The Mandarin Oriental has live music in their lounge area on Friday and Saturday nights. My DH and I have been several times. The lounge serves snacks and drinks and is a really nice atmosphere.

I agree with OP..I like to see some music..open to genre and have a nice glass of wine but I don't want to be somewhere that only has 20 somethings..Wasn't there a place in Alexandria..it was upstairs? I am going back ykkks 15 years but I recall a place where you could listen to music and have a drink and the age ranged from 25-85..those kind of places I would be interested in hearing recent input. It is nice to go out and mix it up a bit.
