“Sportsman Restaurant and Lounge is simply the best place to have a beer, shoot pool, throw darts, listen to great live music and meet good down to earth friends. There is no negativity and no drama here like other local bars on Williamsburg Road. The bartender is amazing and your tab will not get jacked up like at other local venues. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised at really good food and service in a very clean and relaxed environment I can't say enough good things about Sportsman Restaurant and Lounge. My son and I go here regularly and absolutely love it every time we always have a blast! You will too, I promise!“
“I can't say enough great things about this place! I have become a regular there which says a lot since I don't really go out much these days. It's literally and figuratively a family atmosphere. I was able to take my son to celebrate his birthday and introduce him to some great local bands. The staff are super friendly, the food is great and everyone there is just really friendly. The new owners have really turned this place around and destined to become the new "hot spot" 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.“
“We did Door Dash. Our burgers were huge, not overcooked! Fries were skinny and crisp. Toppings were on the side in a separate container. Arrived hot. Would have done 5 stars if the cheese had been put on the burger and not buried under lettuce, pickles, Onions and tomatoes in the separate toppings box. That was odd.“
“I’ve been coming here since forever. It’s my favorite happy hour spot because they do in fact have the best happy hour in Richmond. Everyone here feels like my closest friend! It’s a VIBE! I can go on just stop by if you haven’t yet! Thx to all hard working staff who are always smiling and willing to go above and beyond. ?✨“
“I’ve been to this place 3 times and got something different each time. The food is impressive! I would describe it as… gourmet bar food?! Even the hot dog I had was ground and cased, in house! They put thought and care into this food so I’d never label it ‘bar food’. Vegan and vegetarian options (my girlfriend loved) and I’m not talking about all the processed boxed stuff. It’s a great, comfortable experience and the people are so friendly!! I highly recommend it!“
“The food was great! Along with the customer service! I had the seafood fries, bang’n shrimp and the kids nuggets/tenders. I was late to a birthday celebration so I didn’t get to try anything fancy. Everything came out quick, with no issues. Their bathroom was super clean. I recommend trying, especially during their Thursday Happy Hour!“
“I enjoy this venue however they have a mouse or rat problem big time. We were at a show a few weekends ago and I watched one giant rodent run past my feet into their kitchen.... very alarming. I brought it up to staff they didn't seem too worried. I hope they are aware but I wouldn't eat anything from here...I do enjoy the shows and venue is really nice how it is split off and they have the outside area and you can go in and out as you please !“

“Had to be the best burger I’ve had yet. My server Derrick was on top of service and made sure I wasn’t left without anything. He was really easy to talk to and made the experience that much greater. The environment was super relaxing and the music just topped it off. I’ll be sure to stop here every time I fly into Richmond, VA. 10/10 highly recommended“
“Food and service were great. Staff was friendly and attentive. Cool, laid back atmosphere but quite loud when they have live music. We went with friends who we hadn't seen in awhile and it was difficult to carry a conversation. Great signer and music though!“
“This is a really great place to watch the game. Loads of great beers and drinks for everyone. They had Falcon Smash and Clever girl on tap. What more do you need.The appetizers are really solid and the entrees are plenty of food.The staff here does a great job at pacing drinks and food/apps during the game. They do a good job at staggering apps and food while being on top of drinks.Highly recommend for games.“
“This is still a smoking bar (with a tiny back room for non-smoking to comply with law), so if you have a problem with smoke, stay away.Good is good,but just your basic bar food. Nothing really special, but it's always cooked well. Burgers are awesome. Wings are great, but beware. Even mild are VERY hot.Staff is wonderful. Friendly and prompt.Wheelchair accessibility: All one level. No steps and tables are spaced well, so easy to navigate.“
“First Bar I ever went in, and I'm still there...Always great people and amazing customers..live bands, D.J. They have pool tournament on mondays and cards on Wednesday...Stop by and check it out. always ready to put ur favorite Game and or Race on one of the T.Vs“
“Excellent service, food was off the chain.Plenty of wall mounted televisions, even after I moved a few times as friends and family joined us, I still had line of sight to watch UNC beat Duke.Had a someone right there whenever we need refills, drinks, silverware, whatever. Always on time.“
“Went here on a whim with a friend. There's designated parking on the side of the building, tho very limited. Expect the pat down and purse check. Music and crowd were mixed. Fairly crowded! However, for so many people being inside, with no real "direction" at the bar, we started a tab/ordered and were served really quickly each time we approached. Drinks were okay. The food? Bar food. There are games in the back and karaoke in the front. Pool, basketball, and I believe the game is called "Cornhole"? I felt safe the entire time, and there were no "incidents". Also never a line for the restroom!! Win! Id return.Parking: Free parking along the side of the building. And very limited.“
“Stopped in around 7 pm after my day shift at nearby bar to check out Easy St. it wasn’t very busy yet. I had never been, and many of the same guests and staff usually turn up back at my place after they close since we’re open until 2 am. As I have my own bartending and beverage management biz, do private “bar rescue” type consulting work, tend bar on contract and W2 basis, have managed bars, trained staff, conducted TIPS training; I think I can leave a professional unemotional honest opinion. Five stars! Clean, organized and welcoming atmosphere. The bartenders, Zach and Kayla were first rate, casual and competent, polite and professional. I had a Jack and Coke, fried pickle appetizer, burger and fries. All served up nicely by Zach, while I conversed with Kayla about their typical business vibe. I don’t know contextually where the negative reviews are from, my experience was positive, food was great for pub genre, the staff very personable, and an impressive organized, clean bar (telegraphing they are attentive to the other little things too.) Worth a visit, and I’ll be back. 5*****“
“Great time! Taco Tuesday is where it's at! They gave Brad a fancier mule cup than mine, but you know it was before I got there, so no hard feelings. Went for a work outting but would visit on another day to watch a game if that was my thing.“
