Just had best Negroni and Hot Toddy we have ever had (and we have had a lot!). Owner was easy going and atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Will definitely recommend and go back!

First time coming here for an event and I was amazed at this place.

The whiskey selection, the ambiance, everything was great. Mike the owner introduced himself and was also tending bar, him and the rest of his staff were nothing but amazing.

They make you feel welcomed after a while you almost feel like you have been coming to travel bar for years. I left the bar feeling like I was a regular there. That goes back to the great job Mike and his staff do.

I can now understand why this is one of the best whiskey bars in the country and why travel bar is a staple to the community it serves.

It was the first but definitely not the last time I come to travel bar

Best whiskey bar I’ve been to and it’s not even close! Selection is insane, stuff you’ll never get anywhere else. And the service is awesome—Mike and Bill treat us well every time!

Decent whisky collection, interesting cocktail menu. We tried a couple times to ask questions about the whisky selection, and both times the bartender just curtly told us “everything they have is on the menu”. It wasn’t very busy and their whisky list isn’t very big, so it’s pretty disappointing that they couldn’t offer better service - plenty of better whisky bar options in the city.

It was included in Whisky Advocate top 101 whisky bars not for 1 reason, but for many.

First and foremost, Mike is super knowledgeable, creative, loves the craft, and most of all very nice and kind.

2. You might find maybe a place or two in the city that have as large a selection of whiskies, but definitely not with the same uniqueness, and personal effort put into it to curate it for your enjoyment.

3. It's one of the few places that have the rare Athyr - Lebanese single malt whisky

4. You can try many whisky infusions and cocktails, especially the Dark Malt old fashioned, one of my favorite.

Do you need more convincing? It really is that good, head there and try it out for yourself 🥃

Amazing venue for whiskey of all types with a very knowledgeable owner and staff. Winner of whiskey bar of the year! A must stop for those in search of memorable pours.

This place is a gem! Traveled over an hour and looking forward to returning often. Mike is extremely knowledgeable. If spirits are your thing, specifically whiskey/ bourbon, it's impossible to leave feeling anything less than satisfied.
