If you’re looking for a cozy spot for a drink and a small plate, The Stables in the Museum District might be right up your alley. With innovative features like vegetarian baked cauliflower wings and a whole list of equine-inspired cocktails, The Stables is one of my new favorites.

 

For something simple but delicious, try Pizza and Beer, now open on Cary Street, just east of the Boulevard. I love the RVA-inspired menu, with drinks cleverly named after local treasures (be sure to try the Maymont Marg!), a VA-focused draft list of 48 beers, and yummy craft pizzas.

 

In the mood for even more craft beer options? Check out the recently opened brewery Canon and Draw, located in the Fan. I can’t wait to sample all of the beers since C & D will be our next-door neighbor when The Steele Group Sotheby's International Realty opens its new office in the Fan!
