“From the outside, Barrel Proof is one of those low-slung, clapboard buildings with wraparound metal awnings that typify Uptown Magazine Street. But inside…well, it stays on brand with only accents of dark wood and corrugated tin to distract you from the reason you’re here—a long bar that overcompensates with lots of whiskeys. Management claims to have given up counting at five hundred, and you likely will too, once handed the binder list.”

“This spot’s former resident was the locally-loved Bridge Lounge and so the care taken in its renovation for its present incarnation is reassuring. Yes, it’s a long, low-ceilinged, windowless room but the polished woods and cowhide rugs give it the feeling of a party-friendly cabin.”

“Page through the binder menu for an extensive array of picks from around the globe including Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and of course the South. Geek out to their selection or go with a $5 “boilermaker,” AKA a shot of Old Grand-Dad whiskey and a glass of Schlitz beer.”

“This dark, wood-paneled bar is popular among the service industry crowd, and with good reason: it boasts 275 whiskey selections is as good for a late-night beer-and-shot combo as it is for a rare Highland Scotch. Whiskey varieties are divided by country, region, and distillery and take up a majority of the menu, although the bar also serves other spirits, beer, and cocktails.”
