One Great Bar

by cptsternn

If your looking for a nice place to grab a pint, you found it. A mixture of all types of Richmonders and a great staff makes this one of the best bars in the city. There is always a crowd, even during the afternoons. The menu has traditional American fare, and the beer selection is what you would expect a a normal American bar as well (most important, they have Guinness on draught). If you looking for a good time and to meet some people, this is the place to go.

• Pros: Great crowd, Great prices, Excellent service
• Cons: , No live music

Bring a buddy, make a buddy. This Fan gathering spot gives after-hour revelers a reason to raise a glass.

The Scene
This local pub hub attracts a more loyal following than the beer trucks at Friday Cheers--but you'll have a tougher time finding enough space to rest your beer mug. The draw of this bar isn't its atmosphere--which is like a typical Fan hole-in-the-wall--but its unbridled ability to bring in the masses and make them feel at home. The crowd: The tables start filling up shortly after the work bell buzzes, and within hours the booths inside are as full as the nifty deck outside. With all the young professionals flocking here, Buddy's is living proof that a bar doesn't need to be fancy to attract a crowd.

The Food
Buddy's isn't just a bar: Its burgers and sandwiches make it a great place to lunch on a warm afternoon, especially if you can grab a table outside.
