Just off Main Street in the heart of Charlottesville is the Lobby Bar + Restaurant at The Doyle Hotel. The open kitchen design allows restaurant diners to enjoy a sense of connection and engagement with the chefs as they transform local, seasonal ingredients into culinary masterpieces right before their eyes. It’s almost as if every guests gets to enjoy a “chef’s table” experience without the pretense. A glass-walled private dining room overlooks the other side of the Restaurant, striking the perfect balance between privacy and a vibrant restaurant ambiance for its guests. The Restaurant’s courtyard has the feel of a private park just steps from the hustle and bustle of Main Street, as it’s nestled between the main hotel building and two historic houses (which are now also part of The Doyle Hotel).

The Lobby Bar serves as the grand centerpiece of the modern hotel lobby, boasting an oversized bar and extensive intimate lounge seating groups for guests to enjoy. The playful cocktail menu boasts unique, handcrafted takes on classics as well as zero-proof libations using housemade shrubs and elixers.  And not to be missed is the wine list, which not only features a curated collection of worldly wines, but also showcases nationally-acclaimed local wineries, with selections by the glass and the bottle. After just one sip, you’ll understand why Virginia is for (Wine) Lovers.
