These 10 RVA bars are open Thanksgiving night

by | Nov 27, 2014 | POLITICS

For many red-blooded Americans, Thanksgiving is about gathering around the table with family and friends and feeding your faces. And after the table is cleared and the family’s headed home, you’ll probably be in need of a stiff drink, or maybe a place to watch the game.

Or perhaps you have managed to avoid the entire affair.

In any case, there are several respectable establishments in Richmond that would be more than happy to facilitate your Thanksgiving after party/counter-Thanksgiving/Black Friday pre-gaming. Here are ten bars/restaurants where you can get stuffed and sauced.
