The Gadsby’s Tavern Museum is a really cool museum that is steeped in history. Founding fathers slept, ate and celebrated many occasions here. High recommend for a intimate experience back into history.

What a little gem of American history. Gary did a fantastic job of bringing that history to life with his tour. The museum is set up for self-guided tours, but if there's a docent available, you'll have a much better experience - the stories are great! Pat in the gift shop was super friendly and helpful as well. A bargain at only $5!

Stopped in for a quick lunch after being told from multiple people that this is a "must see" place in Old Town Alexandria. And let me tell you, they were right! It was lunch time so there were a few groups of people. There was a long wait time to get a table mainly due to low staffing. But everyone I encountered was super friendly and welcoming. After reading the pamphlet about the history of the tavern, I asked the waitress if they still sold the rum punch because I didn't see it on the menu. She said that they do and would check if they had any made. Even though she was super busy helping so many tables, she made a special trip to the basement to get my drink. I felt so sorry for her because then other patrons started asking me what this drink is that looked so good and they started asking for it as well! All in all, I would certainly recommend and will be going again when I'm back in town. Good food, friendly staff and many, many years of history in this place!

Wonderful and enlightening, the tour of this early hotel shows the dining and temp quarters where George Washington stayed on his many trips from Mt Vernon to the city. A hub of current events and public gatherings, it is steeped in history. Great guides.

$5 to tour hotel museum or $8 for guided tour. Great gift shop too! No restroom, but there is one in the basement in the historic tavern/restaurant next door. We had a good lunch there & loved the warm apple cider. Reasonable prices. Lots of shops within a few blocks & Potomac marina within walking distance too.

Best tasting (restaurant) meatloaf I've ever enjoyed. Fascinating history. Friendly wait staff. Wish the museum had been open ..

I've actually been to this museum a few times. Right now they are doing mostly self guided tours, but you can book a group tour and eventually they will likely get back to timed tours. This historic tavern/hotel played host to many famous people including several founding fathers. It is a very rich piece of early American history. Also part of the American whiskey trail. They have a great little gift shop as well. Worth the stop in if you are in old town.

Historic old tavern where both George Washington and Thomas stayed at times. You can walk through on your own for 5$ but pay the extra 3 dollars for the guided tour

Visited on free Museum Weekend, certain museums offer no fee admission, took the guided tour which covered all interior levels. You can take the tour on your own as well. After the guided tour you can go back on your own for more in depth research if you desire.

華盛頓曾在此壽宴 ERECTED 1792 POPULAR RESORT AND FAMOUS HOSTELRY OF THE EICHTEENTH CENTURY HERE WAS HELD IN 1798 THE FIRST CELEBRRATION OF WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY IN WHICH HE PARTICIPATED, AND FROM ITS STEPS WASHINGTON HELD HIS LAST MILITARY REVIEW AND GAVE HIS LAST MILITARY ORDER,NOVEMBER 1799.

The host who checked us in was very friendly and enthusiastic on answering any questions we had before and after our self guided tour. She made sure everyone was kept safe during this time of covid. The tavern was very beautiful and fascinating !

I've taken the guided tour twice and glad I did. Each time I learned such interesting information. This place was important in the early years of our country's formation and George Washington came here often. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The gift shop has many lovely things for children and history lovers at reasonable prices.

Fun place to check out in old town Alexandria to learn about some of the history of the area. My toddler loved running in the ballroom. If you can attend one of the balls it's well worth it and a fun experience.

Booked a company luncheon here for 23 people. I called and emailed about a dozen restaurants in Old Town and most did not bother to try earn our business. However Tricia got us all set up with a private room and delicious food! Our waitress Abby was on top of everything too! I can't wait to go back and night for a special dinner with my spouse!

Cool atmosphere, delicious food. We went at lunch with a large group and there was only one server working that day. I was impressed with how she managed the tables and still brought us hot food out at the same time. I have the French dip sandwich and it was delicious

Cute place to visit. Have a beer!

One of alexandria's excellent historical museums. It details the history of taverns in early American history and in alexandria specifically. The displays offer detailed and interesting historical tales, and although the museum is small, it can take a while to get through. $5 for adults, but alexandria residents are free. It combines well with a visit to the tavern next door. A great stop for history buffs.

We greatly enjoyed stopping by here. For only $5 a person, we were happy to support the preservation and historic work of the museum. It's always interesting to peer into the everyday life of the past. Staff was friendly and helpful. Next time, we will consider stopping for lunch at the tavern next door.

Very cool piece of history. There's not much to the actual content of the museum but what it does have is great. Lunch here was also fantastic.

What a great experience! Just the history alone makes it special to dine here. Our food was delicious and the server was wonderful.
