Winks Bar is a popular spot with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. It is especially known for its awesome burgers, including the Bacon Blue Cheese and Sunrise Burger, served at great prices. The restaurant is run by John, who is friendly and works alone as the proprietor, cook, bartender, and prep cook. The only meal he makes is hamburgers, with different varieties listed on a blackboard on the wall when you walk in. The drinks menu is limited to bottled water and Ale eight one, also displayed on a blackboard. Orders are taken at the counter, which has 12 stools, and are served one at a time, so it can take a little patience. This place isn’t the quickest, but the unique experience is worth the wait. The decor is a mix between dive bar and Americana diner, decorated with stickers from all over the country, vintage skateboard decks, motorcycle parts, and an old BMX hanging from the ceiling. The building is an old diner car from the 1950s, adding to the eclectic vibe. There are a few outside tables for waiting or relaxing once your order is ready. The atmosphere is cozy and quirky, with music like stoner metal playing softly in the background. The owner, John, sometimes shows up unexpectedly, as he closes once he sells out, so calling ahead is recommended to check the hours and specials. Customers describe it as a cool, local experience with great food, friendly service, and a fun vibe. Winks Bar is a must-visit for burger lovers and those looking for a unique, laid-back spot in Richmond.
