Opened just over a month ago, D.W. Alexander is a sophisticated cocktail bar that teeters between modern slick and rustic charm that dates back to the late 19th Century. Boasting a clean update by The Design Agency and accentuated with custom lighting by Milke Bau Lighting Design, owner Jamil Kamal's downtown haunt offers intimate high-end drinking and bites - cocktails by Aaron Beaudouin and an all-local snack bar menu by Sean Simons - where, eventually, everyone will know your name.
