The tour is an awesome deal! Grab a cocktail from the bar before you go down. It can help if you taste something you don't drink often or enjoy. Line up your tasting glasses for the pourer too! Cheers

Rye whiskey is my favorite but the spiced rum, ginever and bourbon are great
The Bloody Mary w/horseradish vodka is awesome...also try the Mon Cheri-like melted dark chocolate with a sweet cherry at the bottom. Outstanding!
Amazing space with the best vodka I've ever had. Feels like you're walking into an epic science experiment.
Be sure to try one of the whiskey/vodka flights. Based off your favorite, you can choose a Featured or Signature cocktail to your liking.
Very cool setting in the KY hills for a historic bourbon operation. Well worth the time to take the warehouse tour and taste samples.

Amazing cocktails - definitely try the garden variety margarita and the moonshine drink!

Cocktail bar that’s unpretentious enough that you could walk in on for a casual drink and the big charcuterie plate, but vibey enough to continue a date night. Drinks made to your taste + Back Patio
Check in with the hostess at the door if you want to grab a seat at the bar. The cocktails here are fantastic (try their version of a margarita). Had a tasty little fried shrimp appetizer. Great music
Great vibe, incredibly chill. All of the drinks are too easy to drink. That's the best compliment I can give.
Tucked away in Brooklyn. Look for the feather on a big black door. Dimly lit and a perfect setting to sip on some prohibition era drinks. Their version of old fashioned was perfect.
Bourbon fans, don't be a afraid of this. Bitters bring out interesting notes, orange is a nice twist as well.
Such a cool place- I mean, the entrance is a refrigerator door. Snow cone cocktails all year round! 🍧
Try the Maharaja! Amazing cocktail with tons of very interesting Indian flavors
The Hawaiian bread is legit. Any cocktail is a winner, I prefer the high-octane ones. :)
