3 Monkeys Bar and Grill

2525 W Main St, Richmond, VA 23220

User Rating:  Rating: 4 / 5   (Rate It)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Formerly 2525, this Fan eatery/bar has capitalized on its makeover and become a hot spot in the Richmond bar and restaurant scene. Its heated patio, chic yet affordable food, and excellent bar staff and selections have kept the crowds coming.

Buddy's

325 N Robinson St, Richmond, VA 23220

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Five times longer than it is wide, if you're looking to "press flesh" with the people....welcome to Buddy's. Definitely one of the hottest watering holes for the under 30 crowd in the Fan, Buddy's has good drink, good food (earlier in the night) and is always a happening time. Be prepared for a 15 minute wait at least on weekend nights, but sometimes the line outside is the best place to meet people.

Byrd Theatre

2908 W Cary St, Richmond, VA 23221

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

This movie theatre still has its original 1930 decor intact! It also houses one of the few working Wurlitzer organs, and an organist plays every Saturday night before the 7:15 & 9:30 shows. It's worth going just to hear the organ play. They also run fairly recent popular flicks, and you can't beat the price. Also a named historic landmark theatre. A must-go-to if you are visiting Richmond!

Mars Bar

115 N 18th St, Richmond, VA 23223

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

This gritty bar is still delightfully trapped in the '80s, as evidenced by the nightly music selections. Friendly, fast-paced bartenders keep the drinks coming and the atmosphere relaxed. Rock out or kick back, this is a place to find a taste of "The Bottom".

McCormack's Irish Pub

12 N 18th St, Richmond, VA 23223

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

A dive bar par exellance. Great beer, great music, and great vibe. If you can't be yourself here then you shouldn't be in the Bottom. This bar has a gritty, salty feel to it that can't be manufactured, it just exists.
