PX

We decided to try this place as one of our girls’ night out. It’s not easy to find, which is obliviously the point, but follow the blue light and you’ll find your way. We didn’t choose to eat here but definitely had a drink, or two! The bartenders are true artists and the drinks are delicious and unique! I definitely would recommend it!

Quite simply the best cocktail bar I have ever been to. When I lived in Alexandria, this was a regular spot to bring visitors from out of town. Make the reservation ahead of time — it’s well worth it.

Oh PX, I’m so disappointed in you. I had talked you up, knowing what a unique, relaxed place you are. We made reservations a month in advance for our out of town friends who were visiting for ONE NIGHT. Of all the things we wanted to show them this was the one thing we were sure not to miss. To that end, we spent the month leading up to this night raving about how fun PX is!
We arrived on a chilly night 10 minutes early, knowing we probably wouldn’t be seated right away. What we didn’t anticipate was standing in an odoriferous stairwell for 25+ minutes, explaining about why it smelled (strongly) of fish and chips. Our guests– one of which was pregnant and sensitive to smells– were good sports. For what it’s worth, in our previous visits to PX, we’ve never smelled Eamonn’s as strongly. Must have been a particularly busy night for the small cod and chips.
Most disappointing was the hostess telling us numerous times that she was waiting for the party at our table to leave. You’d think with the prestigiousness of the place, as well as making reservations a month in advance (10:30pm being the only available time), a table would be ready for us at that time or shortly after. If you’re going to have a strict cancellation policy, the expectation is that reservations bear the same weight.
Once seated in the back room, generally reserved for large or private parties, our guests missed out on the ambiance of the speak easy vibe which we raved about. There was no sign of a server, or employee in general, for at least 15 – 20 minutes. Once our server appeared, she took our order and brought our drinks out, no complaints there. Drinks were tasty and more in-​line with what we had described the PX experience to be like.
We left with a great taste in our mouth (from our drinks) but a fishy stank that will linger about our experience that night.

I have been here a couple times now, and this is my favorite speakeasy in the DC Area thus far because of the atmosphere. The people who visit here are always very friendly and it’s been fun sharing the experience with them.
The first time I visited here, I could not figure out where PX actually was located. Both times I stopped by, I did not have a reservation and was let in easily. However, I would make sure to try to sit at the bar because it’s fun to see the drink making in action. Watching the bartenders concoct unique seasonal drinks is relaxing and asking them for special drinks not on the menu is the best part!
Tasted the fish n chips with ALL the sauces. This was a surprisingly delicious comfort food. Although it felt like it did not necessarily «go with» the atmosphere, I thought the homemade sauces were phenomenal and would return just for those. Haha! Prices are high, but this is a great place for special occasions, tourists, and pre or post-​dinner drinks!

We went here on a Friday night at 6pm when it opened. I got lucky and saw an opening for a reservation for 2 people during this time earlier that day. The first time I checked, only late reservations (past 10pm) were open. We found parallel parking pretty quick, right across the street. We got there pretty early so we just waited in the car until it opened. The blue light wasn’t turned on until exactly 6pm, so if you were looking for it beforehand, you could have easily missed it. It is actually off of S Columbus St. We got there and a woman greeted us, checked our IDs, walked us up the stairs, and sat us by the bar. I would recommend sitting by the bar to watch the bartenders do their work making specialty cocktails. The bartender was really nice and helpful. The ambiance was dark, intimate, and small like most speakeasy bars. My boyfriend and I ordered 2 drinks each.
We got the following cocktails, all $ 14 each:
— Wet Money (tart, light and refreshing)
— Down With the Shine, The Perfect Shine (apple cinnamon taste)
— Smoker’s Delight (sweet honey/​bourbon, probably my favorite out of all the ones we tried)
— The Best Part of Waking Up Is Laphroaig In Your Cup (peaty, coffee taste)
The bartender Many reviews said this place was dressy, but I don’t think they are strict on this. I wore a casual dress with sandals, and my boyfriend wore jeans, a polo and basketball shoes. He even asked the woman at the door if shorts were allowed, and she kinda shrugged and was like whatever, so don’t stress about the dress code! This bar is pricey, but I think it’s worth the experience. It’s a nice chill spot, to go on a date or even with a small group of friends. We stayed for a little over an hour, and headed to our next bar/​restaurant for dinner. The location in Old Town is very convenient, highly recommend trying this place! :)

I’ve been to PX a number of times. It’s in a perfect location in Old Town and a nice departure from your run of mill cocktail lounge or bar. You need to make reservations and pretty well in advance for a weekend. I’ve had some luck getting a last-​minute reservation for a week night, but don’t always bank on that.
The setting is dark and intimate with that speakeasy vibe. You walk up, ring the doorbell, wait for the hostess to open the door (no password needed) and then bring you inside. Three main areas to sit, including a small space immediately off the main landing, the bar (what I highly recommend) and a larger lounge-​y area in the back.
The cocktails are always seasonal and craft. PX makes much of its own product, like the bitters or fruit additives. Sitting at the bar, I’ve always found the bartenders to be attentive, and it’s great to watch them mix everything up. If you’re not interested with what is on the menu (which I’m hardpressed to see how that is possible since there really is something for everyone), the bartenders will make you something else based on liquors/​flavors you like.
I think the only thing that is keeping me from leaving this place 5 stars is my experiences the last two times I visited (including this Friday). In both instances, the same hostess didn’t seem like she knew what she was doing. In one instance, my guest and I were seated at a small table in the smaller lounge area right next to a very cold window unit. We asked to be moved to the bar, where there were clearly empty seats. She said we couldn’t sit there because of other reservations. The seats remained empty for quite some time. In another instance (this past Friday), I had specifically requested two bar seats. She didn’t want to give them to us at first after leading us to the larger backroom lounge area, saying that they were being held for someone. I told her, yes, for us. We are the next reservation and requested the two seats that are open at the bar. Needless to say we got our seats.
Also, the last couple of visits the place unfortunately smells a bit like septic tank. The single bathroom is right off the bar and could use a bit more regular attention. Frankly, the place itself could use a good, solid scrubbing. If you’re charging me upwards of $ 16 for a drink, I kind of expect floors and walls to be clean, the paint to be touched up now and again and windowsills that I’m sitting right next to to be clear of dust and dead bugs.
These are all easy fixes, so they most definitely won’t keep me from coming back. In the end, it’s the drinks I’m coming for.

We enjoyed ourselves, but I don’t think we’ll be going back.
When we arrived, dressed to the nines and all gussied up in prep for this outing, the waitress/​hostess wearing Uggs ushered us to the landing halfway up the stairs and we waited there while she confirmed our reservation. We were then swiftly guided to the empty back room, past a really nifty looking bar. If I had been thinking more clearly, I would have asked if we could be seated at the bar, but I was so thrilled to be in a speakeasy that I didn’t say anything.
I then got a look at my surroundings and realized I was in someone’s dimly lit living room. The windows were covered with black curtains to block the day light and the A/​C window unit. There were 4 love seats positioned on each side of the room, facing the center. Additionally, there were 2 more small seats with no backs tucked in two of the corners, one right in front of the A/​C, so not only would the air be blowing right on you in that seat, but there would be nothing to lean against. Just as we were leaving a couple was seated there and I felt bad for them. They looked really uncomfortable.
Anyway, about a half hour after we arrived more couples and groups showed up. Since we were all facing each other it was hard not to slyly look everyone over. Three women all gussied celebrating a birthday put their heads together and left before their orders were even taken. i’m sure they were looking for more of a scene than a dark living room where you’re trying not to look at the strangers right across the room from you. And I don’t blame them!
We ordered 3 drinks a piece over the course of several hours plus the fish & chips from the restaurant downstairs. I can assure you that that was VERY tricky to eat in this situation! Especially since the only utensils we were given were 2 plastic knives. It was quite good, but a very weird option in this kind of a setting. We really only got it because we were starving and wanted to try a 2^nd drink after we’d ordered our first ones. The other snacks on the menu are nuts and olives and those were really good.
The drinks were all quite tasty, in my opinion. For his final drink my husband was interested in maybe getting a whiskey, neat. The waitress went away and came back with 3 unremarkable whiskeys written on a sticky note. He thought maybe he had asked for the wrong thing, so he asked about their ryes. Back she came again with a few more unremarkable ones on a sticky note. He then said, «you know what, just an old fashioned.»
I finished my 3^rd drink and when my husband was almost done with his, the check was handed to us. Each of us had assumed the other had asked for it, but that was not the case. Were we being cut off after 3 drinks? Is there a time limit on the seats? Who knows. But that left an awfully sour taste in our mouths as we left.
In any event, if we were to go back we would definitely insist on sitting at the bar. Otherwise we’ll just light some candles and hang out in our own living room.

Went in with high expectations based on word of mouth, but was sorely let down. The atmosphere, or lack thereof, was quickly established when the woman opening the door was dressed as if she was a J Crew sales associate and said nothing to us except to wait on the landing. Our waitress seemed confused the entire night, brought over an incorrect drink, pushed us to get another round when we asked for our tab, then overcharged us for three extra drinks and tried to argue with us when we corrected her. The drinks themselves were decent, but I have had better for cheaper at other places. For a place that talks about dressing up on their website, there were patrons wearing t shirts and shorts with sandals.
After going to other speakeasies that really pay attention to the atmosphere they present, I was very disappointed in my experience a PX.

Went here on a Friday night. This hidden Speak Easy is located above Restaurant Eve’s sister restaurant, Eamon’s. From my understanding, all 3 businesses have the same owner.
This bar is small, intimate and romantic with the lighting exuding from candles. We sat at the bar so that we could see the bartender making his crafty concoctions and I’m glad we did.
Ordered the following drinks:

THIS PLACE IS OVERRATED! I get the novelty of it being a speakeasy, so if you’re a tourist or have friends in from out of town this would be «fun». First of all, I booked a reservation a month in advance. We show up a half an hour late because I screwed up the time, BUT they still seated us. They seated us at a very empty restaurant. There was hardly anyone there, but it says online that they’re booked.
Yes, their cocktails are delicious and well crafted, but nowadays you can get that at almost any upscale bar.
They have next to no food. They had nuts, olives and fried fish and chips, and that was about it.
So this place centers around cocktails, and not food. So you’re supposed to plan cocktails a month in advance, and go elsewhere for food.
I guess this would be a good date place to impress someone?

I have had PX on my radar to try for quite some time now and made our reservation for 4 (hubs, bff and her fiancé) about a month ago. As it got closer I got more and more excited about it. The day before I got a text confirming when we would be there and then Friday we showed up about 10 minutes before they opened. As such, we were the first to arrive and were seating at the 4 person table just past he bar in the main room. Prime seating!
Newbie tip: When they say they open at 6 pm… they mean it. They don’t even screw in the light bulb until 5 til 6. They will not answer the doorbell until 6 pm on the dot-​even if they see you standing in the cold at 5 til when they screw in the light bulb.
Another newbie tip: I thought being carded in middle of the dark star case was a little awkward, and would be increasingly worried about this if we got there later and people were coming and going.
Once seated we were immediately greeted and given drink menus. Our waitress was awesome! She was super friendly, extremely patient with our indecisiveness and very knowledgeable on drink options. A+ here.
The décor is exactly what you’d expect. It’s a little nod to an incredibly sexy and romantic era in American history and I absolutely loved all the ornate details in the woodwork. The room is lit mostly by candles and has many mirrored walls to make the most out of the lighting.
We ordered a round, took some pictures and settled in for a good evening.
As much as I really wanted to love PX, and although I definitely liked it, it just wasn’t quite there for me. I liked 2 of the 4 cocktails I selected, although my companions had far better luck than I did. I liked my squid ink martini and I absolutely LOVED the lady’s blouse (thanks to our server’s awesome recommendation), but I thought the «not a piña colada but close» and the «Todd gave us carte blanche» were pretty bland-​I didn’t finish either. Also, the Grog I sampled was flat out not a flavor I would like to put in my mouth ever again. Thanks. But then on the other hand my girlfriend’s Sweet Basil was so good I tried to bribe her to trade me! And the Moscow Mule my husband ordered was probably the best I have ever had.
I guess my gripe is, although I definitely appreciate the subtly of the flavors they are trying to create, I guess I just like my booze to taste, you know… more boozy.
Next time we go back I will have to just ask for recommendations on what to have instead of picking things because I thought they sounded adventurous.
Last newbie tip: If you aren’t a talker, this is probably not the best place for a first date. I watched a couple of poor souls stare at each other, the walls, the back of the bar, you know, whatever they could, because they ran out of things to talk about. There isn’t a whole lot going on around you here, so you will need to provide your own entertainment. You have been warned.

Amazing bar. Kind of fancy, so don’t come here in sweats. My favorite drink is the Sweet Basil: Hendricks gin, basil, lillet blanc, orange blossom water. So light and refreshing. They make all of their own mixers/​add-​ins, you can’t really go wrong.
Definitely make a reservation. (Their online system is easy and reliable.) It’s a small, quiet, dimly-​lit lounge, perfect for a romantic date or special occasion. Try to grab a spot at the bar so you can watch the bartender work his magic.
Friendly service, chic environment, delicious drinks! Definitely a must-​try while in Alexandria/​DC.

*REVIEW #200*
MK: «Wait. The address on Unilocal says it’s right here.»
Me: «It clearly isn’t. I don’t see a sign.»
MK: «Speakeasys traditionally don’t have signs.»
Me: «Umm…ok.»
MK: «Let’s go around here and see. Yea right there! You see the light?» The blue light sits above a red door… around the corner from the address that’s posted on Unilocal.
I’m blind as a bat, so don’t ever ask can I see anything. We got to the door and MK reached for the door knob. To our surprise, it was locked. MK then knocked (police style). No answer. Finally, we realized there was a doorbell. Sigh. A hostess came to the door.
Her: «Good evening ladies, do you have a reservation?»
Wait. Reservation though? At a bar? I wasn’t ready.
MK: «No, but we were wondering if you had any cancellations. We’re celebrating a birthday.»
To be clear, MK’s bd was over a week away, but ok. Mum was the word for me. I ain’t said nothing, I just wanted to see what was going to happen.
Her: «We can let you in for ONE round of drinks, then you will have to get up for the incoming reservation.»
MK looked at me to see if I was up for it, I nodded in approval. Upon entry, I noticed the establishment was dark. Really dark. The stairwell was lit by candles, the second floor (low lights and lanterns) was so dark I had hold on to the wall to make sure I didn’t trip over my own feet.
As we made our way in good, we decided to have a seat at the bar. Low and behold, MK knew the bartender (who doesn’t she know??). While they chatted it up, I was very enthusiastic about choosing a drink. Menu drinks are chosen daily and features some seasonal drinks.
I had ‘The Start To A Beautiful Life.’ Bubbly and refreshing, I sipped slowly. I wanted to relish in the meticulously crafted drink. All elixirs, extracts, and other crazy named items on the shelf are house made and potent. We stayed for our ONE round, laughing and talking with other patrons, but after our round was over… we were over. No more drinks for us, as the bartender honored the hostesses’ stipulations. I can appreciate their solidarity.
After being kicked out, I’ve been back, this time after making reservations. A much longer time spent… I’ve realized that PX is much more than I bar, it’s exclusivity denotes a posh, hipster-​ish (bartender rebuked me calling it that) establishment that caters to those who can appreciate a good drink. PX is definitely not an establishment where the intent is to get drunk (especially since it’s prices are in the $$ range) and rowdy. It’s more of a place where you come to chill out after dinner at Eve, on an all girls/​guys night out (small group), on a date night for an intimate conversation. Can’t wait to call a few of my girls up, get dressed up and head back to PX. It’s something about that atmosphere that makes me feel… like a grown-​up? Fancy? Romantic maybe?
All I know is that my next PX trip will be a date night, I like to lay it on thick sometimes ;)
To do:
Make a reservation
Call ahead to see if Julian is bartending
Dress up and make it a fancy night
Date night/​girls night/​guys

PX is a sister bar of Restaurant Eve — it’s known as a ‘hidden/​hip/​retro bar’ that imitates a ‘speakeasy,’ located in the heart of OT Alexandria. Making a reservation was super duper easy, as you just book online; they also send you a text to remind you of your reservation, and even notifies you know if they have any earlier spots if you’re interested. When you ring the doorbell, the hostess lets you in, but you wait at the landing of the stairs; she confirms your reservation and then leads you to the upstairs bar. The place is very dim-​lit, and there are about 8 seats at the bar and a little table for four off to the side. The menu offers a variety of beverages, such as specialty cocktails, sparkling cocktails, house specialty/​standards, wine, beer, and even some eats (snacks from Society Fair and fish & chips/​chicken & chips basket from Eamonn’s). I tried the ‘Not Really a Pina Colada But Close’ (roasted pineapple shavings, coconut, coconut water, famous grouse scotch, and house made coconut bitters (I had to educate myself on what ‘bitters’ were (they’re alcoholic cocktail flavorings, and PX has a large extensive selection of housemade bitters that are available!); I love smoothie-​type of drinks, and even though this beverage was far from it, it was extremely strong!) and, the ‘Sweet Basil’ (lillet blanc, basil, Hendricks gin, and orange blossom water — I even asked Jorge, the bartender on shift that evening, to customize a little bit more to make it more tangy, so he added fresh lemon juice — this beverage was sooo delicious and sooo refreshing!!!). I definitely recommend in sitting up at the bar, as you can watch the bartenders do their magic — the way that they prepare each drink was just full of knowledge and passion, and it was literally like watching an art performance — quite wonderful! I have to say that I was quite surprised when Jorge slapped the basil leaf: O (yes, he literally SLAPPED it!), for the ‘Sweet Basil’ drink I ordered, which produced and created a wonderful aroma and more of a basil flavoring throughout the sip — pretty awesome! Adrienne M. had this preview drink, made by the other bartender, Ofny, that was a mixture of pisco sour and pomegranate — this had a nice foamy top from the egg whites, and it was overall a very smooth drink. I loved the oversized ice cubes, and the interesting old Western saloon/burlesque/‘20s ambiance. They also offer the space as a place for venue/​private events. 2-​hour parking can be found on Columbus, and the bar is located right across from Chico’s. Definitely check them out! :D

The Cat’s Meow! Once you go to this Speakeasy you will find it hard to forget and even harder to duplicate because only so many people are given the artistic talent of mixology that Julien has perfected in his young but very experienced age. Everything he makes is a small liquid masterpiece that inspires your taste buds to learn the jig and tap dance all-​over your mind’s eye. All barkeeps are NOT created equal and Julien is the exceptional jedi-​master that all the other’s aspire to be.
All the drinks are made with only the finer grades of alcohol and then using in-​house made syrups and concoctions that only serve to enhance the drinking experience. You can find frothy velvety egg-​whites, burning peanut shells, melting sugar cubes, and foam made from Guinness. Those are just a few unique happenings you might witness while sitting across from the ever-​enchanting Julien as he performs his magic to the delight of all your senses.
I haven’t even gotten into the old-​school gangster-​style cool the entire atmosphere exudes… it’s like stepping back into time as you ascend the twilight lit staircase and adjust your sight to the soft flickering glow of candlelight, yes real candles. It’s quiet yet inviting, you’ll make new friends and you’ll never feel crowded because the only way you get in is with a reservation. One must make it online before ever sashaying your way over to the nondescript townhouse door illuminated by only a blue light.
So if you plan to go, get fancy, dress up, make a night of it, once you get there, you won’t want to leave, the servers are extremely friendly and the scene is something from an old black and white movie… cool and tough all at the same time.

I’ve gotta say 2 things about this place to start this review off…
1. People always were looking for Waldo in the Where’s Waldo books when we were kids. This has been a constant question mark in mind of «Where’s Julien?» He’s definitely no Waldo, but ever since TNT closed on Columbia Pike — my love for his drinks have not been answered until last night when lo and behold he is a bartender at PX!
2. I’ve been wanting to try PX for nearly 2 years. I’ve passed it a million times, but never got around to getting to it or it never crossed my mind when I was in the area. It’s been awhile since I had a huge night on the town like I did last night with my friend Adrienne.
Now the review
Adrienne M. and I were sitting in another bar contemplating of where our next destination should be. Where we were was not cutting the feeling for what we wanted. Going through my bookmarks on the Unilocal app — I remembered PX. It was literally half a block from where we were.
The address is listed as King Street. Fact is, the entrance is not on King Street. It is on the intersecting street, South Columbus Street. It is very easily missed because as most speakeasies I’ve come across — the door is unmarked. The only way to find it is the blue light hanging above the door. Again, I wouldn’t have known this if I would not have looked at the Unilocal photos. Thank you for the photos. They helped a lot!
When you walk up, you have to ring a door bell. The door is closed and can only be opened from the inside. The hostess asked us if we had a reservation — the answer being ‘no’ — she instructed us we were only allowed to have one drink before departing the establishment due to previous reservations being made ‘months in advanced’.
Me: *Rolls eyes and proceeds through the door*
Adrienne: unscathed.
We walked up the stairs to the second floor where we were directed to the bar. We sat by a few other patrons for about an hour. I was so thrilled to see Julien and to hear how he had been since the closing of TNT, and to hear he was doing really well and also working at Restaurant Eve. Apparently, 2 of the patrons had just got done eating there and were raving about it. *Bookmarks Restaurant Eve on Unilocal*
The ambiance of PX is similar to The Gibson. Dark, seductive, and filled with attractive people. I have to admit I felt under-​dressed for the occasion, but no mention of it ever came to light. I love the chandeliers along with the bar backdrop. It’s something I would like to have in my own home when I become rich (wishful thinking) and capable of having a fully stocked bar with exotic, expensive liquors in it just because I can. Again… wishful thinking.
The drink menu is created daily. I don’t know if they have reoccurring drinks that appear nightly, but by my understanding — they change the specialty drinks up daily with prices ranging from $ 13.50 minimum for the one to $ 16 for more special creations on the menu. I had Julien create me one from scratch and it was $ 14. Adrienne ordered hers from the menu for $ 16.
I wrote down my drink because I want to have it again! In my drink was:
Four Roses whiskey, lemon and lime, apple infused lemon verbena, egg white, powdered sugar and topped with cinnamon. Adrienne took a photo of it – go look. I told Julien I was craving something along the lines of a pisco sour. He made his own interpretation of it. Loved it!
When he asked about having another round, I disclosed what the hostess had told us we could only stay for one round. He said he had to honor what she said and we had to go because of the reservation that was in place.
This is where I was a completely put off. I wasn’t put off by the fact we needed to go because of the reservation… I was put off by the fact when we were leaving out the door, we heard the hostess tell another walk-​in couple that they had an hour to drink at the bar. She didn’t give them a limit of drinks. She had just got done talking to us about the place before we departed. We left when the door rang with the new patrons wanting to come in.
When we were still sitting at the bar, there were 3 bar seats open. Ultimately we could have stayed is the way I perceived it. I’m not trying to go over the hostess’s head or anything, but when there were empty seats, the reservation people hadn’t shown up and the seats are empty for 30+ minutes during our time there — we could have stayed for one more drink. The new patrons would have just taken our seats with those 3 seats still open. I would have appreciat

Charming, charming, charming! I loved the intimate atmosphere of a bygone era and the cocktails were a masterpiece! This place is a must see if you are in Old Towne.
From the blue light to the candlelight stairway the place exudes such a romantic atmosphere. The bartender is a genius mixologist and the menu will leaving wanting more.

After a few tries I finally managed to get into PX. If you are as bad as I am about making reservations try going right at 6 pm when they open. Worked like a charm on a freezing cold January night. This tactic might not work as well on a beautiful summer evening, but it’s worth shot. Anyways, the speakeasy is charming, dimly lit, lots of mirrors and beads covering chandeliers, definitely gives you that 1920’s feel. We were first sat in a small back room filled with 4 couches facing each other. I didn’t love ambiance, it felt a little awkward facing other couples. I think cocktail tables would have been a better choice.
Anyways, we asked to be seated at the gorgeous bar and our request was accommodated. The bar was a good choice, we were able to watch the bar tender craft the cocktails and ask questions. As expected the bar was stocked with all sorts of fancy ingredients so it was amusing to watch the drinks being made. I tired the Sweet Basil and it was delish it was also equally beautiful with a pretty pink hue and decorated with a large basil leaf. My husband tried the Ricky Ross, (yum, I could drink that one next time) and another with a crazy name that included maple syrup. That drink tasted a little too boozy for my tastes. All in all I enjoyed my time at PX and would like to come again, hopefully I can remember to make reservations. As a whole PX has a very nice ambiance, the drinks are well crafted, and seem priced pretty well for the quality and experience.

What an amazing discovery. I came here with three other people without a reservation on a Wednesday night and we got lucky to be seated right away. Seems like they want to give you the vibe of a pretty exclusive/​secret spot. We were told that Friday and Saturday nights are a definite reservation only time because of how busy it gets.
You get the 1920s feel of PX and I was really feeling it! All of the drinks have interesting names and having a starting price of about $ 13.50. I got a cocktail that tasted like grapefruit and it was great! We were only allowed to be there for one round of drinks, but our waitress was super nice and offered us a second round. We politely declined but will definitely be coming back with a reservation!

Many a wonderful evening we have spent at the hidden bar above the fish and chips shop. Both alone and in groups, special occasions and on an average night out, PX never fails to delight.
The cocktails are made by hand with special ingredients that sometimes take months to prepare. The staff is knowledgable and fun, they make the experience spectacular! Take time to read the menu, the staff can help if you can’t decide. Relax, enjoy!
P. S. Don’t be the person that orders a beer.
