Virginia Beach, Virginia - my quest for smiles started at the “Thin Skin Don’t Come In Bar” - the “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite comfort zone bar “Icehouse” … bartender Lauren delivered my 1st smile of the day … I always enjoy the Icehouse blackened tuna bites - a tasty-riffic treat 😋 … the “Icehouse” recently added a top-shelf selection of pARTy Beverages … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabSelfies #IcehouseVB #rabIcehouseVB #rabSelfies #RABpARTyPal #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia #RABwasHERE Thursday 02.02.23 (at Ice House Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoN1JAeOweZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - my “final” visit to the “Duck Dive” featured customer & pARTy Pal “Adam” … “Adam” was the HIGHlight of my “final” “Duck Dive” visit … after 3 visits, the staff gives me absolutely no smiles or reasons to return … my tuna bites were expensive and lack quantity & quality … p.s. if you are gonna serve small quantities, at least serve on a small plate 🙄 - a huge bowl with small portions, just makes it worse … “Adam” should be on their payroll - he greeted each customer entering and shared many smiles … PLUS, this surfer-themed bar lacks a comfortable bar atmosphere - too sterile & bland for me … “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! … but don’t plan on returning 👎 #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.24.23 (at Duck Dive) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN_lq-uWxo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
