On the Rocks

This small Hells Kitchen watering hole probably has the best whiskey selection in Manhattan, with over 400 bottles on their shelves. The friendly and knowledgeable bartenders will help you find something to your taste; just describe what you like (it doesn’t even have to be whiskey–they’ll work with your taste in cocktails or other spirits), and they’re generous about letting you try before you commit. You’ll also find a tasty but small collection of basic cocktails (including old fashioneds and whiskey sours). But the real draw is the opportunity to try rare and unusual whiskies.

On the Rocks offers a truly impressive whiskey selection
