Well, Emmet Ray is famous for two things: Whiskey and Live music. And what's live music without whiskey? Ditto, therefore if you do come here, forget for an evening about your Canadian side and get in touch with your Southern inner self and shoot some bourbon or rather enjoy a few kinds in a snifter to better your understanding of this drink! After about 2nd or 3rd snifter (depending on your dinner before), the music will begin to sound heavenly and you'll feel right at home like in good old days...yeah.
Ask the bartender about bourbons, he's a bourbon freak and will sure be glad to share a few tips and suggestions with you. Mmmm-Cheers!
