Hummingbird Bar and Kitchen

Stopped by Hummingbird Bar & Kitchen inside the Hotel Indigo Old Town Alexandria and really enjoyed it. The shrimp Louie salad was fresh, light, perfectly cooked shrimp and just the right balance of flavors. The cocktails were the standout for me. I tried the Rose in Bloom and loved it! Definitely one of those drinks you remember and would order again. Great vibe, thoughtful menu, and a solid spot whether you’re staying at the hotel or just popping in from Old Town. I’d happily come back for drinks (and that salad) again.

We loved having breakfast at Hummingbird Bar & Kitchen. The restaurant sits right on the Alexandria waterfront, inside the Hotel Indigo, with huge windows facing the Potomac River that fill the space with soft morning light — perfect if you enjoy calm mornings. The coastal vibe is relaxed and elegant without trying too hard. We ordered the French toast with crispy bacon and the eggs Benedict with potatoes — everything was delicious and beautifully presented. It’s one of those breakfasts where you don’t rush… you just enjoy the moment. If you’re staying nearby or exploring the waterfront, this restaurant is an excellent choice to start your day with great food and a peaceful river view. I really enjoyed taking pictures here.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Hummingbird, and we can’t say enough about how wonderful this venue was! From the very beginning, Kenneth, the event coordinator, was exceptionally responsive and communicative, taking the time to quickly and thoroughly answer all of our questions and ensure he was able to make our wedding vision come to life. For a smaller to mid-sized wedding reception, there is plenty of space in Hummingbird. The floor to ceiling windows give you a beautiful view of the Potomac and the space flows out nicely to an open patio. The food and service were also excellent, with several of our guests particularly noting how good the short ribs and crab cakes were! Planning a wedding can be stressful, and reserving Hummingbird, and working with Kenneth, made the w

False advertising?! Dining out is never by chance for me. I have studied the menu, read the reviews, and planned out my health conscious meal during the day to be ready to indulge at the restaurant. Sadly, all my research fell short for Hummingbird. Apparently there is a Monday “special menu” that is limited and also has features not available other days. I went tonight with my heart set on the whole grilled fish and hush puppies that I reviewed on the website multiple times. Not available. I still wanted fish, and there was a salmon linguine option. This dish is only offered on Mondays. It was flavorful but heavier than I wanted for the evening. I was clearly upset, however the food was still good, giving the 4 star review. Salmon linguine: 5/5 crispy skin. Lemon cream sauce that was th

Hummingbird Bar + Kitchen was our wedding venue for both the ceremony and reception. We booked with them in Feb. 2025 for an October 2025 wedding, and in those ~8 months, we probably emailed back and forth with Kenneth 100 times. He is a 5 star Event & General Manager - so patient with us, answering all our questions, and filling our requests. The setting was perfect, the staff set up and tore down the entire space for our event, and they were incredibly attentive, kind, and professional throughout. Our guests raved about the food, the hummingbird cake, and the setting along the Potomac river. The location was incredibly convenient for us and our guests - many who stayed upstairs in Hotel Indigo or nearby, walking distance, and everyone enjoyed the charm of visiting Old Town, Alexandria. O
