Bars in Radford

“PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! 🤩 A few years back when I moved to the area, I was eager to explore downtown’s food scene. At the time, this spot had a bit of a rowdy reputation, so I steered clear—then not long after, it shut down.

Fast-forward to now: I saw folks on Facebook raving about the new Screamer’s and had to check it out for myself. So the three of us gave it a shot—and WOW! 🍴 The food was delicious, the prices were surprisingly affordable, and the service? Absolutely top-notch. Joe, the bartender/ partner, was super friendly and clearly passionate about the place. I also heard some upgrades are in the works, which is exciting!

The vibe is cozy (which I love), but it is a small space, so I can see it filling up quickly. They host karaoke on Fridays—I'll definitely be back to check that out. Hopefully the acoustics strike a good balance in the intimate setting. Too much volume can crowd the mood, but I’m hopeful they keep it fun and just right.

BOTTOM LINE: if you haven’t been yet—GO give it a try! It just might surprise you too. ❤️👍“

“Radford sharkeys is fine everyone is friendly and service is great. However Blacksburg sharkeys is very poor service and they refused to serve me because I was told I didn’t leave enough of a tip which is illegal so stay away from Blacksburg sharkeys“

“I had previously written that the establishment was closed without any way of knowing that it was but now that I got a chance to hang out at Riley's the place is absolutely amazing. Very chill, club vibes. It's basically what the area is missing where you can grab a beer, play pool, and shake your booty while meeting amazing people.“
