Editor’s picks

Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Richmond Magazine, Style Weekly, and RVA Magazine. Updated September 2026.

Fanboy · Scott's Addition
Richmond Magazine 2025 top-3 for Best Cocktail Bar and 2024 Best Late-night Spot. The West Broad cocktail bar and vinyl listening room near Scott's Addition.
Fuzzy Cactus · Northside
A Brookland Park bar and music room with a kitchen that stays open late, placed second for dive bar in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll. It anchors a stretch of Brookland Park Boulevard that has become a small nightlife corridor of its own.
Sticky Rice · The Fan
RVA Magazine describes this West Main Street spot as part sushi joint, part dive, part karaoke stage, and somehow it all works. The sushi runs cheap, Tuesday karaoke draws a crowd, and the bar has kept Fan-district students out late for decades. Order sushi rolls first, then stay for a late set of songs at the mic.
