Name: The Village Café
Address: 1001 West Grace Street, Richmond, VA, 23220

The Village is eclectic and eccentric, always has been and always will be. Never a dull moment! We're a Richmond institution. After being featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” The Village Café has definitely become a destination stop for foodies across the country. Our onion rings are battered in a homemade-mixture of the award-winning Pabst Blue Ribbon and a draft stout, and they never disappoint. Just remember to come in happy and hungry-- we’ll take care of the rest.

We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.
