Virginia Cafe’s bar stool crawl tonight!
The Virginia Cafe will be closing its doors this evening at their original location since 1914. The building they have been in for so long is being demolished for a new office tower. But the VC is not closing. They have remodeled a space a couple of blocks away and will be doing a ceremonial “bar stool crawl” tonight. Sometime during happy hour, they will give the sign and you pick up your bar stool and wander up to the new location.
Also, this is probably the last day/evening to smoke it up at the VC. When I was there on Friday, one guy came in and thanked the gods for a place where he could smoke. If you’re a smoker, as the VC’s signs say – “Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.”

I can’t even tell you how excited I am about a nonsmoking Virginia Cafe! Woo hoo! I’ll miss the old VC, but I’m thrilled with their new location. Let’s just hope it feels homey.
I’m a little confused though. What happens after the bar stool crawl? Does the old VC stay open through the evening? Will the new VC be open tonight?
I love the VC. I’m so glad it’s just moving and not closing down… we lose too many good places around here.
Did anyone here go to this? I couldn’t make it but would love to know how it went down. :)
