My friend and I spent the day in DC and randomly found this bar. We walked in to just look at the menu and ended up staying for 3 hours. I am obsessed. We made friends with the bartenders, Adam and Dusan, and ended up having great conversation. They both took into consideration of what we typically drink and made great recommendations. The drinks are spectacular and definitely made with care. This is a place I want to come back to with more of my friends.
This bar is awesome (a frequently overused descriptor, but fitting for this). The drinks were amazing and the bar staff was second to none!!! I struggle to remember the name of the young bartender who talked to us and created a number of drinks, most just mixed on the fly. He even helped us come up with some cocktails for a themed party we’re having. Next time I’m in Georgetown this is a must stop! Thanks and cheers!!!
Great food, drinks and entertainment. This is our new favorite place for drinks a romantic night out. Love this place.
I love love love this place. Def recommend it. Good drinks, good food, no complains :)
Great service, lovely drinks :-) . The mixologist took great care of us and made us some super original drinks off the menu. Ps.. do not forget to ask the doorman for the code ;-)

I had super fun yesterday for Cuba Night! Loved the cocktails....loved the food....great bartenders and the dancing was electric!! I will be back.
Great cocktails, nice atmosphere (though a bit more proper), amazing service and great food. Overall nice experience on VDay ‘18.
Real bartenders work here - fun to watch them craft their cocktails Way cool environment
Man oh man where do I begin… my girlfriend and I came in today and were greeted by a friendly staff who seated us outside. The patio is so nice. All of the drinks we ordered were top notch and we got to enjoy the live jazz which is apparently every Thursday. What really did it for me was one of the wait staff came over to us and gave us bug spray to help fight off some pesky mosquitos. Whole experience was a 10/10 and it is easily my favorite place to drink now in DC. Can’t speak highly enough of how awesome the service was and the overall quality of the place.
Well it only took two years from my first visit to return ... and that was my loss. This remains one of the top five favorite places for a classic bourbon cocktail. What kind? Any kind. In a night that included here, Bourbon and Harold Blacks, this one was my favorite. And trust me. Those other places are five star recommend as well. So consider this a five + rating.
Nice cocktail place! I had the seafood paella, truffle fries and couple of their drinks. Food was just OK with g'town price tag on it. I really liked my drink: caviar and pearls, I was worried to mix fish eggs into my drink at first but it really brought the flavor out. Great service. I would go back for a date night. Great atmosphere. The bathtub drinks were just too cute.
Super cute speakeasy. Reservations are necessary. The bartender was a joy and catered cocktails to your liking. The lamb chops were phenomenal. I would never have guessed adding Thai red curry to lamb chops would be “the way.” Can’t wait to return for jazz night.
This historic secluded georgetown location was exactly what we were looking for to host our welcome party and kick off our wedding weekend. The food for the seated dinner was delicious and the set up of the space for the cocktail hour made the night flow. The usage of three spaces into one made the space feel roomy for the large amount of people we had. Would highly recommend if you are looking for the DC feel of history combined with modern elegance.
Very cool entrance. Best speakeasy food I've yet to have! Most friendly bartenders and fantastic sevice I had in the whole city.
Had my very first "Vespa" martini... The bartender knew the off-menu request recipe already and did not disappoint!!!
What an awesome find! The Alex is both intimate and exciting... Especially when you go during their live jazz sessions! The music set a great mood and the space was nicely put together! Our waiter was awesome and really enjoyed himself hosting the bar! Had a smoked cocktail that was really enjoyable and would recommend everyone stop in here for a date night drink! Bonus points for getting a suite in the hotel... You can hit the rooftop and the speakeasy all with the same elevator!
Really fun spot for a drink in Georgetown. Imagine our surprise when we went for the rooftop and they offered us the Speakeasy!! ( Complete with a secret code) very chill vibe and I LOVED my " bathtub" gin and tonic
The Bartender (Storm) made the experience even better. Very attentive to his crowd, I was made a special drink, it was so good. He had us laughing the whole time being there. The shrimp flatbread was good, and the lamb wasn't bad, I had better.
I had an amazing time, and I will definitely come back. The atmosphere, the crowd. It was lovely.
Amazing Bartender amazing Server. The Band was awesome. Blue dot band check them out. We got there early and had the whole place to ourselves so it's a plus for a date night I wouldn't expect that every night. We will be back on Thursdays for BlueDot.
Went there Christmas Eve with reservations. We were Sat quickly and the food was amazing. Drinks were great. Try the bathtub drink.
very unique and funny experience, the staff from hotel entry to the band waitress and bartenders were very friendly and down to earth. i had a great time & the drinks were delish . true craft cocktails and the lamb chops were fire, i forgot to tell the waiter which temperature to cook the meat & they still came out perfection , true chef. i will be back to try more cocktails
Really cool, borderline goofy period-correct-passing speakeasy. The menu printing is the most well executed part and the food was surprisingly great. The bartenders were fun and adaptive, making interesting drinks to whatever our tastes were. Start with the bathtub gin and tonic, go from there.
We had a great evening at The Alex. The atmosphere was cozy, yet vibrant, and the jazz trio was top notch. We didn't order any food, but our drinks and the service were also perfect. We will definitely be back!
