Best KPortal Reviews
Excellent restaurant. I just happened to wonder by and decided to go in for dinner. It was great and everyone in my party thought so too. The waiter was right on top of things and dinner came quickly. The restroom was clean. I would definitely go back.
I LOVE this spot. Over the years it has evolved for the better and better. Downstairs is a fine dining modern experience and upstairs more dive bar live music vibe. Music is good, service is EXEMPLARY, cocktails are good but I’m open to seeing an updated cocktail menu. Food is always hot and fresh off the grill, love their food perfect mix of flavor and healthy ingredients. I usually eat/drink too fast that I forget to take pictures but finally got one today of their salmon dinner. Fantastic experience every time I come here, I’m tempted to say this is my favorite spot in Old Town, at least top 3 for sure! Jules provided excellent customer service on our most recent visit for restaurant week. Thanks to John and Cory for excellent bar service as always and cannot wait to come back, for the 100th time I’m sure.
We really enjoyed this place. They had a great band. Service was good. Nice historic looking place. Food was great. I would definitely recommend this place. UPDATE: We have been back several times for bands and downstairs for food. The fried chicken sandwich was great. I would order it again for sure.
Tried out the Light Horse for a late brunch. I love that they serve brunch until 4pm, it’s pretty hard to find a spot like after 2pm with brunch. The only downside was there was really no brunch drinks or mimosa specials. Service was quick and efficient. We tried the Elote Hushpuppies, they were delicious and unique. The chicken and waffle portions were generous and the maple sriracha was a great add on.
I travel this area frequently and stopped in for a late lunch. The bartender, Justin, was personable and created a good energy on the restaurant. The food was amazing and conversation with locals at the bar was incredible. I will definitely be back to try the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese!
Great food and service. I went with a group and everyone enjoyed the food they ordered. I had the pulled pork sandwhich with a small side of Cole slaw that was good. Service was very attentive and the atmosphere is nice with all the decorations. They have live music too throughout the week which can make it hard if you're trying to conversate but other than that it was good music. They also have an upstairs and downstairs bars and stages so you can move to other areas as well. I'd recommend going to this bar if you're looking for a good Irish Pub in Alexandria. It can get a bit crowded at times during the evenings and weekends.
This place has great food and great music. It's always a blast to go dancing here. Downstairs is very chill and quiet for dates and conversation with friends. Then once you are adequately full of food and drink, make your way upstairs and get down with your bad self on the dance floor.
A nice place for a light lunch in old town Alexandria. The restaurant is clean, the staff both professional and attentive, and the food was fresh and tasty.
