Ashwin KumarJanuary 5, 2016The ambience is amazing. Cozy and lively. Very nice bar tenders and cozy couches. Spent a while here on New Year's Eve. Great Scottish whiskey and scotch cocktails that look ok but taste good.
AUTHENTIC neighborhood bar. Excellent service, I feel like I'm part of the family even though I'm not from Scotland! They have THE BEST selection of scotch as well as other cocktails! Ask for Michael!
The Corcoran GroupApril 30, 2012A very small and cozy bar with a great selection of scotches and awesome bartenders. Make sure you check out the back, and snag one of the very comfortable leather club chairs.
Extraordinary Scottish pub! A refreshing change of pace from the typical Irish pub doldrums; truly a UES gem. Satiate your thirst with a dram of Scotch, a pint of Belhaven or an Islay Old Fashioned.
Anthony EvansJuly 21, 2015This is a great scotch place. If you're going to get a beer, get innis & gunn. Fantastic local with an inner circle of long term clientele who drink from bespoke chalices...
Dark, cozy and unpretentious. Impressive selection of beers and scotch. Snag the comfy couches in the back and relax to some great tunes.
Everything. Great selection of scotch and whisky. Food is good too. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable.
NY WaterwayAugust 7, 2012This bar's Scottish heritage makes it stand out from the many nondescrcipt Irish-American bars that populate Manhattan. Whisky selection includes over fifty single malts and forty blended malts.
LjubicaNovember 5, 2015Michael has a special Tinder offer: show him your awkward Tinder convo, get 5% off. He guarantees the savings on an excellent drink but no guarantee on that date ;-)
Monica CullenApril 15, 2015Unique bar in Manhattan with a bible of whiskey. Michael is a great bartender and fan of Game of Thrones!
Is that warm and cozy feeling the whisky, the ambience or the witty bartenders? Probably all of the above. Great beer, wine, cocktails and whisky tastings. And Mike's jokes are better after 10pm.- ✰ David Mathison ✰January 12, 2013One of the best selections around. If you are overwhelmed from all the options (and you might be), ask the bartenders for recommendations - they are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful,
K MJune 23, 2018Excellent whiskey bar. Ask the bartenders for recommendations based on your preferences - they’re great at matching you with the perfect whiskey.
Molly StoddartSeptember 27, 2016Great whiskey bar with a gigantic selection! Friendly bartenders and cozy space.
Not only is the whisk(e)y selection amazing, but the menu is packed with attitude! Come on a weeknight when it's less crowded
If you're in a beer mood, i'd order an Innis and Gunn. If you're in a whisky mood, i'd order Laddie 10. If you're in a cocktail mood, i'd order Islay Old Fashioned. But that's just me. Cale. Drink up.- Local bar with a great, laid back vibe and awesome music. Great cocktails too!
The brew(sky) combinations are a great value! Get a beer and a whisky pairing for under $20. Plus they're delicious.
Chelsea GarberMarch 10, 2013Ask the Scottish bartender for a recommendation here, they aren't snobby. Big leather couches, an intimate atmosphere, and low music make this a good place for conversation.
extensive whiskey options! the menu has a good deal of snark for extra fun
Narrow bar with no TVs and friendly bartenders. Heaven for whisky fans, and a great spot for conversation.
Lisa FJanuary 11, 2018Cozy, dimly lit whiskey bar with some interesting prohibition-esque cocktails. One of my favorite ues spots.
Laura HarringtonMay 9, 2013Check out trivia night on Mondays, it's an education and includes comp. whiskey tastings! And when you're not sampling whiskey, you should be drinking Belhaven.
Want some good music, great company, awesome bartenders, scotch and the best beer ever crafted in Scotland - this is your spot!
Mita M.April 26, 2013Scrumptious sausage rolls, shelves of scotch, a jukebox, handsome bartenders, this girl couldn't be happier.
Lauren VargaOctober 15, 2017Awesome whiskey bar - attentive bar tender was friendly. Great for a quiet conversation- Natalie VNovember 16, 2015Great drinks and cozy atmosphere (with that, it can get crowded). Scotch ale is 👍🏻
Sophie ParksJuly 13, 2015Bartenders advice is great. You tell them what you like and they'll pick the perfect whisky for you.
This is the best bar in the city. And the bartender is pretty awesome too! Drink more scotch, it's good for you!
John PaterakisMay 7, 2017Ask to see "The Bible." More than a menu, it's a complete inventory of the wares, as well as helpful commentary from the owner.
J LeeJuly 25, 2012Massive single malt selection, cudos to Michael for curating it. And there is a William Wallace broadsword above the bar. Awesome
Constantine ZuevDecember 22, 2014Nice and friendly staff. Try the Vintage cocktail if you are not up to beer.
Great drinks, atmosphere and most importantly, charming and attentive bartenders! Michael is the man.- Fantastic whisky selection and Sixpoint on tap - what's not to love?!
Jorge MngSeptember 30, 2018Brew(Sky) = your choice of liquor with a side of beer. What's better than that?
A-Ron ClementsApril 7, 2013Just take it from me when I say you already like the place. It won't save you much time, mind you.... But it will at least save some.
Try the Innis & Gunn Scotch Cask on draft- my new favorite, and tough to find anywhere else
Olivia MomyerOctober 4, 2012If the Penrose is too crowded for you this is where you should be. Still high brow, but less pretentious. Very relaxed environment.
