1. Richmond Draftcade and The Richmond Funny Bone
Arcade games, craft beers, and comedy all in one night. Crush your date at Skee-Ball, sip a Donkey Kong cocktail, and finish with funnel cake fries after the show.

Fresh smoothies, wraps, and good vibes. This cozy spot blends healthy eats with music, affirmations, and community spirit. Try the Summertime Fine smoothie — it lives up to its name.
Vibe: Relaxed, wellness-forward, local love.
3. La Playa Mexican Restaurant
Festive, colorful, and perfect for a patio fiesta. Go for the sizzling fajitas, chorizo queso, and a Tajin-rimmed margarita. Sunshine and chips never tasted so good.
Vibe: Lively, playful, great for groups.
4. The Penthouse at Marylou's
Rooftop cocktails, DJ beats, and fried catfish nuggets. The view, the scene, the drinks — all top-tier. Balance those spirits with crispy bites and good company.
Vibe: Trendy, energetic, rooftop chic.

Sophisticated rooftop with city views, a pool, and standout small plates like deviled eggs and margherita flatbread. Not a member? This vibe might convince you.
