1104 W Main Street, Richmond, VA
For a self-proclaimed lounge with a relaxed setting and surprisingly ample outdoor space, Get Tight is a fun spot near VCU campus that attracts a crowd of all age ranges. The bar area is groovy at night with its central piece being a disco ball. The food is good for what this place is, the drinks are great.
The hustle and bustle of Main Street is able to be absorbed by those sitting near the front windows, which of course allows for interesting people watching. One of my favorite snacks to get here on a night out drinking is the Frito pie, which includes chili, sour cream, and pickled jalapeño to name a few ingredients. The food pictured below is a beet salad, complete with goat cheese and a citrus vinaigrette that tied all the flavors together beautifully. I also got a frozen oaxacan coffee that was a total treat.
I love how you can order a singular pickled egg if you want a literal quick bite snack. The items on the menu are often light but fun. The happy hour is quite nice, especially for beer drinkers. The backyard area is a cool option on a mellow, warm evening to kick back with some cold ones and some friends. For a spot that isn't trying to be something it isn't and is absolutely unpretentious, Get Tight is the move. Catch me under the disco ball scarfing down a Frito pie, I reckon I'd be happy as a clam.
