Brought my cute self on up to the door, wave a wand check, ok . Admission and parking was free. . Nice security, walking through doors now, . THEN OMG. It was a party for the DJ. WOW!!!! Not what I was expecting. They had an open, TOP shelf. The food was amazing. Grilled chicken, meatballs, fried chicken, green beans, macaroni, salads. It was great. AND, YES I ate and had a couple of drinks too! The crowd was very local. Seating are those long church tables. Never saw a wait staff. To be honest, they were there, but couldn't tell. Dress code was whatever you go on! . The music was good. I stayed for only a couple hours and had to go!!!!! Don't expect a nice place, this place put me in the mind of a old pool room, not a club. The crowd is a bit rough around the edges , back, center, you name itnot a place for grownups. Even though the DJ had his 50th, the crowd was very young.....not for me. I see how trouble can break out, in a place like that.....ok, I warned you. Walk up, you'll see the warning signs hanging NOPE not for me. Richmond? Where's the grown folk club at?

I have been to The National numerous times over the years. It is a decent mid-sized venue that…read moregets some decent acts. But I am not comfortable there becuase of the audience space. When it is set up as standing room, as it is for most events, it is too crowded and "atmospheric" on the floor when everyone has been availing themselves of the bar's wares. When I was younger I would not have minded as much, but now standing for an hour or three is not my thing. BUT when they set the hall up with seating, as they did for Patton Oswalt's show last night, you have to deal with very cheap plastic folding chairs that put pressure in the wrong places and strain to hold folks of any above average size. I know, it's hard to please some people. Accoustically the hall is good. Bathrooms are cleanish. Ticketing was easy. Parking is a challenge.

By the end of the night, we were both pretty tired and a little sore from standing and walking around. On a whim, we decided to stop by a nearby SVIP foot massage parlor, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the therapists were super professional. After a relaxing full-body massage, all the tension just melted away. We left feeling completely refreshed, loose, and happy. Such a great way to end the night.

I got several strong drinks, hot & crispy fried chicken and a 2 step. There are 2 sides to this club, 30 and under/ 30 and older. Both sides have different types of music catering to each crowd. Be forewarned, they do have a suspect "dress code/entry policy" that is enforced at whim.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. This is easily one of the most poorly run…read moreestablishments I've visited. The happy hour setup makes no sense. Even after waiting in line, customers are only allowed one drink at a time and then must get back in line again. Meanwhile, there was only one person working the bar, creating long waits for everyone. The food situation was even worse. I waited approximately an hour and a half for food after already standing in line to place my order. Customers are given a ticket that must be turned in to receive their food, but if the ticket is misplaced by staff or lost, you're essentially out of luck. There has to be a better system than that in 2026. The customer service was terrible. The kitchen staff was rude, and overall the employees treated paying customers as if they were inconveniencing them rather than supporting the business. It felt like basic courtesy and professionalism were completely absent. I also found it ridiculous that people were standing in long lines waiting for food inside what is supposed to be a nightlife venue. On top of that, the place is cash only, which feels outdated and unnecessary in 2026. The only reason this place seems to stay popular is because people like the atmosphere enough to tolerate the poor service and inefficient policies. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy myself at all. As someone visiting from out of state, this was one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I've had at an establishment. I will not be returning and would not recommend it to anyone who expects decent customer service and a well organized operation.

They make dancing fun for any level. My first interaction with them was a free tango class at a PR event. Their dance and teaching chemistry left me in awe. I knew I wanted to take classes with them at some point. Fast forward to end of 2025. My fiancé (who "does not dance") fell in love with tango after a free trial. I adore dancing so was super excited he was interested. We ended up signing up for their Super Beginner Easy Start Course Tango class that took it as a slow pace for non-dancers. This was the perfect intro. We then decided to sign up for their monthly tango membership where we take their Level 100 classes. At this time, they have Level 100 classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7pm. After class they do a really cool technique class called Tango Power Start. This place is more than a dance studio, it's a community. They offer milongas too (an Argentine social dance event). My fiancé and I are the type of people who like being able to walk or bus to a place, we live in the city and this is in Midlothian. We love this studio so much that the drive is worth it for us. I highly recommend taking tango classes here. You'll learn so much and have lots of fun in the process.

Within an hour you'll not only find yourself lost in the lesson and having fun, but you'll feel entirely confident in your ability to pick it up and... you'll like be hooked. The space is very nice. A private glass-walled studio in a cool part of town, near the Village of Midlothian. There's also nearly endless parking. I can't say enough about the kind and genuine nature of the instructors and their ability to share their world with you as a student.
