    Questionable tequila
    Kristina C.

    We were excited to visit again. Our first visit was great, that was about 6 months ago. This visit was less than average. We were told to sit wherever we wanted. That would have been fine but the tables were dirty. I found one that was clean enough to pass and we sat down. We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended. It would have been nice for the server to check in to see if we wanted anything from the happy hour specials. Nope, she came by after 12 minutes. The margarita was meh. The tequila presence was questionable. We asked the server which burger she would recommend, we were informed she never ate one so don't ask her. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. We were brought a packet of very flimsy plastic ware with no explanation as to why. The packet had one small napkin and we had to ask for more. The portions were also very small considering our first visit. Very disappointing considering the first visit.

    I definitely do not recommend this restaurant. I have been there twice, and the bartenders have no clue about the beer or liquor they offer. I had to point out the bourbon because they had no idea what I was talking about. I also asked about different beers, and he had no idea what to recommend. The cheese curds were very greasy and served with bottled ranch dressing. Save your money!!

    I've been here quite a few times since moving to the area, and would recommend it to anyone looking to try out a friendly sports bar with a ton of beers on tap! There's many drink and food specials throughout the week, as well as trivia and karaoke. The only downsides of this place is that it's never usually busy, would love to see it packed full of people! The other thing is that even during happy hour, I am regularly charged full price for beers. This has happened on numerous occasions in the last few months, which is not a good look for people looking to come during happy hour!

    The wings were nice and crispy with a flavorful bbq sauce. The fish tacos were pretty bland so I would not get those again. As far as drinks, I got the margarita and enjoyed the flavors. The service was pretty slow, but they looked a little understaffed. Overall, it's a good spot!

    I don't love this place, which is a shame since they are my neighbor, and I was hyped for months ahead of their opening this past February. I've been a handful of times now and haven't been impressed with the food, drinks, service, or atmosphere. I've sat at tables twice and at the bar twice. Service was only decent the one time I sat at the bar when it wasn't moderately busy. Otherwise, it seems pretty scattered. They don't have a host, so it's a seat-yourself type of place, which isn't always ideal when, as I was told by a server recently, they didn't see me sit down (at a table that shouldn't have been considered hidden). I will say they do have an impressive selection of draft beers and cans with a wide range of styles; that will keep me going back, I'm sure. However, I do hope they are properly cleaning their lines. A friend and I split a flight last weekend, and one beer that had amazing Untappd reviews in a style we both generally love was nothing short of foul....and it came with THREE! fruit fly floaters. We left it behind. In terms of food, I'm just not a fan. It all feels like frozen, Restaurant-Depot esque bland bar food. I've had the cheese curds, the nachos, the burger, and the pretzel, and wasn't impressed with any of them. I am open to suggestions for a better choice. It is a bar, and as such, the noise level can be deafening depending on how many people are there. They do have outdoor seating, which seems nice. I do hope they improve with time.

    Stopped in just to have a beer and check out the vibe. It was kind of crowded and loud but there were a few seats at the bar. I'm very impressed with the amount of beers they have on tap along with many bottles of beer. During our time at the bar we interacted with 3 different members of staff and all were very friendly. There are many TVs so it would be a great place to watch some sporting events. I'm a NY Yankee fan and MLB.tv blacks out the Baltimore games so I found a place to watch some baseball. The menu looks to be mainly bar food but that's basically what this is. The patios would be a good option too since they have a few outdoor TVs. If you're a beer drinker and enjoy watching sports this is a great place to hang out.

    Stopped in for a quick drink just to check it out. Team at the bar were super friendly, fast and clearly busy taking care of customers and keeping the bar clean. They checked us a few times! Really big beer menu, nice cocktail menu, wine selection is average....it's a beer bar so that's ok Menu looks nice, mainly sports bar type snacks and meals, nothing fancy/special. Plates we saw go by looked good and nice size portion. There are quite a few tvs.....bonus for game watching! Tvs are inside and outside Indoor/outdoor bar is pretty cool. It's LOUD .... which is to be expected from a sports bar, just want to call it out as it's hard to have a conversation. Most of the tables are for 4 to 8 people and they are pretty close together. +1 Service +.5 Food selection +1 Presentation + .5. Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    Food and drinks were great! We ordered the shrimp basket with sweet potatoes fries and everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Taking off one star solely due to the fact the women's restroom was absolutely gross. They're having a plumbing issue but didn't have signs up or anything. Besides that, I would come back!

Hector is the coolest, hands down--great energy, great personality, the kind of person who makes you want to come back. Oh and did I mention you can get pizza by the slice! The variety is mind blowing and they always have vegan options!!!!! I'm a thin-slice person. I need the right ratio of crust to sauce to toppings, and Zorch nails it every time. Plus, no flop! The cheese slice is a classic and was my favorite... until I discovered The Upside Down. Listen, when I bite into that slice, I literally close my eyes. I see a lot of people say it's greasy. For this one, grease me down baby. The flavor does everything it needs to do. Layered, bold, and honestly addictive. After that slice, I don't even want a regular one anymore. Next up on my list: The Grandma. And for context, I've had Angelo's in Philly. Respectfully? It doesn't compare. Sorry to all the other grandmothers out there lol. One note though-it's heavy on the garlic, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pivot. If it is your thing? Strap in. It's been a few years since I've been able to say I found a legit pizza spot in RVA. A spot that I bring others to often! I'm happy to say I've found my pizza home. Much love to the Zorch crew.

Upon entering we were greeted and the host walked us down to the lower level. We had six tables reserved. The bartender came over immediately and took our drink orders and small plate orders. We didn't want any hookah but it was offered. We later ordered a pizza as well later on. Our food was better than expected. The prawns were flavorful, the meatballs weren't warm enough but had some spice to it and were larger than expected. The Caesar salad had kale and red onion in it which was different. We enjoyed the food and the vibe on the lower level was better. The pizza could use more sauce and the cheese had a nice pull to it. The meat on the pizza didn't taste frozen at all. We had to ask for refills a few times, but the server did a good job considering she had at least 20 people to serve.Overall, better this time around.

The New Yorker was a cheese pizza while The Wire was a Crab Pizza with pesto sauce. I didn't get a picture but the cheese pull was insane on both! The drinks were good as well. I had the "Pornstar Martini" while my cousin had the "Velvet Notes" I love how the restaurant has 3 different parts. The right side was for the conservatives, the left was for the not so conservatives and the basement was where the party and hookah was at. The only downside of this place, was the service. It was sooo slow! Although, our bartender "Devin" made some amazing drinks!
