The Room

One roof. Two ways to spend the evening.

Brass and gold, a cream dining room, a dark-green pub. Upscale Southwest Virginia, with the mountains still in it.

On the left

The Pub

Dark green, cozy, a good bar. Come as you are: a drink at the bar, a steak sandwich, the game on. No dress code.

  • 5 TVs
  • Local beer
  • Full bar
  • Come as you are
On the right

The Dining Room

Brass chandeliers, natural light, Western art on the walls. Candlelit, with great tunes. Relaxed, romantic, and a little elegant. Right for a date night or a celebration.

  • Curated wine list

The Table

Three things, done properly.

Steak

The reason most people drive in. Cooked the way you asked for it, with a red to match.

Seafood

Cooked with the same care as the steaks, and paired just as well.

Cocktails

Your favorites and a curated wine list. Local beer on the pub side, and a full bar that knows how to make what you order.

We'll serve you what you love. Now and then we'll introduce you to something you didn't know you'd like.

The Owners

Friends since 2013.

Trevor and Rob met when they bought a forty-year-old restaurant in Orange County together and rebuilt it. The Blackwater is the second act, in Virginia this time.
