Best Whiskey/Cocktail Bar Experience

I spent some time in Barcelona last summer and can recommend a cocktail bar called Old Fashioned in the Gràcia Barrio. tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g187…

For the Toronto folk, I would recommend the following Cocktail Bars (in order and in the comfort of friends):

• Bar Chef
• Clocktower
• Cloak Bar
• Famous Last Words
• Cold Tea
• Pretty Ugly

I missed Cocktail Bar & Rush Lane - both should be placed above Cold Tea

@JayRain, no mention of The Feathers in Toronto? Or did they sell out all of that good old Scotch because they were under-pricing it? (or did they re-price it at its true value so that no one could afford it?)

Drop me a line when you are in DC again.

Over here in London we've finally started picking up a few whisky-focused cocktail bars.

Black Rock has an excellent range and half an oak tree running through the middle of the room – it has two oak-line channels running through it, one containing the house blend and the other the house cocktail.

Bar Swift opened a few weeks back and is already on lists for best-new-opening awards. I popped in briefly at the weekend and only had a quick foray into the downstairs bar to find the bathroom, but it looks like it might combine another excellent whisky list with an excellent range of non-whisky cocktails. More investigation needed...

(and hello again everyone)

@Victor Thanks Victor - was not aware of Feathers (more aware of West than East) and after taking a look at the site, would be intrigued to try a couple of their flights.

For Single Malt/Neat Whiskey (versus mixed cocktails), there is a fondness for Caledonian & Emmett Ray (still have not tried Allen's yet either).

Thank you for your considerate offer as well...jr
