Other Details:

The Virginian Restaurant is lauded as “one of the south’s most famous eateries” in Coy Barefoot’s book, The Corner, a book documenting the history of UVA’s commercial district. While small, the restaurant packs more tradition and history than most. The walls are decorated with over 80 years of photographs documenting both the history of Charlottesville and The Virginian. The wooden booths and pressed tin ceiling complement the historic feeling of the restaurant. The Virginian is a bar and grill at heart, but takes standard bar food to the next level by offering big steaks, seafood, pastas, huge salads, and interesting appetizers. Our spinach and artichoke dip is well known around town. The Virginian prides itself on being able to offer different atmospheres at different times of day. Lunches are dominated by business people, UVA staff, and tourists looking for excellent service and delicious food. Dinner time lends itself more to families, students, and couples desiring intimacy with a fun atmosphere. The most interesting change occurs after 10PM when the Virginian becomes one of the most exciting nighttime destinations in Charlottesville . Students and locals pack the restaurant, all looking for a good time with their friends.
