"A Scottish gastropub, Highlands is more stylish than many of the pubs scattered across rural Scotland. Decorated with stag heads and animal-print wallpaper, the handsome West Village space is also a temple to whiskies both Scottish and otherwise. The full food menu bridges modern tastes and Old World traditions with dishes ranging from local burrata to haggis. At nightfall, it becomes more of a date destination, and toward midnight, a bit of a meat market." - Paul Schrodt
