I don't drink whiskey....and these aren't the BEST places, but I'd recommend these for sure: Butcher and the Boar Bachelor Farmer (pricey, possibly, the bar below is supposed to be awesome) Sanctuary (a bit pricey, but not outrageous) Chino Latino (not downtown, but not far) Saffron (love this place) Lake and Irving (not downtown, but not far) Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub (not downtown, but not far) The following breweries also: Fulton (nice and close) Surly (I like the food too, some don't) Dangerous Man If none of those appeal to you, let me know, I can post A LOT more......
