Great neighborhood hangout for fun, bar food, full bar (except they don't always have Chardonnay or other wines), karaoke and comedy on some nights. You can play pool, meet up with friends or make some new ones without feeling out of place. Conveniently located on Colonial Heights' main drag--The Boulevard. Free parking and open late. read more

I was really impressed with Benny's Tavern. Looks like a dive bar and kinda is but its a clean dive bar. Looks to have a good group of regular customers with various poker and music nights. Seems like a terrific place for locals and a great little sportsbar if in the area. Has pool tables as well. I recommend. read more

Was good and had no issues except doesn't stay open too late. Drinks are pricey and they could invest more in upgrades read more

We did a stop over in Colonial Heights and this was the only place open at 8:30 pm. We were a little bit apprehensive walking in the tavern. We ended up having a very good meal. People were very friendly. Eric was our bartender/server and he was excellent. Five stars for food and service and three stars for ambiance. read more

Food was decent, service kinda slow but the real kicker was the bill, 7 dollars for a beer, 15 for a chicken Caesar wrap and then an additional $4.19 charge for "service charge" WTF ?? A service charge, nope never again. Will not be going back and can't recommend. Service charge my ass. read more

Debbie is implausibly rude and seemingly racist. She told my friend that he didn't have any money and that he was drunk. He was trying to get change to play pool. We may have been talking loudly, but who doesn't when they're at the bar. Chose another place to spend your money. She honestly shouldn't be employed here. read more

I've never experienced racism until I came here. Debbie profile me and told me I had to have money after I handed her my American Express. I came back with cash and she refused to serve me. She then proceeded to call the police on me Because she didn't want me in "her" establishment. Save your time, energy, and money. read more

Friendly enough people, decent food, terrible bartenders. Hole in the wall good for a few beers and some pool, but don't expect good service. read more

I have always found Bennys to pleasant place. I have been going there on and off since 2017. There's been some iffy times but, My last visit 2/2022 wasn't pleasant at all. I rated it 2 stars because it depends who's bartending rather or not you're going to have a good time. And that puts the place on the bottom of the list to choose from. I don't know the lady's name; unfortunately the only way I can describe her is that she was a Caucasian female, had to be 60 plus, she seemed elderly. I sat at the bar, card in hand, waiting for 20mins plus for my order to be taken. (She kept serving the people to the left and right of me) When I did ask her can I have my order taken. (Even though I was irritated, I said it calmly) She said "I'm coming." in a nasty way like I was irritating her and turned her face up in disgust. I felt indifferent after that. She then came over and asked my sister and I for ID and my sister didn't have her ID. Now, my sister got upset and told the bartender she being a racist "B" and she will take her money elsewhere. The bartender's response was disrespectful, she called my sister all kinds of names; from her gutt; with a passion, as she was walking away and I was just astonished. Like, Tell her how you really feel. I know she called her a "B" but you're the bartender, you should know how to ignore things like that when you've done no wrong. But she obvious was holding some HATE in and waited to release it when she could. Now if my sister had got upset and turned around it would've been a bigger scene. read more

Had a blast out here doing karaoke! The bartenders are very polite and beautiful. One even sings pretty good! Totally recommend if you and a few friends are looking to go have a great night! read more

very dishonest, yes the extra 20percent charge is above your head not in clear view, take off the tip on bill because clearly you get that on the 20percent , very dishonest read more

Under renovation with new paint all new kitchen and new floors coming soon. The BBQ here is on point with brisket and pulled pork sliders, tacos, nachos and some of the best burgers ever. Don't pass on the onion rings which are to die for. Karaoke every night. Poker Monday Thursday Saturday Sunday. Trivia Friday and live band specials. Great diverse crowd. read more

If you like being racially profiled this is your place. Wouldn't be let in, got harassed, the security guards tried to search my car, for what? Honestly, the unprofessionalism and the hostile environment was awful. Would give zero stars read more

This place asks for 5 dollar cover charge to just walk in the door. I would avoid it at all costs.

I like Benny's Tavern....its not all jazzed up ...but its a nice little place to go to throw some drinks at with friends.... read more

Amanda, Dave, David, and Vanessa are awesome! If you love karaoke, they have it every night. Lol. We will continue to come back because of the awesome service! Love you guys! read more

This was my first bar after reporting into Fort Lee. Good experience. There are 3 pool tables and karaoke was pretty decent. Downside was very Smokey bar and shots were pricy read more

Been here a few times and I've always felt like the regulars where staring at me. Very dark, gloomy atmosphere! Overpriced, I want to be able to walk in with smiles! read more

Amanda is the tits! David wears Star Wars shirts and I'm obsessed. I love the environment and the karaoke! Keep doin what you're doin! Hot Vanessa is Hot read more

Great place to go if you want to feel like an outsider. Very local so if your not from the area you just don't belong. Looked like a great place to buy drugs. My two trips to the bathroom had people using each time. It also is hell leaving being cops sit across the street watching. read more

Decent food and nice people behind the bar aren't enough to make me want to come back. The constant haze of cigarette smoke and the horrible bathroom (singular) are more than enough to keep me away. read more

I love this place! The staff is great, the bar food is good, the do trivia, poker, and karaoke nights! They have pool, darts, and some games. Everything's pretty cheap, too, I can have a fun night without going broke. Plus, I can smoke here without having to be ushered to some b.s. smoke area far, far away. read more

Some stupid fucking asshole stole my skateboard and my Jack Daniels out of my car. The kind of shit that makes me want to bludgeon someone with my fist until 1. They can no longer breath because they are drowning in a pool of their own blood or 2. My hands are soo broken and raw that I can see bone and my friends are throwing up in disgust after seeing the carnage. Will definitely go back to this place with the sole intention of finding this soul less bastard. read more

New menu is awesome. Karaoke every day but Saturday. Poker Thursday's and Sunday's. Best happy hour in town. Did I mention the food is awesome? I would highly recommend paying a visit. read more

We moved to the area last year and have been looking for a cool spot to get our trivia fix where people don't literally just Google all the answers (so annoying). We got that and much more at Benny's! Ok, yes, the place is smoky inside -- c'est la vie, so let's put that aside for a sec. We're the kinda worst "regulars" ever... we show up once a week for trivia with their awesome hosts, have a couple of drinks, and then peace out due to early morning work... but still these guys remember us every week, and we've only been coming for a month or so. Laid-back spot with on-point music and friendly real humans inside. The owner hangs out and makes a point to know you if you show up on any mildly regular basis. If you're not a stuffy/unfriendly person, you should check it out. Have fun and wash your clothes when you get home, it's really not that bad! (We're non-smokers - we really don't mind it.) Also - Benny's will get you a free ride home if you're too toasted, so no need to worry if there are or aren't cops hanging out on the Boulevard. Don't drink and drive ever! read more

LOVE this place, they offer so much.. trivia, poker, karaoke, music, pool, darts and so much more. its always a good time, the bartenders are great, and the food is amazing! I highly recommend bennys tavern. read more

Benny's is one of those rock bars that treats customers fair....when I run a tab I never have to worry about being charged "a little extra" like many other bars. The staff is top notch and they usually have the best live bands. Great staff, great prices and great music....what more could you ask for!! read more
