    Get tight: outside area is very nice for music
    Bella J.

    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.

    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!

    came here again and was able to see the beef on the grill. i absolutely recommend. they also have a pretty gnarley lunch special that's $10 ! sandwich fries and drink.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bread Pudding
    Leila M.

    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.

    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.

    Came here for drinks and there was live music. It's a cool vibe and the drinks were good. I got a Midori sour and it was as expected. The cocktail was filled with ice to the brim but I did like the small pellets of ice.

    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.

    Outside for $1 Oyster day
    Lena M.

    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.

    The Mardi Gras decor
    Tera C.

    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!

Her set started at 10pm. We were probably there from 10:30pm-1am. The bouncer was incredibly sweet and checked our IDs at the door. We walked up a flight of stairs to get to the lounge. From my understanding, this lounge is open on Fridays and Saturdays only so far. Tickets for the show we were going for were $7. We didn't pay at the door, they put the $7 ticket on our drink tab. It was pretty packed, but the three of us were able to find a seat. It took a while to order drinks, but it feels like they're still figuring the best system out. My friend and I ordered the hibiscus spritz which was incredible. It was such a huge and delicious serving. I highly recommend ordering this. Our other friend got a regular old fashioned that she enjoyed. Do know with the music, it gets a bit loud so you end up screaming at each other. It was really good music so it was totally fine. At some points people made the tiny elevated section where the DJ was a dance floor. While this isn't a dance spot, there is a tiny space to dance. There is lots of seating available here, so even though it was crowded, it was never shoulder to shoulder packed (unless you tried to dance). The decor is unique with exposed brick and hieroglyphics matching the Egyptian restaurant below. I'm excited to return to try more delicious cocktails from their menu and see other DJs.
