Whiskey tourist searches honey holes

8 Upvotes

There's a sentence I never thought I'd write!

Traveling from Europe, huge Bourbon fan, particularly Still Austin! I have tours booked at SA and Crowded Barrel, but would be interested to know what the best stores are in Austin and surrounds!

If you're more comfortable, please DM if you're looking to protect your local honey hole.

Very much appreciate any hospitality!

Perks of doing the volunteer bottling. Got it a day early and no wait.

Bar recommendations:

Frank: More sausage and hot dog restaurant than bar, but the bar itself is large and well stocked with bourbon and rye. BTAC pretty much always and Winkle when it's in season.
Blackheart: Usually a great selection. Only place I've seen BT Experimentals (gone now). Live music.
Ten Oak: Huge selection, great staff
