OH MY GOODNESS. Vintage cocktail glasses and sets! I fell in love with a 7 glass set with teal sea horses and a gold trim. Gorgeous. Wish I had an extra $140 lying around for cocktail glasses. I love those days when there was more emphasis on cocktail hour. You need to use the right glasses for each drink. No solo cups here! Not all the sets were that pricey. They have cute watermelon ones that I would expect to see in my grandma's cabinet along with an array of designs, sizes, weights and styles. Luv luv luv it.

And the two story row house/store is awesome too. They have a renovated kitchen upstairs with wooden floors. I could live here. - Nina

Thank you, Nina! We acutally use our kitchen upstairs for cocktail classes! Sign up for our email list (right column, under the map!) and we can keep you updated with our events schedule!

Your store surprised me. I did not expect to find as many vintage cocktail items as you have stocked. It really must be a work of love for you. - Fred Stahl at The Martini Institute

Thank you, Fred! We are so glad that you stopped in and are very excited about The Martini Institute in Arlington, Virginia!

Hi everyone at The Hour; I love the designer bios. What wonderful information. Thank you for your research!
 

We are so glad the designer bios are helpful! We are continually researching and spending lots of time at the Library of Congress learning more about our beloved designers!

Great  place to get gifts for weddings, showers, and hostesses.  Lots of unique glassware and tabletop accessories.  If you like to entertain, this is also a neat place to get conversation pieces. - Virginia

Friendly sales associates and a very cute store for anyone who would like to host a martini party, or just to decorate your place if you have some liquor at home.  They have cute cocktail glasses, sword picks (my favorite!), and other little knick knacks to give a cocktail hour that extra pizazz.

A great store that sells vintage cocktail sets and a few other things. I'm not a big antique shopper, but whenever I'm in Old Town the wife and I make sure to stop by and check this place out. We actually finally made our first purchase around Christmas, and all our friends and family always tell us how much they love our vintage 50's glasses and ice server. One of the most unique stores and concepts I've ever seen. If you're in Alexandria you have to check this place out, I guarantee you'll love it.

Great store!   Good mix of vintage and current cocktail related items! Some jewelry and other items, too.  Great for yourself or for gifts.  Recommended.  Only issue with the store is it does not ship, so you cannot send out of town gifts, etc.

Thank you for  your feedback - we now offer shipping! We can ship anywere in the country!

I've never seen a store like this, it is built entirely around the idea of a cocktail hour -- with really unique barware and accessories.  A mix of old and new.

To satisfy your home cocktail craze, meet a store full of antique and new shakers, cocktail glasses, bar tools, glass stirrers, the works.  Obviously procured by a buyer with an eye, this store is super fun and super unexpected.

A great place for a gift that will surely be well received, or a shaker for celebratory toasts -- or chasing away the blues.

This is a wonderful little store selling vintage and new cocktail glasses and other cocktail 'equipment.'  The staff is friendly and welcoming and are happy to talk about their collection.  The owner will even take down your interests - if you're looking for particular designs, styles, colors, etc. - and keep an eye out for them on her regular buying excursions.  Oh, and lest I forget, their collection is beautiful!  Even if you're not in the market for cocktail ware, this is definitely a fun place at least to wander.

I was looking for wine glasses for my father's birthday.  I found this shop online and since it wasn't far from my office went to take a look.  They have a gorgeous collection of glassware at surprisingly reasonable prices.  I got a set of 5 wine glasses for $50 and they're beautiful.  They packed my purchase up very securely for my train ride.  I mentioned I had never noticed them before and they said they had only opened about 4 months ago.  I will definately be back for more gifts.
