"This subterranean cocktail bar is home to an A-Team of bartenders, who bend, twist, and expand what we expect of whisky. Pulling from a truly jaw-dropping list of spirits, bartenders milk-wash vodka with coconut milk before combining it with orange liqueur, cranberry, and pomegranate, or take smoky scotch and pair it with mezcal and lapsang souchong sweet vermouth in the Loch Stock. The food menu is full of stunners, as well, be it a pumpernickel-rolled fried brie with verjus syrup or a bowl of pasta with seaweed butter and candied duck. Scotch Lodge takes a few walk-ins, but it’s best to get a reservation." - Rebecca Roland
