A Warehouse District standby with a huge patio, a strong whiskey list, and classic cocktails done well — the patio being the obvious draw. Order whiskey from the extensive list or a well-made classic, and aim for happy hour on that patio for Warehouse District pre-dinner drinks. It is good for groups, with the outdoor space giving everyone room to spread out. The combination of a generous patio and a serious whiskey selection makes it a reliable anchor in a neighborhood full of restaurants — the place to gather before dinner, with enough brown spirits to keep the committed happy long after.
