🍹 $7-9 seasonal craft cocktails with a rotating menu, Mon-Fri 4-7pm and Sat-Sun 2-5pm. 🍸 On Wednesdays, 75-cent martinis — dirty, espresso, or cosmo options.
Inside a 1917 grain storage building on East 6th, the original wood and stone give Whisler’s the kind of atmosphere most cocktail bars spend fortunes trying to fake. Seasonal drink menus rotate with their own themes and artwork (mezcal-heavy one quarter, bright fruit and spice the next) and the upstairs Mezcalería Tobalá keeps the night moving once the downstairs fills up.
Mezcal-forward seasonal cocktail, rich and spirit-driven
Vodka, amaretto, cherry, marjoram, lime, peychaud bitters
Gin, maraschino, violet liqueur, and lemon — a classic revived
Tequila, Campari, lime, honey syrup — tart and bittersweet
Rye whiskey, demerara syrup, and angostura bitters, properly stirred
