"The Buena Vista can’t take credit for inventing the Irish coffee, but it is the bar that popularized the drink in the States, which is almost the same thing. They still sell hundreds of the world-famous Irish coffees everyday, and they’re made with a dash of theatricaity. Grab a seat at the bar for a front-row view as the staff combine Tullamore Dew whiskey, coffee, sugar, and heavy whipped cream." - Lauren Saria
