This is the most "uncool" bar in Charlottesville, which I think makes it one of the best :) They have a fantastic selection of beers and no pretension what-so-ever. Also- definitely order some wurst and pretzel to go with your beer.

Parks & Nature

RRC is run by our good friends Gabe and Sonya- take a tube, stand up paddle board, kayak, or canoe down the Rivanna River, and enjoy Charlottesville's landscape from a totally new perspective! We take our kids (3&1) down the river as much as possible. It's no Gauley or New River, but it makes for a lovely afternoon.
