You might have known that the Edgar Allan Poe museum is located in downtown Richmond, Virginia. Yet fewer people realize there’s a delightfully dark Poe-themed restaurant nearby. Poe’s Pub is an Irish tavern in Church Hill with a moody twist. An ode to the poet, this restaurant features clever menu items and decor that you’ll love.

Poe's Pub & Eatery is a beloved establishment in downtown Richmond, Virginia. Fittingly, it's within walking distance from the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, meaning you could easily enjoy an entire Poe-themed day.
