Where the Friends Characters Would Be Regulars in Richmond
We saw this trend trending with our Northern Virginia neighbors and thought, Could that be any more up our alley?
Chandler
Funny Bone
Any Friends fan knows Miss Chanandler Bong isn’t great with the advice but he can interest you in a sarcastic comment, which is why we’d find him chucklin’ it up at Funny Bone. The comedy club is a go-to for a night out of laughs, libations, and lots more.

Joey
Get Tight Lounge
Joey’s the group’s good-time guy, and he loves the ladies, so we see him enjoying Richmond’s nightlife. Get Tight Lounge’s got food, drinks, music, and it’s open until 2 am — easily a primo set-up for dropping a, “How you doin’?”
Location: 1104 W Main St (The Fan)

Monica
Mise En Place
She’s always the hostess. I mean, even when she was little, the girls brought their dollies to her tea party. She served the best air! Plus, she’s a top chef, and we know based on The One with the Cooking Class, she’d be right at home at Mise En Place.

Phoebe
Tin Pan
According to its site, this spot’s namesake, Tin Pan Alley, “was a time and a place in American musical history — literally an alley in Manhattan between the late 1800s into the 20th century,” and what’s more part of the fabric of America’s musical history than Smelly Cat? Phoebs would fit right in, and her show’s attendees could even channel her regular spot for gigs and order a coffee.

Rachel
Carytown
To this day, The Rachel is my ultimate haircut inspo, and since our fashion girlie loves to shop, we see her walking ~the Mile of Style~ in Carytown, popping into places like Bygones and GlassBoat, then taking in lunch at Can Can Brasserie.

Ross
Science Museum of Virginia
A PhD is just as good as an MD, and if we have a heart attack at SMOV, we would want Ross there with his fossil brush — like, enjoying Ultimate Dinosaurs while we seek medical attention. He’s a dedicated paleontologist; where else in Richmond could he possibly need to be??
Location: 2500 W Broad St (Museum District)
