Hokie House Restaurant — Restaurant in Blacksburg

My friend and I went to HH on a game weekend. As soon as the bouncer saw my friend's ID, he said "if this is fake, you might as well get out!". We were so confused as to why he was so aggressive with us, especially considering that we both were sober. After staring at my friend's license, he said we have to wait until his manager comes to look at the ID. We waited for 5 minutes for this other guy to arrive just for him to look at the ID for 1 second and tell us we were fine. I watched as the bouncer let other people through and did not question another person's out of state ID nor did they receive the same aggressive disclaimer. After feeling very uncomfortable from the experience, we decided we wanted to leave. The second guy proceeded to say "what? you guys were only waiting for a minute", gaslighting us immediately. My friend left before me highly upset and as I turned my back to follow her, the second guy proceeds to stay "okay, be like that then!". I held my composure up until that point. Not only did they set the tone by being extremely rude to us upon entry but proceeded to antagonize us because we wanted to leave. As a double Hokie, the situation was so ridiculous and saddening overall. This place used to be one of my favorite bars in Blacksburg, but now I will no longer step foot there. Their unnecessary aggression towards paying customers was insane. Neither my friend nor I had a problem with getting her license double checked, but what we DID have a problem with was their tone, excessive aggression, and disrespect once we decided to leave the establishment. I've lived in Blacksburg for almost 10 years and never experienced anything like...

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.” While it’s impossible to prove, I’m almost positive she was talking about Hokie House Restaurant.

Once I learned to breath and just let go, I was consumed by the decadent atmosphere of this establishment. The beer was cold and the servers were even colder, with one proclaiming I was a “lil dilweed” for wanting a straw for my PBR. I let go of my shame in that very moment, embracing my newfound confidence as not just A lil dilweed, but THE Lil Dilweed. Hokie House changed me, and THAT I can...

Went to Hokie House countless times in college at VT but can only speak to their drinks selection.

They’ve got a great and fun atmosphere on the second floor with darts, pool tables, and loud music. It’s always packed and always a great time.

If you’re looking for a great drink, get a Grateful Dead. It’s my favorite drink, and I’ve tried to recreate it to this day without success.

Had one bad experience one time where a bouncer almost snapped my Pennsylvania ID in half because he didn’t know they didn’t bend like the Virginia ones. Beware Pennsylvanians! Overall...
