I loved the ahi tuna tacos and the burger . I wasn't a huge fan of the peanut butter ice box pie

Down by the waterfront , you can’t beat this great airy restaurant and bar carved out of an old warehouse . Great small plates as well as delicious main dishes.

Food Network

For the adventurous eaters in your group, there’s a “Weird Stuff ” portion of the menu, which includes bits of an animal you might not normally eat — think pig ears or feet. Via City Eats.com Read more

Love this place for the atmosphere alone. Upstairs is so trendy and cozy all at once. Great service and very good food with many options. One of the best in old town

jeyo

My favorite restaurant in Old Town . I always order the special, and I am always blown away. Hands down, best place to eat.

Sunny Nason

Smoked salmon burger w duck fat fries ! Great seasonal drink options and two floors with a little different vibes. Love this place.

Rhiannon

Perfect place to get drinks. Exudes great ambiance w/ exposed brick, reclaimed wood. You can sit at a table, bar , sofa , or even a swing! 2nd floor open lounge has a pool table & darts .

Fredrik Månsson

Excellent food and service, lobster ravioli is perfect and so is the desserts . Umami burger is also to die for.

Neil Chainani

Everything is so heavy but also so good. Go for the wings or Mac and cheese . I love the rustic appeal to this place.

Anthony Gomez

Beautifully designed. Go for the Wagyu . One of the best spots in Alexandria. Upstairs is cooler than downstairs.

Ellen S. P.

Great for parties! You can rent out the top floor. They prepare a great buffet for large groups.

Hoptails : An “Atypical” Chocolate Martini gains thickness from Green Flash’s Extra Stout Reduction, but smells like dessert from the chocolate bitters . It’s smoky, creamy and easy-drinking.

Leann B

Very very good new American brunch . Can't go wrong. Want to try dinner . Pretty views and decor.

Virtue Feed & Grain is a tavern with a mix of Irish favorite, classic bar food and "weird stuff " like kidneys in red wine . Post a pic of your most adventurous selection.

Todd Maxwell

Atmosphere and drinks are great. They changed their menu a bit ago and I would have to say I am not a big fan. Avoid the burger . I would say to stick to the beer and drinks at this venue.

Kimberly Garner

The beets/potatoes side dish & Brussel sprouts are to die for!! #noexaggeration 👍👍

The devil eggs are amazing. Too bad there are only 3. Oh and Hit de Flor? A yummy, yummy, yum me drink. Oh and the cauliflower w prosciotto (sp?) Uh. Maze. Ing.

Brian Soper

Wings and draft beer selection . Wings are great but Korean sauce gets to be a bit much toward the end. Cool lounge vibe upstairs .

Jimmy Johnson

One of the very top favorites for outstanding food, service and an unbeatable atmosphere.

Sherri Romm

Laura is the best bartender in the world! She makes some crazy good mixed drinks . Try the one that is like a guiness float. It will nicely knock your socks off.

Russell Caluri

Great whiskey selection and lot of flights available. Shrimp and grits was good

William Hanlon

A real shame: Beautiful refurbished interior and decor; a solid (though diminishing in quality) draft list ; and quality rustic food...but the service leaves so much to be desired. Get it together.

Matthew Lundh

This place has very unique, amazing cocktails and extremely knowledgable bartenders . Plus, the ambiance is fantastic.

Zach Holod

Excellent brunch menu . The crab dip is top notch though it’s a must get.

Southern Living

Made our South's Best List! Try the “Hoptail With No Name,” it particularly refreshes with its unusual alchemy of Hefeweizen , gin , and bourbon . Read more

Really great place! Had the salmon which was really good. Definitely would return!

Leandro Lagera

Nice take on things like bone marrow . Good feel and love the beer .

Randy Sisto

Nachos with ropa viaja chicken is awesome! Great atmosphere and beer list .

Cicely L

Food and service were very good - only downside is that it is kind of loud !!

Ashley Milnor

Check out the upstairs level, they have a wii/Xbox with fun games and a pool table . Fun spot!

Try the 'hoptail ,' called, "it reminds me of Trystan and Isolde," if you like citrus and fizz. Not sweet.

Oh...same get a seat on the 2nd level...the swing is uber cool. The perfect been of indoors with outdoors.

Ramansyah Anwar

i like the chimay beers and the steak

Erin Rath

Very hard to hold a conversation upstairs -- acoustics are such that when it is full, the sound bounces around.

Allison Abbott

SUCH a beautiful place. Tuna taco appetizers were divine, salmon salad was just OK.

Kim Ackerman

Good food. Nice beer and drink selection. Friendly staff

Janine vN

Good food. The inside is fairly loud and it's a bit hard to hear, but the outside seemed quite nice. Fairly trendy place .

K T

Made a night of it and tried all the "weird stuff ." Good beer menu , fun upstairs ! Would come back for the atmosphere.

Matt Dicker

One of the few places in the area that serves poutine . Need I say more?

Don’t sit inside on the first floor — it’s really dark and has a strange atmosphere

Sarah Bonk

Cauliflower tacos were very tasty

Luis Garay

Lamb it's amazing!

Caitlin Lawler

Laid back atmosphere with delicious locally sourced food .

Kara Goodling

Everything. The atmosphere is amazing.

Char

Dog friendly 🐕 with great burgers and drinks!

Greg Diamond

Great tap list .

Alex Taylor

Try the house-marinated cocktail onions in a gibson with a splash of the brine. Carelton hooks it up.

Stephanie

The sweet potato tacos are delicious!

Merve Kaynak

Salmon is so yummy ! :)
