The editorial take
Burley Bar pairs a classic rye whiskey cocktail and specialty drinks built on housemade infusions with a deep bench of estate spirits. The on-site distillery turns out whiskey, gin, vodka, and rum sold by the bottle, and the tasting room pours free samples alongside weekend tours. Bottled spirits run from $28 vodkas and Market Alley Gin to the $60 Bonded Rye 7 Years, with several bourbons and ryes in between. The spirits selection is the reason to settle in; the cocktails are a capable supporting act.
