Vibe was metal, artsy, yummy, and eclectic đđ¤đ˝đ¤đĽ°. Drinks were good and made fast. We got the white trash fries and mains. Kids are allowed but must be accompanied by adults. Good luck finding parking đŹ 10/10 would return

Recently voted 3rd best dive bar in RVA, so there are at least 2 bars in Richmond that are worse than this one! Awesome drinks, greasy deliciousness burgers and fries, and all hail GWAR!

What a great experience. Long time fan of GWAR and didn't realise they had a bar until we arrived in Richmond.
The bar is everything you'd expect and want from a place run by GWAR.
Only reason it's getting a 4 and not 5 star is the beer is pretty basic. Don't go expecting anything exciting; I'd love it if they had a better GWAR branded beer.

It was a fun little place. Obviously if you like that type of music it is cool. Very small. Food was good and everyone was friendly.

The place was awesome. My friend was able to get a signature from one of the members, and all of the extraneous costume parts and props were awesome to look at. The food was great too!

Loved the vibe of this bar until near closing. I used to listen to GWAR a lot in the early 2000âs and it was so cool to see this place.
Decor: lots of memorabilia of the band, including props, photos of costumes/shows, masks, etc. make sure you take a good look at the ceiling and walls when youâre there, thereâs so much to see!
Food/drinks: just average bar food with a couple vegan options. Some of the dishes have really cool names.
Service: you order all drinks and food at the corner of the bar. The guy we were ordering from looked like he hated his life, he seemed so over it. It was a bit of a bummer, especially since my friend and I were there to celebrate my bday, but we just brushed it off and sat in our little corner.
I took off 3 stars for service because of the aforementioned experience and also because as my friend and I were leaving, (it was 20 minutes before closing) we got up and like 3-4 employees started shouting at us that we needed to get out. We were already putting on our coats and putting our drinks away when they started shouting at us. There were still probably 15 people in the bar and we had kept to ourselves the entire time, we werenât drunk or loud or rude in any way. Iâm not sure what was up, but it was extremely off putting. Iâve never had this experience in any bar before, even Sticky Rice will let you leave without harassing you unless youâre not leaving at all or being belligerent.
Iâm not sure if it was just an off night, but the vibes were really good up until we started to leave. We had a great time otherwise, so it was really disappointing being shouted at as we clean up after ourselves by putting the food in the trash and put our glasses on the bar counterâŚ
Iâd probably go back again, but I think next time Iâd just have one drink there and move on to another bar after. Also, someone brought their toddler in at some point (probably around 10pm), which was extremely freaking weird. So apparently thatâs allowed.

Super metal vibe inside and out! This place rocks man, I would highly recommend it!
Michelle Johnson
They have delicious vegan options and lots of them. Everything is clearly labeled on their menu - which I love. The cauliflower wings are one of my favorites!

Excellent service, great food, I'm definitely going to have to go back. Very friendly bar tenders

Drinks were good, food was incredible, I pooped here. All around great experience.

Iâm a regular here and used to work here. Loved this place ever since I celebrated my 21st here. Itâs now my second home and first choice to go out to. I feel super safe here, even as someone in the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone thatâs a regular or works here is genuinely amazing when you get to know them, and reviews that say otherwise are most likely people who were rude! đ¤

Kids were playing volleyball at a tournament at the convention center. I had a 2.5 hour gap and wanted to see something unique. Wow, this was a surprise. I arrived right when they opened and had the place to myself. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. Prices were fair and it was clean. Saw families with kids which is fine.
Eric Myers
Great atmosphere, amazing food, and cold tasty beer.
If you're a fan of the band, of course you've got to hit up GWARbar. Even if you're not, go for the food!
Can't wait for my next trip to Richmond to go again!

Awesome spot! Love the vibes. Excellent vegan options!

A must visit for Richmond! I always take friends here when they visit from Kansas City. They are big Gwar fans and love the bar and it's unique decor. It's definitely a fun photo opportunity. The food is great and everyone that works there is pretty rad.
James Hise
What's not to like? They've got a wide variety of food, but that's not why you come here.
The food is food. Sustenance to fuel the real reason you came here.
To be "cool" and experience a solid Richmond institution.
I was transported back to old school Richmond in this palace of Gwar and bar.
The drinks are solid, the service is good. The regulars are known by name. Swing by for a unique experience.
Curtis Felts
If you're a GWAR fan this place is a no-brainer. We drove 4.5 hours to Richmond and stopped in not long after opening, got a table, ordered dinner and drinks at the bar, and spent a few hours just absorbing the atmosphere. The food was really solid, the drinks were all great, and the staff was friendly. It's a dive so it's dark and a little small but it was absolutely worth the stop if for no other reason than its unique atmosphere.

I walked here after the Gwar show at The National as a part of my great Gwar pilgrimage. Food was so good. I think about the deviled eggs every day. The cider on tap was also so good that itâs got me considering moving to RVA. Added bonus: Derks basically watched me eat my food. Fun bar, great food and great service.
