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

I am originally from Va and moved to Fl about 2.5 years ago. I got engaged and came up to Richmond to do some gown shopping with my family who still all reside in Va.

Another cool niche place for good beer and interesting food. I chose a big burger with lots of stuff on it, but the best was pork gravy that you might think odd, but no. It was very tasty and tied things together. I took off a star because the brunch menu was a bit narrow and geared more to breakfast IMHO. Still I want to go back for the dinner selections!
