Fan & uptown bars/restaurants. The scene here is a little more laid back than downtown, with mainly young professionals and college folks. Some spots are hipster, some are preppy.

Good (somewhat pricey) pizza in Shockoe bottom. To park, I recommend you go further downtown (passing it on your right) a couple of blocks and walk. Much easier and free street parking. Read signs.

Essentially the first-class of movie theaters. About $2 more expensive per ticket (well worth it in my opinion). Food is pricey, maybe eat beforehand and just have drinks. Can drink in theater.
