Great food, great place, great people. The Big Wink 32oz schooners of beer are phenomenal. There is an outdoor area, complete with service, that is available.
My first time here. I had the smash burger with the garden salad and was all delicious. The vegetables in the salad were very crisp and were dressed in the perfect amount of balsamic vinegar. To drink I had the McCloud 9. Dessert was the lava cake which was presented beautifully amongst a couple of ice cream sandwiches and whipped cream. The live music I was told wasn't there every day but since it was a Friday I was pleasantly surprised. The ladies' room was very clean and the lighting in the entire building was enough in each area to fit that area's needs. Dimmer lighting in the dining area was relaxing and I also enjoyed the color-changing lights.
Winks gets 5 Stars every day of the week. I have NEVER been to Winks and been disappointed. Their support of the FCSSC and their events are always amazing. Tuesday nights are a blast with Brandon Eedy overtaking the bar for Rock and Roll Bingo (don’t worry. Shazam is allowed if you only listen to country music)
Excellent food. I never had a bad experience at Winks. Really good specials. It’s a real fun place. If you’re into meat. The carnivore platter is definitely worth ordering. They also have a fine selection of beer on bottle and on tap.
Waited over 25 minutes for food, only to receive cold food. Spoke to the "manager" Rachel and I use that term loosely as she was probably one of the most unprofessional servers I have ever encountered. I attempted to speak to her about her lack of professionalism and she proceeded to tell me I was causing a scene when I didn't even raise my voice once. We ended up leaving without finishing our meal. After over 15 years of enjoying this establishment I won't be back. Very disheartening as I have loved this place but if this is the kind of staff they are hiring now not worth going to.
What a great spot! Patio is a cozy hang out. Loads of drink and food selection. Fast friendly service. We gathered after a Gremlin’s Thursday night ride and even with the size of our group, and rain near the end, the team smiled and wished us well while they served quick and efficiently. Thank you!
Great pub with great food unfortunately its a very able-bodied establishment with little concern for people of limited mobility. Maneuvering through the establishment to get to seating areas is like navigating a mine field
Been going to winks for years. The main bartender, Nate is amazing. The servers are all very friendly and efficient. I’ve been in the industry over a decade and winks is my choice every night I want to head downtown. Their food is great. Big portions, quality and unique compared to other Richmond row bars. This is also a bar that is considerate of the well being of their guests. Any mishaps are taken care of asap, you’ll feel safe here.
I have gone here more than once as part of get togethers with my political party on election nights and the place has proven a lively place for such occasions. While I don't have much incentive to go there for ordinary times, it is still a good place to keep in mind for a sit-down meal.
Poor service, took a while for our food when it wasn’t busy, server sydney mixed up orders, didnt check on us or top up bottomless coffee. Will come back but with lower expectations.
Service was excellent- very accommodating to folks on a limited schedule. Food is standard pub fare, competently done - a little heavy on the salad dressing. Atmosphere was good - not too loud to have conversation over dinner.
First time here, went for the girlfriend's 19th birthday. The food and drinks were very good, just took for EVER to check up on us, and get the food to us. Wasn't super busy but it w as a a Friday, other than taking a long time, we had lots of fun
St. Paddy's Day. What a great time! Nice decor. Outdoor patio. Next time will have lunch. We only had nachos. Excellent service. Friendly crew. Laid back atmosphere. Near Victoria Park.
