I love this new jewel to The Temple Bar district. This small quiet space just opened this year. It is the brainchild of the owners from The Temple Bar(the pub not the district). The owners decided that the storage room in the back of the bar was wasted prime real estate and so they created a storefront window on Temple St.
Inside you will find a huge variety of rare whiskeys and Scotch. Scotch is plural already right? Anyway they have a huge selection of whiskey that made me smile. I tried several great types of whiskey and they had cigars for sell too. Sadly you can't yet smoke in the bar but they have plans to knock down the back wall of the space which is directly adjacent to the smoking area at The Temple Bar. So in not too long you will be able to enjoy a great scotch with a great cigar!
The bartender was a legit whiskey ambassador. This man knew everything about every Irish whiskey including how and where everything is made. I didn't tap his knowledge on the states whiskey but they have some of that too. So if you need an education like I did check this place out.
There is also a very small room in the back where you can quietly sip your whiskey away from the bar. This is not a place to bring a big group with just about 12 seats you are lucky to even sit down.
Thank you Temple Bar owners for loving Whiskey as much as I do. read more
