"If you’re treating The Spaniard as a restaurant, then the crowds three-deep at the bar, backing into your table as you try to eat buffalo duck wings and a dry-aged patty melt, will take away from your experience. But assuming you aren’t put off by people reaching over your shoulder for cups of ice to add to their rosé, the bar is a fun spot to meet someone new while eating high-end pub food and drinking cocktails or any of the 100 types of whiskey on the menu." - matt tervooren
