Definitely my favorite bar in Richmond! I love all the decorations and it's never crowded to the point of feeling smothered. That also have booth seating and I've never had an issue finding a place to sit. Drinks are really good too!

Fun dive bar with a great staff. I We went there a couple of times over the weekend and loved it. Wrestling on TV, characters at the bar and good strong drinks.

First off I've driven past Wonderland a few times and always wondered exactly what it was. After I got out of the show I decided I was going to check it out since it was right near the public parking lot that I used. I have to say I am really glad that I did as I walked in I literally felt like I was walking through the door to Wonderland like Alice in Wonderland. Each corner of the bar is filled with Curiosities that will ignite your imagination from the table that's covered in Frank Sinatra memorabilia and quotes to the clowns on the wall everywhere you look you'll see something new and probably will each time you come in there discover something that you didn't see the time before. The service was fantastic I told the gentleman behind the bar that I had a long drive home and couldn't drink and he was more than willing to serve me something that was not alcoholic and make sure I was taken care of. To my knowledge They don't serve food but if you're really hungry there is a pizza place next door. However if you're in the mood for tasty drinks, wonderful service, a distinctly unique ambience, and some of the best punk music in the area this is your place! I hear tell they even have space for live punk music to be played I haven't seen a show yet there but I definitely want to come check it out!

So fun! EXACTLY what you want in a "dive bar". The decorations and motif are so cool--there are black lights and all types of kitschy stuff all around and the main bartender was super chill and cool. He even did an impromptu trivia question (handed out small pieces of paper to vote) with everyone and announced the results on the PA system microphone which was really fun. I was only in town for a few days and this bar was in the neighborhood I was exploring during the evening with a friend--it was recommended to us for a laid back type of "Dive Bar". We had an absolute blast-the clientele was super friendly as well and we ended up chatting with others sitting at the bar. It was a weekday night but there was still a good amount of people in the bar and a perfect place to end the night for sure! The drinks were very reasonable and straight to the point--not somewhere I would go to order a Martini but any type of mixed drink or beers works as well as shots!

I love Wonderland's vibe! It's the type of place that would likely be eerie to see in the daylight, but at night it's a dive in the best of ways. I'd say avoid it if you have a phobia against clowns, otherwise get ready for a trippy, chill vibe. It's located on Main Street in Shockoe Bottom, but don't let the late night police trolling the area deter you. Inside, there's metal music, grit, friendly bar staff, and pretty good drinks. I can't say I've enjoyed them all -- some on their menu are waaaay too sweet for me -- but their lemon drop is always a good choice. It's also a good place for a good gin and tonic. Wonderland is definitely a gem, and I'm sure I'll be back soon.

5 star Five Bar I would say that you can find the best old fashion in Richmond here, as well as the best customer service. It's an immersive art & drinking experience

Went because I thought they had a pool table, stayed because the bartenders were friendly and cool

A dive bar the way dive bars should be! Cool decor, friendly staff, and good, cheap drinks. Went here for Halloween and it was fucking perfect. PS though...they call AMF's "Blue Motorcycles" here

After a boring night in Shockoe bottom, I stumbled upon this wonderland of a restaurant. Not only was the ambience spectacular but the food was also some of the best you can find in Richmond. Staff is incredibly friendly... Almost too friendly. But in a good way. Will definitely be back soon to try the scallops!
