    Went to ToTs for a drink at the end of the day. Typical bar vibe with nice outdoor seating options. Staff was friendly and courteous.

    As long as you aren't belligerently drunk when you're here, (and honestly even if you are) it should be a fantastic time. This is probably THE bar to go to when you're in Blacksburg. I will say though, the line is easily the worst part of the night.

    I think it is one of the most happening places in Blacksburg with so-so music, a good space and seating. It has a small dance floor mostly crammed with people. Best for after party drinks and hangouts.

    Michelle was our waitress. She was amazing and also took really good care of us. I was surprised because I expected the food to be greasy but actually not. My wrap tasted like a home made wrap. I ordered grilled veggies as my side dish and it really tasted super good.
