Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gather & Hem Bar offers an inviting atmosphere with "top notch" drinks crafted by skilled bartenders like VQ. Their charcuterie board is a "delicious sampling" of local flavors. While the ambiance is charming, patrons note the slow service and limited food options. Ideal for drinks and appetizers before nearby events.

    Love this place!!! Elegant, modern cocktail bar walking distance from the theatres and hot spots in Richmond. Highly recommend for elevated sharing plates and the most delicious craft cocktails. We got the martini tree (basically a sampler of fun twists on martinis) and split the Virginia Peanut Hummus (yum!), the wagyu poutine (double yum) and the lamb lollipops. The flavor was aaaaamazing. Can’t wait to come back for their weekly Jazz Nights!

    This was a very pleasant experience. My server, Ladaijia, was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great food and drink recommendations. Absolutely loved the Gatsby. The lamp chops were delicious although I wish I was given a few more with how much I paid for them.

    We have been meaning to try this place for a while. Glad we did. Drinks were top notch, VQ the bartender and Megan our server were excellent with their suggestions. The charcuterie board was a delicious sampling of local meats, cheeses and veggies. Relaxing on one of the comfortable couches was the perfect way to start our evening.

    Really not a place for dinner - instead, a nice hotel bar with premium bar food (charcuterie, sliders, et.) Service was slow.

    Service was very slow.., been there twice now and only ever 1 cook in the kitchen… food is never fast and at times not hot. They have a weird practice where 5 of us split tab equally to treat a friend for her birthday yet, after we did that, one of the 5 of us saw 285 charge on card… was told by manager charge would not go through…, they put that hold on first card which is weird since another of the five provided a card at the beginning. Nice cocktails and atmosphere however food wait time and issues with billing make me rate this lowered on my return list.

    Left hungry. No food after more than an hour of waiting when it wasn't busy. Asked about food after 45 minutes, waitress said they would have the manager check on it. After another 20 minutes manager drops food at a table that had just sat down and ordered. I raised the issue, and manager says they must have lost the ticket. Not a good anniversary experience.
