“The first on our mission to complete the Richmond Beer Trail - and it was a goodie! The Triple Berry Sour packed a good punch and my partner loved her Rose Lager. Tables were ginormous - so we shared with someone and still had plenty of room to lay out a board game we brought with us. Honestly, this is a great spot to just hangout + drink - we didn't try the food, but looks like you can order from a little automated kiosk in the back to make it easy! Plenty of indoor seating with an accessible ramp and a few tables on the patio if the weather was better. Appreciated the bartenders recommendations on what to try as a first-timer. Overall great experience and one you must try if doing the trail! (Or just generally perusing the Scott's Addition brewery scene of course :))“

“Great visit! I came for happy hour with some colleagues. The happy hour menu has some great deals. We got fries for eh while table. I ordered beef & chicken empanadas and the karaoke kool aid. Good drinks & great service. Got busy towards end for jazz night and our server for a little overwhelmed, but was still sweet and friendly! As for the vibe, I love all the photos around the place. There's a little stage on the side, not just for jazz night but apparently they hold events almost every night. Once it started getting dark out, it seemed more like an intimate jazz club with low, blue lights and table side lights & candles. Will definitely have to come back and try other items on the menu, it all sounded so good.“
“Ah, Basic City Beer! Let me tell ya, sonny, that place is like a time machine. You step in, and suddenly you're whisked away to the good ol' days when folks wore suspenders and bowler hats, and the air smelled of pipe tobacco and adventure.Now, Reilly and Tyler, those two young whippersnappers, they joined me for a tipple at Basic City Beer. We each had two beers, and let me tell ya, those brews were smoother than a buttered biscuit on a Sunday mornin'. Reilly had a stout that was so dark, it looked like it'd been brewed in the depths of Hades. Tyler, bless his heart, went for a hoppy IPA that made his mustache twitch with delight.The place itself? Well, it's got that old wear house feel, like it's been around since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The wooden beams creak, and the walls whisper secrets of bygone days. And there she was, the lovely lady behind the bar, with eyes as bright as a harvest moon. She poured our beers with a grace that'd make a swan jealous, and she even let us sample 'em before we committed to a full pint. Ain't that hospitality for ya?Now, we didn't eat a lick while we were there. No sir, we were too busy exploring the back room. And let me tell ya, that back room is a treasure trove. Ping pong tables as far as the eye can see! Reilly and Tyler, they fancied themselves ping pong champions, but truth be told, they played like a couple of drunken squirrels tryin' to dance a jig. Balls were flyin', paddles were flailin', and laughter echoed off the walls like a chorus of tipsy angels.And don't get me started on the amenities! Two bathrooms, sonny! Not one, but two! You could take your pick: the one with the floral wallpaper that smells like grandma's potpourri, or the other one with the flickering light bulb that gives you a sense of impending adventure. And that shuffleboard table—oh, it's a thing of beauty. We slid those pucks like seasoned sea captains navigating treacherous waters.But the pièce de résistance? The bean bag game! You know the one, where you toss those little bags into a hole like you're flingin' corn at a barn door. Reilly and Tyler, they were fierce competitors. Faces red, brows furrowed, they chucked those bean bags with the determination of men who'd lost their spectacles in a haystack. And when one finally landed in the hole, they hooted and hollered like they'd won the lottery.And the beer, my friend? Oh, it flowed like a mountain stream after a spring rain. Smooth, crisp, and as refreshing as a dip in the swimming hole. I tell ya, I'd come back to Basic City Beer faster than a jackrabbit on a hot skillet. So, if you find yourself wanderin' those creaky floors, raise a glass to Reilly, Tyler, and that lovely lady behind the bar. And remember, sonny, life's too short to drink bad beer—so make it a Basic City brew, and you'll be grinnin' like a possum in a peach orchard! ?“
“Ardent is my favorite brewery in Virginia. I love Pilsners and lagers and Ardent brews some of the best. I feel like most breweries concentrate on IPAs but Ardent provides a nice mix of all, so all types of beer drinkers should be satisfied. It's a great space to hangout whether you are inside or outside, there's plenty of seating options. All the staff is friendly and attentive, it must be a great working environment as a lot of the staff have been there for many years. There's plenty of food options as well as Ardent has a nice menu of sandwiches, salads and appetizers. Also within the same parking lot you have Eazzy Burger and ZZQ BBQ which are top notch! You can pickup beer to go and they also provide delivery options as well.Visit the Barrel Room around the corner for some of their beers while watching comedy or singing along with karaoke night.Fun, food and great beers. What more can you ask for?“

“We did Door Dash. Our burgers were huge, not overcooked! Fries were skinny and crisp. Toppings were on the side in a separate container. Arrived hot. Would have done 5 stars if the cheese had been put on the burger and not buried under lettuce, pickles, Onions and tomatoes in the separate toppings box. That was odd.“
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Antonio and his team at Strangeways. After being unexpectedly ghosted by another venue, we had to quickly shift our wedding reception to Strangeways. They made the transition seamless from the start. Antonio was constantly in touch, keeping us updated and even offering a backup plan to host our ceremony onsite in case of rain. The event room was stunning, and the entire team was a pleasure to work with. We are thrilled with how everything turned out and deeply appreciate the effort Strangeways put in to make our day special. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved!“

“Dinner with a friend at The Savory Grain. Early reservations for two and were seated immediately. It had been a long time since I had been out so we really wanted to talk over drinks before ordering so I checked with our waitress that this was ok. We did not want to tie up her table if a turnover was needed. She encouraged us to relax and go at our own pace and asked us to let her know when we were ready to order since she did not want to keep interrupting us. A couple of happy hour beers in we ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer, shrimp and grits entree, and the meatloaf entree. The beer was nice and cold, the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer arrived long enough before the entree for us to enjoy it. The entrees were generous enough that we both brought home leftovers and mine became my husband’s dinner. I could not have asked for a nicer evening out.“

“Overall this is a nice spot for a quick meal. The dinning area has limited seating and parking isn't that great, however I assume most of the patrons are people from the community. My friends and I all had a different style of Pizza. They seem to run out of the Grandma style crust very fast. I'd recommend if you're looking for something good for take out.“

“As we approached the heart of Richmond, our first stop was Mekong Restaurant to indulge in some delightful cuisine. With its exceptionally high ratings and thousands of reviews, it seemed everyone had something positive to say about this eatery. And rightfully so, the food was simply delicious, with each dish receiving glowing recommendations. Of course, I must echo the sentiment and highly recommend their Vietnamese pho!“

“Really great Philly cheesesteaks are the draw at this establishment. The meat on both the regular and chicken steaks was well seasoned and they used good quality buns and cheese. The shoestring fries were okay and the iced tea was good. They did not have a to-go cup for my leftover tea and we had to ask for silverware and drink refills but the service was fast and friendly.“

“I would have given this place 5 stars but due to recent changes I couldn't do it. They stopped taking reservations, then you had to have half your party there if you want to get a table. I get that it's busy on Tuesday but these new changes are aggravating and mostly annoying. The staff are great and provide excellent service. Hopefully they revert back.“

“Food was solid bar fare. Service could have been a disaster but somehow Tyler was able to keep things moving despite being the only server in the crowded restaurant. He did an excellent job communicating and managing expectations. 5 stars for him!“

“I'm giving 4 stars because the bartender was working hard and responsive, the food was tasty. Mango Habanero wings were good, but could really use use heat! But I'd give it 3 stars based on the fact that I ordered extra jalapeños on my pizza. I was charged $2 extra and I have no problem with paying that but I was given the standard amount for a normal order. $2 worth of jalapeños should equate to a whole lot more. Come on PBR, please don't rip me off!! You trying to nickel and dime us?!“
