Whiskey Ward

LOWER EAST SIDE. Fancy yourself a whiskey connoisseur? At this joint, top-shelf bottles of single-malt and bourbon see to the wants and desires of serious sippers, and curious first-timers will find plenty to pepper their palates as well, most of it for a good price. As to the decor, the brain trust behind the Whiskey Ward certainly did what it could to capture the saloon element without going overboard. In fact, the understated decor (specifically the wooden barrels) reminds folks why they stopped by in the first place – after all, the drink is the thing, right?
