A Local’s Favorite in Richmond’s Hidden Lanes
So Bar Richmond is a delightful find for anyone looking to escape the tourist crowds and experience what locals actually enjoy. The space feels like a secret garden tucked away in the lanes—warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a staff that clearly takes pride in their craft. You’ll want to start with one of their signature fresh-fruit cocktails; they’re not just pretty on Instagram, they actually taste incredible. The food menu, helmed by the MIA team, offers a clever blend of Asian and Mediterranean flavors that works surprisingly well—try the tacos if you’re a Ted Lasso fan, they’ve got the exclusive Ted Lasso Taco on the menu.
It’s not a place for a quick pint or a loud night out; this is for sipping slowly and enjoying good conversation. The table service model means you’re attended to properly, which adds to the feeling of being looked after. While it can get busy on weekends (especially with Ted Lasso fans making pilgrimages), the atmosphere never feels rushed. Just be prepared to book ahead—this is one of those spots that’s earned its reputation the hard way, through quality and consistency.
