Go for the happy hour, and the ambiance. This is definitely a great spot, if you can take advantage of that happy hour pricing. Remember, bargain, value, and quality are the name of the game. Came in here for an event, had like 30 plus people in...Read More

Solid bourbon selection and great environment and atmosphere. Where you can find a local big name celebrity and a normal bourbon fan enjoying pours side by side.

A good mix of older and younger people to create a nice vibe for everyone. Amazing rye Manhattan and surprisingly good food: it’s not bar food.

This is a fantastic whisky bar. Drinks are great, bartenders are personable. It's bar food, so not life altering but it's solid. The atmosphere is exactly what you think a whisky bar should be. Have been here before, and will come back again.
$30–50Atmosphere: 5There is veggie optionsSomewhat difficult to find parkingTragically there were children and babies in the bar in the afternoon, luckily none of them ruined the atmosphere.

Really cute spot with a good-sized back patio. The decor and vibe were great and all of the bartenders were friendly. I had a burger, a mocktail and a mixed drink and all were sublime. Would be good for a birthday or group of friends!
