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.

Ridiculously good food, great drinks, awesome staff, a true rock/metal/punk atmosphere and some GWAR memorabilia on display. The ultimate pre or post game stop when seeing shows in the RVA or any othe occasion.

Excellent food. I've tried several menu items and have yet to be disappointed. The chicken mcduckets are an excellent appetizer. Drinks are great as well. The wait staff is friendly but not overly attentive, which is perfect for casual dining like this. If this place were closer to home I'd visit weekly. Worth the trip when I do go.

Have been a fan of the band since 1994. I live in St. Louis . I've been following them since I found out it opened. Was going to be in town for the NASCAR race , I knew this was going to be one of my stops. Great Sunday brunch menu selection. Food did not disappoint. Waiting for shirts to come in so I can order one. Will return if back in Richmond.

Awesome place! Recommended for any true Gwar fan, and if you're not,the food , drink and staff all kick ass. Took the wife and Aubry, and they both loved the food. Big plus for having unisex bathrooms.
