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

First time there tonight and it was an amazing experience! The service was so friendly and although they were super busy they were fast and the food and drinks were great!

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!

Lovely restaurant ! Located directly in downtown Charlottesville ! I have been here for dinner twice and I’ve eaten lunch here once at The Fitzroy and I’m a very happy customer . The service is excellent , bar none , they are always smiling and pleasant. The food is great . The steak I had on my first visit was so good it had me coming back for more . I tried a few different menu options and everything has been great ! It is slightly on the pricier side but it’s well worth what you’re paying.

Attended a concert in Charlottesville a few weeks ago and had dinner at The Fitzroy prior. What a great restaurant! Location is right in the heart of the walking mall. Lively and cool atmosphere but also more quiet tables in the back. The menu is varied and offers multiple vegetarian options. My wife had the Mushroom Shawarma and I had the Lemon Caeser salad with Fried Chicken. Both were Excellent! Really nice beer and wine selections and my wife had one of their specialty cocktails which she loved. Very reasonable pricing on food and drinks. The staff was welcoming and very efficient, they made the dining experience at The Fitsroy fun! This restaurant was a fantastic find!! We have a new go to place whenever we go to Charlottesville.
I went with my husband and another couple this past week for dinner. Drinks were good but the food was less than mediocre. My salad was warm and old tasting. The fried chicken on top also tasted old and greasy. I would not recommend this restaurant for anything other than appetizers and drinks. We did have an artichoke dip that was ok. But it had greasy fried pita chips

We went to The Fitzroy on a Friday night. Pregame gathering for a football game. Warm greetings from the staff added to the ‘happening’ atmosphere. Wonderful food and service. Although we live over 600 miles away, whenever we visit C’ville, we’re going back to the Fitzroy. If you’re nearby, make it your plan as well.

We dined at The Fitzroy the last time we were in Charlottesville. We were seated outside and the weather was amazing. The food was solid and the service was excellent!

My go to spot for espresso martinis and a good pretzel. The staff is always nice as well. I also recommend the lemon Cesar salad.
