An intimate cocktail bar and vinyl listening room on West Broad Street. The cocktail programme twists classic drinks with techniques drawn from molecular gastronomy, next to a new wave wine list and an alcohol free menu of house shrubs and mocktails. A rotating dinner menu is made from scratch in house, and the bar is 21 and over.
The open air rooftop bar of Quirk Hotel Richmond on West Broad Street, with skyline views over the city. It serves a curated drinks list with small plates and street food style bites, and is open to hotel guests and the public alike. Happy hour runs daily from 5pm to 7pm, and the terrace is reached by elevator.
A 20th floor rooftop bar above the James River and downtown Richmond, with an outdoor bar and terrace seating plus an indoor lounge for cold or rainy days. The drinks list centres on signature cocktails, served with a short menu of light bites. A business casual dress code applies.
A Scott's Addition cocktail bar built around three things: cocktails, live music and desserts. Jazz is a regular part of the programme, and the room centres on a long wood bar with high backed leather stools. It opens five nights a week, from Wednesday to Sunday.
A speakeasy on East Main Street entered through a bookcase, which the venue calls Richmond's original speakeasy. It pairs elevated cocktails with a full food menu that changes with the seasons, and guests can book ahead. A password system and regular events are run through the venue's own site.
