An awesome whiskey bar with a whole bunch of whiskeys from throughout the globe - Bourbon, Japanese, Irish, scotch, some wine, beer on tap (Guinness, IPA, Stella) and great food to accompany the great selection of libation.
My buddy and I usually go to a local beer joint, but based on a recommendation from a colleague, we visited MacMillans and I am thoroughly impressed. Every square inch of the establishment (up to the ceiling) has whiskeys stocked - by type (bourbon, scotch, etc) and alphabetic - thus, the bottle of Monkey's Shoulder stocked next to MacAllen 12, 15, and 18. Access is by a ladder (like you would find in an old library). The "high end" whiskeys are locked away in the shelves to the right as you enter the establishment and yes, it is impressive.
The "Happy Hour" specials are decent (when we visited, it was Jameson, Four Roses for $4 for 1 oz). In addition to the special we had other whiskeys.
The food menu is extensive - we did not order any food, but it did look tasty.
A relatively small establishment, it gets crowded quickly for a good reason - great selection of whiskey and food. We sat on the bar so was able to watch the bar tenders work their "magic" pouring and mixing various whisky cocktails.
Located in the upscale Mosaic District in Fairfax, its a hidden gem.
Parking on the street can be a bit tricky as there are many establishments in the area - however, there is a parking structure to the rear of MacMillans.
Service can be a bit slow due to the crowd, but it's worth a visit.
