On the GridNovember 21, 2016Southern Efficiency is a comfort food and whiskey bar with an eclectic group of whiskies ranging the gamut from traditional Bourbons to whiskey from craft distillers. Read more
Washington PostApril 10, 2014The bisque-like peanut soup is a nod to Southern cuisine. Sour cream, a bit of sherry vinegar and an artful sprinkle of greens finish the vegetarian soup. Read more
Even when busy, good service and well executed cocktails! Try the Fourth Regiment - rye, sweet vermouth, and 3 kinds of bitters!
RyanJanuary 12, 2014White whiskey and Cola hit the spot. Stone fence should work for folks who show up at a whiskey bar and don't know what to order.
Christopher BownsJanuary 15, 2014Try your favorite bourbon or whiskey two ways: neat/on the rocks and in a cocktail (Manhattan, Sazerac, or Vieux Carre)
Matt BernsteinJune 14, 2015Great whiskey bar. Can get a bit cramped with a lot of people there. They make an awesome old fashioned.
Ask for the bartenders recommendation. You won't be disappointed.
The best whiskey bar in the city. Don't be crazy. Come here.

"In addition to an extensive high-end, curated selection of Scotch and American craft whiskies, there are also seasonal cocktails. Grab a 2-oz. pour and light up a cigar on the terrace."
