Financial District, San Francisco · bar
Built from salvaged barrel staves and pre-1906 charred brick, this dimly lit FiDi room has stacked up over a hundred whiskeys and earned a spot on GQ's list of the ten best whiskey bars in the country. The Ramblin' Man — Noah's Mill 15 Year, Cocchi di Torino, and becherovka — leans rich and bitter, while the Admiral's Whiskey Punch (rye, Jamaican rum, lemon, sparkling water) is the move for groups settling in past midnight.
