The tallies are in, all the votes have been counted, and RVA's own Mekong Restaurant has been crowned the champ one more time.
Beating out over 5,000 competitors for the title, Mekong, with 50 taps and 200 different bottled beers, stood out amongst the crowd. 37,000 votes were cast, but I think we all would have known Mekong to be the best even if they hadn't won.
Here's what we ran on this amazing beer garden when they won our "Best of RVA" poll last fall:
While primarily operating as a Vietnamese restaurant (and a damn good one, at that), everyone in RVA knows that “Mekong is for beer lovers.” Providing an extensive collection of craft beers that is unrivaled in Richmond, owner An Bui’s passion for hops and barley is apparent to all who set foot in the bar area at Mekong, where the friendly atmosphere makes everyone feel like family. Its recognition as the best beer bar in America by craftbeer.com only proves that Richmonders are right to single out Mekong as the place to be for those who love beer.
