MacMillan Spirit House

I live down the street so I come here quite often. The drinks are amazing, the food is always fantastic and the bar service from Rob and Luna is exceptional.

Wouldn't recommend

Luna is an amazing bartender

Malik made the best salmon I’ve had in years! Luna is an amazing bartender

I've not eaten here, but they can make a gin & tonic and serve it without delay. That defines 5 star service for me.
Lovely patio!

Excellent quality food and more than large enough portions. The service was outstanding from Luna, the best bartender/server! She is super upbeat, with a friendly personality, always on top of what your needs are and quick to respond. The atmosphere is upscale in matching the area in Old Town Alexandria. Spacious bar with very large, cushioned and comfortable barstools, with nice swivel to easily get in and out.

Excellent customer service and attention from Robert! Made me feel comfortable and at home! Recommended me different whiskeys to taste, made thee best old fashioned I’ve ever had and the food was great! The manager was also cool! Great drinks, food and price! Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Derrick for your hospitality also!

Great spot in old town north for drinks. Have not tried their food but it looks good.

We’ve always considered this a nice family-friendly spot, but today, our experience was truly shocking. While we were enjoying our meal, an alleged executive chef approached us and asked us to move so a white family could take our table. I was completely speechless. At the very least, I'm writing this review, but I can guarantee this will be the last time I visit this subpar restaurant. Train your staff to treat everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve

Had a really great Saturday evening here. Got drinks, appetizers, and shared an entree. All 3 bartenders had fantastic recommendations, especially David and Alex. Their knowledge of spirits and cocktails was quite impressive and we were able to order and try a wide range of drinks - from a standard manhattan to a caipirinha. All in all, a really enjoyable evening in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend for a chill night out with solid cocktail recommendations.

Went here for the third time and really enjoyed the food and service. The first two times we ordered from the Brunch menu and tonight the Dinner menu. Everything we have had (sliders, quesadilla, and the bourbon salmon) has been excellent and uniquely flavorful. We always sit at the bar for the relaxed atmosphere and have really enjoyed talking to Rob. The owner is quiet but a nice guy if you talk to him. Highly recommend.

Football Sundays are the best day to go for incredible deals. HH is solid too.

My dad made me write this review because he was so happy with the service and food and wanted everyone to know. We went for an early brunch at 11am and were one of the only ones there so it wasn’t loud which my parents loved. The food was great; we ordered the shakshuka, breakfast skillet, and salmon salad. The waiter was super attentive but not bothersome. Overall, great experience.

Went for lunch on Christmas eve and had a great experience. The Highland Midge cocktail was nice, and I really enjoyed the slider platter (they offer one type or mix and match- I recommend the latter as you get more variety- buffalo chicken, smoked gouda, and the regular one). The service in the bar area was excellent.

We had an excellent experience here. We've been here a few times now, but this evening was the best amongst them. The food is fine, the atmosphere is outstanding, and the service is excellent. We had a fantastic bartender named Alex on this evening. He was friendly, charming, attentive, everything you want to fulfill your bar seating experience. We hope to see him soon.
