Each experience features guided spirit education, tastings, exclusive cocktails crafted for the evening, and complimentary canapés, offering a closer look at the craftsmanship, history, and artistry behind each bottle.
Liquor Lockers
Hidden behind book-lined walls and collected objects, our original liquor lockers were designed as a private “club” where members could store their personal favorites. Today, they house a remarkable collection of rare, hard-to-find bourbons, whiskeys, cognacs, and other exceptional spirits—offering a glimpse into some of the world’s most coveted pours for an elevated evening.
ELEVATED BITES. SERIOUS COCKTAILS.
Our small bites menu is designed to complement our seasonal cocktails and timeless classics. From Wagyu beef sliders and oysters with caviar to elevated comfort food and thoughtful vegetarian options, there’s something for every palate. The perfect pairing for a well-crafted cocktail—and a little something to balance the stiff pours.
