It is a nice quiet, hidden speak easy with great vibes. The service was impeccable. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. She gave great suggestions for drinks. We decided on a sour. Which was whisky, lemon, and honey. It was perfectly mixed and served. I also tried the Toki Highball which was excellent. It was rich in flavor and not too strong. If you are really into Whisky King's Ransom needs to be on your list to visit. Unfortunately, we did not order food but the couple next to us ordered the pizza and fries and it looked delicious. The ambiance was great. Its a little upscale with dark lighting. The raised bar and lighting add to the unique experience. This bar is great for date night or just a night out with friends in Alexandria, Va. If you are in the area check it out...you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

The "hidden" speakeasy is just a second floor bar. (And the bar is nothing remotely like a speakeasy vibe). Tried to order Hendricks gin. Nope. Then Bombay Sapphire. Nope. TheFour bottles of gin that no one had ever heard of. "How about a Jamesons"? Nope. Poor selection of booze and zero atmosphere. (The bartender was fine, though not at all apologetic about the lack of standard liquor selections). There are way better bars....

I thoroughly enjoyed my Old Town Old-Fash, with bourbon, rye, apricot, honey, apple blossoms bitters, orange. The pimento cheese, bacon jam, and crackers would have made our Southern Mom proud. Our sweet waiter, Cameron, was truly the delight of the evening. He was attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be back. And a shout out to Rochelle, who made sure everything was good.

View | Food & Drink | Reservation…read more View: The view is arguably the best in Old Town Alexandria--absolutely stunning. The only drawback is that you can't really enjoy it from most seats. Except for those at the bar, the seating is so low that you end up staring at the wall rather than the skyline. Food & Drink: The menu is quite limited because there's no kitchen on the rooftop. Most dishes are prepared downstairs and brought up, which contributes to slower service. That said, the drinks are excellent--perfect for enjoying a cocktail with a view. However, there are no hot drink options available upstairs, which becomes an issue during the cooler months. Reservation: The rooftop becomes extremely busy around sunset, so reservations are highly recommended. Of the roughly 20-25 seating areas, only 4-6 have heaters or firepits, so if you're visiting in fall or winter, try to request one of those spots when booking or bring blankets. Why not five stars? Slow service, limited food options, and no hot drinks--altogether, these small drawbacks cost the place one star. Pro Tips: There's no self-parking nearby, only valet, so plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early. A 10% military discount is available--just ask!

People kept coming back into the front room to eat. In any case my boyfriend and I tried the fried pickles and the Chicago classic pizza. The pizza was excellent - I will definitely be back to try more. The fried pickles have the potential to be the best in old town. They were fried well and have a good crisp coating. The problem is it's a sweet pickle. This needs to be dill and it will be out of this world!

I love the quaint and rustic feeling of the space which contrasted with the elevated dining experience. The view of the Potomac from the courtyard and restaurant were spectacular The Strawberry Fields Forever specialty cocktail is a refreshing blend of strawberry, mint, and rum. The Palm Royale is just as delightful with St Elder and Pomegranate liqueurs with champagne. Ludmyla was very friendly and Alla the manager helped us out with gluten free options. We enjoyed the Hummingbird Salad, Shrimp Cocktail, Lobster Lemon Linguine (with GF pasta) and Steak Frites. The Crème Brûlée and Flourless Chocolate Torte were a decadent finale for a splendid meal. It is hard to believe such a great restaurant is located inside a hotel. Hotel Indigo is very fortunate.

I enjoyed the food, the service from my waitress, and the atmosphere. However, I noticed that the…read moreprinted receipt reflected the mathematically correct total, while the bill presented for signature increased the amount by two cents. When I asked about the discrepancy, I was told the systems sometimes differ by a few cents. The adjustment was made when I requested to pay the correct total, but the response suggested that questioning "only two cents" was unreasonable. My concern was never the amount; it was the principle. When a customer is shown one accurate total and then asked to authorize a higher one without explanation, it creates the appearance of taking money that was not part of the stated charge. If I may add my two cents as a former patron and frequent restaurant guest: trust matters in a dining experience. Even a few unexplained pennies raise a reasonable question--if this occurs repeatedly throughout the day, where do those extra cents go? A couple of cents from one guest, a few more from another, eventually add up. Transparency in billing prevents that concern. When a discrepancy is presented without a clear explanation and a patron is made to feel foolish for asking about it, it leaves a bad taste, regardless of how enjoyable the meal may have been.
