Transportation and Parking

By Gloria Quincy
Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant is located in Old Town Alexandria, a bustling area of shops and restaurants.

DC Metro
Old Town Alexandria is accessible from the Washington, DC Metro system via the King Street-Old Town station on the yellow line. See here for a Metro map and here for more information on the King Street station.

Airports
The closest airport is Reagan National. Reagan National is on the Metro yellow line, two stations away from the King Street station. The DC area is also served by the Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International airports, but each is much farther away from Alexandria.

King Street Trolley
There is a free trolley that runs from the King Street Metro station to the waterfront, passing very close to the Tavern (at the stop on the corner of King Street and N. Royal Street). It runs daily every 15 minutes. See the website here for more information.

Parking
There are several parking facilities serving Old Town Alexandria, and most garage parking is $5 per day on weekends. The most convenient to Gadsby's are the Tavern Square Parking Garage, 418 Cameron Street, which has a pedestrian entrance in the same block of Royal Street as the Tavern, and the Market Square Parking Garage, 108 N. Fairfax Street, which is directly across Royal Street from the Tavern. Complete information on parking is available here.

There is also metered parking on a number of streets.

Taxis
If those staying in a particular hotel want to, they could also share a taxi to the Tavern. See Alexandria Yellow Cab for example. Uber and Lyft are also common in the DC area.

Francaise Dinner 2017!

By
This year, we ask that you make your dinner selections when you book your ticket.    A full booking includes the names of all people in your party, who is ordering what (Alice – chicken, chocolate cake; Bob – crab cakes, cheesecake), and payment.  Please also let us know any allergens the kitchen should be aware of at the time of the booking.  Knowing names, rather than strictly the numbers of each entrée, helps us help the servers, especially in the case of allergen disclosures.  We will work with you and the kitchen to ensure you get safe and tasty courses. The ticket price is $65.  This includes bread service, a garden salad, your choice of entrée, your choice of dessert, a champagne toast, and non-alcoholic beverages (soft drinks, iced tea, coffee).  A cash bar will be available. The menu selections: Entrée (all served with roasted potatoes, unless otherwise specified, and seasonal vegetables) Maryland-Style Jumbo Lump Crab C...

Thank you so much to all who attended the Fourth Annual Francaise Dinner. We were very pleased to be able to welcome so many fine folks to Gadsby's Tavern Restaurant last night. And we all looked fabulous, if I do say so myself! Here is a draft copy of the group photo, courtesy of our intrepid photographer Beth of BWPW Photography . It has not had the benefit of Beth's photo editing skills, but she wanted to give us all a preview quickly (thank you Beth!). Final copies of photos from last night will be available in a gallery set up by Beth. We will post the link online here on the website when it is available. We hope to see you at next year's dinner!
