Charlottesville Virginia Places to Eat/Drink

Cville 29 blog is a good resource.

What are you looking for though?

Cville has great food, and the second highest restaurant density after NYC.

The Whiskey Jar has a decent kitchen, and an excellent selection of Bourbon and Whiskey. It’s down near the Omni.

Citizen Burger Bar is a good place for a high end burger. Mas Tapas is an amazing. And just five minutes away by Uber. I would also look at Lampo for Neapolitan style Pizza.

Cville has good beer. Devils Backbone is the best local brewer, but you could look at Champion, 3 Notch, and Hardywood.

Hardywood is based out of Richmond, but hey opened a taproom in Cville.

The Local is really good. The downtown mall area is great. If you get over towards campus and the corner I have always enjoyed The Virginian.

The Virginian also has huge sentimental value.

Same here. $2.00 rails on Thursdays will always hold a special place in my heart. That, and the sheer amount of cigarette smoke that was created in those booths.

To answer the OPs question, Cville has a ton of great restaurants and bars. If you are willing to venture 10-15 minutes west of the city in Crozet, hit up Duners for dinner.

It is a laid back spot with really good food. People go there in shorts and jacket and tie, the owners do not care. There's also a decent chance you'll see Howie Long picking up take out (or at least there was 10 years ago when I worked there as a bus boy).

If you're into the "scenic brewery scene," definitely check out Blue Mountain Brewery, which is also west of town. They've got a great outdoor set up if the weather is nice.

Had some drinks and cigar at Millers. Ate at Christian’s Pizza, Citizen Burger and Downtown Grille. All very good.
