Scotts Addition
Once a warehouse zone nobody bothered visiting, Scott's Addition now packs the densest cluster of breweries, cideries, and meaderies in Richmond into a few walkable blocks. The Veil, Ardent, Buskey, Blue Bee, Black Heath - you can crawl the whole thing on foot, which is exactly the appeal and exactly the problem. Weekends mean bachelorette parties and food-truck lines that test patience. The tradeoff is real: convenience and energy versus a scene that has tilted firmly toward visitors. Locals still come, mostly midweek, mostly for the cocktail bars that opened after the breweries proved the zip code.
