Nestled in historic Richmond at 1201 East Cary Street, the Tobacco Company Restaurant brings a taste of the coast to Virginia's capital city. This multi-level establishment offers both upscale dinner service and a more casual first-floor bar experience, making it a versatile stop whether you're looking for a refined meal or a relaxed drink after a long flight.
What really catches my attention here is their approach to happy hour – or as they call it, 'SOCIAL hour' – running Sunday through Friday from 4 PM to 6:30 PM with solid deals like $5 draft beers and 50% off wine by the glass. They keep the energy going late too, with a dedicated late-night menu on weekends featuring small plates including their Fried Calamari. The fact that they recommend reservations for dinner service suggests this place draws a crowd, always a good sign in my book.
