17 Best Beer Bars in Richmond

Väsen Brewing Company Brewery • $$
3331 W Moore St, Richmond

“The first on our mission to complete the Richmond Beer Trail - and it was a goodie! The Triple Berry Sour packed a good punch and my partner loved her Rose Lager. Tables were ginormous - so we shared with someone and still had plenty of room to lay out a board game we brought with us. Honestly, this is a great spot to just hangout + drink - we didn't try the food, but looks like you can order from a little automated kiosk in the back to make it easy! Plenty of indoor seating with an accessible ramp and a few tables on the patio if the weather was better. Appreciated the bartenders recommendations on what to try as a first-timer. Overall great experience and one you must try if doing the trail! (Or just generally perusing the Scott's Addition brewery scene of course :))“

“Great visit! I came for happy hour with some colleagues. The happy hour menu has some great deals. We got fries for eh while table. I ordered beef & chicken empanadas and the karaoke kool aid. Good drinks & great service. Got busy towards end for jazz night and our server for a little overwhelmed, but was still sweet and friendly! As for the vibe, I love all the photos around the place. There's a little stage on the side, not just for jazz night but apparently they hold events almost every night. Once it started getting dark out, it seemed more like an intimate jazz club with low, blue lights and table side lights & candles. Will definitely have to come back and try other items on the menu, it all sounded so good.“

“Pretty cool local spot. Was definitely a good bar burger. I don't know that it's a gourmet burger and I would definitely say if I'm three beers in I'm really loving that burger. I also went on a stand-up comedy night. Well they were not very good I appreciated the idea that the bar goes for a local concept. I think if you're looking for a fun night with a few beers and friends and some food, this is the place for you“

Basic City Beer Co. Southside RVA Brewery • $
212 W 6th St, Richmond

“Genuinely some of the best beer in Richmond. The competition is high in the city, but Basic manages to create a great atmosphere, while serving a wide array of great drinks. Great food, great drinks, with reasonable prices. We’re always happy to see friendly staff when we stop in for a beer and a pizza. This is a sleeper hit in the Manchester area that deserves all the love!“

Ardent Craft Ales Brewery • $
3200 W Leigh St, Richmond

“Ardent is my favorite brewery in Virginia. I love Pilsners and lagers and Ardent brews some of the best. I feel like most breweries concentrate on IPAs but Ardent provides a nice mix of all, so all types of beer drinkers should be satisfied. It's a great space to hangout whether you are inside or outside, there's plenty of seating options. All the staff is friendly and attentive, it must be a great working environment as a lot of the staff have been there for many years. There's plenty of food options as well as Ardent has a nice menu of sandwiches, salads and appetizers. Also within the same parking lot you have Eazzy Burger and ZZQ BBQ which are top notch! You can pickup beer to go and they also provide delivery options as well.Visit the Barrel Room around the corner for some of their beers while watching comedy or singing along with karaoke night.Fun, food and great beers. What more can you ask for?“

“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.“

“Fantastic place! The glitter Barbie beer was such a cute touch. We were attending the Burlesque Right Meow show and we had the best time. The bartender is a Phish-head and the playlist was a super fun Dirty Dozen Brass Band mix. Their branded merch is also so cute. I bought two stickers.“

“Dinner with a friend at The Savory Grain. Early reservations for two and were seated immediately. It had been a long time since I had been out so we really wanted to talk over drinks before ordering so I checked with our waitress that this was ok. We did not want to tie up her table if a turnover was needed. She encouraged us to relax and go at our own pace and asked us to let her know when we were ready to order since she did not want to keep interrupting us. A couple of happy hour beers in we ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer, shrimp and grits entree, and the meatloaf entree. The beer was nice and cold, the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer arrived long enough before the entree for us to enjoy it. The entrees were generous enough that we both brought home leftovers and mine became my husband’s dinner. I could not have asked for a nicer evening out.“

The environment is so interesting, combining that feeling of hole in the wall and family restaurant; being there always feels like I'm part of a special secret. I love it and I hope it's open forever.Kid-friendliness: The staff go above and beyond to make it a great experience for the little people. While they don't supply coloring books and things like that, they take special care to include your kids and engage your kids, which is important and special.“

“Overall this is a nice spot for a quick meal. The dinning area has limited seating and parking isn't that great, however I assume most of the patrons are people from the community. My friends and I all had a different style of Pizza. They seem to run out of the Grandma style crust very fast. I'd recommend if you're looking for something good for take out.“

“Really great Philly cheesesteaks are the draw at this establishment. The meat on both the regular and chicken steaks was well seasoned and they used good quality buns and cheese. The shoestring fries were okay and the iced tea was good. They did not have a to-go cup for my leftover tea and we had to ask for silverware and drink refills but the service was fast and friendly.“

I get that it's busy on Tuesday but these new changes are aggravating and mostly annoying. The staff are great and provide excellent service. Hopefully they revert back.“
