    What an experience! Be sure to call ahead to reserve your spot. Sitting at the bar is a great experience and the bartender puts on a great show. You can't go wrong with any cocktail, their menu rocks!

    Get a seat at the bar for a show and good conversation. Order something ON the menu. They've put so much effort into concocting those drinks and they are very VERY worth it.

    Amazing cocktails. Cozy - good for an intimate date. Trust the bartenders and don't be scared to try something new

    My boyfriend surprised me with coming here for our anniversary. Such a cozy, secret spot. We tried so many different cocktails. Bartenders are knowledgeable. I felt like we took a step back in time!

    Delicious cocktails, amazing atmosphere that takes you back to the roaring 20s: PX is the cat's meow! Dressing in period-style clothes gets you bonus points with the staff.

    This place is amazing. The bartender is one of the most knowledgeable drink makers I have ever seen. He is a complete perfectionist and you are guaranteed that your drink will suit you perfectly.

    Great cocktails. The best place in Alexandria. Try it. Amazing. I had the detox cocktail. Hard to get in here. Worth it. Very French.

    Fabulous drinks and amazing service. Take a seat at the bar if you can. Watching the drinks being made is half the fun!

    Puts every other dc "speakeasy" to shame. After several visits and many cocktails, the best drink by far is the Cure All. The turmeric, basil, and coconut flavors are unlike any drink I've ever had.

    Make sure to sit at the bar if you have the opportunity. We did not, but part of the fun is watching the bartenders work.

    You can't go wrong with a gin and tonic here. Also, I love their "Dreaming of the Green Can."

    If you’re checking in here, you obviously are cooler than most. Not as cool as this bear, let’s just make that clear. Don’t try and hang a sign up, they don’t like that.

    Pick a spirit and ask them to whip you something up. Always better than the menu drinks!

    The cocktails are okay. They didn't taste that sweet but for some reason they weren't strong either.

    Todd Thrasher makes the cocktails at this speakeasy (there's no sign outside, just a blue light). It's owned by the team behind the terrific Restaurant Eve.

    Try the Sweet Basil - Lillet Blanc, orange water and basil simple syrup topped with a basil leaf garnish. Sweet & refreshing
