COOPER MILL

10 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 

Cooper Mill, a market, tavern, and event space housed in one of Old Town's last waterfront warehouses, is now open in Alexandria. Named after the former mill on the site and the craftsmen who worked inside it, Cooper Mill preserves the charm of the brick warehouse, built in1856 as a manufacturing plant to create barrels for the Alexandria Flour Company and later serving as a Civil War mess hall for the Union Army. The two-story, 6,400 square-foot warehouse encompasses a market offering grab and go breakfast foods and coffee, sandwiches, soups, prepared foods, fresh breads and baked goods from Landini’s various locations, as well as beer, wine and other high demand market items; a casual tavern on the first floor, featuring a relaxed vibe surrounded by repurposed materials from the building; and a private event space on the second floor with lots of light, exposed brick, balconies with views of the park and river, repurposed roof trusses and flooring, and the capacity for up to 120 people. For more information, click here.
