Honestly one of the best whiskey bars I’ve ever experienced. They have tons of barrel picks and allocated bourbons. Best of all the bartenders are extremely knowledgeable, personable, and make some of the most magnificent cocktails I’ve ever had. Prices are fair and best of all it’s a relatively quiet, peaceful bar tucked away in a quieter part of Raleigh. 12/10 recommend!
Great little neighborhood bar, creative drinks, friendly bartender/owner. Love the break-even bottle deals!

It doesn’t take much for this place to feel overrun, but when it’s not crowded, it’s great. Best bourbon bar around and solid cocktails all around. Off the beaten path adds to the mystique.

Such a cute little spot for well made cocktails. I came here to read and had the bartender make a drink of his choice with gin. Drinks were great and the environment was cozy.

This place has amazing cocktails and a fantastic selection of bourbon. The bartender was great and when we ordered offered his opinion on how the drink could be better and they definitely were amazing. Will be coming back every time we’re in

AMAZING bourbon selection. (Looks like they had a pretty good selection of other spirits besides Bourbon, but why would anyone want that? LOL) Joey, and Smalls were super knowledgeable about their product, and make us some awesome cocktails!! Will definitely be back!!

Small but mighty in the bourbon world, this spot boasts an incredible collection of both modern and historical spirits including pre-Prohibition bottles. House made syrups and knowledgeable bartenders round out a great experience.
