Sure, this Eastside hang is almost always packed to the gills with filthy beautiful people, but it’s also a total dive (in the best way) that boasts an annual Coney dog eating contest. Which makes it a primo destination for a killer whiskey menu. Whether you fancy it neat, old-fashioned, or dolled up, these folks can quench any small-batch single-barrel whiskey craving you can imagine.
