Have been here a handful of times and has been great every time! The drinks are incredible, the bartenders work so hard to make everyone's drinks and they do it with a smile every time! The espresso martini with tequila is to die for. Will continue to come back here! read more

Met a local Alexandrian for a drink here. Glad I was told to go down stairs. Loved the vibe and ambiance. Service was excellent at the bar. I had to e Winter Orchard Martini and it was excellent!! I would love to reproduce at home but the explanation on how the ingredient spiced pear syrup was homemade was insufficient. Will return! read more

Located under Kisso Asian Bistro in Old Town Alex, this place has all the cool vibes and strong drinks you need! I was quickly greeted as I walked into the room. It is small but the atmosphere is super chill. The drinks will have you feeling like you're on the moon after standing up, too! I only popped in for a quick drink before moving on to my next location but will be back to try more drinks and some food, too! My bartender was awesome, too! read more

I've been here before and loved the drinks and food, and know one of the bartenders (who wasn't there) so when I had people in from all over from out of town, I thought it would be a great place to go. When we arrived, we were told we could sit anywhere, we are a party of four and the guys are bigger built rugby guys. So we take the corner booth that you see when you first come in. A female server then comes over, no menus, and tells us we need to move down to what is a smaller table, no reason given and we move down and cram into the smaller table. I'll mention here it's late night, we find out the kitchen has been closed for an hour and a half now and it isn't busy- plenty of tables open. Now as the only female of the group I see that there's a short/tiny, young Asian guy behind the bar clearly staring and talking about us to another bartender. Our group is mixed, two whites, a Hawaiian and a mixed black guy and we're mostly in our forties/late thirties. I mention this bc the vibe since making us move was completely off, like we were being judged for some unknown reason- like made to move bc they thought we would dine and ditch or something- which is funny because we're all old school service industry people and one of us is in law enforcement. Anyway, the Hawaiian orders a beer and the rest of us still are deciding. I can tell my friends aren't comfortable and I say why don't you finish your beer and we'll go to a different bar. He says I'm just going to ask if we can leave and not be charged bc I'm not going to drink it and make everyone wait- which he hadn't even touched it. The female server says that's fine, so we get up to leave. The tiny guy comes out from the other side of the bar and stops me to pay and I immediately tell him to get his server bc she allowed us to leave. I then told him the atmosphere isn't welcoming and the vibe is off and that's why we aren't staying. You chose to move three huge guys for no reason and clearly don't want us here- no apologies or explanation given on their part. No attempt to make us stay. Your food and drinks may be great but your attitude is trash and hospitality is non existent. In a place where restaurants and bars disappear like toilet paper during Covid, you may want to fix that judgmental attitude towards your patrons. I won't be back and neither will anyone else that comes to visit me. read more

Really cute spot! The inside was a charming bar with big banquettes and it turns into more of a packed bar by 10ish on weekend nights, loud music but super cute inside. The drinks were so good! The sushi was solid but nothing incredible. I liked the salmon nigiri, and tried the crazy salmon roll which was okay. The salmon avocado roll was also okay. I would come back here for drinks or to go out but this would not be my first sushi choice in the area. read more

Had a couple drinks during happy hour. No food on this visit. The server was nice, they take their time making drinks. It's honestly the sign of a great craft cocktail bar. Take your time! Make it nice. Espresso martini was fire. Great composition and the flavor was authentic. No additive feels. I also had the Mazzura Spritz. Very nice composition there.

Casa Luna - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Casa Luna is a tucked away speakeasy like bar with amazing service and bartenders and mixologists located on King St in Old Town, Alexandria. I've had this spot saved for a while in my bookmarks on Yelp for a while. I visited on a Saturday night and it wasn't packed. Probably due to the recent cold front December brought the DMV. My friend and I sat at the bar and were greeted by Andrew. He took our order and made us the best drinks! We started with a French 75 and Oaxaca Old Fashioned. I really enjoyed my old fashioned. It was the perfect drink for a cold night. I had the Layover because I'm also a gin fan. It's Casa Luna's play at an Aviation. Andrew made us a sample of a Japanese vodka espresso martini as well. I usually get mine made with bourbon but this was delicious!! Casa Luna also offers happy hour from 6-8pm during the week. They offer some pretty nice selections! I'll definitely be back and I'm happy I found this gem in Old Town. Ask for Andrew when you visit! read more

Underground speakeasy that shares a kitchen with Kisso Asian Bistro above. Really cool space theme and well decorated space with chill vibes. Really love the place and the staff were super friendly. Not the biggest place but it doesn't seem like it gets too busy. The food was delicious, fish was fresh. The Singaporean noodles were a little bit too salty but it still hit the spot. Lots of asian inspired cocktails that I really enjoyed! Would love to go back to try more of their drinks! read more

I visited Casa Luna on a Sunday evening with a friend. It was pretty empty when we arrived but quickly filled up. This cute little cocktail bar, tucked in the bottom of a building, offers custom drinks crafted to your liking. Although it was understaffed that day, and service was a bit slow, the quality of the drinks more than made up for it. Our bartender--who might also be the owner--was fantastic. If you gave him a general taste profile, he'd create a delicious custom drink based on that. We also ordered sushi rolls from the restaurant above, which were tasty. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for unique, delectable cocktails! read more

This place is such a vibe!! Didn't know it existed, but now I'm glad I do. It's not a true speakeasy that's very secluded, but it has that feel! The name is visible, so you'll easily find it. It's cozy and date night worthy! Overall, the service was great! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted right away. On a Friday night, the place was packed. We sat at the bar. I saw like 10 espresso martinis being made, so I figured I had to get one as well. It was so good! The bartenders were all great. Even the owner, Andrew, chatted with us and made sure we were having a great time. I would definitely come back. They're coming up on their one year anniversary! Cheers! read more

The service and food was good but I noticed on my credit card today that I have a $97 charge. Yesterday when they had me sign for our food it was around $70 and I gave them a 25% tip which definitely does not equal $97. Not exactly sure what happened. Just be careful when you're signing your check. Update: I did reach out to them but never received a call back :( read more

Casa Luna - A Clandestine MCU Speakeasy in the S.H.I.E.L.D Style Avengers Assemble! Our latest mission took us to Casa Luna, a hidden gem nestled beneath a Japanese sushi restaurant on the bustling King Street in Old Town Alexandria. With foot traffic worthy of a New York City crowd, we wisely opted for an Uber to avoid the summer parking madness (although not quite an Avengers Qunjet or the X-Men's Blackbird, it was good enough for government work). Ambiance: Casa Luna radiates a speakeasy vibe with a stunning Asian fusion decor that feels like stepping into a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. hideout, lined with shimmering Infinity Stones to attract even Thanos. The nuanced Asian-inspired lighting and flowers create an atmosphere as enchanting as Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum were now taken over by the new Sorcerer Supreme, Wong and the psychic ninja, Psylocke. The cute blue lights under the bar area and along the wall give the place a modern, softly lit ambiance, perfect for a clandestine meeting of superheroes. The plethora of booths provides options for quiet conversations or livelier gatherings, much like Tony Stark's legendary parties at Stark Tower. Drinks: The cocktails at Casa Luna are crafted with the precision of Hawkeye's aim and the creativity of Wakanda's inventions. Three out of four cocktails were excellent, bursting with vibrant colors and flavors that would make even Star-Lord groove. One cocktail was a bit so-so, but hey, even Thor's adventures have their ups and downs. Overall, the drinks were well-mixed and worthy of a superhero toast. Food: The food, sourced from the Japanese restaurant upstairs, was a culinary delight. The sushi rolls were as fresh and precise as Black Widow's combat moves, while the jalapeño sashimi delivered a kick as powerful as Hulk's smash or Shang Chi's spin kicks. Each bite was a delightful fusion of flavors, much like the teamwork between the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Service: The service at Casa Luna was top-notch. The bartender was as friendly and knowledgeable as Captain America, offering excellent recommendations on both drinks and food, the way Cap would make strategic decisions. The server from upstairs, who descended like Spider-Man on a mission, provided impeccable service with a smile. Their combined efforts made our experience as smooth as a Black Panther stealth operation. Casa Luna is a must-visit for any MCU fan looking for a vibrant and fun speakeasy vibe with Asian-inspired elegance. Even Wolverine would choose this place over Madripoor (and it's safe from supervillains, so he wouldn't need to pop his claws). With its enchanting ambiance, delicious drinks, and impeccable service, it's a place worthy of a superhero rendezvous. Five stars for Casa Luna! Make sure to visit this secret spy speakeasy on your next mission to Old Town Alexandria. read more

Casa Luna - Creative mixed drinks. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Awesome drinks and a great ambiance, thought it can take a LONG time to get drinks. I have had both great experiences and bad ones here since they opened. I have been several times (alone, with small groups, with large groups) and regardless of the party size it always seems to take about 30 minutes to get anything if you are not sitting at the bar. Bar seats are the way to go! Drinks are, as previously mentioned - amazing. But don't order shots. They charge about $15+ for a shot so it is best to order a drink at that cost. If you aren't feeling anything on the menu, they will make experimental drinks for you based on your preferences. But you gotta sit at the bar and it shouldn't be too busy! They will charge more than you expect for these special drinks, but it's certainly a fun experience with the right bartended. All bartenders are very knowledgeable and very skilled. Though... I will warn individuals that some of the bartenders do play favorites for people that are fem. presenting and good looking. It can be annoying waiting so long for you or your parties drinks when someone else at the bar is getting a lot of attention by those supposed to be working. It also can be uncomfortable for those that are getting unsolicited attention from the few offending bartenders as well. Be smart and come with a friend ladies! I go elsewhere now because of the long wait time, pricy drinks, any sometimes uncomfortable atmosphere. There have been a few times I had to walk out too after waiting over 20 minutes for someone to even come to our table. Overall, good to try - great drinks, but a variable experience that can make or break your night. read more

Cute and intimate speakeasy hidden in plain sight in Old Town Alexandria. Located downstairs of Kisso Asian Bistro, Casa Luna is a great place to stop by and grab delicious drinks and enjoy a dope vibe. Luckily, we had a reservation for the evening because there were many people that came in and I feel were disappointed that they weren't able to find a seat to enjoy what Casa Luna has to offer. Outside of the amazing ambiance and cute decor, they do offer a menu from Kiss Asian Bistro only thing is you have to physically go upstairs to order. But they will bring it down to you when it's ready so that is a plus. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation and go check Casa Luna out. You wont be disappointed! read more

Heard some good things about his place, so I figured I'd stop by after dinner at Kisso. It was a Thursday night, so it was just the right time to absorb the surroundings. I had a Banana Walnut Old Fashioned on the advice of the bartender, and it was great (they also do smoked drinks. Bad photo below)! The flavors weren't overbearing, and it had just the right combination of ingredients. They have lots of booths for groups, a good amount of seating at the bar, and a pretty good selection of liquor to meet the needs of most people. You can also order food from Kisso while you're enjoying your Casa Luna experience. With some awesome decor, solid drink options, and cool bartenders, you should consider adding Casa Luna to your next visit to Old Town! read more

We happened across Casa Luna's happy hour sign while exploring old town Alexandria. At first, we thought the sign was for the sushi restaurant at street level. It was not. The sushi host pointed us to a treacherous looking staircase to the basement. Bravely, we went down the stairs and landed on the moon, sort of...! The Catalina speakeasy both an interior design that interprets the surface of the moon. The theme is cute and not overwhelming. Their prices at happy hour were reasonable. We enjoyed lychee martinis that were very flavorful although small. We ordered deep fried chicken "nuggets" that arrived, piping hot, juicy on the inside and super crispy on the outside. The service was effective when it came to the bartender. The owner, however, passed through, welcomed everyone, and checked for quality/feedback. Casa Luna was a good choice and I would recommend. read more

First review of 2024, Casa Luna is it :)!! Casa was a pivot move after we were underwhelmed up the street at King's Ransom. Looking at the brightside, we were able to knock out two bookmarked speakeasys in one night! Unlike King's Ransom that only offered pizza and mozzarella sticks for the most part, Casa has a very nice menu that goes well with the "Spanish" speakeasy theme. First time out we went with the crab rangoon, ribeye sliders and their version of shrimp cocktail. All were very good but the shrimp cocktail was freakin AWESOME!! I wish I could remember our bartender's name because his personality was GREAT! Talk about a man who loves his job and genuinely loves people. He made the evening while creating our craft drinks and hitting the spot on all the recommended tapas style dishes. Casa is definitely hiding in plain sight, right across the street from one of if not my favorite cigar lounge (Basin Street)... who knew.. Lol This place will be on my heavily frequently checkin list for 2024, I can guarantee you that!! read more

They are very much like a speak-easy, located at the bottom floor of the kissu sushi. Solid 3.5 stars. 1. Reservation: highly recommended They have only 10 or so tables on top of the bar, so it gets full fast. 2. Drinks: cool display and decent taste 3. Food: you go up to Kisso and order and pay yourself. Then they will bring it down for you sorta like a take-out. 4. Service: super slow. 20 mins to just get our order despite not busy! I am a bit on the fence about this place. It is worth checking out, but not the best place for special drinks. read more

First time and made reservations for 6 pm. So excited to try this place - being a "speakeasy" and a special occasion. The place didn't match the description. We were offered a small table between 2 other tables when the rest of the place only had a few. They had 5-6 nice booths with only one occupied. We asked but were told they were reserved. We opted for the bar instead. Stools were uncomfortable and not much leg room. Our bartender was very accommodating and nice. Drinks were decent. Didn't order bar food as we didn't want to spoil our Dinner (elsewhere). Food options were limited and no snacks (pretzels or something) on bar which would been nice. Place was a bit awkward. The Booths remained empty the entire hour we were there. Unbelievable. We had 1 drink and won't be back. read more

My partner surprised me by taking me here as a start of our date night. You walk into the building and this cocktail lounge is downstairs. I did not see any elevators so be mindful of that. We ordered rib eye sliders, truffle fries, shrimp cocktail, and a MD crab dip. All of it was so delicious. We ordered Paloma's off menu and it was nice. A little juice heavy. Presentation was great though. Our bartender, Liz was so personable and was navigating all the tables and bar seats so seamlessly. We would definitely come back! read more

The bartender in the basement (Adonis) first off ladies he was making and shaking those drinks like his make depended on it. The service was quick and attentive. My partner and I loved the ambience it was cozy and set up like a posh speakeasy. We ordered the blood moon old fashioned and winter orchard martini. Our drinks were created to perfection; tasty, strong and filled to the brim. For food we ordered the edamame and dragon sushi roll. The size was generous and the food was fresh. This will become a monthly in our rotation read more

Such a stylish tucked away bar. I come on a week night around 11 and it was half full so it makes since to make reservations if you can. The kitchen closed at 9:45 so we didn't get any food. We got a few drinks but the table favorite was a mocktail that tasted very similar to a mojito. It's a little cold so I recommend bringing a jacket. Our server was also trying to wipe our table off I'm guessing to avoid drink stains on the white tables but I thought it was kind of strange and she should have gave us napkins if that was the case. She was nice though. I was in a group of four and they only allowed us to split the bill even. I don't think I'll return unless maybe for food but it was cool for what it was. read more

Look for Kisso and you'll see Casa Luna easily because this is in the basement. It's a really nice looking space, from the stairs area to the booths and bar area. We went on a weeknight so it wasn't crowded at all and the server was super nice. Drinks were presented well and tasted great but the food was nothing special. It comes from Kisso which I'd been to a couple of times in the past and I just wasn't a fan. Sushi was just ok and so was the soft shell crab. I like places to have really good drinks AND food so it was disappointing and I will likely not be back. Is it worth a quick stop for drinks if you're in the area? Sure. read more

Didn't try the food so I would go back for that maybe. The ambiance was pretty cool, it was very cozy. I only tried on drink, and it was decent. I think my only hesitation was how incredibly slow the service was. I think my friend and I were waiting for a while to be seated and two of the staff members just walked past us? And then once we were seated at the bar it took a long time for one of the bartenders to get us water, and then a lot longer to take our drink order. It seemed like other tables were being given more attention tbh. If you don't mind waiting a while for service, def check this place out! read more

Great place-difficult to find. Drinks were so good. Service was on point! Loved the movie screen and the low lighting!

What a fun ambiance and vibe- you can tell the insta fan's are OUT in full, definitely make a reservation, a lot of people were turned away! The cocktails are excellent and they have a very real mixologist working HARD behind that bar! Food from Kisso Restaurant upstairs was fresh and flavorful, we did some sushi / chicken fried rice / Singapore / dumplings - the first three being made gluten free ! We ordered upstairs and they brought it downstairs to us- our resi was for the bar, which if you're a twosome or threesome, I think is wonderful. For 4 folks or more I'd resi lounge seats- also be aware they NOW require a CC deposit for 4 or more (which they didn't require previously). We'll be back ! read more

This place has been on my bookmarks for a while and it was definitely worth the wait. The vibe here is electric! The food is delicious and the service is outstanding! The ribeye slider shareable is an actual ribeye sliced and seasoned to perfection. The shrimp cocktail should be renamed "gourmet" shrimp cocktail because the way the shrimp are seasoned and marinated is like no other. Lastly, the crab rangoon were hot, fresh and delicious. The bartender sets the tone for a unique experience. He can make any drink you request and eludes "I love what I do" which is great to see. The menu is seasonal and will rotate often so give this place a try. It is smaller but very intimate, cozy, and has a good size bar if that's your preference for the night. I am happy we decided to knock off two speakeasies this night because King's Ransom was a tad underwhelming from our expectations. We enjoyed everything about this place and would consider it to be a heavy rotation location, even if just to try a few speciality drinks and grab a quick bite before moving to another spot. read more

Okay - so this was a tough review to write but overall would recommend and would return, however had some issues that I'll keep in mind going forward. First off - the drinks are delicious. I can't drink alcohol, I get very sick if I do, so the fact that the bar tenders could make custom delicious mocktails was awesome. So, an issue we ran into was that I was mistakenly served a cocktail. I didn't know it was a cocktail, I was sitting at a table, not at the bar, so I didn't see it made. when I started drinking it i couldn't taste the alcohol. So when my mocktail was then delivered it was an unpleasant surprise. I didn't have a great evening when I got home, and was sick most of the weekend, despite only having drank a small amount of the cocktail. My husband drank the remainder of the cocktail and agreed it was made so well you just couldn't taste the alcohol! Anyway, just something to be careful if you can't drink alcohol for some reason, to confirm when the drink brought to you doesn't have alcohol in it. As it relates to the food, I would recommend only getting appetizers or snacks. Some members of my group ordered dinner and the wait staff from the restaurant upstairs just seemed to be displeased with having to bring food down to the bar. They also didn't come with everything needed and got annoyed when the group asked for stuff - forks/knives/chopsticks/soysauce/napkins. We definitely felt like a burden. Of note - you pay as you go for the food, so don't be surprised when they bring you the food check right away and then don't be surprised for a separate bill for the drinks. despite these couple of drawbacks, i still really enjoyed coming here and have since recommended it to quite a few people and will gladly return! read more

The place can be a little hard to find. We walked past it a couple of times since the GPS brought us to the corner and not right in front of the door. Note that it is located in a multi-venue building, with Casa Luna being in the basement and the actual restaurant the food comes from being upstairs. In any case, Casa Luna is small and intimate. The tables are very close together and low so if you intend to order any food, you're better off sitting at the bar for the arm room. I found the hostess (once she emerged) kind and helpful, but it did take a minute or so before we were greeted. Note, if you book a "dining room," table as I mentioned earlier, the food comes from a sushi place upstairs. Worse off, if you're at the bar you have to physically walk upstairs to order it and tell them where you're seated. Honestly, this threw me off because I didn't realize this place didn't have food of its own. For that reason, I recommend this place only for a night cap or a pregame. The cocktails are worth the visit. My Khalessi was quite tasty and presentation was amazing. read more

Loved Casa Luna, it's a great low key, intimate spot in Old Town.
