"Just a few blocks away at local watering hole Whiskey in the Jar, the usual packed-to-the-rafters drinkfest will be a much more dignified affair this year. Shots of house speciality Jezynowka (cloyingly sweet blackberry-flavored brandy) will be at regular price and the shot ski — a ski with multiple shot glasses designed for cheek-to-cheek consumption — will have to wait in the wings." - Mickey Lyons
