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. Try the Blood Red Ale with the Fried Artichoke Sandwich and Avocado & Smoked Fish Salad. The bar is packed with metal music aficionados on Metal Mondays, movie nights and Punk and Rock DJ nights.

MoreFood Mid at best. Got the vegan tofu bites and the middle was soggy and cold. They should have been cut smaller or double fried because they were not good. The vegan salad was okay? There was not...
