Our family opened the doors to 22nd Street Raw Bar and grille with the hopes of creating a fun, casual beach atmosphere where locals and tourists would feel at home and southern hospitality would always be on the menu.  That was thirteen years ago.  Along the way, we have made some wonderful friends, many from out of town, who say the first thing they do upon their arrival in Va. Beach is to visit the raw bar.  Most spend a good portion of their vacation hanging out on the open air patio taking in the views of the ocean and observing  the resort strip activities.  Our locals are among the best anywhere in Va. Beach, always ready  to share a drink  and a good conversation.
