The editorial take
Mash Bar builds its beverage identity around whiskey, with a dedicated whiskey cocktails section and an additional libations list that reviewers describe as a large selection of whiskey, bourbon, and other spirits. Cocktails are approachable and fun, and bartenders are willing to customize ingredients. Wine, beer, and zero-proof sections round out the menu. The program leans on breadth in spirits and flexibility in mixed drinks rather than named, detailed selections across every category.
