Serious cocktails in an unpretentious lounge near the Bastille with good bar snacks to boot. The attention to detail, chill atmosphere and intriguing menu make this an industry darling. Named for a large barrel that ages whiskey, the bar has an interesting selection that will be sure to delight whiskey aficionados.
An absolute favorite

Reviews of interest
World’s Best Bars (2013) “Dim lighting and lots of cosy corners make it a perfect date destination (those chairs really are very comfortable) but it’s also a nice joint to just hang out with friends, and attracts a friendly, mixed crowd, as it still seems somewhat under the tourist radar.”
Forest Collins (2013) “Sherry Butt has also amassed an interesting collection of whiskeys on offer by the glass or flight. Here, weeknights are best for relaxing with finger food at the bar. Weekends mean a full house and DJs on deck.”
Sasha Levenson-Wahl (2013) “Cathleen and Amaury have not only focused on the quality of their cocktails but they have hand selected a small menu of exceptional beers from Scotland, USA, Belgium, and Canada, whiskey flights with four suggested options or the opportunity to create your own and taste their selection of whiskys, and finally a small but excellent menu of finger food.”
