    Why go

    Book Bar 86 for a moody Old Town Alexandria cocktail date, not for a full dinner or wine-list-focused night. At $40 per person, the value is in the intimate speakeasy-style room, smart casual atmosphere, and Asian-meets-tiki cocktail direction.

    About Bar 86

    Bar 86 is a venue in Alexandria with a price of $40 per person and a smart casual dress code. Beyond those points, this listing does not verify details for cuisine, drinks, hours, reservations, seating, outdoor space, food, or service format. That makes Bar 86 a relatively light entry for planning purposes: it gives enough information to frame a basic expectation around cost and attire, but not enough to confidently describe the experience once you arrive.

    Use Bar 86 as a lightly documented Alexandria option where the clearest planning details are budget and attire. If a specific menu, seating setup, reservation policy, or occasion fit matters, confirm those details directly before you go. This is especially important when the plan depends on something more precise than simply choosing a place in Alexandria at a known per-person price.

    What is for Bar 86

    The planning information is direct: Bar 86 is in Alexandria, the price is $40 per person, and the dress code is smart casual. It confirms only the essentials currently available here: where it is broadly located, what the per-person price is, and how guests are advised to dress.

    Because the confirmed data is limited, avoid planning around assumptions. The $40 per person figure may help compare Bar 86 against other Alexandria options, while the smart casual dress code gives a general sense of how polished to be. Still, neither detail explains whether the visit is best suited to drinks, food, a seated meal, a quick stop, or a longer evening.

    At $40 per person, Bar 86 is a venue where guests may want to know more before committing to a visit. Check current details directly if you need to know whether the venue offers outdoor seating, a particular food or drink style, reservations, happy hour, or a specific service format. Those questions are not minor planning extras; they can shape the entire outing. For example, outdoor space matters if the group is choosing based on weather or comfort, while reservations matter if timing is tight. A particular drink or food style may be equally important if the visit is built around preferences rather than location alone.

    Smart casual dress is the attire guidance. In practical terms, that suggests using a middle lane: more considered than very casual clothing, but not necessarily formal. Since no further atmosphere or occasion guidance is here, keep the dress code in mind without assuming the venue’s room, service rhythm, or crowd. If you are comparing options, let the confirmed price and attire note narrow the field, then use direct confirmation to settle anything that would affect the actual plan. For broader planning around Alexandria, use the Alexandria bars guide or the Alexandria restaurants guide.
