City Beach

Stepping into City Beach is like settling into a well-loved neighborhood hangout where the energy is effortlessly welcoming. Nestled on W Cary Street in Richmond, this bar and grill balances the buzz of a lively sports pub with the ease of a casual local spot where everyone feels at home. The pace here matches the crowd’s mood—sometimes easygoing and relaxed, other times alive with the chatter of games on the many screens or the friendly competition of pool and cornhole in the back room.

The atmosphere invites you to linger a while, whether you’re nestled into a cozy sofa area or gathered around one of the large, bustling tables filled with friends and fellow locals. The space hums with a sense of ongoing connection: plenty of room to watch a ball game, snag a favorite drink, or just kick back and enjoy the soundtrack of live bands or karaoke nights. It’s the kind of place where families can feel comfortable bringing kids along, thanks to fun game options like foosball and basketball that keep little ones happily engaged while adults catch up.

Food here walks the line between familiar and thoughtfully crafted. The menu offers a lineup designed to match the easy charm of City Beach’s vibe—from crispy chicken wings that pair perfectly with a cold drink to unexpected twists like crab cake fritters or hearty sandwiches that feel made with care. Lighter bites sit alongside comforting plates, all echoing the approachable spirit that threads through the space. You can count on good, straightforward flavors that serve the mood rather than overwhelm it.

Behind the bar, the service mirrors the overall feel of the place—friendly and attentive without fuss—ready to help you find just the right refreshment as the evening unfolds. This isn’t a polished spotlight, but rather a warm, genuine backdrop for local stories and new memories to form. Whether you’re in for a casual afternoon bite, a game night with friends, or a lively weekend evening, City Beach offers a sense of belonging that quietly lingers long after you leave.
