I really enjoyed the food. Loved the Jambalaya. It's not real Cajun hot! But lot's of flavor to rave about!. There's plenty of food for the noncajuns that you'll love too!
Very good bartenders and wait staff!. it's small and that it what really makes Thirsty's terrific. It's really worth to give it a try!. You'll be back! I'm sure of that. Good parking available too!
The food was awesome. I got the Cajun Mac and cheese with chicken. A friend I was with got the bourbon street chicken. Both were delicious. Only downfall was with the bourbon street chicken. It came as a sandwich and you couldn’t really eat it as a sandwich because the juices from the chicken made the bread to soggy. Otherwise A+. The drink prices aren’t to steep and the place was cutely decorated. The bartenders were great. Friendly and attentive. I didn’t have to wait super long to order and got my order fairly quickly. I will definitely be going back �
Also, the house pickles were the bomb!
This is the most fun new spot on Forest Hill! Great new bar, and outside space. I’ve only had a couple items off the menu, but so far the food has been really great too!
Came here twice to bring some friends, great place to catch up over some food and drinks the happy hour prices are great, the hours are long, and the alcohol keeps flowing. Get the Cajun wings and a beer!
It is a small venue, but packs a punch in flavor and friendly service! The gumbo was yummy.
Love this little gem. Amazing crawfish queso, gumbo as good as my own and the bananas foster bread pudding is righteous. You NEED to try this place! You'll keep coming back.
Great place!! Friendly staff, great drinks, even bettrr food!!
Great Jambalaya with just the right amount of heat! Give this place a try, and keep 'em in business...

The Food was great!! Tried the Crawfish Queso and Beef tacos on Taco Tuesday! It was great the music was fabulous and a very chill environment!
What an awesome place to gather, meet new friends and party. Good food, and excellent bubbly!
Great food, decent prices. Friendly staff, good atmosphere.
Never had alligator, and it was amazing! Wonderfully prepared, great happy hour and made a plot of new friends playing Jenga
Warm homey environment, delicious food, festive, fun atmosphere. A great addition to our community.
The best gumbo in RVA! Good drinks, and friendly service.
Awesomeness ,the music, atmosphere, bar tenders, food. Perfect little get away
Small, quaint, illuminated bar. They offer a nice variety of beers and have Mario Cart on the tv, ready to be played by customers all the time. The staff were attentive and kind. I recommend checking out Thirsty's.
My absolute favorite bar in Richmond. The owners are great people, the patrons are very friendly, and they have a variety of different themes and entertainment to keep you coming back
Drag shows, karaoke, theme nights, and vinyl nights all bring a variety of people in. You’d be hard pressed to find a day that doesn’t appeal to you.
Be warned, the drinks are strong. That’s a good thing but it’s something that you need to know before coming here.
So much fun! Our first time in we had anticipated one drink each and leaving.. That didn't happen due to the awesome and upbeat environment! After we both had multiple drinks and a few appetizers, we left three hours later! They also had Kareoke going on and there was never a dull moment. Great staff and just as welcoming regulars.. We will def be back! Thank you for a great time Thirsty's!
Love their bathroom sign! Lovely staff and chef, food was okay but burgers were delicious! Try their gator burger. Delicious freshly made mozzarella cheese. Drinks were awesome too. Awesome atmosphere and easy to find place. Not many parking spaces due to it being in a corner.
I think the aesthetic is Bourbon Street dive bar. They use folding tables and chairs for lunchtime, so it's definitely not the best scene if you're looking for a touch of elegance with your meal, but the jambalaya was good with a touch of Cajun heat (I personally would like a bit more of the meats, but it was okay) and the side of fries with garlic and rosemary was a generous basket with lots of seasoning. My friend got a bourbon chicken po'boy which she enjoyed. It wasn't so overstuffed that she couldn't pick it up, which she appreciated. The beer selection is varied and fun, and we loved the eclectic music selection that was playing.
Very nice staff, the food is excellent, especially the alligator burger! The owner is awesome and always onsite. The staff is friendly and you are treated like a regular the second you walk into the bar. They have a full kitchen and the online juke box is always playing something good!! Oh and the blueberry mimosa is awesome!!! Check it out!
Fun bar with a cool vibe, great staff, and decent semi elevated bar food. Definitely a LGBTQIA safe space with themed nights, drag shows, and community sponsorships!
Great night meeting old friends and making new ones. Had a ball (or two), it was nutz. Lots to see and do... ! Great DJ
Thirstys is a great dive bar great prices staff and atmosphere give it a try. The bar staff is great and the food is pretty tasty “loaded tater tots or fry’s is my go to” the trash can is great too nice pours and a good value give it a try you won’t be let down!
Leather night was pretty cool ran into some old friends from eons ago... great spot!
Overall great neighborhood bar. From a happy hour until late night, I have always had fun. Reasonable prices, and outdoor patio. Service is polite. Owners are great.
I love this place. Good service, great beer, awesome food (especially for a dive bar!) Their cajun mac and cheese and gator bites are fantastic. And you can tell their alligator is RADICAL because of his sunglasses.
The staff is always friendly and amazing. The mozz sticks and sauce are really delicious, haven't tried any other food yet (we go for the drinks ;) I really appreciate the patio since I'm still kinda hesitant to be indoors with groups of people. Definitely a great place to kick back after work and feel safe and comfortable.
I found this place by happy accident. A friend and I were just looking for a happy hour before meeting other friends for dinner. What we found were fantastic drinks, delicious appetizers, and a great vibe. This may have been my first visit but it certainly won't be my last.
My besties brothers bar and I would have expected nothing less, funky and fun! Seems like a hoppin place and they even have some tasty late night munchies. Have to go try a 🍤 Po' Boy some time since it's also New Orleans themed which I did not know until arrival.
The best drag in Richmond IMHO every Wednesday night at 9:30 hosted by Richmond's most important queen Chicki Parm. Cheap drinks, great food, great bar staff, fun crowd. There's a different crowd for different theme nights but it's always a good time.
