If you are staying on the water, there are a plethora of amazing seafood restaurants to choose from, and most serve alcoholic beverages and are open until 2 am. Peabodys is Virginia Beachs hottest dance club, and is open seven days a week, serving liquor, mixed drinks, and beer. The club has a huge dance floor and hosts live DJs, bands, and radio sponsored events. If dancing is not your forte, you may want to try Abbey Road. The side of the restaurant is painted to look just like the Beatles album cover by the same name. Abbey Road is constantly changing their food and drink menu, and they have a great outdoor patio where you can people watch and enjoy the warm summer air.

If comedy is more up your alley, youll want to try either the Thorogood Inn Comedy Club, or Funny Bones. Funny Bones boats big national acts, and serves up appetizers, entrees, and drinks.

On the oceanfront, the Wax Museum Royal London is a fun place to check out recreations of your favorite celebrities and some spooky figures as well.
