Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“With over a thousand different kinds of whisky (~700 being bourbon alone), this is a very good place for an after work drink. Great atmosphere , first bourbon bar in the area so lots of history, and comparable prices. I had the sample flights from Aaron and Liv, both offered an excellent sampling (although I liked Aaron's better - sorry Liv). What even made it more comfortable was the lady knitting at the bar, just like being back at my American Legion Post. Loved it. I will be back!“

He only stopped pulling on my purse when my friend and I yelled at him. He tried to play it off as a joke. I didnt get his name. We left after the incident. This place is not safe for women when staff are behaving like this.“

Otherwise the service was good, atmosphere good and food good. I would go back! The desserts were pricey at $10, but I could just be out of touch with reality. Would have liked to see what they looked like before buying. Forgot to take photos.“
