Down by the waterfront, you can’t beat this great airy restaurant and bar carved out of an old warehouse. Great small plates as well as delicious main dishes.
For the adventurous eaters in your group, there’s a “Weird Stuff” portion of the menu, which includes bits of an animal you might not normally eat — think pig ears or feet. Via CityEats.com En savoir plus
Love this place for the atmosphere alone. Upstairs is so trendy and cozy all at once. Great service and very good food with many options. One of the best in old town
Perfect place to get drinks. Exudes great ambiance w/ exposed brick, reclaimed wood. You can sit at a table, bar, sofa, or even a swing! 2nd floor open lounge has a pool table & darts.
Hoptails: An “Atypical” Chocolate Martini gains thickness from Green Flash’s Extra Stout Reduction, but smells like dessert from the chocolatebitters. It’s smoky, creamy and easy-drinking.
Virtue Feed & Grain is a tavern with a mix of Irish favorite, classic bar food and "weird stuff" like kidneys in red wine. Post a pic of your most adventurous selection.
The devil eggs are amazing. Too bad there are only 3. Oh and Hit de Flor? A yummy, yummy, yum me drink. Oh and the cauliflower w prosciotto (sp?) Uh. Maze. Ing.
Atmosphere and drinks are great. They changed their menu a bit ago and I would have to say I am not a big fan. Avoid the burger. I would say to stick to the beer and drinks at this venue.
Laura is the best bartender in the world! She makes some crazy good mixed drinks. Try the one that is like a guiness float. It will nicely knock your socks off.
A real shame: Beautiful refurbished interior and decor; a solid (though diminishing in quality) draft list; and quality rustic food...but the service leaves so much to be desired. Get it together.
Made our South's Best List! Try the “Hoptail With No Name,” it particularly refreshes with its unusual alchemy of Hefeweizen, gin, and bourbon. En savoir plus
A historic structure located at 106 South Union Street in Old Town, Alexandria, converted into a 21st century American tavern, a casual spot, where the vibe is homey, the drinks excellent and the menu: “modern pub grub.”
