GWARbar, located in Richmond, Virginia, offers an electrifying dining experience that merges culinary creativity with the unabashed spirit of the legendary heavy metal band GWAR. With dishes like the Beef Strokinoff Pasta, a decadent combination of beef, mushrooms, and cheesy gravy, priced at $14.75, and innovative options such as build-your-own Scumdogs and Beefcakes, the menu is designed for both adventurous eaters and traditionalists alike. Patrons rave about the vibrant atmosphere adorned with GWAR memorabilia, making every meal a feast for the eyes as much as the palate. Customers like Tyler M. cherish the memorable blend of nostalgia and flavor, while Madalyn Hull appreciates the extensive vegan and vegetarian offerings, highlighting the goodness of pineapple barbecue cauliflower. The consensus among diners is clear: the food surpasses expectations, with juicy burgers like the Baconecutioner and comforting options like the Dirty South Pasta stealing the spotlight. Reviewers commend the friendly staff and engaging ambiance, culminating in a dining experience that feels both casual and festive. As James noted, the thrill of being served by a character from GWAR adds an unforgettable twist. GWARbar is not just a bar and grill; it’s a unique homage to a band that has turned meals into a rock ‘n’ roll celebration.

The food is so good like it really didn't have to be THIS good. The burgers are astronomically delicious. I could just eat the patty in it's own. Super cool staff. Awesome decor. Killer music of course. I can't wait to come back and try ...

Was pretty excited to visit the GWAR Bar & I was not disappointed. GWAR memorabilia splattered all over the walls, tables & ceilings. The food was absolutely delicious. It was also pretty cool that Balsac the Jaws of Death’s human form took our order and delivered us our food. Very friendly & chill environment.

Halloween all year around, as far as the decor is concerned. The BBQ felt like it was cooked all day long. The fries didn’t feel like they were ran over by a salt truck. I love fries, don’t kill them with salt, these guys didn’t, awesome job. Fried Twinkie is everything you’d expect from a county fair!!

This place is GREAT!! Stopped in here on a road trip and I tell ya, that food was tasty!! I HIGHLY suggest eating the bay of pigs sandwich! For real... one of my favorite things I put in my mouth on vacation! The atmosphere is just as fantastic and outlandish as you would expect for GWAR!! So glad we stopped in and experienced this little dive

With the rest of the world moving to much more corporate forms of entertainment, it is nice to spend an evening in a bastion of blood and filth that isn't shy about itself. The staff were a, the food is great (I get the demoned eggs when I go) and the atmosphere is better than ANY themed location.
