Hollywood Cemetery is also frequented by many of
the local students attending Virginia

tiny and simple store is one of a
handful of record and apparel stores
that were so plentiful in years past. If you want to transport

Punk, and Metal kids hung out for hours looking through bins and bins of records
and shopping for their favorite band's
latest tour tee-shirt, then this gem of
a store, located in the Scott's Addition part of town, should not be passed up! These are the types of local
shops we all need to continue to
support!!!
What to expect:"GWAR is known throughout the Universe for their bloody stage show, irreverent humor and high volume metal/punk, but for years they wanted a fresh way to torture mankind… the service industry! In 2015 GWAR joined forces with Travis Croxton, Richmond’s “Restaurateur of the Year 2014″, to create a menu and cocktail program unlike any other. Michael Derks, better known as BalSac the Jaws ‘o Death, brought his 30+ years of restaurant experience to the table and together the team put together a bar and restaurant like no other. GWARBar has continued to be a fantasy land of food and beverage, catering to everyone from local punk metal freaks, rock stars, businessmen, celebrity chefs and starving artists. The bar has retained it’s status as a late night hub, a neighborhood watering hole and a place for like minded adventurers to crush beers and enjoy culinary feats."
