Richmond’s Revival: Yes, They Will Still Have Wings

“It’s probably the number one question we’ve gotten since we announced the reopening,” said Ralph DiTucci, one of the partners behind the transformation of neighborhood staple Richmond’s Tavern into The Richmond. “We’ve got the wing recipe, and they’re definitely coming back to the menu.” When the well-worn neighborhood bar announced its sudden closure in October 2020, most comments called back to those amazing chicken wings. Great wings aside, it was hard to imagine this unique two-level bar with its awesome outdoor rooftop patio would close its doors for good. Fortunately, Ralph knew the old Richmond’s was a diamond in the rough, and he waited patiently for the right opportunity. That chance came in 2021, when the building owner was looking for a new partner to develop the historic bar into a thriving business once more.
