Black Lodge 3200 Rockbridge Street, Richmond, VA 23230

"As a bartender, I enjoy a good cocktail menu. Was able to try 3 drinks here and they were pretty good. The frozen "Sleigh Ya" was well balanced(I had 2), the Highway To the Manger Zone, a whiskey cocktail, was light and tasty, and the mezcal "Gifts of an Angel" was fairly light for a mezcal drink (in a good way). Would love to come after holidays to see what else they have"

"The food is weirdly amazing IMO. We had a shrimp roll that was excellent and a chicken sandwich that is basically Chick-fil-A but better by 100%, it is dangerous knowing that sandwich exists. The drinks are great, I had a frozen fernet + turbo coke and a frozen gin and tonic and both were awesome. Beer is definitely way overpriced. Imo get the frozen drinks. The novelty is nice and the flavors are good. I gave the atmosphere 3 stars bc Black Lodge is supposed to be modeled after the twin peaks bar and it's just not. They have a generic building and slapped some things here and there. I'm not even a hardcore Twin Peaks person and NO. Lol. Ok. I'll give 4. The atmosphere is fine, it's a bar where you can hear each other talking and I like that a lot."

"It is easy to walk past this spot but once you walk inside you will enjoy the scenery. I had no idea this was so close to me. I ate the swordfish and pleased with how it was cooked. It tasted like.they used a tomato based sauce and although I favor lemon with fish, it worked for this dish. I would go and try a few more items on the menu."

"Love this place! We happened upon it while attempting to get in at Brenner pass, and now it's become a go-to. Love the atmosphere and friendly staff. Drinks and food are also on point!"

"When I ordered my food and drink I was transported into an experience! It’s like someone took fancy food like deviled eggs and combined it into a delicious hotdog, or just being generously greeted by gin and black caviar or a super delicious patty melt. This place is a hidden gem."
