This bar is scoring highly due to the sheer selection of whiskeys, bourbons, and ryes that they have on-site. The wall of liquor is a sight to behold. We ordered our standards - sazerac and a manhattan, and both were delicious and I thought fairly priced for a bourbon bar. We asked the bartender to pick the spirit for us and he did a great job and stayed within the listed price on the menu. I also appreciated the free finger foods that came along with the drinks.
I guess the reason that I'm deducting a star is that we were there at 8pm on a Saturday and the place was empty. We were the only customers. That's not a fault of the bar per se, but it creates a weird vibe when you're the only ones there. It was also disappointing that we did not therefore have spot-on service (we had to wait awkwardly to pay our tab). We also didn't know there was a downstairs. I think we'll be back but we'll do a walk-by to see if there are others inside first.
