Richmonder’s have quickly caught onto the most unique (amazeballs
in my opinion) happy hour in the city.
Every Friday, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts offers half off wine
downstairs in their Best Café from 5:00-8:30 p.m. and free half-hour tours
of the museum at 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. They
call it Friday Art & Wine,
but my group usually misses the art part :) Although last week we did go impulsively check
out the Chihuly exhibit at 8:00 because some people hadn’t seen it yet. It was my second time, but hey, I was sober
the first time so I was just getting a new perspective ;)
It also seems that at least once a month (usually the first Friday of
each month) there is a free wine tasting in the middle of the café (on top of
the discounted wine – DANGER DANGER). If
you’re a member of the museum, you receive a 15% discount on food
purchases. And in the summer, it’s even
better to check out the VMFA happy hour because it’s warm enough for them to
open their deck. Then you can over look
their cool artsy pond, the beautiful sculpture garden, and the rest of
picturesque lawn.
Here’s a little photo recap of my experiences at the VMFA Friday
happy hours.

(They have much better food than this, but this is my favorite snack so BACK OFF)
