My FAVORITE first date spot!! 10/10 atmosphere (esp during the summer with live music) Food is good but some things are over priced (nachos and crab dip are amazing) Service 10/10 read more

Decent food and drinks in the heart of the Fan. The setting has a dozen or so seats in the bar area along with half a dozen small tables. There are some outdoor tables as well. There is a unisex rest room. The service was very friendly. We came for the pit beef and really enjoyed the sandwiches. So nice not to have to drive to Maryland for this treat! The side of pinto beans was good but not outstanding. The crab dip was overly salty and probably helps customers decide to order that second beer. The dip comes with some nice crusty bread. We noted the notice about $10 lunch specials during the week and resolve to go back and chow down again. read more

Didnt eat this time but I did have a beverage. It was tequila and I don't usually drink it but it was done righteously a flavorful, sophisticated guilty pleasure that I will be back to celebrate our spring season with. Keep at it get tight read more

This is not a lounge, it is a bar! Long bar with stool and opposite is the booths. They do have an outside area where concerts take place. I really loved this aera. 1. Service: very fast and nice. 2. Drinks are mediocre. It is not some fancy place, simple beer and wine and the mixed drinks aren't good. 3. Food: bad We couldn't down any of the things we got including the sandwich, burger or the fries. And I got diarrhea 2 hours later! Don't eat here! 4. Live music: The day we went had country singers and they were not very good but still fun. read more

Came here on a Saturday night with two friends and we had a great time! I am partial because I am from Baltimore and stumbling upon a Baltimore bar in Richmond was a treat! The DJ they had that night was great, the vibes were good all around and the bartender was very attentive which was a feat given how crowded it was. I didn't get a chance to sit in their back patio area where the DJ was set up, but it looked awesome and was a pretty large space. I would definitely return! read more

This place is so fun and cute! The vibe is definitely college student-oriented (which is totally expected due to the proximity to VCU), but it's still a great spot to hang. The drink specials and food are pretty solid, and the service is super quick, especially if you sit at the bar. I'd love to come here for a late(ish... I'm old) night out instead of just dinner one day. read more

Really like the restaurant laid-back vibes chicken wings are great beer was good and cold. Only issue I had was the waitress felt like we were rushed. Came over every minute to two no exaggeration love good service, but this was overdone. read more

Get Tight Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Get Tight is a fun late-night spot in the VCU area, offering unique drinks and a barbecue-focused food menu. The bar seats are those painful stools with no seatbacks. I guess if you're a college kid, that's fine. As someone in her 30s with a bad back, I'll generally opt for a table when available. On my last visit, I finally tried their food for the first time. I went with the pit beef sandwich and fries, which you had to purchase separately. Both arrived on the colder side, and the beef was chewy. Not super ideal but the fries tasted better once I heated them up at home. Prices are pretty good here and the vibes are lively. I'm rounding up to a 4; it's more like a 3.5 for me. read more

After an amazing concert, my friends found this place on a whim to get drinks and food at to end the night: it looks like a little party "hole in the wall" type place but those places are usually the ones with the best food. Our bartender/server was Mile and he was awesome. He was quick, helpful, and got us whatever we needed. I got a midori sour and I never had midori before so I wanted to try it. It was kind of like a sweet and sour soda taste and it was really good. The wings were a good size and super tender. The lemon pepper wasn't super strong with the lemon flavor, it was very balanced and the honey old bay was surprisingly not too sweet. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of seasoning. The ahi tuna was delicious! They cooked it similar to salmon consistency and the sauce on it gave it a nice bite. Everything was amazing, whoever was in that kitchen was doing their thing! We had a great time, it was good vibes. Definitely stop there if you're in Richmond downtown. read more

Great ambiance, friendly and quick service, cold beer. Good location and good atmosphere

This spot is cool! Love the layout and the ambiance. Service was great, as well as the drinks. Got the queso dip and the club sandwich, and both were pretty good, but the queso was the better of the two. read more

I'm new in town...just moved here from Austin, TX and this place really fits. Taylor said over the phone I could bring my dogs back to the outdoor area via the side and it's really Texas back there--full stage, plenty of seating, shade or sun as you like. People are friendly, service was impecable, atmosphere / ambiance laid-back, the best happy hour in all of Richmond--all day on a Monday. I got the beef sandwhich for my dogs for $10 which came w fries I could dole out at will, and I had wings. Honestly, for the music alone, I can't wait, but it was the genuine attention I received that stood out w the vibe here--you might expect a college bar, but this was more a locals scene in a good way...though how the students aren't filling in even at 3-5pm on a Monday is surprising. 5 stars w no 2nd thought, and I'll be back w my wife for music. They do acoustic stuff up front too. Really a hidden gem in Richmond. read more

Stopped in at Get Tight Lounge after a night at the Altria Theatre. The place was packed and had the fantastic buzz of a happy crowd. The lighting is very selfie-friendly and sets the mood for a fun, chill space. Every service member we encountered was friendly and helpful. We got one of the few tables in the front and ordered drinks quickly. I got the horchata milkshake and didn't love it. I was going to finish it because I made the choice, but when the waitress realized I didn't love it, she swapped it out for another drink without charging me. A true kindness in this era of inflation. I got the Pit Beef sandwich and only remembered I needed a picture after I devoured it. We finished with the bread pudding, which was comfy and delicious. Overall, it is an excellent impromptu stop and worth a visit for anyone needing food after an evening in the area. read more

Get Tight Lounge - Bread Pudding - Lounges Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This is definitely a must check out place even if you don't think out beef is your jam. I visited for the drinks, stayed for the food! Taylor was our great server, explaining to us some of the menu items. I got a blackberry cobbler cocktail. It was good, but the pineapple and orange in the drink made it more citrusy, less blackberry. Ended up ordering the disco fries, and my friend a slider. First off, the slider was HUGE. So ask first before ordering multiple. The fries were so good! They had Hawaiian pork from a special event, so that's what we topped it with. The flavors from that and the gravy were chefs kiss. read more

This bar has a lot of personality. It has street parking available on the street right in front of it and adjacent streets. It is located near the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. It has two sections. The first is a main area with bar and dining room seating. They have a television over the bar that was playing a movie while I was there. The cool thing about this area is that the front opens up and makes it an open air spot during nice weather. The other section is an outdoor area with seating and a stage. They had a band playing there during my visit and you had to purchase a ticket to sit out there while they were playing. I like that you had the option of just sitting in the main area, and not paying a cover charge, if you were not interested in hearing the band. The main area is a very colorful spot and I liked its lighting, how it was decorated and its vibe. They serve beer and signature cocktails along with a lite menu that includes sandwiches, soups, salads, grilled cheeses, and fries. I had already ate before I came here so, I had a couple of drinks. Their Happy Hour runs from 4:20 (get it?) to 6PM. I missed it though. The place is known to host events from time to time like karaoke and rock, paper, scissors tournaments. I ordered a Damiana Punch, a Chilly Willy and a spicy margarita. The drinks were very small. They were served in a cup just bigger than a bathroom paper cup. The Chilly Willie was like a boozey coffee concoction. It was ok. I like the Damiana Punch the best. It had a tropical taste. The spicy margarita was good. It had a lot of kick just like I like it. It was probably the spiciest drink I ever had. As I mentioned, the three drinks were small and I felt absolutely nothing after putting them down. It could have been water and I would have felt the same. The staff there was friendly enough, but I think the bartender overcharged me for my drinks though. I like the places vibe, it is a chill spot. I wish I would have had a better experience and that I would have liked it more, but oh well. it is what it is. read more

This place is a VIBE! A really retro, cool, 70s, aesthetic dream vibe. I came for their $1 Rappahannock oyster event and another time for lunch. It's not often I can say I'm obsessed with a bathroom. They have one with a disco ball and another with Farrah Fawcett. I love their bar's design. The wooden paneling and the way the lights are set up on the bar are really trendy. The outside is even better. It's great for all seasons because they have ample heating lamps and fire pits. It seems like such a cozy place to watch a live show. I haven't had a chance to attend a show yet, but all my friends love their shows here. The people who work here are really cool. I love the owners. It was fun talking to them at the oyster event. They were the ones shucking the oysters. The oysters were delicious. They have an amazing lunch special. For $10 you can get your choice of pit sandwich, hand cut fries, and a soft drink. I ordered the pit beef. It was a tasty sandwich. The horseradish snuck up on me and was really strong! I'm so happy this place has come to Richmond. It has great food, great music, and a great vibe. What more could you wish for in the River City. read more

Went to have dinner with my friend at Get Tight lounge where we had a few items from the Mardi Gras menu ! The ambiance is warm and inviting ! We sat at the bar ( the bar stools could be a bit more comfortable ) however, it's fine if you're not planning to stay for hours. The food was impeccable ! Everything we tried had great bold flavors! If you're into mocktails, I recommend the ginger shrub! read more

Bar Food with A Great Space Are you a college student with a night to spare with some buddies? A young adult looking for a place to get a drink before heading to the Altria Theatre? Do you just need a place to relax your mind and listen to some tunies in an excellent space? It's hard to argue against the Get Tight Lounge. Contrary to its name, the Get Tight Lounge isn't all that tight at all... once you consider the outside area in the back. The inside is a bit cramped, but the outside "yard" space hidden in the back is where the real fun happens. With heaters, a stage for a band, and plenty of seats, it's made for a party. The server we had was light-hearted and was ready to meet our demands with a plethora of recommendations. We thouroughly enjoyed her. The drinks were fine; nothing special. When we return, we'll probably just stick to beer. Don't go here expecting it to be like a speakeasy dripping with designer cocktails. This is a college bar with college drinks, so beer it up! I don't recommend the food. All in all, it's now my go-to place before seeing a show at the Altria! Give it a try. read more

Pros: -super cute inside space with funky vibe and atmosphere -very cozy outdoor space decorated with cafe lights -the beef itself is very flavorful and tasty -hand cut fries Cons: -I wish they had more sandwich options -I ordered my sandwich without horseradish but it was served with it (not sure if it was a mistake from the server or kitchen) - horseradish has such a strong flavor so that really bummed me out I enjoyed my visit. I won't be itching to go back but would like to try it again at some point in the future! read more

They say never order from somewhere you don't know when you have a light night hunger hit. Well, I take that with a grain of salt now. We ordered from here as this was one of the few places open that wasn't gas station or fast food. Slightly skeptical as pit beef is a Baltimore, MD staple and not everyone can do it just. Since I don't eat beef, the smoked turkey made me leery as it can be dry, most times. This was not the case. The meat was juicy and sliced deli thin. You could tell it was not store bought. No pictures as I was so hungry, that there was no time. The fries are hand cut, skin on. Love those types of fries. Perfectly seasoned. I would definitely order from here again. Maybe next time I will get a picture. read more

Get Tight Lounge reminds me of a place that feels familiar and where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came! Haha you know the rest! The bartenders are super friendly and always whip up amazing cocktails. The music is always on point, whether it's a DJ spinning the hottest tracks, their own playlist or a live band rocking the house. They've got everything from karaoke nights to themed parties. The food is surprisingly good too, especially the peel-and-eat shrimp; my fave! And don't forget to check out their holiday menu - it's a real treat! The gingerbread espresso martini was yummmm, and the spiked hot chocolate was deliciously delightful. There are non-alcoholic adaptations as well. The crab dip, butternut squash soup, rockfish and surf & turf were all very delicious! The seasoning is happening in that kitchen y'all! LOL! So grab your friends and go check it out y'all. You won't regret it! read more

I made semi finals for the rock paper scissors tournament! This place is great. It's small but I wouldn't call it cramped it was pretty comfortable. I liked the dark/ colorful lighting and candles on the tables. Everyone there seemed to know each other too which was fun, it was a good atmosphere overall. Drinks range from cheap to reasonably priced. My friend got the chilly willie which was pretty good. It had Blanchard's coffee, horchata and something chocolatey in it. Mostly coffee and chocolate flavor, pretty good! The small was enough but they offer a large with a cup you get to keep, too. I didn't try any food yet but it looks great. In terms of events I think this place is pretty active. It was my first time there but their instagram has a lot of info about upcoming stuff. Definitely coming back to rock paper scissors next week. read more

The vibe is very retro. Comfortable, relaxed, warm. So warm in fact, the vent is dripping on me. But I don't complain. Because the vibes are tight. See what I did there? "Tight". Like "Get Tight".

Amazing food. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. You can feel the level of love and care put into every plate and decision here.

Picked up our daughter at the airport from Boston. Thought we'd show her the bright lights of Richmond and found this restaurant. We were ferociously hungry and their menu was pure magic. An OG, a fried chicken salad, fries and IBC rootbeer. I'm usually timid about dressing my burger but this guy had new flavors, sauce, and pleasantly goopy. Finger-lickin' good, for sure. That Big Salad was sumptuous; fresh, loads of fiber and big enough to share with leftovers, too! She was properly impressed with our Southern ways and we will be back. Thank you! read more

I'll preface this by saying we went to Get Tight on July 4th, so maybe not a typical experience, but the restaurant did seem adequately staffed. The service was awful, we had to repeatedly ask for silverware and napkins. We got over charged for a menu item and after pointing out that the price on the special board was lower than what we got charged, the waitress did not correct the price. The burger was good, fries were cold. Might give it another try as the reviews generally seem good, but this experience was not. read more

Its like "outdoor" & "indoor" met up and had baby music venue. They've taken an alley, given it a suitable floor, wooden benches for seating and canopy ceiling, and WHALLAH! We have us a comfortable place to take in live local music. They have a good bar menu, mushroom gravy fries are vegan and to die (but not kill) for. Yum yum yum. Fireball whiskey was strong & tasty. I love that they have an H2O station w bottomless ice water keeping everyone hydrated, that's good looking out. YES: vegan friendly read more

Went here on two different occasions. The first was to see my friends band play, "Midnight Taxi". This was in the back where they have a wooden stage and light strung up. I really enjoyed the outside, you could sit or join the crowd to dance/get a closer look at the stage. All the bands that night were great. The bar is easily accessible as there is a separate booth outside selling drink so you don't have to go inside. The second occasion was to have dinner inside. It is fairly dark inside but each table has a candle and it fits the mood as when I went there was a singer almost arms length away. You could still have a conversation with your table and listen. Their fries are a awesome go to and you can order an assortment of sauces for 75 cents. read more
