How we score

The editorial take

The whiskey collection is the reason to come: nearly 1,400 unique bottles and a self-described place among the nation's top 10 whiskey libraries, with rare, allocated, and custom-batch expressions and international pours. Bourbon, scotch, and rye are named focus areas, and the bar also runs tastings, club memberships, and private parties. Craft drinks are offered alongside the whiskey, including a purple drink customers call the 775. Come for the spirits.

What should I order?
Start with 775. This named cocktail is the clearest concrete entry point into the current program and a practical first order.
Who will enjoy this place?
Whiskey drinkers who want range and depth, including rare and allocated bottles, and anyone interested in tastings, club membership, or a private party in a spirits-focused setting.
When should I go?
For a whiskey tasting or a private party, both of which the venue hosts; otherwise treat it as a spirits-focused stop rather than a quick cocktail round.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
Nearly 1,400 unique bottles and a self-described spot among the nation's ten most extensive whiskey collections, with rare, allocated, and custom-batch whiskey, international pours, and hosted tastings and memberships.
