Well, dive bars of the world unite. I really do love finding places like this in America because so many places are very restrictive and you're not allowed to have fun - Daddio's lets ya smoke inside and their music is so loud you have to yell to talk to each other, but you're not here for conversation, you're here to drink and have a good time; shoot some pool and avoid getting a DUI on the way home. This is the kind of dive bar you remember dragging your alcoholic parents out of as a kid If you don't drink alcohol then you can drink Pepsi! My favorite soda, bonus cool points for that. Service is prompt and friendly no complaints there If you're just passing by this might be a bit foreign to you, but if you're a local this is your go to dive bar to get drinks after work or to escape the spouse nagging you at home with a honey - to do list If you get offended or if you've filed a complaint with HR in the last 90 days you might not like it here, but if you can throw back a 6 pack you could stop in and say hi to some friends read more

Daddio's Grille - New menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Food is delicious and well prepared. Service is friendly and courteous. Great place to take a date to play pool or go alone.

I've always liked this place, but I have to wonder why they allow serial harassers of women to hang out there? I was there tonight and there was an individual "singing" Karaoke...you could only call it "singing" if you were feeling very generous...who was being very, very creepy with almost every woman in the place. He was a large, unkempt man who looked to be in his 50s, with a big white streak in his grey hair that reminded me of Peppy Le Pew. You could smell him once you got within 5 or 6 feet of him, he smelled like urine and body odor, and every woman was very clearly put off by him. I realized that I'd seen this guy at other bars, and he's always making unwanted advances toward female patrons. Don't get me wrong, I'll still patronize this place, but they need to do a better job of deciding who or shouldn't be allowed in. read more

I ordered from here only because Deep Run had ran out of food, and just wanted something close on this rainy Saturday night. When I try a new restaurant, I order simple things. My thought process is if you cannot prepare the basic, why waste your money on something that will cost a little more and be disappointed. ORDER: CHICKEN CHEESTEAK SUB w/ ONION RINGS The good: it wwas ready when they said it would be... yeah... that's all.... that's it The bad: the whole dangon meal... the sub was so dry.. I thought it was communion Sunday! Chicken was bland even with the vegetables that was not seasoned! Not a grain of salt, a flake of pepper was used for the making of the sandwich! Poor cheese was trying to hold it together... the onion rings.... nothing to talk about... they were almost burnt... waste of my good money and appetite! read more

The food is really good for a local bar. I always enjoy a place that is no frills, but makes you feel welcome. My daughter had the Caesar salad and I split a pizza with my son. He's a little picky sometimes. But the waitress Ash has to be the coolest person I've met in a while. She catered to the kids like she was part of the fam. The ambiance is definitely local bar. However, they cook steak and cheese like it's a big city spot. There's pool tables and great music. If you're fancy...go anyway and enjoy some live music on a Friday or Saturday. Take your friends. Belly up to the bar or grab a big high top. You'll definitely have a great time. read more

My sisters and I really enjoyed our visit. The karaoke was fantastic. DJ King Richard was very helpful and he has a fantastic voice. He made us feel welcome and at home. He recognized that we liked oldies and gospel and found all the right songs for us. We even sang backup for him on several songs. The food was awesome and service was great. We will definitely be stopping by twice a year on our way to visit family in Delaware. We highly recommend Dadios in Richmond Virginia read more

For a neighborhood bar I give it high marks. Only warning would be for non-smokers they do allow smoking. I'm not taking off stars for this (being a non-smoker) but it is worth noting. Bartender was terrific, Doug. He was very attentive and made sure we were having a good time. Karaoke on Saturday night Sunday ticket on Sunday for nfl Wings etc type sportsbar food. read more

I've known for a long time that Daddio's does karaoke often, but I've never gone until last night. And what a great time! Karaoke Carla is super nice, and has a great voice! She doesn't have a book and no paper/pencils for sign up. Just give her your name, and she'll put you in the rotation. When you go up, tell her what song you want to do. She's got a good library of music, but not everything we'd asked for. The "line" to sing is short, and you will get to sing a lot. Friendly crowd. Great service. Our drinks were never empty. The biggest downside was that karaoke is done in the smoking side of the bar, so we left smelling awful. read more

Hole in the wall bar with decent food. I ordered the wings with sauce on the side. Wings were really bland but with salt/pepper and dipping the chicken in the hot sauce and blue cheese it wasn't to bad. The burger was juicy and flavorful but the fries were extremely bland. We went as soon as they opened and the food took a bit to come out so I can only imagine if they were busy. Good place to grab a bite to eat, wouldn't be first on my list but would revisit. read more

When I heard Ronnie Johnson was playing at Daddio's, I just had to go. I told several friends and I met them there as he and his group are on the uprise in their music. However, last night Ronnie was playing by himself and he had the crowd moving. He is a "Good Ole Virginia Boy" to say the least. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich, and to my surprise for bar food... it was very good and the price as really decent for the amount of food you received which included French Fries or Onion Rings. The waitress was hustling a lot and the Bar Tender was rocking and very attentive. The only thing which I found as a drawback was... I wish they had a list of beers because when I asked the Bartender what he had, I got this answer... a lot. So the first two I asked for... he did not have. So, I went for the traditional which was a Cold Bud in the bottle. I am not a smoker and it has been a long time for me to do some hanging in a crowded bar. Great crowd as they have two big pool tables... LOTS of TVs on the walls for sports of all kinds. I felt like I had been going in there for years as it seemed like my neighborhood. Since, I am a Non Smoker, they place had units which clear the smoke however there is still a lot. However, even though I could still smell the smoke on me this morning... I would like to go back again and try more items on the menu because the Reuben Sandwich I had was excellent. I hope Daddio's Grill will make Ronnie a regular as his music was great on his Acoustic Fender Guitar. As one fellow musician said in there last night to me, he had not heard a Fender Acoustic Guitar sound as good as this one. Along with the depth of sound and Ronnie's great songs and being able to play what the crowd wanted.... I felt he will be back soon, and I will be going back again soon to Daddio's. read more

Hole in the wall bar. Everybody knows everybody. They have a smoking and non smoking side so you don't have to deal with the smell if you don't want to. I ordered the pizza and it was really good, a little salty but overall great!!!! read more

Visited for lunch and had the BBQ chicken and jalapeño Mac & cheese. Very good. The beef brisket is also very good! read more

Although I'm a non-smoker, this bar and grill is an excellent place to watch your favorite team(s). The bartender was super efficient! The food menu has a variety of healthy options. Today, I ordered the turkey wrap, and it was delicious! Once again, the bartender was super efficient. She was able to serve approximately 50 customers with no issues. No one was complaining about his or her drinks due to the bartender's efficiency. This restaurant is a lot like Cheers. Every one knows your name. The customers were super friendly. On Thursdays, Meatloaf is the headliner. I can't wait! All of the bartenders here are just awesome! As I stated, this is a smoking restaurant; however, there is a non smoking section on the other side of the bar with a separate door. There are pool tables and other games here. Karaoke is very popular here! I definitely recommend that you come in and experience the tremendous service at this location. All the bartenders are customer oriented!!! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, accomodating to all. Couldnt ask for better service. There is a reason I've been coming here for years. Highly recommended read more

Walked in this place after looking it up on Yelp where the hours of operations states that they are opened till 1am. As soon as we walked in the Bartender states I already said last call? It was 11:45pm. We then asked about ordering food and we were informed that the kitchens been closed. It would be helpful to have the correct information on you page. I was visiting the area and had just gotten off the highway in that area and wanted something to eat before I went to my hotel room. read more

Good for drinks with friends after work, food is typical bar fare with a few extra specialty items thrown in. Cheese fries are good, several varieties to choose from.

If you need Karaoke in your life this is the place. Came here with a group of buddies and we left feeling like celebrities.

This place is great. Owner bought my wife and I a round and invited us to play golf with him. I don't play gold but that was great. The food is fantastic as well. We lived across the street for 6 months before we tried it out. read more

Excellent food-very reasonably priced. Friendly regulars. Attentive staff. TVs everywhere! Purse hooks, clean bathrooms. Yes, smoking allowed (finally-a place for us). Good bands. read more

One of my favorite West End holes to pop into for a drink after work. Food is fairly unappetizing and some of the bartenders aren't the greatest but cheap beer and pool tables keep me coming back read more

My boyfriend and I just recently moved down the street and visited your bar. Even though the non-smoking side was not really 'non-smoking', the bartender was friendly and attentive. However, about a week later, my boyfriend I went back and since the smoking side was pretty packed - which is good for business - we sat on the non-smoking side. After a few minutes, I went to the bathroom, hoping to have a beer on it's way when I returned. About 10 minutes later, when my boyfriend came back from the bathroom and found out no one had even attempted to come over to greet us, we left. Not very impressive. It's a shame, because we love to shoot pool and though it's a farther drive and they don't offer pool, I do believe we will be taking our business to Glory Days from here out. We'll find somewhere else with pool tables who also serve their customers drinks and food. read more

I've been here a few times so far, once during the day and then a couple nights. I wouldn't come in during the day, the bartender seemed to be upset that I even walked into the building. I couldn't even tell you who was bartending, but I felt I was an inconvenience for her. I am that type of person who gives a place a second chance so I decided to come up at night, and I can say it's a very big difference in service. The service is quick and I felt like I was in your local area bar, like Cheers! What made me come back was the attention I got from the bartenders, so I came back again a different night. Same service! Thank you Mary, Doug, and Bret, not only were you guys amazing, you made me felt welcomed. You guys had amazing service, and enjoyed that people were at your bar. So if you don't mind a smoking bar, come here at night, that's where you'll get the best service and where everybody knows your name! read more
