In The Heat Of The Night Vol. 8: Its Hot AF Out There

by | Jul 28, 2023 | MUSIC

Richmond’s summer night scene? Its never done and with the weather, its actually sizzling. Shoutout to our friends at Bingo! Beer Co. for partnering with us on this series. You’ve gotta give this nightlife diamond a whirl, and their lager? Hell, it’s pretty good.

Alright, this past week, our resident photog, Jody Adams, made the rounds. Checked out new music spot, Ember Music Hall, for an OOKAY set that was buzzin’. Also hit up our local cantina, Banditos Burritos Lounge, swung by Hardywood for the Gotta Gofest and peeped @hiscorehappyhour and @grumpysnorlax do their thing.

Think you’ve got an eye for capturing Richmond’s kinetic nightlife? Drop us a line at hello@rvamag.com. We’re always scouting for fresh talent ready to frame the city’s after-dark energy.
