 The downtown area caters to a diverse crowd, and there are countless watering holes offering pub fare of varying quality, from the '''Cellar''' and the '''Underground''', which provide a more traditional pub aire, to places like Cabo Fish Taco which regularly feature electronic and breakbeat music acts such as the '''Boogieburg Sound System'''. If one desires a finer dining experience they might want to check out '''Boudreaux's''', '''The Cellar''', '''Gillie's''' and '''Poor Billy's Seafood & Sushi''', which provide diverse cuisine of excellent quality for just a few extra dollars. Locals are fond of '''Mike's Grill''', a small restaurant offering typical (but excellent) American food- burgers, fries, etc. for a reasonable price; while the college crowd can often be found hanging around places such as the '''River Mill''', '''Sharkey's''' or '''Hokie House'''. '''Sheesha''', the local Hookah bar, often features live jazz and afrobeat music, and '''Pita Vera''', a Lebanese cafe is another place renowned for their pizza and hummus.  '''Greens''' offers inexpensive sushi on Mondays and Wednesdays as well as a variety of other food.
 Note that the majority of places (if you are looking for inexpensive dining) seem to concentrate on pizza and sandwiches/hamburgers - you will pay approximately double for things which are not.
