"Founded by D.C. native and whiskey authority Bill Thomas, this Adams Morgan saloon houses one of North America’s deepest whiskey collections — roughly 2,500 bottles — with pours ranging from about $8 to rare selections priced around $1,200, all curated to suit a variety of budgets. Rooftop offerings change with the seasons: a glassed-in Balcony Room with a fireplace creates a cozy winter atmosphere, while an open-air tiki bar and a deck where on-site cigars may be smoked set a playful, outdoor mood in warmer months." - Susan Mason
