M MTop of the Stairs is an absolute staple in Blacksburg — a place you have to visit at least once if you’re anywhere near Virginia Tech. The atmosphere is lively, fun, and full of that classic college-town energy. Whether you’re grabbing drinks with friends, watching a game, or just hanging out on the iconic steps, TOTS always delivers a great night. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced, the bar food hits the spot, and the service is quick even when the place gets packed. Their signature drinks and pitchers are legendary, and the vibe is perfect for both students and alumni looking to relive old memories. If you’re looking for the best bar experience near VT, Top of the Stairs is a must-go. Great crowd, great drinks, great environment — it’s one of those places that defines the Blacksburg experience.

CH “CH”This place was great. We sat outside and Keely was our server! She was so friendly and answered our many questions with a smile. It's been a loooooong time since we've eaten somewhere that everything ordered was PHENOMENAL! Usually stuff tastes like frozen bar food...not here!! We got the hot pimento dip with chips and pickles. There are no words to described how delicious and unique this was. There were 3 in our party - we each ordered different items... and each entree was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. You must try this place.

Sissi QueenMichelle 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.

Mason ConnerThe best bar in town by far. The best place to have a drink, meet people, dance, and enjoy the company of friends all in the same spot. It is the best in the warmer months when the patio is full. Fair prices for being the premier bar in Blacksburg. Beware of the rail:not for taste but for feeling. Very friendly staff. Have made countless memories here over the years. I will say, the DJ needs to change the setlist more often.
