It’s tough to nail that perfect middle ground between “intimate” and “big enough to attract some major names,” but the Broadberry rules that territory. It’s not a big club by any means, but its stage is spacious and its setup is a notch above the hybrid bar-venue scene. You can get a group together for specialty seating, take a break from the tunes out on the generously sized patio, or stand right up close to the performers, it’s up to you. Touring acts like Wild Nothing and ICP have been able to stop in Richmond because of the Broadberry’s specific size, and now nationally renowned RVA groups like Matthew E. White, Natalie Prass, Lucy Dacus, and No BS Brass Band have a place big enough to house their loyal following when they’re in town.
