Dee Gee BeeJanuary 11, 2015Great place, cool cocktails! Many of the drinks were foreign to me however the bartender was great in explaining what everything was. We went at 7p on a Saturday and were able to get a great table!
Hal MackinsMarch 15, 2015Neat bar themed after the famed Civil War general, with antique photos and silver lithographs on the walls. Cool cocktails, including a "Gin & Pine" with a not-often-seen pine liqueur. Refreshing!- Behrad EatsMay 6, 2015Love the ingredients they put in the Barren Hill cocktail: rye, sweet vermouth, Laphroaig, pistachio syrup, and saffron tincture.

Way BenjaminJuly 8, 2016Good old fashioned bourbon/whiskey bar with a woody atmosphere and charming looks with a wide selection of bottles if you sit at the counter. A good retreat whether if you're alone or with a group.
Nate SApril 4, 2018Cocktail menu features classic cocktails and monthly specials. If it’s a bit slow, ask the bartender to experiment. Good music. Perfect for date night.
Diana BrodyOctober 4, 2017An unpretentious, lovely little spot with great whiskey. Great to nook away here for a nightcap.- Behrad EatsMay 6, 2015Cashew nuts with rosemary are a great nar snack that pair well with the whiskey cocktails here.
MelodyFebruary 10, 2016Lovely, cozy atmosphere. Cocktails are tasty; particularly loved their Old Fashioned and Pepperbox.
Phil WatsonJanuary 10, 2016Good happy hour, cozy environs, and well-crafted cocktails. Try the Barren Hill!
Alison Byrne FieldsFebruary 22, 2015Mellow late on a Thursday night. Easygoing bartenders. Decent bourbon selection.
Jason CDecember 21, 2017Delighted they still had wait staff working late in the evening so there was some order and not a chaotic mash up at the bar.
Large variety of whiskeys and very good service.
