25 Best Wine Bars near Glen Allen

“Bartizan was the absolute perfect venue for our bridal shower. We comfortably hosted about 35 people using the downstairs and mezzanine area. Food and wine were excellent (especially the amazing cast iron pizzas!), and service was outstanding. Kristin helped set things up at the beginning and Rachel managed the event perfectly. Each of the staff were super friendly and helpful throughout the event. I will 100% plan my next event at Bartizan!!!“

“Importante Bodega Bar accommodated my organization when we were in a pinch for space and I couldn’t have been more delighted with their hospitality and food. Their waitstaff was gracious, the manager was so personable, and their event coordinator was on point. But I can’t say enough good things about the food. Everyone took some to go because we couldn’t let that deliciousness go to waste. Even my picky 17 month old loved the left overs I brought home! Their margarita was also phenomenal. Seriously 10/10. Will be back!“

“Lance was great! Wine was delicious, food too!“

“Although I’m from Richmond Va, the food and atmosphere makes me feel like I’m back at home! 100 stars all across the board! Every time I’ve come here (5x) the service is excellent and the Food is Mouthwatering to say the least. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Ms.Sunshine as well as Demarquise and when I the southern hospitality is above bar I truly mean it. If you e never experienced Catfish and grits /fried tomatoes don’t walk…RUN to the Jonesboro location!! I’m literally about to walk in now and order just that! It’s worth the money but even more worth the Organic experience you’ll receive the moment you walk in!“

“Amazing! The most delicious food you could possibly imagine!!!!“

“Phenomenal flavors paired together for sweet and savory dishes. Unique menu options they change regularly! So yummy 😋“

“What a wonderful space. Great wine, great service, wonderful food. Best steak and potato’s I’ve had in a long time. The charcuterie board, breads, dips and salad were great as well. Lamb ragu, mussels, all were great. But the stand out was the duck. I’m not a fan of duck, but theirs is divine. I would go back there only for the duck even. Great meal.“

“Professionally: I found this establishment on a chance. But once I entered it was a complete vibe. Owners are genuinely nice & treats everyone with dignity & respect. Place makes you feel like you're welcomed home. Servers at this point remember my drink order and you can't forget about mama. I started off saying professionally, but this place really is like a family. Not to mention the food is banging. You gotta try mama Lo's seafood salad. I'm from bmore and its my starter!!

Personally: I don't honestly know or think they know what the owners have done for me or given me. I've always loved music, but have never been confident in myself. But these ladies have taken a chance on me time & time again. Them believing in me had made me believe myself. The amount of love they show, the amount of care they give, & the amount of believe they have has made me a better singer & person all around. So I truly truly thank them. I'm honored to be apart of your extended family.“

“We had a birthday party at Memi’s and it was great. The manager was easy to work with and very responsive during planning. The food and drinks were delicious. We used the downstairs lounge, so our group could be in its own, and it suited our needs perfectly. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite spots in RVA! The staff is so knowledgeable about their products and the service is top notch. Not to mention the food and wine is exquisite! Most recently had Mike as our server and he was absolutely fabulous. Above and beyond! Would recommend to anyone looking for a date night spot or happy hour. Also heard they are opening up morning service with coffee and baked goods - can’t wait to check it out!“

“We just returned from Boston where we had a good experience at an Italian restaurant in the North End. We thought we would make a comparison: well, this place was head and shoulders above that famous area. In fact, I would say this is by far the best Italian restaurant in Richmond; better than Edo Squid; better than Dinamo; better than the famous, now closed, Mama Zu’s. Great wine selection , perfectly cooked food, delicious desert and all at a reasonable price. I have eaten at many Italian restaurants on the east coast and in Italy. If you skip this place, you are missing out on one of the best anywhere.“

“Absolutely delicious and great customer service. Highly recommend. The Seafood Pie & Fried Fish are must tried!“

“Amuse is one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond, Virginia for many reasons: First and foremost is the excellent food prepared by Chef Will Burgess and his staff. My wife and I dined there 2 nights ago; we had an interesting, delicious asparagus appetizer, her salmon entree was perfect, and I had the most delicious vegan entree I have ever had; it was a harissa mushroom dish with an incredibly amazing light sauce. The service and ambiance are also always wonderful.“

“Bread and calamari were marvelous. I would know, I’m part Italian! 🇮🇹 On top of that they didn’t judge me for underdressing. Bravo! If only this place wasn’t only open in the evening.“

“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.“

“My husband asked the bartender/head mixologist, Steve Yang, for a gin based dealer's choice and he made the most wonderful drink I've had in a long time. He called it "Some kind of wonderful" it had dill, yogurt, and some other stuff and tasted like some hard to find European candy. Awesome!“

“Solid cheese steak hoagie. Love the sesame roll. We ate at the bar, I enjoyed a crisp topochico, while my partner had a hazy IPA. We split the cheese steak hoagie (minus pickled peps). Classic fries and delicious potato salad. Looking forward to coming back and trying the tomato pie.“

“Where do I even begin? This place is incredible! Hands down, it has some of the best burgers and oysters in Richmond. Every bite was amazing, and the quality really stands out.

What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the bartender, Oshane. His professionalism, attention to detail, and skill behind the bar are top-tier. He not only crafts excellent drinks but also creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

If you’re in Richmond or even just visiting do yourself a favor and ask for Oshane. He’ll make sure your experience is nothing short of exceptional!“

“Very upscale and very good service“

“Briana P. Was absolutely amazing. I cannot express enough how much we enjoyed our first experience. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left she made sure everything was perfect. The blueberry mimosas were so good. The gooey goose bread was 10/10. Her smile, energy, and passion for seeing others come together over a meal was felt instantly. I cannot wait to come back again and hopefully she will be in a managers position. I just hope she’ll make the exception of serving us again. Give her a raise. Give her a promotion. Take a piece of her hair and clone 5 more of her lol 😂 ♥️ I’ve never had such an amazing experience before! Thank you!“

“What can I say about this Firebirds in Richmond? Amazing food, service, ambiance and the manager Liliana even came by to make sure everything was perfect. Definitely coming back soon.“

“And great mimosas! Also a nice patio to enjoy the day.“

“We had our 20 year alumni event for about 24 people with dinner, drinks, and dessert. Melissa was super responsive to questions and alterations for the event and the food and service were awesome when we attended. The 2 servers did an excellent job.“

“Son took me here for my birthday (June 4) 🎂 🥳. Always wanted to dine here, and so glad we did!! The atmosphere and ambience is perfect for any occasion: after work happy hour w/dinner; date night; celebratory events because the decor is very chic, but not overstated - add white linens to all the tables, and it can be taken up a notch. Great lighting, wonderful hostess and service, and the food... excellent! She-crabby soup is 🔥 (don't share a cup like we did - trust me)! The ginger glaze salmon over risotto- cooked perfectly (not sloppy or runny); lamb lollipops - tender, moist, and the sauce was awesome! We didn't intend to clean our plates, but we did! 🤭😂 We didn't enjoy the fried oysters (too bready and soft), or the roasted bacon brussel sprouts (not chopped enough; too dry - could use more sauce/drizzle to bind it a little more, - chasing each scoop around the plate - not a good look 😆). Overall great experience and will definitely go back because we were sooo satisfied with our meals that we want to try other dishes!! The location just off of Three Chopt makes it feel like a hidden gem!“

“Our server was very personable and friendly, which made us feel welcome right away. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was impressively fast. The manager was also very nice and frequently checked in to make sure everything was going well. On top of that, the ambiance is beautiful and really adds to the overall experience. We’ll definitely be back!“
