11 Best Bars in Blacksburg

“My daughter and I were in town and found this gem. Ty was our waiter and he was great! I got the filet mignon and my daughter got the beef tips. We really enjoyed our food. We got a charcuterie board to go to munch on at our vacation rental house. I will come here again on my next trip to Blacksburg!“

“California pizza is the best“

“Delicious food, friendly staff!“

“Not just the coolest bar and nightclub in Blacksburg, it's the ONLY cool bar and nightclub in Blacksburg.
No one else is hosting any live music in town (yeah, OK the Lyric, but it's once every other month) and they are booking great regional talent. For instance, last Saturday featured a ten-band metal showcase starting at 3pm followed by a rave.
Beyond that, the space is big and dark so you don't have to worry about elbow room unless there is an event, the TVs aren't constantly set on ESPN, the people are friendly and service is fast.
The Milk Parlor and a couple other stores on the same block are some of the final holdouts of the Ye Olde Blacksburg. So if your cool Brooklyn friends are in town, bring them here so they don't think you've gone to college in a Virtual Northern Virginia populated by meatheads and squares, and that in ten years you'll wind up assistant manager of some sad hotel in a town even less cool than Blacksburg.
The food is great. To properly address the limitations of their menu would require a paragraph about Virginia's stupid alcohol and kitchen regulations.“

“best place around town to get food and drinks with friends“

“We had a party of 11 and they busted their butts to get us a table, and we were seated in like 15 min. We always have excellent service. Shout out to Miguel. Thank you for making it a fun time and for all the yummy food. I'm certain we'll be back.“

“Top of the Stairs is an absolute staple in Blacksburg — a place you have to visit at least once if you’re anywhere near Virginia Tech. The atmosphere is lively, fun, and full of that classic college-town energy. Whether you’re grabbing drinks with friends, watching a game, or just hanging out on the iconic steps, TOTS always delivers a great night.

The drinks are strong and reasonably priced, the bar food hits the spot, and the service is quick even when the place gets packed. Their signature drinks and pitchers are legendary, and the vibe is perfect for both students and alumni looking to relive old memories.

If you’re looking for the best bar experience near VT, Top of the Stairs is a must-go. Great crowd, great drinks, great environment — it’s one of those places that defines the Blacksburg experience.“

“I work at Best Buy across the street and recently went out on a TV delivery, not realizing it was for the owner of the Brewhaus. He let us know the TV was actually meant to go to the Brewhaus itself, so we offered to drop it off there for him. He was super appreciative and surprised us with lunch on the haus 🍽️ Let me tell you… the food was insane. That brisket? Straight killer 🔥🔥 Huge shoutout to the man in charge—great guy serving up amazing food. If you haven’t been yet, you gotta check it out 😋“
