This is my go-to spot in Alexandria…read more I am not baller enough to stay at the Hotel Bently but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Actually, that isn't true. I actually stayed at the OG Holiday Inn across the street from the Hotel Bently and found this bar by happenstance. So there I was, at the Holiday Inn for work and the bar was closed. Apparently, the bartender didn't show up for work and although the manager said I could tend the bar for the night, I was not about to start a new job. She recommended the Mirror Bar, located in the basement of the Hotel Bently. After assurances that I wouldn't be murdered walking the block to the bar, I set off. The Mirror Bar reminds me of a classy joint from a bygone era. Yes, there are mirrors. No, it is not some sort of weird place. I mention that because when I told people I went to the mirror bar they looked at me as if I was some sort of perv and I want to set the record straight. Back to the review. This is a nice bar with a nice selection of bourbon. Weeknights are pretty dead but don't let that stop you. In addition to bar seating, there are tables along the wall with comfortable chairs. Comfortable chairs in a dark classy bar? Yes, please. Prices are pretty standard for a hotel bar. Will I be back? of course. If you see me there, say hi and buy me a bourbon.

The vibe is easygoing and welcoming, perfect for unwinding after a long day or catching up with friends. The music isn't too loud, the crowd is friendly, and there's no pressure--just good drinks and good energy. It's the kind of spot where you can truly chill, have real conversations, and enjoy the night at your own pace.

EXCELLENT food from appetizer, entrees, and dessert!!! Service was TOP NOTCH too!!! Our dining party of 3 each ordered different entrees (steak, tuna, and salmon) and shared a taste with each other, and all entrees were delicious. I'm sharing pictures of the salmon and tuna, but my teenage son ate his steak so fast that we didn't get a pic (LOL) and barely got a taste (LOL)!! Also sharing pic of the brownie dessert that topped off the night! Since our dining experience, we have been recommending this restaurant to family and friends and have plans to return again soon!

I was in town for work and this spot came highly recommended. We arrived around 6 PM and were…read moreseated right away. The service started off strong--our waiter quickly brought menus and water. To start, I ordered the fried green beans. Honestly, nothing on the appetizer menu really stood out, so it felt like a safe choice just to have something on the table. No complaints, but the appetizer selection could use a little more variety. For my main course, I went with the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp & Grits, along with a side of the twice baked potato. The shrimp were tasty--no issues there--but there were only about 4 or 5 pieces, and the sauce was overly salty. I ended up eating the shrimp and leaving the rest. On the other hand, the twice baked potato was fantastic--definitely the highlight of the meal. I ordered the bread pudding to go, but it was a bit underwhelming. Definitely not their best, and I wouldn't order it again. Overall, the service was excellent, and the food ranged from good to great. I'd recommend giving it a try. I have a feeling there's something on the menu I'd really love with a bit more exploration.

It was my colleague's turn to choose the dinner location and he decided on Mexican food. Now, I am…read morefrom Arizona, which has the best Mexican food, so I wasn't exactly excited about eating this genre in Alexandria, Louisiana. Here goes... I wanted to play it safe so I ordered the carne asada. To my surprise, it wasn't horrible. Had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. It's served on a bed of grilled onions, which was weird but whatever. This dish also came with my choice of corn or flour tortillas. The rice and beans on the side tasted like they came strait from a can though, but who's there for the rice and beans anyway? Pro tip: save yourself a few bucks and just order the steak fajitas in lieu of the carne asada. The fajitas are served almost identically to the carne asada, except your meat is cut for you already. Both plates come served over grilled onions, both come with tortillas and also with rice/beans and toppings. EXACTLY THE SAME! Weird thing is, the carne asada is $2 more? Give Pedro's a shot, it won't be the best Mexican food you've ever had, but it won't be the worst either. One thumb and a high-five for Pedro's. Happy eating, my foodies!

I wanted to eat some fried ice cream and this is one of the few places I saw that served it. I made…read morethe drive from my hotel room to Pedro's which was somewhat of an adventure because the GPS kept sending me to the wrong place. I ended up getting my fried ice cream to go $6.99. I commend the staff for being really nice and helpful. Everything was still intact and hadn't melted by the time I got back to my hotel room. The ice cream was still firm and the shell was still crispy. Before digging in I had to take some of the whipped cream off of it. A little bit too much sugar was sprinkled on the outside but overall this was really good. I may come back and visit this place again before I leave. I just know to ask them not to put any whipped cream and not as much sugar. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
