Southern Railway Taphouse

Our nonprofit organization hosted one of our annual events in their private event space & had a positive experience! Our guests enjoyed having access to the bar and arcade upstairs with plenty of space to move around. The servers bent over backwards to help ensure we had what we needed during the event & were all very professional. I worked with Addie as our main POC on the day of the event & appreciated how well she communicated - we always had what we needed & she was very attentive, no matter what was happening. I worked with Kaitlyn Drummond to secure the venue, plan catering & prepare details along the way -- she was delightful from the beginning. She made the process feel easy by being so responsive, thorough & patient as questions came up! I definitely recommend hosting an event at SRT.

Stopped in for drinks and were glad we did! Lots of beers to choose from and my very selective husband found one he liked, but the big reason for the 5 stars is the non-beer menu. I'm not a beer drinker and usually end up with a water at a brewery or taproom. But this place had a number of cocktails to choose from, plus a wine list! I chose a margarita and can honestly say it was one of the best I've had. Bartenders were friendly (thanks Greg and Don!) and took pride in their drink making skills! If this place was close to home, it would be our "go-to" spot! Go Birds!

On a whim we decided to check out the taphouse for happy hour and bring along our dog to the patio. I can say the food and service was great. The layout of the restaurant and patio along with the location near the canal was inspiring. I will be back again during happy hour specials there is a large selection of great beers. The tacos were pretty good. Recommend using the nearby parking garage since street parking is limited.

Nice place to visit for food and drinks. Don, Emily and Eric made sure we had a pleasant experience. The selection of beer was vast and varied. I tried the Richmond Lager and D9 Brown Sugar Ale. Both worth buying again. The Cajun Salmon PoBoy and Sweet Potatoe Fries hit the spot. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were well seasoned and perfectly prepared. Happy Hour pricing is reason enough to return however the above makes it a great place to frequent. Update! Returned for brunch after a nice River Walk.

Food: every dish I have had from here has been extremely good. Cooked well, seasoned to perfection, and great flavor. My all time favorite is the goat cheese dip. Service: prompt and polite. Do their best to manage big crowds and still provide quality service. Atmosphere: inside and outside are both nice. I prefer to sit on the patio on the weekends and enjoy the local musician playing. Hidden gem of Richmond

This place was awesome! I came back the day after my first visit to have some more of their beers and food. Over 60 beers on tap and most of them local craft beers. Don was an amazing bartender and he let me sample some of the beers before I ordered them. He made plenty of great recommendations as well. The Bison Meatloaf is amazing!
