Located along the Historic Canal Walk, Casa Del Barco is Richmond’s newest destination for redefined Mexican cuisine. Entrées such as Beef Barbacoa Enchiladas and Sizzling Fajitas are made with fresh, local ingredients to create an exciting dining experience. Our list of over 130 tequilas (Central Virginia's largest) is still growing and pleases the casual spirit sippers to the most seasoned aficionados. Materials from the historic 1890s Reynolds Metals Italianate building were repurposed into tabletops as well as a ceiling feature that allows guests to sign and hang tequila bottles as they're emptied!

Home to the Woman’s Club since 1900, the Italianate-style Bolling Haxall House was built in 1858 for Bolling Walker Haxall, heir to a flour-milling fortune. It is listed as a Virginia Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house often hosts weddings, special events, business meetings, and musical and theater performances.

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!
