The staff and bartenders were all really nice, and the drinks were good. I also ordered fries while I was there and enjoyed them. As the night went on, the vibe kind of shifted for me. It started getting a little chaotic and more nightclub energy than I personally prefer. There was an incident involving an overly intoxicated guest that security and EMS had to handle, and it honestly changed the atmosphere toward the end of the night. One thing I also found a little strange was that some of the shots were served in small sauce/to-go cups instead of actual shot glasses. Overall, I'd probably come back during a more relaxed night or for happy hour because the service, drinks, and space itself were good. I just realized staying later into the night wasn't really my vibe, so I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

From the outside, the building has this classic warehouse vibe that fits right in with the historic feel of the area. There's a big sign so you can't really miss it, and the overall look is super inviting if you're into that old-school industrial style. When you up to the entrance, you'll go up the stairs to find the staff checking your tickets. Once you're inside, the place opens up into a big, open floor plan with a solid mix of standing room and a few spots to sit along the wall. The layout works well for concerts, the sightlines are good, and everything feels close to the stage even if you're not right up front. The inside keeps that warehouse feel going. It's exposed brick, high ceilings, just a bit gritty in a cool way. The bar is off to the side and stretches pretty long, so grabbing a drink was quick! Bartenders were friendly and the drink selection covers the basics. Nothing wild, but you'll find everything you need for a good night out. I went to see Jutes for the first time, and it was such an awesome show. The energy in the room was electric, and the sound quality was surprisingly clear for a venue this size. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and you could feel the crowd's excitement the whole set! This was definitely a solid spot for live music in Richmond. I love a small concert venue, and would definitely go back for another concert!

There's a full-bar, but they didn't have any non-alcoholic beer options, only sodas and a couple of juices. I was upstairs, but they do have a downstairs section of their venue. I will be going back.

Apparently the capacity is 500 so be prepared to be close to others if your show is sold out! Showed up early prior to doors opening to ensure we got a good spot which is a must especially if you'd like to be close to the stage. The staff was really friendly and set up barricades by the door which helped corral the line. I loved that they had a metal detector set up and a security check point. I felt very safe and comfortable the whole time. I will say be prepared to stand for an extended period especially if you show up early. There is little to no seating available and as show time nears it is practically standing room only. So wear comfy shoes! Overall it's a nice venue and I am glad we have it as an option here in Richmond!

The lighting sets the mood with "red light special" vibes, and the music leans toward smooth, grown-and-sexy R&B. Even before the DJ arrived later in the evening, the atmosphere was already lively and enjoyable. The service was great as well. The margarita flight was both delicious and strong--definitely a highlight. For food, we started with the crab dip, which was excellent. I ordered the lamb, and my husband had the Fromien with chicken; everything was flavorful and well-prepared. I had such a great time, and to top it off, they have the cutest photo booth right by the exit. I already know this will be my go-to spot for my next girls' night!

Met up with a friend for drinks and appetizers after work while in Richmond for a work trip…read more The wait staff was friendly. The atmosphere seems to be aiming for a dark moody lounge feel which they may pull off better when it's dark out. I do have to give credit for the fun artwork hanging by the bathroom. The male bartender was wearing a black button down shirt, black dress pants, and what looked like the inside vest of a tuxedo from prom in 2008. I don't usually comment on outfits but in this case the waitstaff outfits seemed to be trying too hard to make the place something it wasn't. The food was decent bar food. The menu gave an Asian/ soul food fusion vibe. The crab dip was not my favorite, too much cheese on top and an almost fishy taste/smell. The wings were pretty good, and my drinks were good. My friend had the crab mac and cheese. She said it was pretty good but could have used more seasoning. They do have a special priced happy hour menu with pretty good prices. My friend was the one who recommended this place, she said they do brunches so she wanted to check it out.

For their arcade, you have to use a card that you buy credits on to. In our opinion, the games were a little expensive. I think it's more directed towards parents who want to drink and offload their kids in this area, but for those of us already spending a good amount on drinks, the price on the games kinda sucks. We're used to a cover for all you can play or something a little more affordable. They do have a lot of great, newer games. It definitely kept us entertained for a while. They also had a great variety. It was pretty empty when we got there a little after lunch, but by 4pm or so it started raining and they were PACKED. The drinks were good, nothing special. A couple draft cocktails that tasted like you would expect. Some good beer options. It's a great spot in the area, huge bar area that can fit a lot of people and a really great patio.

My friends and I had an awesome time! It was a large reason that when another Broadway Rave was scheduled, that my friends and I hopped on the opportunity! This time, it started super late due to technological issues and the DJ apparently was only hired a few hours prior to the start of the dance party. Due to that, he seemed to just play a Spotify playlist rather than allowing us to suggest songs and cater the experience to our specific crowd. The ticket costs weren't too high so I'd go again but I hope that the experience feels more organized.

So far I've only been able to try the wings- they were on a limited menu during my visit since it was within an hour of closing, but I'm excited to go back. The wings are oven baked, which makes them really tender but different than what you would get at most restaurants. I tried the buffalo gold sauce and the honey bbq. Both were good, but The buffalo was not similar to traditional buffalo sauce since it is mixed with a sweet sauce. Next time I will try the Cajun buffalo. The music is really good and the drinks are strong. I really loved the Blue Margarita, but I have to say that we hated the tiki sunrise drink. Overall we had a nice time for our short visit and will definitely be back!
