PX

PX is a speak easy that has good drinks in a quaint setting. It is very small with limited seating and making a reservation is highly recommended. I have been to PX several times and had mixed experiences. While the drinks are usually good, the service is spotty. I love the feel of old town establishments as they cater to the customer and make the experience personable. PX falls short in this category. My visit did not feel welcoming and I felt more like a hindrance rather than a guest. I may have visited them on bad days, but each of my visits leave me with a bad impression.

Enjoyable, relaxing drinking lounge with unique cocktails. Expect to pay $13-16 for each drink, but they're good pours and definitely unique tastes! I had the Messiah is My Sister and the Grog. You can make reservations online and expect to be seated on time.

Very cool environment with custom cocktails. It isn’t cheap and definitely is meant for a special occasion. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite bar in the DC area, hands down. The bartenders are knowledgeable, pleasant and excellent at their jobs. The mood is just perfect for a single or double date and it has a back room that can comfortably fit around 10 people. I had the first cocktail I ever liked in my life (Violet Fizz) at this place. Love it! Highly recommend.

This place is so cozy and the drinks are amazing. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. The atmosphere is nearly perfection, from the candle lit stairway to the relaxing back room. I love how quiet it is, loud bars are so not my scene. If you're looking for a intimate, speakeasy style place with high quality booze, this is it. If you want to party and have cheap drinks, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Ordered: Smoker’s Delight - Bourbon, Tobacco Tea, Honey Syrup, Lemon

Absolutely the best craft cocktails in Old Town. They make their own tonic from scratch, with some amazing flavor. They make hands down the best gin and tonic I've ever had. Reservations are best, but sometimes you can put your name in if they have space available. It's small and dark and a perfect spot for intimate drinks. You can also get a few snacks brought up from the restaurant downstairs! A must visit every time I'm in Alexandria.

Very unique atmosphere and the drinks were incredibly well balanced. The "smoker's delight" was really well done with the smoked tea and lemon playing nicely. The "not quite a daiquiri" was really unique in that there was no sugar, it was only the bitters and tart lime flavors creating a very unique drink.
