If you want to get the party started early, head over to Godfrey’s for their famous drag brunch. Watch the ladies strut their stuff as you enjoy mimosas and banana-stuffed French toast!

Games, Drinks & Munchies at Tang & Biscuit or Bingo Beer Co
Visit the world's largest indoor shuffleboard bar, Tang & Biscuit, for a game of shuffleboard and a Tangtail (a Tang-inspired cocktail). Not only do they have traditional shuffleboard, but they have table shuffleboard and other games, too — giant Jenga, ping pong, cornhole, and more.
Or, if the crew’s feeling an arcade-y environment, make your way to Bingo Beer Co. The spot boasts 12 vintage cabinet video games, pinball, ping pong, and classic “boardwalk games” — plus house-brewed beers, a full-service bar, and plenty of snacks (hi, Hooked Up Tots! We’re thinking of you!).
Tang & Biscuit: 3406 W Moore St (Scott’s Addition) | Hours: Found here
Bingo Beer Co: 2900 W Broad St (Scott’s Addition) | Hours: Found here
Drinks at The HofGarden
If the weather’s nice, The Hof rooftop is definitely where to be. It’s open and spacious, and its outdoor bar is complete with dreamy lighting, too. If the weather’s not-so-nice, the indoor taproom is also a great spot to park it for a drink (or two) with the girls as you kick off your night.
Location: 2818 W Broad St (Scott’s Addition)
Hours: Found here
Dinner at Casa del Barco
Grab your girls for Mexican comfort food and craft margaritas. Casa del Barco is home to more than 130 tequilas — and nothing says “party” like tequila! If your group is thirsty enough to (responsibly) finish a bottle, you can sign and decorate it, and the restaurant will hang it from their ceiling!
After dinner, enjoy a stroll along the Canal Walk, and don’t forget to snap a group photo in front of the murals.
Location: 320 S 12th St (Downtown)

Dancing at Kabana, Get Tight Lounge, or The Jungle Room
Kabana, Richmond’s tallest rooftop and bar, is one great way to end the night in style. Drink some cocktails, watch the sunset, and dance to some great tunes!
If your group is more in the mood for a funky, ‘70s vibe, Get Tight Lounge is your spot. There’s live music, and once you and your dancing queens work up a late-night appetite, there’s a killer menu to peruse, too.
Or if a DJ, a wide-open dance floor, and tiki cocktails are what you’re after, The Jungle Room is where you need to be.
Kabana: 700 E Main St (Downtown) | Hours: Found here
Get Tight Lounge: 1104 W Main St (The Fan) | Hours: Found here
The Jungle Room: 2727 W Broad St (The Fan) | Hours: Found here
Keep the party going!
