27 Best Wine Bars in Richmond

“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.“

“I love the atmosphere, food and drinks. I know if I want live entertainment, Harlym Bluez will have something going in each night thy are open….be it, be it karaoke, live band, line dancing, game night whatever…the owners and the staff strive for excellence, and want you to bring any issue you have to their attention….I LOVE IT!!! I will continue going back and introducing it to my friends!!“

“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.“

“Arthur was so welcoming and, in fact, that is what I would say about the whole atmosphere at this neighborhood wine bar. Oh and, yes, the wine was great too and did not break the bank! The fact that jazz artist, Marcus Tenney will be back to entertain really sealed the deal! ❤️🎶🥂“

“I do want to give a shout out to the manager Erin she was excellent very customer friendly and our lunch was excellent“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“My family and friends were there celebrating a graduation around 20 people We were so satisfied with the professionalism, kindness, flexibility and most of all the deliciously prepared food The the owner and staff meet all our needs 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“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.“

“I made a reservation for 6:30 on a Friday not. I was able to get parking right outside the restaurant. Then my mom got the prime rib medium & I ordered the pork bao buns. We both got two different old fashioned. When I tell you everything was spectacular it was amazing. From the service to the quality of the meats. I will be coming back again and again!“

“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.“

“We've been coming here for years and have always received good food and great service. They also tend to add a touch of class to everything that makes them shine a bit more than comparable places, like the cinnamon buns they serve at brunch and the garlic and oil bread served with lunch and dinner.“
