Vesper AOctober 9, 2017Concert venue. If you go upstairs there is a really chill bar that serves (limited) food. I got a slice of pizza and was surprised with how filling it was! Easy access to the highway too for travelers
Thomas NelsonAugust 15, 2013They have like 2 bars, a restaurant and a kick-ass music scene that always comes to this place. Great sound system too. What more could you ask for from a good venue?
SMG DesignJanuary 5, 2016Great place to see a show but the sound isn't all that good. You have to get in front of the mixing board if you want to hear it good.

During training camp the National will host various acts like The Dropkick Murphys, Steve Earle & The Dukes and "Uncle Ted" -- the one and only Ted Nugent.- THINK PINK FLOYD BILLYOctober 12, 2016Think Pink Floyd USA would like the opportunity to perform for you during the 2017/18 season. watch the band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L20EDNSw93E THANK YOU (THE BAND) WWW.THINKPINKFLOYD.COM
HollieMay 10, 2015Beautiful venue, unfortunately it was so damn hot. They also had a small smoking area outside, and it just poured smoke in. They should have just let them smoke inside.
FeedbackAugust 3, 2011We're so fortunate to have a such a great venue like this in our hometown! It seems like every act that plays here comes back again... some of the best performances we've seen!

Among the best venues in America. Great sound, great staff, and great partners to XL102. @xl102richmond
Brad ZickafooseOctober 23, 2014Another great music venue in Virginia. If you like The NorVa in Norfolk, you'll love this place.
gungho guides gunghoguides.comSeptember 18, 2011If the bars downstairs are too crowded, make your way upstairs. There's another bar on the right-hand side. You can also order food from the late night menu!- Brian BassettAugust 10, 2018One of the cities best live music venues. Franz Ferdinand plays on Aug 11th!
I've seen a lot of phenomenal shows here. Just wish people would STFU during performances. Why pay good money to get drunk and chat it up with your buddies the whole time?
Most of the balcony upstairs is open to the public and offers a great view of the stage.
- The Flats at West Broad VillageMarch 10, 2015So much fun a the national. Check out the web sight for the next show!
RVA BadgeJanuary 31, 2012Richmond's Premiere 1500 person venue is general admission and offers VIP sections and two private bars upstairs.
ChrisMarch 21, 2010Amazing old theater with great architectural details and history, but face it, we're really all just here to see the show!- The Flats at West Broad VillageFebruary 9, 2015Time to go see a show! Check out the schedule on the National's web page.
Tip for The National. While inbetween bands, don't play songs from the band that's playing tonight.
