In the heart of Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom at the base of Church Hill awaits The American Tobacco Center.

Just steps away from the riverfront. Embrace the vast array of shops and boutiques. Dine in the area’s most renowned restaurants. Whatever your pleasure, The American Tobacco Center is centered in the best Richmond has to offer.

Shockoe is referred to separately as ‘The Bottom’ or ‘The Slip’. Shockoe Slip was aptly named for shipping docks that ran through a former creek in Colonial times. Tobacco plants and warehouses filled Shockoe Bottom and were a significant producer of tobacco from the 1870s until the early 1990s.

Today, the brick walls of former warehouses and factories echo with music and quiet conversation. Shockoe is home to an array of upscale restaurants, clubs and shops. If you want to be centered in the action, Shockoe is the location for you.
