About this business

GWAR is a famous heavy metal band that originated in Richmond and has opened this bar in collaboration with a veteran restaurateur. The theme bar is equal parts funky and gory as the decor includes fake blood on the floor and walls, and death metal music plays in the background. Posters, mementos and other paraphernalia related to the band line the walls, and even the menu items bear unique names based on the GWAR theme. Try the Blood Red Ale with the Fried Artichoke Sandwich and Avocado & Smoked Fish Salad. The bar is packe... read more

Best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. Meat Sandwich is amazing, and the salsa is absolutely killer. Lots of GWAR props and memorabilia, all of which I have seen on stage and it was fantastic seeing them up close. Jut a great atmosphere and amazing service. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area again. Drove from Pennsylvania.

I took a photo of one of the band's costumes and within seconds a bouncer who had been drinking got up in my face for taking the picture. the same bouncer was giving alot of people shit as if he didnt like white folks and wanted to fight. the 20 something patrons also gave us 40something long time fans of the band a bit of of an attitude. it was pretty obvious we were not welcome. won't go back. unless your tattooed covered, and in your early 20s, I would avoid the place. on a positive note, the barmaid was pleasant.

One of the most magical places I’ve ever been to. It’s nice to know Oderus Urungus is always looking out over Richmond. The Nachos Destructo truly lived up to their name and wreaked some serious havoc on my innards in true GWAR fashion. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would recommend. Five stars easily earned!
