#Crafting Unique Cocktail Experiences

Where History Pours and Stories Unfold

Nestled in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, the historic brick walls of 215 S Union St have long been a sanctuary for those seeking the warm, buttery aroma of freshly made crepes and the rich, comforting embrace of expertly brewed coffee. This is Café du Soleil, a beloved daytime institution founded on a passion for genuine French-inspired hospitality and community.

But as the sun sets and the last espresso cup is cleared, a transformation begins. The familiar café gives way to Bar 86, a hidden world where the spirit of adventure is poured into every glass. Born from the Prohibition-era lore of Chumley’s Bar at 86 Bedford Street, Bar 86 reimagines speakeasy culture with a modern twist.

The door is unmarked for a reason. The best stories always are.
