About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
The Alex is a tribute to prohibition. This cozy speakeasy takes you back to the 1920’s with a touch of modern swank. Enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail menu, bites from our Chef selected shareables or one of our weekly featured dishes. Telephone-themed details pay homage to the bar’s eponym, Alexander Graham Bell. Only accessible by keyless entry using a special code, The Alex is the ideal destination to mosey up to the bar and spend the evening partying like it’s still the prohibition era.

Currently playing: The Blue Dot Jazz Band, every Friday & Saturday 6:30pm - 9:00pm.

    The cocktails were not good. Based on the taste of the cocktails, the place does not have a passion for making cocktails. The cocktails tasted like I would drink as a poor college kid.

    This is a true speakeasy with delicious drinks and small plate options. It’s dark and then jazzy once the band begins playing.

    Nice vibe but mostly older people. Service was great. Drinks were good (especially Marilyn Monroe ) but too much ice. Lamb chops were great, tuna lettuce wraps were very bad, blue dot jazz troupe were amazing. Cost was expensive but it was a special event -so worth it. Would go again

    Nice vibe in a nice location. Lamb chops were excellent. Three-piece jazz band was good but a little loud for the space. Overall, a great spot. Definitely going back.

    The food was okay. I heard so much about it, but it went there to listen to jazz, but they were average and food was okay….
