GWAR, Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, and Tom Robbins spent formative years exploring the residential streets, cobblestoned alleys, hidden parks, and river views that make up the swath of land west of the Capital City's downtown presence. As Virginia Commonwealth University has grown, it's become more and more a part of the surrounding Fan District. The two have housed cultural, gastronomical, and creative forces for years, and their mix of genteel style and gritty energy set the resulting neighborhood apart. Nearby, Hollywood Cemetery brings historic star-power to the area by serving as the resting place of US Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler, in addition to offering killer views of Downtown and the James River.
Beautiful co-working done in a beautiful space.
The furnishings are vintage, the beards and hairstyles are classics, and they curse like sailors, but this isn't your dad's barbershop. Hardcore, rap and metal plays over the speakers while the patrons joke and catch-up, and the barbers skillfully sweep their shears and razors, sculpting tight fades and beard trims. Appointments take 30 minutes but the waiting list is weeks long, so book now or try to drop in when you can.
