22 Best Bars in Charlottesville

“What an incredible little restaurant. I still can’t believe we happened across it! My boyfriend and I live in DC and eat out quite frequently, and Tavola topped some Michelin star restaurants we’ve tried. We were blown away by the kindness and knowledge of the sommelier and staff, the generosity and talent of the kitchen, and the overall atmosphere and ambiance. Every dish was on point, every service mark was hit, and I could write paragraphs about the wine recommendations. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Huge thank you to Clay, Caleb, Kendall and everyone else we met for making our night so memorable. If you’re thinking about opening another location I vote DC!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“creative cocktails lots of food options“

“Went to Glass Half Full with a friend for a quick lunch before shopping. We were seated quickly and waited on by a very friendly server while there. The service was fast, although I was a big fan of the grilled fish tacos I ordered. I think I would have preferred the fried version better. My friend however very much enjoyed her grilled salmon salad. I was also pleased at the attention that the server gave to my friends dairy allergy.“

“Can't speak on the food because I have never had it but service is solid and atmosphere is unmatched. It's rarely if ever so crowded that you are uncomfortable and they more often than not will have live music. Easily my favorite spot to go close to grounds.“

“My partner and I really enjoyed our dinner and drinks Sunday night. The cocktails were some of the best we've had in Virginia and the wings were top tier too. Staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is upscale and elegant yet still cozy. Will be back!“

“Had such a great belated birthday party with work friends. Jamie and her staff are amazing. they make you fell so welcome and ensure that you have a good time. Every thing was great from the music the food the drinks the painting. FABULOUS!!!!! if your looking to destress this is the place to go“

“STH offers a dependable menu of steaks, sandwiches, salads, and burgers. We recently went hoping for brunch, but since it’s not offered on Saturdays, we ordered from the lunch menu (the strawberry beet salad looked especially tempting). The dessert list sticks with classics like apple tart, brownie sundae, and cheesecake; we tried the chocolate cake, which was satisfying. Overall, this is a good choice for anyone who wants familiar, well-prepared American standards.“

“Great place to grab something before your flight! Service is extremely quick! Even though there was a line wrapping around the place they got everyone's orders in and out quickly and efficiently. My chicken salad sandwich on a croissant was fantastic! Staff was also extremely pleasant and the prices were actually not bad considering it's an airport.“

“This was our first time here man was it good. Nice clean location and the service was great. So nice to walk into an actual pizza restaurant and get hit with the smells of pizza. Most of the places around here, just have pizza as an item on the menu, but not as the centerpiece. I ordered the side Caesar salad was delicious and the spinach and artichoke dip we ordered, was as well, but come on...8 little pieces of bread is not enough for all that dip. We ordered the house pizza to share and it was delicious. This is our new favorite Charlottesville pizza. Paper straws are trash…trash I say, and I will bring my own plastic straws next time.“

“Great food, affordable drinks friendly staff.“

“Fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10/10 recommend. Their trivia night is a blast and their vegan and non-vegan offering has something for everyone.“

“The burgers were excellent! Service was fast and friendly! Yum!!!! We live in Broadway VA and this will be our go to spot when in the area!!!!“

“Food was great. Sitting on the toilet all night afterwards wasn’t“

“We drive an hour from Harrisonburg to see movies at Alamo instead of our local Regal. At Alamo, the seats in the front half of the theater are comfy and fully recline. Food and drinks are delivered to your seat - and the food is good, more than just popcorn and hot dogs. We also like getting to shows early for the fun 30 minute pre-show reels.“

“Outstanding Food And Service“

“Great burger love it but the fries need work they sit on the counter and wait for the server to bring them with your order and they are cold and greasy by the time you get them. Last time there in May I sent them back and asked for a fresh cooked batch which they did and they were so much better“

“Never had a bad time here.“

“After a long drive from NJ to VA it was great to have a relaxing dinner. I had the Root Burger; it was delicious. My husband devoured the fish & chips and my daughter was very pleased that grilled cheese was offered on the kids menu. Kudos to our server Wendy M. who was very professional, attentive, and kind.“

“Crozet Pizza is the best. Nice to be able to enjoy it on The Corner! We will be back!“

“We highly recommend fried green tomatoes as an opener!!!!! Wowza!!!! We had a fantastic meal and the service was A1!!!!!“

“Laid back beach / Jimmy Buffet vibes...or as close as you can get in the mountains of Virginia. Large covered porch is smoke free and there's a separate covered patio area for smokers. Loads of tvs covering the games, happy hour specials. Extensive menu of the typical bar food from wings and pizza to BLT, Philly cheese streak, fish tacos. Service is good but not rushed consistent with relaxed atmosphere of a bar hangout vs a high turnover restaurant.“
