She curated the food menu too; loved the Empress Press with sweet potato kettle fries.Love the vibe inside. I just I came through Alexandria more often.Melissa hails from Alexandria and wants to improve her home. Love the desire. Give it a try!

Excellent food, excellent service, and a high quality selection of craft beer make this a must-do in Alexandria. They have an extensive bourbon and whiskey selection as well.

This was my first time here. The food was absolutely fabulous, and the taste always went to the next level. The staff were welcoming and took great care of us even to the point of escorting me to my car just for safety. It was fun to interact so well with folks. I can’t wait to go back and check out some of the other menu items, you know like the dark chocolate bacon cheesecake. I usually don’t like cheesecake, but I gotta try this. Congratulations you guys! I’m telling everybody that this is the place to go if you want really good cuisine.Vegetarian options: One of the big jewels of this restaurant is that the staff and Cook will offered to substitute whatever it is you don’t like with something you like. In fact there is a sign that says if you don’t see what you want, tell us what you want and we will cook it! And the food is delicious, so I hope everybody goes and enjoys!

Delicious food and friendly people. Bartenders chat with you when you're at the bar and remember your name. My favorite place in Alexandria.

One of the few nice pubs in the downtown area, so most often, you'll find a nice crowd and good atmosphere. Friendly bartenders have a nice selection of beers and liquor, and I heard they're specialized in cocktails.

Such a great place to unwind after work with a few coworkers. I’ve had a few food items on the menu and they are always delicious! The drinks are even better! You can’t beat the prices either! Go check them out!

CrowCat Review
This place has great bones but is very sad inside. Everyone seems like they are about to get on a bus to attend a funeral. The food tastes like it was microwaved, though the menu looks appetizing. The selection of beer and liquor is extensive and priced fair, but the service is extremely poor. The girls behind the bar don't seem to want to be here, and if you want to ask them a question about beer, wine, or spirits, you will be better off asking Google because they either don't know or don't care.
