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.

GWARbar is Richmond’s one true metal bar, but you don’t have to be a metalhead to enjoy the atmosphere and food. The food is not your run-of-of-the-mill bar food. The Buffalo cauliflower is a must! Their burgers are incredible, but so is their vegan fare. My one wish is that they’d expand and become a music venue, and be able to host private events.

Food was great and the staffing was friendly. The menu was different from other places but well executed. The next time I’m in the area I will have to plan a trip back.

Food was amazing and the decor was great. Was hoping to hear some GWAR on the speakers however. Will return!

It's mostly hype. GWAR is lame so don't believe the hype with their bar. They're only considered extremely cool in Richmond, VA; however, they aren't considered cool or noteworthy elsewhere. It is not the worst place; however, there are other bars in RVA with better prices and better quality people. It's mediocre or okay but not amazing.
