"Was looking for a speakeasy in Old Town Alexandria and stumbled across this gem—so glad we did! The reviews looked great and they take reservations on Resy, but we decided to try our luck with a walk-in around 6pm on a Saturday. The entry is fun and unique—when you walk in, you pull a small flag in the lobby to let the staff know you're there (a clever touch!). Sophie opened the door, greeted us warmly, and let us know she could seat us as long as we were out before a 7:15 reservation. Perfect—our own dinner reservation was at 7:15 too. Sophie was also our server, and she was fantastic. She took time to explain the cocktail menu, was incredibly friendly, and really added to the experience. We went with the holiday cocktails—one even served in a ceramic snowman, which was a blast. (Apparently they have to keep track of them because someone tried to walk off with one recently!) We also ordered the deviled eggs and… wow. Truly outstanding. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is cozy, the staff is welcoming, and the cocktails are excellent. We’ve already made plans to come back—either to relax in the lounge chairs or to sit at the bar and watch the drinks being crafted. It may not be a traditional speakeasy, but it absolutely has the vibe, and I’m already looking forward to returning, maybe even for one of their special events. Highly recommend checking this place out—you won’t regret it!"

"One of the best Speakeasies in the DMV. They’ve recently upgraded their space after 10 years and they were able to expand as well as maintain some of the intimacy they offer for outings to enjoy their craft cocktails. Tried the food for the first time recently and it was absolutely delicious! Reservations are still encouraged to ensure you get to enjoy their space and secret speakeasy concept!"

"Some bars serve drinks and some are an experience. Captain Gregory's is definitely an experience. It has a fun speakeasy style entrance (don't want to give it away). Unique island/tropical decor and super stylish accents/glassware/details. We loved the drinks! Our bartender Jag did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable on our 1st visit and made some guided us through the menu. We will definitely return."

"Really cool atmosphere. Came in for restaurant week and had some great food. Our server, Sophie was wonderful. Excellent cocktails and an all around good vibe. Really good date night spot"

"Very dope spot with real speakeasy vibes. Took me a hot minute to find out how to get in 😅 but it was super cool. They have so many specialty drinks, I tried 3 of them, they were all amazing! Service was exceptional! Sophie needs a raise! The burger was also great! Give this place a go!"
