“A Must-Visit Spot — Fun, Flavor, and the Perfect Place to Watch a Game!

The Beach House in Virginia is such a fun place to hang out! The whole beach-bar theme makes you feel like you’re kicking back on vacation, even if you’re just stopping by after work. It’s also an awesome spot to watch a game — plenty of TVs, great energy, and a crowd that actually gets into it.

The food was fantastic. I ordered buffalo wings — all flats and extra crispy — and they absolutely delivered. Big, meaty wings (none of those tiny “where’s the rest of it?” wings you get at some places), cooked perfectly and loaded with flavor.

Cocktails? Not weak at all. They know what they’re doing behind the bar, and it shows.

And the service… easily some of the best I’ve had. Friendly, fast, and super welcoming — the kind of staff that makes you want to come back again.

If you’re looking for great food, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere to catch a game, The Beach House is the move!“

“I have eaten here multiple times over the years. It is a good casual spot if you want to eat at the Hotel and not drive. On this occasion, I had a terrific BLT, steak fries, and a Stone IPA (I actually had three, but I walked back to my room). My waitress was really nice. I enjoyed my meal.“

“Dan Schutt band! Great service too.“

“My favorite venue for live music“

“Hands down one of the best whiskey experiences so far. From the selection of whiskey to the knowledge of the bartenders Nick and Brian, this will be somewhere we keep coming back to. The food was delicious. We had the wings, cornbread, brisket and fries. The brisket can compete with bbq places that focus solely on bbq. The service of Nick and Brian show how passionately they care about whiskey and the experience of the customer. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and taste a huge selection of whiskey.“

“Best Burgers, Tator Tots and Bloody Marys!!!!!!“

“Burger’s are out of this world!!!“

“There’s rust on the buffets, the food was room temperature and the bathrooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. There is so much build up on the faucets and there is dried human waste smeared in the stalls. I left an entire plate of food sitting there because there was no way I was eating food prepared there after I saw the conditions presented to the public. I don’t even want to think about what the kitchen looks like.“

“The staff was kind the staff were very polite! Was on top of getting our drinks and food orders! Very fast on getting our orders to the table! Will be returning soon! They also had a very appetizing kids menu as well my son ate every last bite of his waffle and sausage!“

“Cameron the bartender is the best ever 😊“

“We stopped for a late dinner and were delighted. The patio features garage doors which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We started off with artichoke dip, which was delicious. For mains we had the Monkey and a plain burger. The burgers were well seasoned and formed fresh on site. The artichoke dip had a significant amount of artichoke and was well balanced. We finished up with a brownie sundae.

The service was great and the food came out promptly in the right order. Everyone was very friendly and happy to see us.“

“Northside Grille has a ongoing great lineup of musical acts in a very relaxed atmosphere and high-quality talent“

“Best bar and kitchen staff in the city. It is smoking but the bar is kept immaculate due to great management and staff. Security is friendly and welcoming. The bartenders Jenna, Stephanie, Savannah, Ed, Andi, and Ashley are the best in the business. If you want a relaxed environment with a fun vibe hit up this local spot for delicious food and great entertainment. Thank me later.“

“Great place! Love GWAR and the GWAR BAR, took my youngest son with me and he loved the ambiance… We both got shirts and wear them all the time!“

“Only fan spot where the primary staff make you feel that they’re glad you’re there. Just don’t get that elsewhere. Really annoying Eagles songs though. When it’s jumpin’, it’s an experience.“

“What a great Richmond sports bar. Their food is well above average. My favorites include the chicken quesadilla, the chicken nachos, and my absolute favorite is the buffalo chicken sandwich with ranch instead of blue cheese. They have all of the tasty fried foods (mozzarella sticks, fried ravioli, jalapeño, poppers, tots, etc.). They always have a large selection on tap with experienced bartenders (Kate)!

The bad = parking. First the city takes away much of the street parking. And then they replace the large free parking lot with a crappy feng shui park.

Tip: often the owner will make something special (usually can be found on their Facebook page)“

“Great spot for our poker run. Lots of space, nice stage and tons to do. Food by Debbie was made to perfection. Troy is very kind and efficient. Very clean and friendly environment. Thank you for letting us hang out!“

“If you have a few extra minutes, skip the fast food corporate places and enjoy the quality food and service of Andy's. It's nice to find a place like this and return to a time when people cared genuinely about the customer and not receive a corporate slogan approved by a focus group.“

“Hi just arrived in richmond from Ireland and dropped into the pour house to watch a game. Harrison has been the most amazing host and with the help of Johonny just helped us get tickets to a local college football game. Seriously friendly helpfull a must drop in. Mandy and Karl from Dublin Ireland“

“Great place to hangout with friends, and meet new people. Plenty to do here, with games like corn hole, basketball and pool, as well as plenty of seating if you just want to chill. The Monday night pool tournament is competitive, but the atmosphere is always friendly. Karaoke is on Thursday and Saturday, iirc. Bar staff and security are efficient and friendly, and the food options are plentiful, and always delicious! I highly recommend City Beach.“

“Great atmosphere and overall vibe with an amazing patio. Fun place to enjoy great food, friends, live sports and events. You're greeted by a really inviting group of professional servers and bartenders. Who really enhance and generate a pleasurable and local community experience. Truly making memorable moments. :)🌞“

“First and foremost Sage was our waitress and she was sweetest and most personable waitress she was amazing! The food is so good and fresh and the drinks are on point. They have a great happy hour as well. The atmosphere was so gorgeous and homey! Try it I promise you will not be disappointed!“

“I spent Halloween weekend in rva for the first time . Let me tell you, Babes’ WAS THE PLACE TO BE AT! The atmosphere was awesome and music was jumping! I felt VERY comfortable and included. I ordered vodka crans all night and the beautiful southern bartender, Lily made them! I loved Babes’ and it’s going to be a stop EVERY time I come into town.“
