Date Night Happy Hours in RVA
Want to treat your boo thang to a nice meal but don’t want to break the bank? Happy hour is a great way to try the fancier side of Richmond without killing your whole paycheck on one meal. Here are some of our favorite happy hours for your next date night:
The Boathouse
Church Hill-Rockett’s Landing, Short Pump-Innsbrook, Brandermill-Woodlake
Wednesday-Friday from 4-6:00 PM
A city stalwart with quality seafood and excellent views (at the Rocket’s Landing & Sunday Park locations). Each day during happy hour there’s a different rotating food special, so you can sample the fare without making a big commitment (let’s save that for your date 😍 ).

Monday-Friday from 2-5:00 PM
Serving up Greek food your Yaya would be proud of, Stella’s is a Richmond fav with a happy hour you’ll want to leave work early for. Let’s just hope the flames between you and your date last longer than the ones on the saganaki.
Bateau
Shockoe Bottom/Slip
Tuesday-Friday from 5-7:00 PM 
If wine is more your person’s thing, Bateau is the way to go. This Shockoe Slip bistro located right along the canal has a massive selection of wine that is discounted during happy hour.
