Excellent and lively multistory bar, just off the strip, with old school charm, imaginative flavor blends and warm and delightful owners. Be sure to say Hi! to their stately labradoodle Arthur. :-)
This review is strictly for the upstairs bar. I generally go to this bar and stay on the 1st floor with Jack and Anna. I have never had one issue down there, nor have I returned any drinks before (I had no reason to, they were always good). I have been going to Old Hat and staying on the 1st floor roughly 2 - 3 times per month for about 1.5 years, maybe 2. However, on the night of June 21st, I went there with a group (counting myself) of 5. Due to spacing downstairs, we decided to go upstairs and have a round, as we were hopping around oldtown. We ordered our drinks and only one of us wanted to return it after a few sips. The owner/manager who runs the upstairs bar said he couldn't take it off the bill (mind you the person in our group only had a few sips - enough to determine if she liked the drink), but he offered to modify the drink to her liking. Which I initially thought was odd, as most places would within reason, allow someone to exchange a drink for a different one if said person doesn't like it. We did not put up a fuss, when the owner/manager brought the drink back, in fairness the person in our party said it tasted better, but we still couldn't get past the fact she couldn't get something different out of our head. If you do go here, stick to the 1st floor with Jack and company. Unfortunately, I personally have a sour taste in my mouth on the bar after my recent experience. When I do go to King Street in the future, I am going to be hesitant to come here, and will likely just go to another bar on the strip.
Just a neat bar tucked away in old town Alexandria! Relaxed atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff! The food and drinks were great and the vibe was even better!
Wow wow wow! This is the best bar in Old Town! All the food and drinks we ordered were so incredibly delicious! The staff so warm and welcoming and funny! Highly recommend this place! And highly recommend getting there early as it fills up very quickly!
Fantastic cocktail bar in Alexandria. It's instantly one of my favorite new bars here. Jack, the bartender and proprietor, is really nice and made us several off the menu cocktails which we loved. The homemade kimchi hotdog was unreal and the loaded fries were fantastic. You have to go here. Not only are the drinks and food top notch, the atmosphere is intimate and warm. Highly recommend for everyone.
