Yes, I understand this, but we need to figure out which restaurant, and then not all can handle it. I promise if you tried to call ahead on a Saturday where I work they would just laugh and tell you to wait when you got there. We go to Capital Ale because they're oddly empty on Saturdays. Give me a list of places you'd want to go and I'll be happy to make some calls, but other than that, we're going to Capital Ale.

The Cap Ale in Innsbrook is always empty cause it is surrounded by a business park, not housing. Oh and it is garbage compared to the other 2 in RVA.
We don't all have to sit together....its not like you can actually talk to everyone outside of the group of 5-6 closest to you at a 30ft table.
Some Suggestions....
Kitchen 64
Carytown Burgers and Fries in Lakeside
Carytown Burgers and Fries in Short Pump
Burger Bach Short Pump
Halligans in Short Pump
Mom Siams in Cary Town
Buzz and Neds on Boulevard - If you are hanging around and 21+ you are near about 6 Breweries/Cideries
I can keep em coming if these don't work...
Kitchen 64 is out - "Kitchen 64 is a non-smoking establishment.
Entire party must be present to be seated.
No separate checks for parties of 20 or more."
Looking at prices, what's on the menu and available seating, it seems I've narrowed it down between
Halligans - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehalliganbar.com/locations/short-pump/">http://www.thehalliganbar.com/locations/short-pump/</a><!-- m -->
Carytown - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carytownburgers.com/">http://www.carytownburgers.com/</a><!-- m -->
Buzz and Ned's - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://buzandneds.com/">https://buzandneds.com/</a><!-- m -->
Which of those is bigger? I really don't want anyone to have to wait. We just need it to be simple to get there and eat and have everyone being able to talk. If we do somewhere where we split into small groups, then new students aren't hearing what the alums have to say. The appeal of one big table is you get stuck with new people.
The buzz and Ned's on broad is probably bigger. Maybe? Idr the boulevard ones inside size though. Idk. Ive only been to halligans on New year's Eve and it was a shitty experience but so is everywhere on New year's Eve.
I guess you want to stay near 64 or 295 so everyone can jump back on the highway after?

Yes
Why not just Cap Ale in Innsbrook?

Okay, I'd knock carytown burgers off the list. No place to really sit and no place to really park.

Sure, no one was there but we didn't have to deal with waiting, had good service because no one was there, they split checks no problem, had a good beer selection, etc... Don't know why I'm even typing this because I have to drive up to that dark place to the North right after karting.
don't rule out Cap Ale just cause Polecat hates everything. I'm down for Cap Ale, just thought id throw other options out there.

I keep seeing all these great looking places to eat in Richmond thanks to you and everyone else there and you guys wanna stick us with a typical chain. I'm a foodie, I can't help it. Take me to that mexican or greek place you posted on instagram :thumbup:

Alls I'm sayin' is, I remember we used to eat at places in Short Pump that were still convenient, and didn't feel like we were eating in the back of a morgue. Of course we'd all be eating with good people, but having some atmosphere is good too, nomsayin?
If you all want Short Pump I'd recommend BJ's at Short Pump. Sat over 20 of us from Cap One with no issue with a reservation/call-ahead.
Edit: Also Plaza Azteca is solid. Never had a really big party only like 10 people so not sure there.

Come down anytime you want man. We can go to all the awesome places in Richmond. Drink something other than Natty Bo and eat more than a crab cake sammich.
Plenty of places to eat if we don't wanna sit 30 people together.

I'd really like to keep as many people as possible together. Get the new and old people together. We all know smaller groups will end up being people that know each other unless someone (alumni) make an effort to split up and take on new people. Even then, new members are really only meeting one or two new people.
