The main dining area has a stylish, modern feel to it, but the real standout is the upstairs outdoor bar. The bar provides a lovely atmosphere for those who want to relax and enjoy a drink or a bite to eat, with a little fresh air. The menu features an excellent selection of cocktails, craft beers, and wines, as well as a variety of small plates and entrees that are sure to please. Whether you're looking for a romantic date night or just a night out with friends, Postbellum is the perfect place. Don't miss out on this gem in Richmond!

Immediate seating and fast service; street parking available but watch the signs for duration. Food was flavorful, good selection of drinks, very pleased the bartender stopped by the table to confirm types of liquor when making an off-menu drink. The menu does have vegan/vegetarian options but is more limited in selection than some others nearby. Will definitely visit again.

This. Place. Here. O.M.G...... I don't remember what the name of my salad was but it's the one with Watermelon. It's probably seasonal but if you get a chance please try it. There's a burst of flavor in every bite. We also had the wings, (Super yummy) fries ( they are very tiny and if cooked too long they're no good.) The vibes are really chill as we sat on the rooftop at the bar. The sauces are all home-made as well. It's a nice place to have a nice meal. ☺️

A unique spot in RVA. The truffle fries and drink selection pared with the rooftop bar make this a favored hangout. TLDR: This place has a little something for everyone. The drinks are strong and the food has fun flavored twists. The truffle fries and scotch egg are highly recommended. Drinks: Cocktails are a spin on some of the classics. Wine on top of a Whiskey sour is an interesting one. Great craft beer choices as well. Food: Great takes on American style fair. Very slim chance you'll be disappointed. The tendency is for rich and highly flavored foods. Not too much in terms of health here but tasty none the less. Atmosphere: There's a lot of fun flare and decor. Along with a rooftop bar. But things feel a little grimey and it's no to classy in places. This is the places biggest downfall. Not a stopper by any means. Staff: Down to earth and welcoming. They are friendly and really chill. It keeps the relaxed vibe of the place going. If you're looking for special attention or care, imthisbmay not be the place. We've always enjoyed our servers.

Rooftop bar with plenty of indoor seating on those cold or rainy Richmond days. Upbeat music fills the air in this very friendly space which includes two televisions and string lights illuminating the space. The Brussels sprouts (schwarma spice) were delicious, fried and topped with a Tahiti vinaigrette. I thought the pomegranate seeds were going to be too sweet but they paired perfectly with the salty sprouts. I got the Old Cody, which features Makers Mark, ginger syrup and bitters. It was simple and appealing but it tasted watery and had very little else going for it. My fiancé got the Madame Rosemary Geneva Pampelmousse, which rang out with a rosemary syrup along with the gin and grapefruit. It was extremely easy to drink but she felt it could've used even more rosemary.

I really enjoyed my Sunday Brunch experience at Postbellum. Chase the bartender was phenomenal! Didn't write down a thing and still managed to keep 9 orders correct. The Sangria is Strong so be careful..the Shrimp and grits were very tasty but the portion was small for the price. However the blueberry pancakes was a great size.

My family and I were recommended to come here and try out this establishment. And I have to give my honest opinion.. this place was amazing!!!! Me, my mother and my sisters came there on a Saturday at about 2:30 so it was during their brunch hours. We were greeted warmly by the lady at the front desk. She sat us down and gave us some refreshing glasses of water. (She turned out to be the manager Angie) but never even introduced herself as that at first just had a beautiful humble spirit. We then had a new waiter named Michael who I believe that has been working there for about two weeks. He was very knowledgeable and shared his experience of actually working where they get their fresh oysters from and now working I’m the restaurant now. Now to the real reason your reading this review- THE FOOD!!! Delicious is an understatement, everything was so fresh. We all order different things so we could try a variety of things on the menu. Everyone was happy with their dishes. The manager Angie and our waiter Michael would come and check on our table periodically and make sure that we were good with our drinks or anything that we need it. Highlight for me- I had ordered the oysters not knowing they weren’t even available right now (during brunch) but Angie worked her magic and was able to bring us out some oysters for an appetizer and literally anyone and everyone needs to order these heaven sent fresh oysters! We walked around the restaurant just to get a look at it and we checked out the patio and the upstairs rooftop deck and the private space this place is a beautiful establishment! It’s a welcoming fun, young, hip but also classy and welcoming to all ages. We are already planning our visit back during the dinner hours. Going to post some pictures for you guys to look at everything we got (which again was sooo good) and also just want to give a big thank you to the manager Angie and the waiter Michael and even the head chef that stopped by and said something to us as he was walking out. Everyone here on staff is so sweet so kind and really great at what they do I highly highly highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for an amazing place with amazing service!!!

The rooftop bar is very cute! The drinks and food are decent, too. We ordered the berry mule, draft beer, a hot chicken sandwich (it came with fries) and the steak frites. The steak wasn't cooked evenly, but it was dry aged so still decent overall. I don't recommend the hot chicken sandwich (it wasn't hot, for one), the meat was kind of stringy and weird.
