Our Story

Built on a Belief That
Rum Deserves Serious Attention

The Rum Shack started with a simple observation: Virginia Beach had plenty of places to drink rum — but very few that treated it as the craft spirit it is. We built this bar to close that gap.

Every bottle on our shelf has been tasted, vetted, and placed where it belongs. Our cocktail program is rooted in technique — proper dilution, balanced acidity, house-made syrups and bitters — not shortcuts. The result is a menu that rewards the curious drinker and welcomes the newcomer.

Signature Cocktails

Drinks That Earn Their Place

Each cocktail is built around a specific rum — chosen for how it interacts with the other ingredients, not just what's on hand.

Dark Stormin'

Signature

Myers's Dark Rum, fresh lime, demerara, angostura bitters, and a float of overproof Guyanese. Bold, balanced, and impossible to order twice without forming an opinion.

Rum: Myers's + El Dorado

House Favorite

Plantation 3-Star, house-made ginger shrub, lime, and our own ginger beer. Served over crushed ice in a copper mug — the VB version of a classic that actually works.
