Hey VA people... I'll be visiting Charlottesville for a long weekend, and wanted to know if anyone can recommend a venue or a specific band for good live music (or other fun stuff). Nothing to wild/crazy, preferably a nicer non-dive place where I could hang out with my wife and have a couple drinks (bonus points for craft beer or local wine!) and hear some good music. Thanks for any help!

Living just north of C'ville, I feel like I should be able to help you more than I can.

Here's a listing of the better music venues, you'll have to check the venue links individually to see what's on the agenda on the dates you'll be in town.

I can personally vouch for "Rapture" (club scene), "The Southern" (popular club/live music scene) and "The Jefferson" (C'ville's version of The 9:30 club), but really most any location on the list will be appropriate for an evening out.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

I just noticed this thread, thought I'd chime in. I live in MD, but most of my gigs are in VA. My band plays outlaw country and classic rock. We will be at Los Toltecos in Winchester on 11/16. Come hang out if you're so inclined.

Welcome to the neighborhood! The Wawa on 17 in Western Branch is my smokes / coffee / restroom stop.

Northern Suffolk is not "Suffolk" Suffolk...and that's a good thing.

Astreaux in Virginia Beach, playing the oceanfront clubs with the Dave Johnson Band. Would like to get a number please!

So no one visits this thread anymore? No bass players in Virginia?

Actually, we came to the collective conclusion that we're all boring-as-hell.

Maybe we can pull off a Tidewater GTG at the end of the season. Neurotictim choreographed the last event and did a great job!
