Level Up Your Date Night: Explore The Park RVA’s New West End Wine Bar

The Park RVA (@theparkrva) has given one of their bars a MAJOR UPGRADE with the newly opened West End wine bar and tapas concept (@westend.theparkrva)! 🍷🥟🌿 A few months ago, I got a sneak peak of their menu and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience! They serve a contemporary Spanish tapas style menu along with elevated wines and cocktails.



Here are some of the menu items I tried:


🥗 Burrata Salad // arugula, arcadian lettuce, burrata, toasted pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, pickled fresno peppers, and watermelon gazpacho vinaigrette


🥟 Empanadas // pulled beef, piquillo pepper, and lime crema


🥮 Polenta Cakes // fried polenta, fontina, lobster sherry cream sauce, bay scallops, parsley


🧀 Charcuterie // seasonal meats, rotating cheese assortment, jam, sourdough


🍣 Tuna Ceviche // tuna, avocado, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, lime, cilantro


🍤 Garlic Shrimp // tail-on shrimp, olive oil, chili peppers, garlic (not pictured)


🥃 Roxanne // strawberry and pineapple washed campari, london dry gin, lo-fi amaro, cacao bitters


🍰 Olive Oil Cake // with orange and cardamom


My favorite tapas dishes were definitely the burrata salad, polenta cakes, and tuna ceviche…I’d never eaten anything like those IN MY LIFE so it was like an explosion of new flavors in my mouth! 👅 I can’t wait to go back and try all the new things they added to the menu like focaccia, meatballs, and patatas bravas. If you are trying to level up your next date night spot, pick the West End bar at The Park RVA! It is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat and then take advantage of all the games right at your fingertips. The Park RVA also recently opened their own night club and hookah lounge called The Hideaway (@hideaway.theparkrva) so that would be the perfect way to end the night. It’s so wild to me that there’s now a place in Richmond where you can eat dinner, sip some drinks, play games, and dance at the club…all in ONE building! 🤯


Address: 1407 Cummings Dr, Richmond, VA 23220

🗓️ Open Wed-Fri 5-10PM and Sat 3-10PM

🍷 Wine Down Wednesday deals: half off select wines and $6 seasonal sangria.
