Richmond Vault Beer Cellar & Restaurant

One of the area’s best-kept secrets, Richmond Vault offers high quality dining and an amazing array of local and international beers

If you’ve never ventured down the exterior stairs of Richmond Vault, you’ll probably be very surprised. Located under two Georgian buildings, it is far from the gloomy cellar dive that you might expect to find. Rather, it’s a spacious multi-level labyrinth full of cosy nooks and crannies.

Charles Rahbani, the young entrepreneur who co-runs the friendly family business, is a man who really knows his beers – both local and international – and he’s always on the look-out for unique, seasonal ales. The Vault’s bar currently stocks over 80 bottled craft beers and 12 rotational cask or keg ales on tap; customers are always welcome to sample the tap beers before making a final decision on their drink of choice.

In particular, Richmond Vault Beer Cellar & Restaurant focuses on improving and refining the dining experience, adding new dishes to the menu and making sure that all the ingredients are the very best quality. He particularly recommends the mouthwatering Lamb Shank, the BBQ ribs – they are always a favourite – and the Mussels in Four Flavours.

All of these dishes perfectly accompany the huge range of beers; indeed, matching food and beer has become something of a sport among the Vault’s regulars. As well as the excellent food and beers, a superb selection of fine wines and a wide range of tempting cocktails are also always available.
