Welcome,

The Light Horse is located in the center of Old Town Alexandria right on historic King Street.  We are halfway between the waterfront and the King Street Metro stop.  The Old Town Trolley stop is right in front of our doors!  

The downstairs features a trendy but comfortably quiet dining room with a small service bar that can also seat single diners who don’t wish to sit in the bar upstairs. The upstairs features a more boisterous bar scene that serves as equal parts neighborhood gathering place, sports bar, and late night destination.

The Light Horse is a fun, Old Town restaurant featuring a fresh, seasonal menu, great beer and wine selections, live entertainment and all the necessary distractions people are looking for including skeeball, shuffleboard tables, and interactive games.
