I was invited here to try the pasta however, I definitely stayed for the people and the ambience. I…read morewas a little skeptical at first eating pasta and seafood from a bar rather it has "beach" in the name or not. I am happy, however that I was persuaded to take a chance. The Pasta was absolutely mouthwatering, and the portion size was not only filling but gave me enough for another meal. While I sat and ate by myself I wasn't alone for long. The place was filled with many friendly regulars and workers. I enjoyed the conversation and even stayed for a few drinks. In the back there is a game room that has basketball, pool, darts, and corn hole. Throughout the inside there are many tv scattered around. In one area you will find a collection of tv and about 6 couches. One thing I also thinks deserves mentioning is that they have two women's bathrooms. I have never had to wait which I feel is a common problem in bars for women.

This was my first time at River City Roll, and it has gone on the list of things to do when I am in…read morethe Richmond area. I will honestly even make the trip up just to come hang out at River City. When you walk inside you have a hostess stand where someone is waiting the help you out. Everyone that we had contact with employee wise were great. Everyone was helpful, kind, and professional We ate first while we waited for our lanes to be open. There is absolutely no complaint about the food here. Everything was great. I had a BLT sandwich. It was jam packed with crispy bacon that I asked for, lettuce, tomato, mayo sandwiched between 2 thick slices of bread. The pizzas looked delicious. They are made in a fire pizza oven. All of the food came out piping hot. Out waitress was great. She was attentive and made sure everything came out, and our drinks were always filled. The waffles were a perfect sweetness, and had a good amount of berries and paired with syrup that I think was maple syrup. My friends, and husband raved about their drink with alcohol. So kudos to the bartenders. The dry rub wings had a great crispy to them and they did not lack seasoning. Lastly, get the cheddar biscuits. They are made fresh, and had great flavor. They had scoop of butter, grape and strawberry jelly. When it came time for bowling. Our bill and drinks were transferred over to the alley tab. Our shoes were waiting for us at the lanes. Bowling was a breeze, and navigating the computer system to keep score was easy. The seating in the alleys were leather couches, and a table to have food at. There was a waitress walking around getting anything we needs, like food, drinks or problems that needed to be solved. Bathrooms were clean and amusing with signage. It made me giggle. The supplies were well stocked. The alleys and property inside and out were very clean. The surrounding area seems to be making a change, but it is still questionable in some areas, and there is a lot of construction nearby. I always felt safe though. There was a misunderstanding with the reservation process and turns out we never had a reservation. Either way Ben stepped up and just made things right. He was great. He took care of us. Customer service is over 5 stars!

Needless to say, his schedule got switched and there was no karaoke, but instead a disco night. We stayed anyway and got a few dances in with what appeared to be regulars, and it was a decent time. Everyone was nice and welcoming. Older crowd (50s+). We didn't eat anything, so I can't speak to the food. Is it in desperate need of a renovation? Yes. Keep your mind open, and you might enjoy yourself on one of their themed nights.

The neon lights, ambiance, and overall vibe inside are so good. I went with friends on a night they had a live band, and that was definitely the highlight. It's such a cool spot to discover up and coming Richmond artists in a really fun and intimate setting. Even when it started sprinkling outside, we stayed and still had the best time. The beef sliders were great, the service was super friendly, and both the indoor and outdoor seating have their own vibe. Definitely excited to come back this summer.

It is very much a neighborhood dive bar so I would set your expectations for atmosphere/service/prices from that standpoint. It seemed like there were a lot of regulars. They have bar seating, high tops, and tables. They have karaoke every weeknight and live music during weekends. The kitchen is run by an older Korean lady so be patient and give some grace. They have Korean food and normal American bar food. She makes the Korean food from scratch. I really enjoyed my bulgogi and Korean wings. If I return, I'd try calling to get my order in earlier so I don't have to wait as long.

My friend recommended we hang out here before another event we were going to so we stopped by. Street parking only so you're dependent on the luck of the draw there. The cashier had a rough time getting the computer to work to register our cards for the draft beer wall, though it did finally relent and she was nice. I was trying to figure out their hours since they aren't on their website or Instagram, and Google and Apple Maps say different things. Who knows? I liked their beer options, bunch of domestics along with some unique drafts and (important to me) dark beers. I had a port city porter and a Deschute Black Butte that was pretty good. Prices are what you expect from Scott's Addition, though if you want to keep it cheap they have affordable domestics for you. For anyone who went to Slingshot and liked it, you're in luck: this place is basically the exact same. Same duckpin bowling, same handful of basic arcade games, same seating. It's a good place for a date or hangout, though given the design it can get loud quickly, which it most definitely would during the live music they frequently host here. All things considered, with Circuit gone, if you absolutely need a distraction at your bar, Scotty's will provide. It has a decent beer wall and some outside seating, though I wonder how it will differentiate itself among its many peers in this area when Slingshot couldn't hack it. Overall: 3.0 stars --- Pros: - Nice staff. - Decent beer selection, with affordable domestics. Cons: - Craft beers at what you might expect to pay these days, I.e. pricy. - Games are present but basic. - Gets loud quickly due to layout.

Located still within the fan district, again because of the Richmond laws every bar has to sell food so there's a lot of tables. It's quite small inside, but we managed to get three seats at the bar. The prices here are really insane. It was three dollars for Miller high life's! The bartenders were really attractive and we had a really good time sitting and drinking at the bar. I will say it is very tight in there so don't expect to be able to move around a lot. My favorite quote from the bartender was after we asked if they had any specials he said none, then I saw him making a martini so then I asked him that's not a special? To his response being: a martini standard, not a special. I would for sure go back
