The editorial take
Repeal Bourbon & Burgers pairs a serious whiskey collection with a cocktail menu that plays both sides of the bar. Six house cocktails show range, from the egg-white Bowery Boy to the gin-forward Southside, while a make-your-own Manhattan or Old Fashioned option leans into the bourbon theme. The spirits list, tagged 'Rare Spirits,' runs past 200 labels including Van Winkle and George T. Stagg. A recent customer enjoyed the Rum Punch and Bowtey Boy alongside dinner.
- What should I order?
- Start with the make-your-own Manhattan or Old Fashioned to gauge the whiskey program, then try The Bowery Boy, a Maker's Mark cocktail with egg white, lemon, and red wine. For spirit depth, ask for Van Winkle 12-year or George T. Stagg.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
