La Whiskeria
Aside from the libations, La Whiskeria is a lovely looking venue that was founded in 1969 by the owners of Boadas as a sort of VIP nightspot. It preserves a timeless elegance, with an homage to the American Jazz Age, thanks to a vintage gramophone player, pendulum clock, art deco lighting, and gilt-framed oil paintings. Upstairs, there's a nice lounge with low tables and upholstered seats, a cozy contrast to the high stools and wall-affixed tables on the street level; it's the ideal spot for a date or a private birthday celebration.
La Whiskeria is a one-stop-shop for the discerning drinker, with over 250 references ranging from single malts to blends, bourbons, and Scotches. The knowledgeable bar staff can rustle up any number of whisky-based cocktails, made with their own homemade bitters and syrups, or fruit-infused spirits, in addition to legendary brands like Balvenie, Blantons, and Kavalan. Their cocktail menu features unique twists on classics like the highball and whiskey sour. A true aficionado would request a draught from one of the many independent local and international distilleries that they support.
