Are there any good hiphop clubs or lounges to go to in downtown richmond, or surrounding areas? I'm 21 single male, and thinking about attending VCU, so just wanted to know?

21 and older, for the grown and sexy like (No t-shirts), but still for people that like to dance, and not looking to shoot up the place because someone bumped into them.

It's pretty segregated in Richmond. Do you want:

A. Punk/Hardcore/Hipster
B. Black People/HipHop
C. Salsa/Spanish/Jazz
D. Preppy/Mostly White

What exactly are you looking for? What group do you fit into?

I'd prefer "black people/Hiphop", thats what I relate to the most, but also "salsa/spanish/jazz", I wouldn't mind checkin that out as well. Can you expand upon the places or things that pertain to these two.

The African American nightlife in Richmond leaves a lot to be desired. Basically there is no decent night spot that is not full of tired, lame individuals. I attended undergrad in Richmond and I still reside here. There used to be so much more to offer but all of the decent spots end up being closed down or taken over by the less desirable folk (ghetto). I would stick to the college/alumni events, bars, or travel to DC to party. There are two decent bars that come to mind, Stool Pigeons and Popkins Tavern. Both are downtown and have a mixed crowd.

I'm not black, but:

I think "Black Finn" has a hiphop night.
There is a place on main st. called "The Martini Kitchen & Bubble Bar"
There is one club next to VCU on Harrison/Broad intersection called 828 or something, which is a black only club I believe. Not sure what you will find there though.

I know what you're talking about and it is pretty ridiculous. You might have to drive up north (D.C.) from what I hear.

It would be nice if there were more upscale AA spots.
