One of our favorite restaurants in Richmond is closing its doors. No word on what their future plans might be, but the following statement is from the family.

Dear Friends,

It is with the greatest gratitude and friendship that we are writing to tell you, “THANK YOU” for supporting Nile for the past nine years. We have had a pleasure of serving not only our fellow Richmonders, but our not so near-by neighbors as far as Virginia Beach to Alexandria for almost a decade. While we have had an amazing run at our current location, Nile will be closing its doors at 309 N. Laurel Street on July 13th.

While we will all miss the building with a lot of character: including the hole in the wall and probably the smallest bathrooms in Richmond, we shall remember all the amazing dinners, cocktails, laughs, shows and dancing we had shared in this lovely space. Moreover, Nile’s story is not over.

Stay tuned as there will be some exciting news update as to Nile’s next adventure coming real soon. So, let the countdown begin.

Warmly,
Nile Family

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
