A true Richmond dive bar that serves decent home made food and nominally p iced drinks. Outside seating is available.

We went here for lunch and had the best burgers I’ve had in a while. We met the gentleman that cooked our burgers his name is Tristan and can’t tell you how good they tasted. They use real fresh hamburger and make their own patties they are not the normal frozen patties you get in other restaurants. In the burgers come in 5 ounce and 8 ounce patties.They have two sections to sit you can sit in the outdoor section which is covered or you can sit on the inside where the bar is and that’s a smoking area. Everyone is very friendly and the food is great I recommend you stop by and give them a try.

Nice people great staff, but I am a non smoker and it was very smokey. They do have a non smoking area which is outside the bar no one was in there so didn't go out there. Herd they have great $5 lunch specials and happy hour is 50 cents less then regular time.

Whaaaat! My friend took me one time and I’ve been a few times every since. It’s a lokey spot, very chilled. You can go on a weekday and still have a great time and the food is A1.

I went for a late night meal and wholeheartedly enjoy my meal. The food was fine, but the atmosphere and vibe topped it off. I spoke to some regulars there and the lady behind the bar took very good care of us!

Reuben was awesome! Fries were fresh and the sweet tea was good, everytime i emptied my drink the waitress refilled it immediately and was very friendly, will be eating here again!

First time here. Stopped for breakfast. It’s a typical local bar, which I love Eggs benedict was ok. The ham was like lunch meat. The bartender was super friendly. Grits were amazing. Bloody mary was good.
The smoking was an adjustment for me, but I sat by the door so it wasn’t bad.
While I was here, it was a little girl’s birthday. The entire bar went to the patio to sing her happy birthday. ❤️

Food was good. You actually can smoke in the restaurant and bar! The no smoking section is a separate part out front of the restaurant. Some shady characters hang out there. But I will be back!

Besides the smoke, crazy weirdo men hitting on me I love this place. A chill, laid back environment that I can just listen to all type of music & just sit to have a drink. Carrie is always my waitress & she is awesome! Dorian the security guard is always down for conversation too.

Favorite bar in RVA. The food is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. I reccomend the Ribeye steak, lobster bisque, tater tots and mac and cheese. Very casual environment. Prices are very affordable and the staff are pros! Smoking friendly as well. I love this place.
