FIREFLY Restaurant & Game Room

At FIREFLY, you’ll find inspired food, craft beverages, and your favorite games. We are located at the corner of Market and Meade in Charlottesville’s Woolen Mills neighborhood, a half mile from the Downtown Mall and close to the Belmont neighborhood.

We are a living tribute to the man whose dream inspired FIREFLY, Mark Weber. In May of 2014, a cancer diagnosis led Mark to follow his dream of opening a bar + restaurant that combines craft beer, great food, and gaming. Though Mark is no longer with us, his spirit and vision lives on at FIREFLY.

Thanks to a real-life crash-course in restaurant ownership, and a very skilled and supportive team of staff, Mark’s former girlfriend Melissa Meece took over as the owner and operator of this fun and unique spot in C’ville. Melissa sold the restaurant to Jennifer Mowad in May 2023.
