Generations Grill & Sports Bar

This place is interesting....it's a huge old building which was apparently once a train station (this being the "Depot District). Massively high ceilings, two stories including an elevated train platform. Parts of old train cars make up part of it and the main barroom floor comes from a basketball court! The outside is covered with cool mural paintings. On our first visit it was a little tricky to find the door.All those big TV screens and tons of sport related decor, as you'd expect for a sports bar, but the lighting is rather low, which I liked.The menu is more typical family restaurant, much more than bar food. The salads were simple and fresh and the lettuce was crispy iceberg. I had spaghetti and meatballs, requested and received a shaker of parmesan. The dish needed a little salt but was tasty and satisfying. My husband had a sirloin which he thought was cooked a little beyond the requested medium rare, but it was tender and tasty so he was a happy camper. Service was friendly, sweet and prompt.They have NFL Sunday Ticket and TouchTunes jukebox. I saw a full size shuffleboard and would like to come back to play that. There's a pool table in the other dining room. One tall beer, one shot, one soda, two entrees, 40 bucks. Recommended for an inexpensive satisfying meal, plus the historical setting.

Basics: plenty of free parking, plenty of tV's to watch sports, cool memorabilia on the walls and plenty of seating for groups. This is a bar, so only 21 and up. We each got the three piece chicken dinner. We have REALLY high chicken standards. I would give the chicken a 3 out of 5. It was cooked through, crisp and juicy, but no seasoning. I took chicken off bone with fork and dipped in ranch and that took it to a 5 out of 5. They did let us switch of sides and I got the loaded baked potato. The loaded baked was AMAZING with cheese and bacon! The peel was so good and crisp, I ate the entire thing skin and all. I tried the mashed potatoes and gravy and they were very good. The bar tender was fast and attentive. Great choice for a sports bar to watch a game. They are known for their pizza, I will try that next time.

I came to Generations Grill and Sports Bar when my normal Friday night activity was not taking place. I went for supper and stayed for the show. I ordered the Patty Melt, Onion Rings, and Coke Zero. It was delicious! The sandwich and onion rings was hot and excellent. The featured band was the Sean Lamb Janet Miller Band. They were okay, but I wished they played songs that picked it up some. He even made comments about playing songs by the Captain and Tennille, which he really didn't want to do. What's wrong with Love Will Keep Us Together? That would have picked it up. The music was acoustic. There was no place for people to dance, but one member of the audience got up and danced. I am willing to give the band another chance when they play at another location next week. My activity has different bands each week, and it varies each week, and each place, including here. The food is worth trying, and I am willing to go back when they have another band.

Awesome sports bar filled with lots of local and state sports memorabilia. The floor is made from local high schools previous gymnasium floor. So much to see and definitely offers a really unique experience locally. Great place to dine, have drinks, and catch a game!

Do Not recommend. We can here to watch March Madness. We came here because it wasn't busy. That is usually a bad sign. The beer was fine. The service was fine. The atmosphere was okay-a bit dusty. The food....awful. We didn't even get anything fancy. Wings, potato skins, and chicken tenders. The basket was supposed to have onion rings too, but we didn't get those. The chicken tasted frozen and old. My stomach later the confirmed as much. Stay away!

Excellent food and service! Brooke is amazing. We came here for Fourth of July and sat on the patio. Food was excellent. Quick, fast, hot! We will definitely make this a regular.

OMG the bartender Shay is amazing and their sand volleyball pit is so fun. All my friends and I hang out and play. Food is delicious and the people are there are so fun! Would recommend to anyone in the Richmond area!
