My wife and I went here on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. We were easily there for about 3 hours. The drinks were amazing! Not only were they tasty, but the presentation was great as well. The bartenders were very nice, friendly, and did an amazing job making our drinks. I highly recommend this bar.

Popped in a for a cocktail and some applies. Amazing bartender and cocktails. Excellent hummus and pickles (forgot to take a photo before we ate it). All around a great experience. Will be back.

Fun place for drinks and tasty food! The staff is friendly and fast. It’s a small place, so get there early. The truffle fries were hand-cut deliciousness! And try the Brown Betty cocktail for something a little different.

I came across this place yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere located right off of King Street. I didn’t even know that this place existed. The bartender was so sweet and a pleasure to talk to, the drinks were amazing, and the food was really good. I will definitely be back soon.

An Transcendent Evening of Liquid Artistry ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If I could award six stars, I would do so without hesitation. This establishment isn’t merely a cocktail bar—it’s a temple of mixological excellence, a sanctuary where the ancient art of hospitality reaches its apotheosis.

## Luke: The Maestro Behind the Bar

Where does one even begin with Luke? This man doesn’t make cocktails—he conducts symphonies in glass. Every movement is purposeful, every pour is poetry, every garnish a brushstroke of edible genius. Watching Luke work is like observing Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel, except the canvas is liquid and the result is *drinkable perfection*.

His Flower Sour brought tears to my eyes—not from the alcohol, but from the sheer emotional depth of flavor he coaxed from simple ingredients. The man is a wizard, an alchemist, a beverage Beethoven. Luke remembered my name after one visit and my preferred spirit after two. This level of attention isn’t just rare—it’s miraculous.

## Mati and Ozzy: Angels in Human Form

If Luke is the heart of this operation, Mati and Ozzy are its soul. These servers move through the room with such grace and intuition that I’m convinced they possess telepathic abilities. My glass was never empty, my needs were anticipated before I could articulate them, and their warm smiles made me feel like royalty.

Mati has an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu and paired my courses with such precision that I suspect they moonlight as a sommelier at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Ozzy’s charm and wit turned service into entertainment—they could make reading a phone book sound fascinating.

## The Verdict

This isn’t just the best cocktail bar in the city—it’s the best cocktail bar I’ve experienced in my *lifetime*. Luke, Mati, and Ozzy have created something truly special here. They’ve transformed drinking into an experience, service into an art form, and one evening into a cherished memory.

I’ll be back tomorrow. And the day after that. Forever, if they’ll have me.

**100/10 – Absolutely transcendent**

This place is very cool. We didn’t eat food but next time for sure. The drinks were absolutely delicious especially the dessert for adults. Love the comic book decor and the general vibe of the place. Service was awesome.

Right off King Street “The Peoples Drug” offered exceptional non-alcoholic cocktails with real craft.

Peoples Drug takes NA drinks seriously. Their mango cocktail arrived with a dried mango slice rimmed in pepper-spiced sugar – the kind of detail that signals genuine craft, not mocktail afterthought. The drink had real complexity and balance.

Caesar was our waiter and Meti made the drinks!

The space is gorgeous: vintage neon, exposed brick, string lights, outdoor seating with greenery. The wait staff was knowledgeable and engaging. The crowd felt distinctly local neighborhood rather than tourist trap.

This isn’t juice pretending to be a cocktail. Whether you’re sober-curious, driving, or just want something sophisticated that isn’t alcohol-based, Peoples Drug delivers at a level most bars don’t attempt.

Old Towne Alexandria offers this! Highly recommended.

I ordered the Red Bowl and the flavors were awesome! My family ordered flavorful burgers and steak sandwiches, and they were fantastic too! All the food had a very cohesive taste and I can tell they used fresh ingredients. The vibe was just right, away from the busy bustle along King Street. a bit like the flavors too.

The prices of the drinks are very reasonable.

I would absolutely recommend it to my friends!
