Another late-night option has gone dark on Richmond’s Alexandra Road.
Grill Party, the neon-lit Chinese skewer bar, has quietly closed, with no formal statement posted on its social channels.
Peeking through the door, equipment is piled up near the entrance, signaling that the shop closed quite recently.
The BBQ spot debuted in February 2023, leaning into Northeastern Chinese street-food vibes, pulsing signage, and a party-first bar program.
On weeknights, it stayed open until 2AM, stretching to 3AM on weekends, making it one of the few places in Richmond where you could keep the night going after midnight.
The menu ran heavy on shareables: cumin-kissed lamb and beef skewers, sizzling hot-pan specialties, steamed scallops laid over glass noodles, plus a deep list of cocktails and other boozy picks for the table.
Inside, the look was unmistakable: bold neon, wall-to-wall glow, and that “neon city” feel that made late hours feel like a scene.
Its closure trims down yet another hangout from Alexandra Road’s lineup, a strip better known for hot pot, izakaya, and grills that keep the neighborhood buzzing.
There’s been no handover announcement for the unit, and the restaurant’s Instagram bio still lists the address and late-night hours with no closure post.
Tonight, the contrast is hard to miss: the room that once pulsed with magenta light and clinking shot towers is dark, the neon switched off, and another late-night address slips into memory.
Grill Party’s exit follows a run of Richmond changes, including the closures of Chengdu Spicy Restaurant, A Bao Time, and Milkcow.
