emily mcgill

with over 150 whiskey options on the menu, this is the perfect upscale hole in the wall for brown liquor lovers. the bartenders are friendly and know how to mix a mean cocktail .

The Corcoran Group

If you love whiskey , come here ASAP. The bartender is extremely knowledgable , and can recommend you types if whiskey that you've never had before.

Wesley Bliss

The only whiskey hold out in Midtown West worth patronizing. Well thought scotch & rye selections , good music (usually something Sinatra esque), and some surprises that are not on the menu (just ask).

Chelsea Renaud

Over in Hell’s Kitchen, this little bar specializes in whiskey – and has a huge selection. If you’re into brown liquor and find yourself on the West Side, this is your spot.

Brian Chalk

Relaxed and chill . Knowledge and excellent all-round bartender (Daniel). Perfect place for a whiskey/scotch aficionado. I live in the neighborhood , and will be back.

Hector

Knowledgeable bartender on great selection of single malt scotch , whiskey , and bourbon . Small, cozy , intimate spot for great conversation.

Patrick Kanaley

Perfect place for a low-key, quiet bar conversation. One of my top choices in Hell's Kitchen. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will guide you through whiskey choices too. A true gem.

Jake Yosafat

Friendly service , intimate setting . Be sure to stop by in January or February as all the exotic distilleries ship their one bottle per year in the early months.

Kim Colaprete

Discovered via Yelp! & fell in love. Best brown liquor troves anywhere. Jeff the bartender will not steer you wrong. Loved all his suggestions. If you love bourbons , scotches & ryes - you must try!

Denis Sosnovtsev

Dark and intimate atmosphere , with a focus on the wall of whiskey . The ambience and whiskey selection are great, but you pay through the roof for 'em. Talking $17 a whiskey . ????

Eric Tash

Very quaint and unassuming place in HK. My coworker brought me here and immediately feel in love. Extensive whiskey and rye selection . Highly recommend if you're a connoisseur or novice.

Andrey Bagdasaryan

370 whiskey selection to choose from. Great vibe, nice music and tiny space (in a good way).

Elaine Ormonde-Hua

All things whiskey with a locals vibe

Ashley Mowrey

All whiskey , all the time. The bartender was a little gruff, but his skills were legitimate and he was professional. The environment is small and intimate , but emphasis on small.

Sanjay ????

After many years I've found out Daniel is no longer here. But Josh is more than capably filling in. Ask him for a recommendation

Natalie A

Friendly bartenders who can help you decide what to drink. Not usually crowded as most places are in the area.

Becca Toth

Come to this classy hole in the wall to experience whisky from around the world. The bartender is knowledgeable , friendly and welcoming.

jon ferrer

wonderful selection of American, Irish, Scotch whiskies and beyond. Also, they have Pappy but you'll pay dearly for it.

Trae F

Cozy , friendly , and very whiskey like. We ordered several rounds of old fashioneds only to find out they were $20 a pop.

Jaim

Whiskey , scotch , bourbon , service, they let you order in food

Martha

a large selection of bourbon , rye and whiskey . they also offer tasting paddles. no beers on tap , only bottles.

Dipanshu Sharma

Love the scotch collection. They have an Indian whiskey that was rated top 3 in the world. Also check out the octomore

Rob Atkinson

The bartenders are the menu here. Tell them what you like and they'll come up with something for you

Dave

Amazing whiskey collection. Awesome place for a nightcap.

Paul Marin

Great selection of whiskeys and tequilas . I recommend the Hudson Baby Bourbon .

Lily

A bourbon lovers' paradise. They even have Pappy stashed on the top shelf (for a hefty price)

Kathleen Oliva

Tried to order a Sazernac Old Fashioned and a Templeton Manhattan . The bartender literally scoffed at us. It's whiskey . It's not that serious, dude.

Jackson Isaacson

Best Manhattan I've had in Manhattan.

Roy Chin

Very low key spot with a great selection

Kellen Barranger

Best whiskey list I've seen anywhere near Times. And it's ALL whiskey not just scotch .

Zack Sheppard

Good selection and a nice space, but everything is about $4 more expensive than it should be.

Josh R

Service and selection is great! Small and intimate atmosphere .

Jonathan Kaczynski

A wide whiskey selection , and knowledgeable bartenders .

Cindy Samper

Good variety of whiskey .

Natalya

Ask the bartender for Pringles with your drinks...you'll get three cans if you are lucky

emily mcgill

Over 150 whiskers behind the bar , friendly bartenders and a small space so it always feels intimate .

Sanjay ????

If Daniel is here have him make you a Manhattan , his choice. You won't go wrong

Adam Schuit

Actually a great selection of whiskeys just not a nice bar . Way too dark and the glassware and ice cubes aren't up to par

Alexay Cooper

Great date spot .

Toph Allen

So much whiskey ! Seriously good selection.

Mark Lombardi

Great selection of whiskey and scotch

Keroll Ann

Awesome whisky selection !

Ritchie Yao

Terrible service. Bartender was more obsessed with macin on single ladies than serve customers. Also the whiskey selection was weak tbh.

Josh Saletnik

Specify what liquor you want, otherwise the bartenders will choose the most expensive to rip you off.

John T. Unger

Widow Jane bourbon

David Moe

Awesome as per usual

Ben Baker

Balvenie ..
