The 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.

Mervin Fevrier

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 Group

A 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.

Matt Kim

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 Evans

This 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...

Sigalle Barness

Dark, cozy and unpretentious. Impressive selection of beers and scotch . Snag the comfy couches in the back and relax to some great tunes .

Annie

Everything. Great selection of scotch and whisky . Food is good too. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable .

Ljubica

Michael 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 ;-)

NY Waterway

This 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 .

Monica Cullen

Unique bar in Manhattan with a bible of whiskey . Michael is a great bartender and fan of Game of Thrones!

Christine T

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 ✰

One 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 M

Excellent whiskey bar . Ask the bartenders for recommendations based on your preferences - they’re great at matching you with the perfect whiskey .

Molly Stoddart

Great whiskey bar with a gigantic selection! Friendly bartenders and cozy space .

Rafi Romero

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

Aneesh Sehmbi

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.

Sigalle Barness

Local bar with a great, laid back vibe and awesome music . Great cocktails too!

Trevor Conners

The brew(sky) combinations are a great value ! Get a beer and a whisky pairing for under $20. Plus they're delicious.

Chelsea Garber

Ask 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.

Emily L

extensive whiskey options! the menu has a good deal of snark for extra fun

Jameson Fink

Narrow bar with no TVs and friendly bartenders . Heaven for whisky fans, and a great spot for conversation.

Lisa F

Cozy , dimly lit whiskey bar with some interesting prohibition-esque cocktails . One of my favorite ues spots.

Laura Harrington

Check 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.

Jack Ferrer

Want some good music , great company, awesome bartenders , scotch and the best beer ever crafted in Scotland - this is your spot!

Mita M.

Scrumptious sausage rolls , shelves of scotch , a jukebox , handsome bartenders , this girl couldn't be happier.

Lauren Varga

Awesome whiskey bar - attentive bar tender was friendly . Great for a quiet conversation

Natalie V

Great drinks and cozy atmosphere (with that, it can get crowded ). Scotch ale is ????????

Sophie Parks

Bartenders advice is great. You tell them what you like and they'll pick the perfect whisky for you.

Aimee Freedland

This is the best bar in the city . And the bartender is pretty awesome too! Drink more scotch , it's good for you!

John Paterakis

Ask 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 Lee

Massive single malt selection, cudos to Michael for curating it. And there is a William Wallace broadsword above the bar . Awesome

Jon D

Awesome selection of scotch and really friendly and helpful bartenders

Constantine Zuev

Nice and friendly staff . Try the Vintage cocktail if you are not up to beer .

Kristen Labriola

Great drinks, atmosphere and most importantly, charming and attentive bartenders ! Michael is the man.

Jorge Mng

Brew(Sky) = your choice of liquor with a side of beer . What's better than that?

Aneesh Sehmbi

Fantastic whisky selection and Sixpoint on tap - what's not to love?!

A-Ron Clements

Just 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.

Angelene Hoffert

Delicious cocktails and fantastic selection of single-malt scotch .

Beka C

Try the Innis & Gunn Scotch Cask on draft - my new favorite, and tough to find anywhere else

Chet Mancini

Try a Scotch you've never had. Cozy , but lots of choices.

John Murray

Great cocktails , large scotch list, and amazing bartenders .

If the Penrose is too crowded for you this is where you should be. Still high brow, but less pretentious . Very relaxed environment .

Whisky choice is vast and service is great.
