The Jasper - Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Absolutely the best bar in Richmond, if not all of southern Virginia, and probably further. The best martinis, both traditional and espresso martinis, on the east coast to date. Can not recommend more highly. read more

Look, I wanna give this place stars for cool and hip vibes. It's not quite a speakeasy BUT it's very discreet looking from the outside and has a speakeasy feel to it. This is a BAR. Come for the drinks- they are cheated on a rotating basis and truly unique. This place is dope. So if it's so dope, why give it 3 stars you ask? The snacks. They are just that- think Costco on a plate. Which is cool if you're not hungry. So come here for sure, I loved the vibes. It was perfect to stop in for one drink and look at the people. read more

Honestly this place never ends to amaze me. I always end up having a blast here! During December make sure you end up getting there at least 15-30 minutes before it opens! Towards the last week of December you can show up 5-10 min before they open. But then again it honestly depends! ORDER THE TURKEY SUB (during December). It was amazing!! I wish I took a picture of it and all its glory, but it was gone in SECONDS. Overall, amazing place, and amazing vibes. read more

Overall while the Jasper was a good experience I still have some thoughts. When first walking in my first note was that I was impressed. There seemed to be only one bartender and two servers, they all handled the full restaurant like pros. They managed to keep out waters full, bussed our tables, and brought clean plates and napkins. Let's talk about drinks and food. The drinks were hit or miss in my opinion. While there was a wide variety of unique cocktails they seemed very Richmond-esk. Meaning odd flavor combos that you can surprisingly find at any upscale richmond bar. The food didn't particularly impress me, but it was fresh and tasty. Perfect if you're looking for something to snack on, but keep in mind you come here for the cocktails. Ambiance was my least favorite part. The restaurant was small and cramped. Difficult to locate on Cary Street -I've lived in Richmond for over 10 years and still had trouble finding it. Overall extremely loud and difficult to maneuver around. While it didn't reflect the food/drink I feel the need to take note as it really dampened my time here. While I wasn't particularly wowed I still recommend a stop here as the Jasper is iconic to the Richmond bar scene. read more

Me and a girlfriend came here after dinner one night. This place has a laid back, speakeasy vibe to it. The servers are very nice and attentive. We ordered one drink here and then decided to go home but overall it was a really nice place. They had an extensive menu with good options and I would definitely come back. read more

OH my goodness, as is humans in 2022 would say, this place is a whole vibe! My friend highly suggested coming here for drinks when I was visiting. I'm not a big drinker, but I did not want to miss out. I'm so glad I went. I had one alcoholic drink from the menu and one mocktail. I wish more places had mocktail on their menu. But, they graciously accommodated and it was delicious! Their attention to detail is impressive. From their garnishes to the their logo ice cubes to the water bottles used out of old liquor bottles. I was highly impressed. Pricing is very reasonable. I hear this place is a little hot spot, so it does get crowded. read more

The Jasper came highly recommended by a lot of locals for the best place to grab drinks in Richmond. I can't say the place was for me though. The service was great and the place was very busy soon after opening but the vibe just wasn't for me. Nothing personal about the place at all, I just wasn't feeling it. read more

The Jasper - Old Fashioned - Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The waiter told my friend to sit up straight. It was incredibly rude. It would make sense maybe if we were eating at the French laundry but it's just a dimly lit bar. One time I left my sunglasses there and no one stole them so for that the place sort of redeems itself. Expensive strong drinks. Not loving the "shooters" campaign but I am not a marketing person so what do I know read more

I've heard great things about The Jasper and finally got to give it a try with a couple of friends. We came late on a weeknight and there wasn't a wait at all and the first thing that stood out to me was the ambiance. We had a booth in the corner which was oriented so that the booth seats and table faced the wall which I actually liked since it seemed more private and intimate. It was dimly lit and wasn't too loud which made it a nice place to socialize. I got to try the Quoit Club Punch which I enjoyed since it wasn't too strong and had some sweetness. I also tried a round of Penicillin Shots with my friends and this had a strong ginger flavor which I wasn't expecting since I didnt' read the menu description but it wasn't bad and I'd say its worth a try. All in all, this is probably one of the best cocktail bars you'll find in Richmond and I'd definitely come again when I have the chance. I do want to try this place again during the holidays since they decorate the bar accordingly but I heard it can be pretty crowded during that time so be prepared to wait! read more

One of the best espresso martinis I've ever had! Love the Jasper's lounge vibe. Doesn't feel like you're in Richmond - more like NYC.

Best cocktail bar in Richmond. Great location in carytown. Perfect stop for before or after dinner, a show, stroll, etc. No reservations as they are first come first serve but the waitlist goes quick. They currently have a Christmas pop up going on with crafted seasonal drinks and small plates. A great vibe for friends or a date night. read more

I had a lovely time at the Jasper on New Year's Eve. We were there for the last day of Miracle on Cary, so the drinks and snacks im about to describe aren't part of the Jasper's regular menu. They are available from Thanksgiving-new years when the Jasper temporarily transforms into the Miracle on Cary St (@miraclerva on the Gram). We had a large party and made the decision to reserve a table ahead of time. If you don't have reservations, I would be cautious about making sure you get a table and show up ahead of time. People were lining up around the block waiting at 4:45! The decor inside is amazing. It is clear that not only time and effort but a great deal of planning goes into this year transformation. There are many great photo ops if that's what you're looking for! As a group we couldn't resist the "MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMAL" tinsel display. Our table ordered an assortment of drinks, including some naughty shots, the Christmapolitan, the snowball old fashioned, the grandma/TREX, the yippee ki yay, egg nog and buttered rum. For snacks we enjoyed helpings of the trash snack food, and the cream cheese/beef dip that was served with Fritos. Nothing was healthy but everything addictively delicious, which sums up how I prefer to approach my holidays anyway. This was a great experience. Miracle on Cary Isn't designed to attract regulars but functions more as an extreme themed holiday novelty. In that category, we must award an A+ for success. It's worth it to note the number of dairy/alcohol combo drinks on the menu. I personally take it especially light on drinks of that type. They do not sit well, I feel. Other friends asked me to mention that the "grandma got run over by a t-rex" drink did NOT arrive in its t-Rex vessel as advertised. The other drinks all came in their holiday vessels but this particular drink was served in daiquiri glasses. read more

I did it! I finally made it to The Jasper's famed holiday pop-up Miracle on Cary Street and, let me tell you, it was worth the hype. We took the insider tip and arrived about 30 minutes prior to opening. Even then, there was a line down the block. We ended up waiting about an hour to get in, being right on the tail end of the first seating. You simply can't beat the Christmas vibes and decor! From the wall covered in bows to the bar adorned with bad family Santa portraits, every little detail has been considered. Now: the drinks. They were absolutely amazing! I first ordered the On Dasher with some encouragement from our lovely waitress. One of my favorite drinks ever! It's like sipping a lemon merengue pie! My friend got the Clausmopolitan and was kind enough to share; also a great option there. In addition to that we were hungry & ordered a few snacks: the party mix, the Christmas dip, and the meatballs. Everything was a hit! If you haven't had meatballs with grape jelly, you're absolutely missing out. We stuck around for another drink & I tried the Egg Nog while my friend got the Elfing Around. Once again, no complaints! The cocktails are clearly created with love & care and I would've tried each one if that wouldn't have ended terribly... Overall, a can't miss for the holiday season! read more

The Jasper is such a cool spot. From the moment you enter the discreet store front, the ambiance is amazing. The bar drinks are craft at its finest and their bartenders are well trained and very entertaining and interesting to watch when they're preparing their cocktails. This is the perfect spot for drinks and even a small bite. I highly recommend as the first stop on your next date night excursion. We'll be back! read more

Had to wait 45+ minutes for a table on a Friday night but was a good espresso martini! Great place to go for a chill but elevated experience. I love the moody but classy interior. Lots of intriguing drinks! Just plan ahead because there is usually a wait. read more

The server was really rude to me and my friends, unfortunately. The hostess was rude too. Good drinks. Poor service.

This is the best cocktail bar in Richmond or as close to a cocktail bar as you can get in Virginia. The menu is ever changing with new and innovative cocktails crafted by the bar tenders. They have top shelf liquor. read more

My review is based on their mocktail menu, if you gave the cocktails I'm sure the experience is extremely different. I've has 3/4 of the mocktail options on their menu and only really enjoyed 1/3. The first was a cocktail altered to be a mocktail. It was really mediocre & $13 because they use seedlip. The second was their na-groni which was great. Tastes like biting into an orange peel. The last was the sobolo. I couldn't drink more than a few sips & my friends who also took a sip were not fond of it either. The few times I've come the service has also been super hit or miss. But yeah maybe I'll give them another shot in a few months if some friends really want to, but I'm good not going back. read more

Great atmosphere. Knowledgeable bartenders.. my favorite place to grab a well made cocktail! They even offer happy hour on the daily so that's a major plus. My favorites are the Polaris, Club Punch, and the Daiquiri. Food options are limited so don't come here expecting a full blown meal.. come here to DRANK. read more

I stopped in here for their Bar Muertos special for Dia De Los Muertos last weekend, and thought it was so thoughtfully decorated, planned, and executed. Every inch of the place was beautiful and significant to the holiday! The drinks were absolutely delicious- I had the Wings of Dante (smoky and delicious) and the Poco Loco (sweet, light, amazing), which is pictured. The only only complaint I have is the noise level of the bar - even when the event isn't going, it's a rather loud bar. They more than make up for it with their fair prices and knowledgeable, welcoming staff. I will be back! read more

The CUTEST happy hour spot in Carytown. This place has easily become our go to. We stopped in before dinner during happy hour from 5-7 and was blown away by the equally delicious and affordable drinks and food. I'm a creature of habit but this is the one place I'll step out of my comfort zone to try new drinks! The "Soup" Du Jour (not soup) is their drink of the day and what I order every time and I haven't been disappointed yet! Pair your drinks with the Steak Tartare *chefs kiss* or really any of their food specials, it's all so good! Sidenote: I'm allergic to lemon and they happily adjusted the ingredients in the Steak Tartare and used limes instead - Brownie points earned!! I'd recommend heading in around 5, there is usually always a table available! Parallel parking is also available all around Cary St. Enjoy those "Full Pours & Honest Prices"!! read more

Be aware that there'll mostly likely be a wait (esp on the weekends) Great ambience for a GNO or a date night drinks. It's pretty loud but what bar in rva isn't.

OMG do we love The Jasper. From the vibe, to the creative cocktails and amazingly knowledgeable and friendly staff and bartenders, there's just nothing else like it in Richmond. They make a fabulous old fashioned and the bourbon and ginger nitro on tap will knock your socks off. The espresso martini is divine, made with their house-infused spirits. It's the perfect balance of bitter and sweet (just like me). The food offerings are perfect for a bar like this and align with the vibe. Highly recommend! read more

So I tried this place with some friends because we heard about their Miracle on Cary theme. It was a lot of fun, the drinks were heavily poured which was a bonus. They definitely stay on theme with their Christmas decorations. The staff were very sweet and accommodating. The drinks were between $11-$15. Be aware that when you visit the place is small so you do have to wait outside in order to wait for your seats. We didn't mind it as we knew that's what it'd be like. Dress accordingly! It was a lot of fun. read more

Came in here with friends at 5PM right when they opened, and boy are we glad we did. This small bar fills up quick! The atmosphere is awesome. It has a small speakeasy type of feel. The bartenders are awesome! Their signature cocktails were all delicious. But if there isn't anything that catches your eye, the bartenders can make you something based off your preferences. They're all so nice, professional, and awesome at making drinks. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Me and my friends wanted to do happy hour on the weekend and was so glad to find out that Jasper was offering that! Def need to get there earlier than 5PM since it gets PACKED really quickly. Interior was really nice but can be a lil cramped. I also liked how they only had a sign that says "Bar" outside. It made it inconspicuous and if you werent paying attention, could miss it. For drinks, always ask for their soup du jour because I loved what they had on the menu that day! Their margaritas were ok, nothing special. Daquiri didnt have the best taste but will mess you up. My friend wanted a virgin drink so they had asked her what she likes and made it based off that. I thought that was cute c: Thought happy hour was worth it and would come back again! read more

absolutely love this place! drinks are great, staff is super kind and friendly, & the whole vibe of the place is just relaxed & calm, but fun and energized read more

The vibe of the jasper won me over instantly with a relaxed speakeasy-ish venue. My husband and I stopped in to enjoy some cocktails and we ended up staying awhile. The menu of cocktails has something for everyone from concoctions with tequila, gin, whiskey and even absinthe, im sure you can find something that suits you well. I have a few of the tequila cocktails but after a special shot caught our eye. The Penicillin shot is listed on the menu so obviously my husband and I (scientists) needed to check that out! It came in a screw top container that looked like a pill bottle with the prescription label on it and everything! A whiskey/scotch and ginger shot that was surprisingly delightful! The bartenders were ready to help us any time our drinks were empty and always refilled waters as well! I think I may have found my new favorite cocktail spot! read more

Excellent place for cocktails with a chic, speakeasy vibe. Be prepared for a wait if you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday night but it's totally worth it.

Would highly recommend as there is nothing else quite like this in Richmond. read more
