“Nationally Known. Locally Owned.”
The NorVa houses 1500 guests with 6 bars, 2 floors, and a state of the art sound system. Smoking area is outside and also has a bar. Doors open 1 hr before the show for most shows. Eat at Kellys Backstage Tavern and get in before the front doors open.

The NorVA is in Norfolk, not VA Beach. For some reason last.fm puts everything in the general vicinity of Virginia Beach addressed there.

Fuck the Norva. If you want to be a tame, little opera house then do it. If you want to be a multi-genre music venue then respect the styles of dance that are practically synonymous with the genre of bands that you are booking. If you don't want people to dance or mosh or whatever a certain way then DON'T BOOK BANDS THAT PROMOTE SUCH BEHAVIOUR. Morons. Myself, amongst many others, got thrown out for pushing at a hardcore show. We weren't two stepping, we weren't being violent, we were just pushing and trying to get some movement going on in the crowd because everyone was just standing and staring. Circle pits contain themselves. They aren't going to get too wide because the people involved will get worn out and start "running" in smaller circles. And if people complain about getting hit or pushed or whatever then, 9.9 times out of 10, they put themselves in that position by standing next to the people that behaving agressively. Go to the balcony or the back if you are so fragile.

I love the Norva, every time I've gone it was an utter blast. Do visit Kelly's Tavern, by the way! You'll get in 15 minutes earlier. Sorry about your shitty time, though, thebrucewayne.

continued: I'm pretty pissed-off about the NorVa stealing 80 dollars in ticket prices from me, denying us the product I paid for, and turning a great night into a horrible one. You can safely bet we will never return there and will certainly tell this story to as many as possible. Phillip D Herder 757-498-1858

Previously posted above before we had shoutboxes: I am a handi-capped 52 year old who spent 80 bucks to treat a friend and his kids to a show they really wanted to see. I was amazed & disgusted at the thug-like security at the NorVa as I watched their unruly, untrained, unprofessional. thug-like security staff intimidate defenseless kids and young adults. I counted 10 ejections within a 45 minute period for no obvious reason other than pure meanness. The security was like a roving pack of wild dogs marking easy prey. They used their position again and again to throw their weight around unfairly. When they pulled my friend's son from behind us to eject him, I put my foot down and was ejected myself. They accused me of being a fire hazard and that I was blocking a door. and that my friend's son was throwing objects over the rail of the balcony. Both statements were untrue.

I agree with you there. They're really good at maintaining circle pits whenever people form one. I've seen quite a few people get kicked out of The Norva for fighting.

Damn, whoever edited the description there & put their story in, I feel really sorry for you. That sucks. I have never seen anything wrong with security there all the times I've been to that venue. They were doing their job when I went each time.
