About the event
Modern cocktails for Old Town Cocktail Week
OTCW: Experimental Cocktail Night W/ Empirical Spirits is an Old Town Cocktail Week event in Alexandria. The format is a specialty cocktail evening built around modern experimental cocktails at Captain Gregory's, with the event description placing the focus on celebrating the week through a drinks-led program.
The cocktail program specifically uses modern bar techniques, including rotovaps, distillates, and separator funnels. Those details make the event more defined than a general cocktail night: the named format centers on contemporary preparation methods and progressive drinks rather than a standard bar service description.
Menu format and food
Guests receive access to either a curated tasting menu or an à la carte menu of modern progressive cocktails. The same menu details include food items from Captain Gregory's kitchen, so the event combines the cocktail program with food available from the venue.
The clearest named subject is the cocktail program itself, supported by the tasting-menu or à la carte cocktail structure.
Place and admission details
The event is held at Captain Gregory's, identified as a bar in Alexandria. The venue address is 804 N Henry St, Alexandria, VA 22314, giving the event a specific Old Town-area location rather than a citywide or multi-venue format in the available details.
The listed ticket price is $15.00 per guest plus tax. That amount functions as a deposit credited toward the final bill, which is a useful distinction because the price is not described as the total cost of the cocktails and food consumed during the evening.
