Here’s all the restaurant news you need to know or may have missed.
🍷 Revel Market and Bar — a new restaurant and market from the folks behind Julep's — is now open at 6223 Lakeside Ave., nearly four years after it was announced.
"The menu is European inspired. All shared plates. We encourage guests to order several menu items and share," co-owner Amy Cabaniss tells Axios.
Highlights from the opening menu include crispy Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, steamed clams and grilled hanger steak ($6-$20).
- Craft cocktails, wine and beer round out the menu.
On the market side, shoppers will find wine and beer, plus breads, spreads, local jams and chicken and tuna salad.
- Revel is open Tuesday-Saturday from 3-10pm, with happy hour offered weekdays from 3-6pm.
🍻 The Brass Tap — a Florida-based, beer-heavy American fare chain — opened its first Richmond location last week at Libbie Mill Midtown.
- Diners will find 60 beers on tap and a menu of pizza, chicken wings, wraps, burgers, tacos and what we think might be the only cheese curd offering in town.
🚨 Oh, and Acacia is finally fully open for walk-ins (and reservations) at Libbie Mill.
