Civil Libation
Civil Libation is a cocktail lounges & speakeasies bar in Red Mill & General Booth, Virginia Beach, located at 2135 General Booth Blvd, Suite 132. General Booth Boulevard cocktail bistro with an all-night Tipsy Tuesday happy hour and a Wednesday-Saturday 4-6pm happy hour, both $2 off drinks.
Civil Libation is a dinner-and-weekend-brunch bistro on General Booth Boulevard built around handcrafted cocktails and traditional American plates with, as the kitchen puts it, 'fun twists' — plant-based burgers and fresh fish tacos alongside steaks. Tipsy Tuesday runs an all-night happy hour, 4pm to 9pm, with $2 off every drink and appetizer, and a shorter Wednesday-through-Saturday happy hour, 4pm to 6pm, keeps the $2-off-any-drink deal going the rest of the week. Outdoor seating is available.

Upcoming Events Nearby
Cherry Blossom Festival
March 26, 2027 – March 28, 2027 · annual
Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation's spring showcase fills Red Wing Park's cherry tree grove with live cultural performances, martial arts demonstrations, and hands-on crafts timed to peak bloom in late March. The 2026 edition added a first-ever Nighttime Hanami, lighting the blossoms after dark on opening evening before the daytime festival took over the weekend. Admission and parking are free, with an overflow grass field opening for weekend crowds -- a genuinely photogenic, low-key alternative to the Oceanfront festival circuit, along General Booth Boulevard.
Party at the Pier Summer Series
June 16, 2026 – July 23, 2026 · weekly (Tuesday movie nights and Thursday concerts, June-July)
Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation's Sandbridge summer series pairs Tuesday-night beach movies (8:30pm, with complimentary popcorn) against Thursday-night concerts (6-9pm, with food trucks and Voodoo Brewing on site) at Little Island Park. The 2026 lineup ran Shrek, Trolls World Tour, Lilo & Stitch, and Over the Hedge on the movie nights, with local bands Blackout, Runnin' Shine, BrassWind, and 2 Islands Band headlining the concerts. Both formats are free, outside food and beach chairs are welcome, and parking at the park is free after 5pm — alcohol, glass containers, and tents aren't permitted.
Sandbridge Pig Pickin'
September 12, 2026 · annual
The Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad's all-you-can-eat pig roast at Little Island Park has been the neighborhood's signature fundraiser for more than four decades, paying for the advanced life-saving equipment behind the squad's 1,000-plus annual emergency calls. Barbecue, beer and wine, live music, local art vendors, and a bounce house for kids fill the park for an afternoon, with free admission for children under 10. It's Sandbridge at its most neighborly -- a beach-community fundraiser rather than a tourist draw, held at the same park that anchors the south end of the beach.
