Waterside District
A dining and entertainment complex by the Elizabeth River, with restaurants and bars set along the water, and the departure point for ferries to Portsmouth.
Waterside District is the waterfront dining and entertainment hub of downtown Norfolk. Converted from an old market hall and reopened in 2017, it has more than ten restaurants, craft beer bars, live music and viewing decks, both indoors and out, overlooking warships and cargo ships on the river. Outside are the Elizabeth River ferry landing and Town Point Park, and the area is lively in the evening. It is a good place to eat and rest after visiting Nauticus.
Opening hours
approx. 11:00–02:00 the next day (varies by venue)
