"Had a yummy meal here before a show at the Jefferson. Hubs really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich, and the spicy rigatoni was Delicious, especially w/ the added shrimp. Old fashioned needed work, but it was a weekday, probably an off night. The space is very cool and big inside, we’ll definitely go back!"

"Great spot downtown, super busy for the Kentucky Derby but they still sat us immediately and our food was out astonishingly fast. Burger and fried chicken sandwich were both killer. Cocktails are awesome too. Only wish they had a a few more IPAs on tap"

"Really enjoyed this place. The grilled shrimp were great and our bartender Jada makes the best French 75 I’ve ever had."

"BJ was our bartender and he did an incredible job! You can tell that the owner really cares about the quality of food and service. We had the Virginia Gold cocktail, the Nitro Espresso Martini (must try!), and the pretzel, which was delicious. This is a new favorite for us in Cville!"

"The Fitzroy is a standout spot in downtown Charlottesville. Exceptional cocktails—crafted with real care and creativity—set the tone for a great night out. The food is just as impressive, with a menu that balances elevated comfort with bold flavor. The atmosphere ties it all together: stylish without trying too hard, and always welcoming. Whether you’re there for dinner, drinks, or just a night out, The Fitzroy delivers across the board. A must-visit when you’re in town."
