Nice bar/restaurant on the downtown mall. We enjoyed being able to move between the indoor and outdoor area throughout the evening.

Really enjoyed this place. The grilled shrimp were great and our bartender Jada makes the best French 75 I’ve ever had.

What a disappointment! All the food was subpar. Their signature fried chicken was dry. It was obviously cooked in advance and then heated upon order with some sauce applied, Fries were soggy. Broccolini was actually broccoli and unappealing with yellow buds. Service was good.

We've eaten here several times while visiting our daughter at UVA. Food is excellent, service consistently fast and friendly, and the location can't be beat. Highly recommend.

First visit I had the Secret Garden cocktail (so refreshing and delicious), which made me come back and decided to try the steak frites. As a Nebraskan, one of the best combos I’ve had with the butter and sauce served with it. Instant favorite. Usually phone eats first, but not here.

First visit to The Fitzroy. We were welcomed with open arms by a very personable staff. Great hometown atmosphere. Liquid provisions were top notch and the food was incredible! Don't pass up an opportunity to check this out.

The Fitzroy is a standout spot in downtown Charlottesville. Exceptional cocktails—crafted with real care and creativity—set the tone for a great night out. The food is just as impressive, with a menu that balances elevated comfort with bold flavor. The atmosphere ties it all together: stylish without trying too hard, and always welcoming. Whether you’re there for dinner, drinks, or just a night out, The Fitzroy delivers across the board. A must-visit when you’re in town.
We stopped for a drink on the patio & our servers were so attentive! Appreciate it & we’ll be back!

Great spot downtown, super busy for the Kentucky Derby but they still sat us immediately and our food was out astonishingly fast. Burger and fried chicken sandwich were both killer. Cocktails are awesome too. Only wish they had a a few more IPAs on tap

Very dark and noisy

BJ was our bartender and he did an incredible job! You can tell that the owner really cares about the quality of food and service. We had the Virginia Gold cocktail, the Nitro Espresso Martini (must try!), and the pretzel, which was delicious. This is a new favorite for us in Cville!
