Rocketts Landing restaurants are gearing up for another busy holiday season. And while they prepare to wine and dine Richmonders in their riverside celebratory style, they’re also hard at work keeping daily patrons happy. From new menus to tap takeovers to live music, Rocketts Landing restaurants certainly know how to keep things fresh. So, we wanted to give a shout out to new developments happening right now!

They came. They drank. They savored. This past weekend, Richmond Beeristoric stopped by the beer caves at Rocketts Landing down by the banks of the James River and brought with them a group of nearly 100 enthusiastic beer drinkers. Coupled with blue skies and fair temperatures, their visit continued an annual tradition of learning about Rocketts Landing’s role in Richmond’s rich beer history — while sampling some delicious craft beer.

Rocketts Landing is home to a variety of businesses — restaurants, law firms, marketing companies — in our riverfront community along the James River. And thanks to Rocketts Landing resident, Tom Yeaman, our community now includes the new working artists studio, Rocketts Art Studios.

We’re not quite sure how it happened, but somehow, Thanksgiving is already around the corner! And what better way to enjoy the holiday than by gathering with friends and family for Thanksgiving dinner at Rocketts Landing restaurants. Sure, you could toil in the kitchen for hours and hours … or, you could let our riverfront community’s chefs do the cooking for you, so you can spend more time celebrating and less time fretting!

‘Tis the season for gathering with friends and family — and, as usual, our Rocketts Landing residents wasted no time finding an opportunity to get together and have fun! On October 16, the Rocketts Landing residents’ Social Committee hosted its annual fall Oyster Roast and Brunswick Stew gathering. Around 30 people came together for one heck of a fall feast along the banks of the James River.
