Exciting New Ventures in Richmond: Blue Stallion Brewing Co. Joins the Fun!
Richmond, get ready to celebrate because there’s a new hotspot in town! As of late 2023, Blue Stallion Brewing Co. has officially made its grand entrance into Richmond, and locals couldn’t be more thrilled. This ambitious move is part of a larger initiative to transform downtown Richmond into a vibrant dining and entertainment district, affectionately dubbed “The Quarter.”
A Taste of New Orleans Right Here in Richmond
What’s in a name, you ask? The Quarter takes its inspiration from the stunning wrought iron balconies reminiscent of those found in New Orleans’ French Quarter. By the time you step into this revamped part of town, you might just forget you’re not in a big city. Opened in late December, The Quarter is quickly becoming the place to see and be seen.
The new venue features Blue Stallion Brewing Co., alongside other tempting spots like Apollo Pizza. Excitingly, it will soon welcome House of ‘Cue and Holler Burger to the mix. This development aims to foster a lively atmosphere, bringing together family-friendly spaces, amazing food options, and a buzzing nightlife scene.
Blue Stallion Brewing Co. Sets Up Shop
Blue Stallion’s Richmond taproom is nestled at 212 W. Water St., occupying the former Copper Still bar building. It’s designed for community connection and fun. Currently, you can choose from a lineup of 16 beer creations on tap. Beer enthusiasts will find some exciting options, including Dunkel, Hefeweizen seltzers, and a collaborative brew known as ARTLAB made in partnership with Dreaming Creek Brewery. Not to forget, there’s also Country Boy’s hard cider to sip on!
Innovative Ordering Experience
One particularly nifty feature of The Quarter is its approach to ordering. Say goodbye to long lines and say hello to self-serve ordering kiosks and a convenient pick-up window for Holler Burger, which is expected to open its doors in late February. Holler Burger will delight patrons with an array of deliciousness, including mouth-watering burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-cut fries, named after one of their most popular offerings at House of ‘Cue.
And as if that weren’t enough, House of ‘Cue itself is poised to return to the Richmond food scene and is slated to open in the summer after undergoing some renovations. With the integration of QR codes for ordering and payments, selecting your favorites from various eateries is set to be as simple as a few taps on your phone screen.
A Place for Fun and Games
The Quarter isn’t just about food and drink; it’s designed to be a lively entertainment experience as well. Expect a festival-like atmosphere as visitors enjoy a range of games, including cornhole, dart boards, and cozy fire pits to gather around. Future plans include outdoor activities such as washers, trivia nights, yoga sessions, and even potential live music as we make our way into spring.
Rejuvenating Richmond’s Nightlife
The initiative aims to attract everyone from families to retirees and college students, all stepping back into the vibrant nightlife that Richmond was once famous for in the 1980s and early 1990s. To aid in this transformation, Blue Stallion has established operating hours from 4-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 4-10 p.m. on Fridays, noon-10 p.m. on Saturdays, and 1-9 p.m. on Sundays. And, as Holler Burger opens up, those hours are expected to expand to include lunchtime options.
Richmond is on its way to becoming a lively hub of social activity once more, and with the arrival of Blue Stallion Brewing Co. and its newest neighbors, it seems the future looks bright indeed.
