Exactly! Although I haven't been there in some time, Slow's BBQ in the D had great BBQ, craft beer, and a very good bourbon selection.

True that, slow's has a great bourbon  selection, but the BBQ is just ok. Try the new place, Townhouse on woodward, kinda pricey but a gang of good bourbons

The Low Bar in Traverse City is a real hidden gem. It sits in the basement of the best craft beer bar in Michigan and kinda flies under the radar. They brand it as a cocktail lounge but the Bourbon selection is incredible.

Looking at that pic makes me want to pick the highest furthest one in the back and buy a pour of it just to see them get to it!!

That is an accident waiting to happen.

 

It's been waiting for a few years--nothing dramatic yet. Although more recently, they have dozens of candles placed around the bottles. That could get intersting...

We have a saying in the laboratory:  "Never trust gravity to do you a favor."  It's a dictum that applies in many areas.

Jack Rose would likely send you into conniptions.

Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, NC

 

I agree.  Been there once.  Had my first ever pour of WLW there.  Food's pretty decent as well.

Ended up at a new bar (open for 9 days according to the bartender) last night after our fantasy football draft.  Can't even remember the name, but I know where it is.  Really a nice selection, more bourbon than anything but plenty of  Scotch, rye, Irish, even about 5 Japanese whiskey.  Probably top 2 or 3 of the bars around here.  Even had CEHT Seasoned Wood, $9 an ounce, which I thought was a pretty good price.  I was impressed.

Impressed enough to not remember the name ?  :lol:

Impressed with the bar or the Seasoned Wood?

Not sure if this one was mentioned, but Whiskey Street in SLC, yes SLC, is probably one of the best whiskey/bourbon bars in the country and the best kept secret out there, their selection is immense covering not only bourbons but single malts you have never seen before.

 

They have a wall about 80 feet long and maybe 10 feet tall, with 6 or 7 shelves the whole length.

 

Their "menu" is about an inch thick.

 

If in SLC go check it out.

I don't need to know the name (Cask and something), I just need to know where the bar is.  And if anyone around here asks where it is, they'll know exactly where it is if I say "the old Paul's Club"

Impressed with bar, in small part because they actually had Seasoned Wood at a reasonable price.  Although I didn't taste that one - more interested in a few selections I hadn't tried before.

Um . . . What's that feel like - Being impressed by seasoned wood?  Did it hurt?  Did it leave a mark?

If you have one of those anatomical dolls I can show you, but I can't really talk about it yet.

Julep in Houston.

 

Excellent bourbon selection, good service, a really cool atmosphere with a classic southern motif, and a damn fine pulled pork sandwich to boot!

I travel a lot and visit bourbon bars when I can.  Jack Rose in DC has a great selection and it's pretty close to me.  Delilah's in Chicago is great and has a very laid back dive bar vibe (my wife prefers them because they are Bill's fans).  Hard Water in SF is nice but expensive and a little what is the right term...snooty maybe?  But, I'd always select the local place.  For me Kloby's BBQ is my local favorite.  They  have a good selection (Elmer yesterday for me), a lot cheaper than some and lots of tasty meat.   There are so many great places to drink.  If only I live long enough to try them all....
