The Hour: dedicated to all things cocktail

Helping you enjoy your cocktails at home is something we appreciate at The Hour.  We seek to reinvent today's cocktail hour by bringing back mid-century style for home entertaining but with a decidedly modern-day twist.  We specialize in one-of-a-kind vintage chic barware, glassware and trays from notable designers such as Dorothy Thorpe, Georges Briard, Fred Press, Culver and Couroc.  New products, including glassware from Schott Zwiesel, Roost and Impulse and trays from Rock, Flower, Paper, J. Fleet Designs and Pacific Connections, blend with our vintage treasures and are artfully displayed in our historic building located on King Street in Old Town Alexandria.

You will find everything you need at The Hour to create your own stylish bar and enjoy that special time of day, including glassware, shakers, pitchers, jiggers, muddlers and stirrers, napkins and even bar carts. To enhance your cocktail wardrobe, we offer a large collection of new and vintage cocktail jewelry as well as a great selection of vintage-inspired clutch handbags.  We are also a great source for hostess and bridal gifts as well as gifts for that special occasion.

Delivered to your doorstep: we ship

See something you just have to have?  Give The Hour a call at 703-224-4687 and we'll check to see that your item is still in stock (the majority of our items are one-of-a-kinds and don't last long in our store).  Give us your zip code, we'll contact our shipper for shipping charges and call you back with a total cost.  If you're still interested, we'll ring up the sale over the phone and ship it out in our next shipment.  Yes, it's that easy to ship!

Please be aware that our website displays many, but not all, of the items in our collection.  Since our items change frequently, so does our website... so check back often!  Also, since we are constantly on the lookout for new vintage treasures, we receive new arrivals almost daily.  Feel free to contact us if you are seeking a particular something special and we'll add the item to our wish list and contact you if we find it.
