAKFAST SANDWICH - Fried egg, bacon, sausage, cheddar, lettuce & tomato was AMAZING! It was PERFECT!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 😍😋
