"Jack Rose, with its 2,700 different whiskeys, doesn’t make an Old Fashioned. They make the Old Fashioned. Wild Turkey, demerara, and bitters. That’s it. This is for the staunch traditionalist who wants an alcohol-forward drink and they want to have it in a dimly-lit room while sitting in a smooth leather booth. If you want to switch it up a bit though, they’d be happy to switch out the Wild Turkey for something else from their robust selection." - Graham Steinberg
"Characterized as a huge whiskey bar and included among the city’s standout drinking spots." - Eater Staff
"The terrace at Adams Morgan’s longstanding whiskey bar is the place to be at sunset (5 to 7:30 p.m.) on weekdays, when bar bites are half off, beer and wine are $2 off, and classic whiskey drinks (Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and whiskey sours) are only $12. A few doors down, sister spot Imperial slings gin and tonic goblets and crab dip filled with shrimp and scallops across a leafy rooftop." - Tierney Plumb
"This multi-faceted Adams Morgan bar and restaurant boasts a whiskey list with literally thousands of options. An open-air roof deck sprawls across the third floor, which serves draft beer and allows for good views of bustling 18th Street NW below. The food menu features Southern comfort fare such as deviled eggs and crispy chicken skins. Jack Rose’s experimental basement bar Dram & Grain recently resurfaced under next-door sibling spot Imperial." - Tierney Plumb
"This is the place to take the visiting whiskey fan in your family who will be overwhelmed by the bottles and bottles to select from. Whiskey reigns supreme at this local favorite, which boasts a high-end dining area and open-air terrace. The menu skews Southern, offering dishes like jalapeno hush puppies with Crystal hot sauce mayo, whiskey wings, pork chops with sorghum mustard, and bourbon pecan tarts. The open-air terrace on top is heated, and a flight is a great way to get a small taste of everything on offer. The owners also own the nearby Imperial, which houses recently rebooted basement bar Dram & Grain." - Missy Frederick
