Date Night: Cocktails at PX, Old Town Alexandria
It all starts with a blue light, a doorbell, and a great excuse to dress up. Old Town Alexandria’s widely-popular speakeasy is more than just a bar. Located above Eamonn’s, PX serves its guests cocktails from nationally-recognized mixologist, Todd Thrasher.
With reservations highly recommended we were in luck when we made last minute plans for a mid-week date night. Though PX is a trendy social lounge, it’s not uptight thanks to bartenders and servers that help you step back into the golden age of craft cocktails. If you’re looking for a trip back to the 1920’s this is the place for you.
The truth is we love everything on the menu. Our favorites were the Smoker’s Delight (includes Four Roses Bourbon and a tobacco tea), Sweet Basil (includes basil and Commonwealth Gin), and Mint Juleps Are Kind Of Annoying, Seriously Order This Instead (includes Belle Meade Bourbon and sparkling wine).
Though the space is small, they do provide the opportunity for larger groups to make reservations in the front room, allowing for a slightly more intimate setting for your group of friends. Obviously, an evening you won’t soon forget.
Cheers!
