Happenings

Make the most of this season with Old Town Alexandria events planned by King & Rye. New seasonally inspired cocktails, Old Town’s favorite dining experiences, creative culinary combinations — we have a gamut of events for you to experience.

Chef's Supper Club

The Southern-style of Alexandria, Virginia's King & Rye meets the Philadelphia Steakhouse of Urban Farmer, during this 7-course dinner experience and whiskey tasting. Executive Chef's Tomas Chavarria and Sonny Ingui work side-by-side to bring you a round-up of courses that showcase the different styles of each restaurant and chef. American Whiskey Ambassador Beth Burrows guides you through a Basil Hayden's tasting perfectly paired with each course.
