Warm, stylish venue for American fare such as steaks, salads & sandwiches, plus ample beer & wine.

Atmosphere is cool, thats about it. Service so so. Seemed like they were preoccupied.
Worst old fashioned ever ever had. Came out way to quick to be made. Guessing it was a mix. Watered down with a bunch or ice cubes. Full orange no peel. Smashed cherry. Again worst old fashioned I’ve ever had. I order short rib rolls. They didnt have much flavor and were extremely greasy. You could taste all oil.
Couldnt leave quick enough. Wish I had sent everything back and left.

We had a welcome party for my daughter’s wedding here and I couldn’t have been happier with everything! Richard was always quick to respond to all my questions, provided several food and capacity options, and was overall very accommodating. The night of the party was wonderful. The venue and atmosphere was very upscale, I loved the music, and the food was great. And the staff took great care of our party. I highly recommend The Fitzroy!

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

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!

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!

Service was fine as well as the atmosphere – chose to get their steak frites instead of the pasta like I normally do….it tasted rather bland. Like meaty water…I don’t like sending food back (especially meats) so I ate most of it and since I was really hungry. It had a few redeeming bites but overall…NOT getting their flavorless steak frites again.

For the nice location and atmosphere, I expected more. The cocktails were very average, and the food was decent but entirely uncreative. Though the venue was nice, the food itself was comparable to Applebees. I will say that the fried chicken got great marks.

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.

The food and drink was delicious but honestly the service was outstanding. I showed up with my two dogs, they were very gracious and let me sit anywhere outside and were so attentive not just to me but also my dogs – the weather was a little sketchy and my dogs were being weird and the lovely service team made them very comfortable and were so very kind to me.
I’d come back for the Mac n cheese any time though!
