Here we are again Richmond. The city that never hesitates to embrace its vices gears up for Drinksgiving, that sacred Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. It’s a carnival of cheap drinks, questionable decisions, and the bittersweet anticipation of family drama. For those in the trenches of the service industry, it’s not just another night—it’s the Olympics of booze, dubbed Blackout Wednesday. If you’re planning to partake, don’t be a fool—call a Lyft, find a friend, or walk it off. Just don’t drive. Check out our list of our favorite Drinksgiving dive bars here: https://lnkd.in/g9PXpyyT #rva #RichmondVA #nightlife #divebars #drinksgiving

Richmond’s Unsung Hero! Health Brigade Fights For Survival For over half a century, Health Brigade, formerly Fan Free Clinic, has been Richmond’s quiet, unshakable healthcare safety net. No glitz, no glamour, no trophies on the wall. Just care for anyone who walks through their doors, no questions asked. But now, they’re reaching out. An email landed in our inbox the other day—direct, urgent, and honest. They need help. The community’s help. To keep doing the kind of work that doesn’t make headlines but saves lives. And if they’re asking, you know it’s serious. We’re here to spread the word. Check out our coverage here: https://lnkd.in/d-vndW3Q Or visit healthbrigade.org/donate Help them keep fighting. Help them keep showing up for our community. #rva #community #communityhealth #freeclinic #healthcare #CommunityHealth #NonProfits #communitygiving

Forest Hill isn’t the shiny, hyper-curated neighborhood you’ll find in Scott’s Addition. It’s quieter, greener, and unapologetically itself. And it’s exactly where Väsen Brewing Company is setting up its second location, scheduled to open in summer 2025. RVA's R. Anthony Harris met with Väsen’s co-owners, Joseph Darragh and Tony Giordano, at their new spot to talk about why they’re crossing the river and what they’re bringing to the table.

Richmond has $3 million up for grabs—money meant to improve the city, boost its neighborhoods, and maybe even change a few lives. But here’s the twist: for once, city hall isn’t the ones calling the shots. Instead, they’re turning to the people, asking a deceptively simple question: what do you want? It’s a bold move, giving the public the reins to decide how to carve up a slice of the city’s capital improvement budget. Think sidewalks that don’t crumble under your feet, bus stops that actually keep you dry, or murals that make you stop and appreciate where you live. The possibilities are endless—or at least as endless as $3 million will allow.

Richmond! Come Watch ‘Army of Darkness’ with Us On Monday! On October 28th, at 7 PM, RVA Magazine is celebrating this masterpiece in the best way possible—by screening it in one of the last true Grand Cinema Palaces in the U.S., the Byrd Theater. And we’re raising money to keep this place looking sharp because, let’s face it, once the Byrd Theatre is gone, they’re just gonna build another Starbucks there, and the world doesn’t need more pumpkin spice anything. So get your ass in a seat, buy some popcorn, and let’s keep this place alive. We hope you will join in our support of the Byrd by enjoying classic movies with us — every ticket goes directly to the theater’s preservation.
