The Boot will be open on Monday evenings starting February 4th. We are moving our day of rest to Sunday evenings as we will be closed for regular dinner service. (We will be open Sunday Jan 27 during Restaruant Week)
In turn we will serve Brunch on the 2nd Sunday of every month following our good friend Syd Meers at Stove who serves Brunch the 1st Sunday of every month. We are starting a Brunch Club with rotating
diners. Feel free to join. There is no membership fee. Where will Brunch be the 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month? It’s tough to say.
(VA Wine Night is still Tues and VA Beer Night is still Wed)
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your drooling!
Norfolk Restaurant Week is almost here. We will be posting our special menu for the week HERE and just so you know our regular menu page is HERE.
Norfolk Restaurant Week Jan 20-27, 2008 and July 20-27, 2008
Just to let everyone know we are taking reservations for New Year’s Eve and Restaurant Week at the couple level. Typically we only take reservations of parties of 6 or more but these are special times. Also Norfolk Restaurant Week is Jan. 20-27 (and our menu will be posted on new year’s day). Another note, normally we are closed Mondays but during Restaurant Week we will be open everyday. Lastly our New Year’s Eve Get Down will start at 11pm - this is a straight up boogie down event. Cover is $3 if you are over 21 and $5 if you are under. DJ Lord Thomas and JC/DC will be on hand to make you pop and lock. We just want everyone to have a good time with some Virginia bevs.
Hello boot website visitors, you may have noticed a little redesign on our website and if you don’t then this is probably your first visit. It is 99% done as we are still having some trouble with the Events section but you can just check our myspace for a complete event listing. Anyhow we just wanted to say hello and hope you like it.
We will also be posting details tomorrow morning about a local food cooking class series to benefit the move of the 5 Points Farm Market to their new location on Church St. This will be fun and exciting and we hope many of you sign up. Details will be posted shortly and the class series will make an excellent last minute Christmas gift. Check back this week to get all the info or you can just email or call. 627-BOOT (2668) info AT insidetheboot DOT com
Have a happy holiday and best wishes from us here at the Boot!
First and foremost, this is an incredible show. We have Richmond’s Glow in the Dark, a five piece jazz collective, Hampton’s John Bibbs a hot shot soul singer and everyone’s favorite reason to sing and shout, The Fuzz Band.

Palominos are a band that hailes from our state capitol. They are a rag tag bunch, playing jangley fried acid rock in the vain of Kings of Leon and Jack White. We just added VB garage rockers the Dunes on the bill. Rawk!
Sam Lowry is coming to us from Bloomington, Indiana and he will be perfroming a heartfelt and dramatic breed of dark americana and dream pop. He channels the storytelling of such greats as Michael Gira, Tom Waits and Nick Cave.
Fans of Tom Waits as well as the early British era of shoegaze should really be at The Boot this Thursday, Dec. 6. Where else would they be able to see Sam Lowry for a mere five bucks? Nowhere else, friends. Lowry’s style can best be described as surrealist and atmospheric sounds that permeate the intangible and slowly disappear into the ether. Vague enough for you? OK, I’ll also mention that fans of Slowdive and/or Sparklehorse would really get into Lowry’s unique sound. Now I hope that has piqued your curiosity enough to have you first in line at 10 p.m. with a five spot in hand. If you’re not already excited about this show you really should be. - Jerome Spencer (Portfolio Weekly)
