Old Town Alexandria has a thriving craft cocktail scene. To celebrate the bartenders and businesses that have been on the cutting edge of cocktail innovation in the city, Old Town Business is bringing back its week-long Old Town Cocktail Week Sept. 9-18.
Participating restaurants and retail partners will offer limited-time specialty cocktails, seminars, themed events and programs. This is your opportunity to try out new cocktail combinations and products from local distillers.
The week will kick-off on Sept. 9 at Waterfront Park with Art on the Rocks hosted by The Art League from 5-8 p.m. which will feature creative cocktail tastings and small bites crafted by competing bartenders from favorite local establishments.
Other events include the popular Wine on the Water in support of the Alexandria Seaport Foundation, an evening of wine, charcuterie, music and a live auction on Sept. 17. Cocktail bar Captain Gregory’s will be hosting a tiki cruise aboard the Tall Ship Providence on Sept. 18 to wrap-up the week.
