If you ever…read morewondered what Christmas would be like on an island look no further because Sippin Santa brings those vibes to RVA. The ambiance here was amazing from the lights, the decor and cozy seating. Had a lovely time talking and enjoying the scenery. We ordered the Coco Ho Ho Ho and the Hot Grog, the Coco Ho Ho Ho was delicious, it had the perfect balance of sweetness with a slight tang. The Hot Grog was our least favorite, we expected a more thicker beverage based on the description but it was more liquidy. Overall, I would definitely give this place a shot if you're wanting to try out one of the Pop ups. They did release reservations earlier in the month but pro-tip some cancelations may pop up so make sure to check it out before hand! (Thats how we got ours).

It's such a cool spot to discover up and coming Richmond artists in a really fun and intimate setting. Even when it started sprinkling outside, we stayed and still had the best time. The beef sliders were great, the service was super friendly, and both the indoor and outdoor seating have their own vibe. Definitely excited to come back this summer.

Rude hostess! We went early on a Saturday in February with a party of 6. The hostess said she…read morecouldn't seat us, even though there were 2 tables next to each other that would fit us just fine. She didn't say she wasn't permitted to seat 6 in that space, but maybe that was the case.

We contemplated taking a 2 top and then a 4 top elsewhere, but the hostess was so rude we decided to leave. The bar looked fun and drink menu fabulous, but is it too much to ask to be treated civilly?

My boyfriend wanted to have a smoke, so he stepped outside briefly. Security would not let him back in, even after he showed his wristband. Security was all-around RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and prejudice towards my bf (he is white and I am black). After refusing to let my bf back in the club, the black security bouncer let my black friend back in with no problem. Absolutely disgraceful service.

She suggested this place said, it was a nice vibe and the food was really good. She was absolutely correct! This business is beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly and efficient. The customers were grown, sexy and engaging. A place where the boys can hang out together or when they feel like bringing a woman they can do that too or us girls. Just as long as you are grown no foolishness here. It's a great vibe, that kind of place! My cousin had the chicken and waffles. I didn't taste that chicken, but it smelled absolutely delicious and she loved it. And baby, those dry rub wings are the thing to get! My waffle was one of the best that I've had, a little firmness with flavor, the bacon was crisp without being burnt. I loved the pineapple mimosa. Kierra(sp) our server was excellent. You couldn't ask for anyone better. Even the Commanders fans were very gracious to us Philadelphia Eagle lovers. Would I go here again? Hell yeah, I may just make a trip just to go there!

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.

Updated Review:…read more Still a great place for a late night cocktail and a vibe, but the food has been disappointing lately. The menu has completely changed, removing popular items and delicious natural wine selections that contributed to their initial success. The menu feels more on the pretentious side and lacks consistency. Everything that is fried tends to taste the same and be a bit burned, as if the oil needs to be changed. The music choices remain amazing and the staff is always wonderful. I'd suggest more consistency and bringing back signature items from the initial food & cocktail menu. Juicy wines, Pet Nats, lamb chops, tostadas, lobster rolls, etc. This is what not only drew people in, but makes them come back.
