Hummingbird Bar + Kitchen

“We had dinner here tonight. The service was excellent. The food and drinks were delicious. It was a very cool atmosphere with views of the waterfront. It was a little pricey, but overall a good experience.”

“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.

“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. Our wedding was such a special day, and while there are a lot of reasons for that - we are so happy that it happened at Hummingbird. Thank you, Kenneth, to you and your staff for making it happen.”

“Had our wedding at Hummingbird and couldn't be happier with our decision. Kenneth is a pro's pro and he and his staff are extraordinary. We were able to buy out the restaurant and side patio for over 6 hours and celebrate our ceremony, dinner, reception all under one roof (with the bonus of hosting our guests at the attached Hotel Indigo). Planning a wedding without coordinators was stressful until we started to meet with Kenneth. He and his staff swiftly took care of all the behind the scenes details from menu selection, setup, teardown, food and drink service, and coordinating with our vendors like our DJ with setup and all associated questions / needs they had. We brought our own decor and Kenneth not only decorated the entire venue but made the vision come to life better than we ever expected. Can't forget about the food. Almost every guest at our wedding commented that our dinner was one of the best they've had at a wedding which would have made our decision to book at Hummingbird worth it alone (the amish chicken especially was a hit). The bar service was incredible as well. Kenneth designed 2 killer signature cocktails that not only fit our theme but were possibly more well-received than dinner. We want to thank all the good people at Hummingbird one last time for hosting our family and friends. They made our wedding as special as possible and I can't recommend them enough. We'll be back for dinner regularly!”

“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.”
