It's a self serve system where you pay at the end and they give you a card which makes you feel like you're at Dave and busters but instead of playing games you play slots of alcohol. Right when we walked in we were greeted by the staff and asked if it was our first time. They quickly told us the concept and showed us how to pour. They even have different size glasses and flight holders, they have plenty of beer varieties and host some of the local signatures from breweries located right in here Richmond. They have some wine options as well. There's a outdoor seating area as well for warmer weather but it was a chilly night so not too many people were utilizing that option. We had some issues though. Maybe it was because it was our first time or the keg lines just needed readjusting but some of the pours we did came it straight foam. One of the staff saw this though and quickly went over to us to try and help us. But it still gave some issue afterwards. There's also limited seating, it's not the biggest place so once it's gets a decent amount of people there's no where to sit.

They have a variety of glassware on hand in different sizes, so it's easy to create your own flight or to just pour a full pint. I had never visited a similar establishment in the past, so I had about 20 questions on how to operate everything. Here's the rundown: 1) Walk up to the cashier and give them your credit card. They will swipe it, give it back, and provide a card to access the taps. 2) Check the TV screen for the full digital listing of their available taps, or walk right up to the taps and read each individually. You can click on the beer name for a full description, including style, price per ounce, and abv. 3) Pick a glass, place the access card in the little slot, be sure you're on the main screen, and then pull the tap handle that corresponds to the beer. Each screen has two, with the taps beneath. Hold your glass at a 45-degree angle unless you're pouring cider, in which case it doesn't really matter. 4) Take your card, pick a seat or stand, and drink your beer. Repeat. 5) When you're ready to leave, walk back up to the cashier, choose your method of payment (I chose to just leave it on the same card...easy), select a tip, sign, and you're good to go. I tried six samples during my time there -- all about 3-4 ounces or less -- and paid $12 pre-tip. This is an excellent place to try a variety of beers. I imagine most names are recognizable...they carry stuff from Ardent and Isley, among other local and regional spots, but others aren't the easiest to find, such as Funky Buddha. RVA Draft Room is in the same open-format building as Zzaam, a tea place I forget the name of, and Sweet & Sassy BBQ. It's also centrally situated in Carytown. I didn't like the seating...I found it really uncomfortable. I think they need to invest in purse hooks and perhaps some stools with backs. I had to keep standing up to avoid hurting my back. Beyond the subpar seating, everything else was nice, and I think it's cool that they offer free tasting events as well. I'm sure I'll return at some point!

While I sorely miss Circuit Arcade Bar that used to be in this spot, Parlay has shown itself to be a welcome addition to the Scott's Addition family. Their happy hour prices are excellent, beer and liquor selection is quite good (Coors Banquet!), and the food is a nice bonus as well. I have only had good experiences with the service so far, and their rewards program is nice with a $5 birthday reward to liven things up. Parking in Scott's has always been a pain, though at least for Parlay they have a parking lot (though it's quite small, maybe about 12 spots, so plan on street parking). The convenience is nice if you're planning on hitting other bars too, as Strangeways is right across the street. I happened to swing by when they were setting up for a wrestling event one time, and they regularly host other events as well, so that's a nice bonus. They have a good amount of bar seating and tables, though not so much for larger groups so if you are with one you might need to split things up a bit. I intend to continue keeping Parlay as one of my top three places to grab a drink, and if you haven't tried them yet, swing by and see if they belong on your list too! Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Great happy hour specials. - Solid food and drink selection. - Excellent service. - Cool events. Cons: - Scott's parking is always tough but at least having a lot is more than most places can say. They're worth spot-hunting for!

It was a tricky life I was living going to school in the City. The burger is excellent. The fries are great. The beer tastes like beer. It's simple, but I love it. It can be a bit packed, so maybe make this a solo endeavor if you're really feeling fat. You can always find a spot at the bar. The parking, not easy for most. But for me, I'm not scared to maybe park in a spot that's not reserved for Jack Browns Customers.

To their credit, they do have a good draft/bottle beer list, and their burgers are indeed good. However, that's really all there is to recommend them. The parking situation here is absolutely awful and starts things off on a bad note. Their absence of a waitlist system made it awkward while our party waited to get a table and other groups waiting for a table jockeyed for position, and they took forever to clean it off even after the previous party had left. While it was nice of my compatriots to pay for my dinner, the server refused to split our checks, which made it especially obnoxious for my friends who had ordered significantly less than others since they were still on the hook for the even split. If this had been the only service issue it might have been somewhat forgivable, but the server all but disappeared for most of the evening after taking our orders, particularly when most of us ran dry before our food finally arrived. This all might be excusable in a cheaper place, but Jack Brown's is NOT cheap anymore, they are just as overpriced as every other "bougie burger" spot around without a valid justification for it. At the end of the evening, I looked really dumb for choosing this place. That is definitely not a mistake I will make twice. Overall: 2.0 stars --- Pros: - Excellent draft and bottle beer list. - Burgers are good and unique. Cons: - Recent price increases kill the value proposition of this spot, just not worth it anymore when there are SO many options around for this sort of thing. - Weird seating/waitlist situation makes for a bad first impression. - Service was incredibly low energy, and as I can attest to as a former restaurant server myself, a party of eight needs some effort to get things right. - Parking here sucks, this area desperately needs at least one parking garage to make it less of an exercise in frustration to get here in the first place.

This was our 2ed trip to the GALLEY after a dismal 1st visit I persuaded my wife to try it again - give them a chance --- big mistake! We walked in on a Friday night, 20 min wait you can try to stand at the bar, 50 min later no table for two, we ordered calamari at the bar, waited another 30 min then a small table outside came up. Went outside after I paid for the drinks and calamari at the bar --- still hadn't arrived by the time the waitress came out --- we ordered dinner, myself an item off the all day breakfast and my wife the NY Strip --- my dinner came - 20 min later a totally different waitress show up with a dinner with some type of steak on it covers with a white sauce, potatoes and my wife's worse nightmare Brussels sprouts. They tried to sell her on this dish - the one she ordered was taken to another table and this one was the one left behind. My wife said no - we asked what could be done quickly and a chicken sandwich was ordered. I finished my dinner, slowly drank my drink --- no chicken sandwich - no managers, no owners nobody - so I went to the wait station and said I'm done, let me have the tab we are leaving ---- finally an owner came up and said he would take the steak off the check - great - we never got a steak at all - my wife hasn't eaten - then he got defensive and angry and said take the chicken sandwich with you-- no we are leaving let me have the check we have been here for almost two hours now - he walked away and said no charge - he should have said more but seems to be a little hot headed. I put fifty bucks on the counter for my breakfast food ( 9pm) and two beers and left. I'm not a hypocrite I will pay (over pay) but I will tell the story - there are too any good places to eat in Richmond - don't go near this place --- my wife got a chick-fil-a salad for when we got home - the peach shake helped - do not support a place like this - BEWARE OF REVIEWS WITH SMART LOOKING PICS - OWNERS AND STAFF INFLATING THE REVIEWS --- read more

After trying many many dishes, I've concluded that really the only thing I like from here is the pizza. Every dish you order from here looks phenomenal, is cooked well, and you expect it to taste just as phenomenal, but just about veverything I've tried has an odd ingredient or is created in an odd way that throws the whole dish off, and it ends up being less than enjoyable. Country fried steak for instance is served on top of wet collards that in turn wets the crunchy batter of the steak. Instead of white gravy traditionally served with country fried steak, it is served with a brown gravy and just throws the whole dish to another realm that's not enjoyable, either with texture or flavor, although each individual ingredient tastes ok except the gravy which was flat. The point of country fried steak is the fried part where you get the textural crunch of the coating, not soggy breading. With the chocolate mousse pie, they add orange zest and Grand Marnier, which completely overpowers any chocolate flavor and makes it unenjoyable. It seems in trying to be different, ingredients are thrown in many dishes, and preparations are adopted that take it away from tradition indeed, but into an area outside of deliciousness. I'd just like a slice of chocolate mousse pie with espresso as the heightened ingredient maybe, but this pie I would advertise as "Orange, chocolate-looking mousse pie. " read more

The complementary bread service was excellent - warm, crusty bread with good olive oil and roasted garlic. Even with the "misses" on the food we enjoyed the evening. Rowland is great as a neighborhood restaurant but I'm undecided if we will make a special trip to go back.
