Fate hasn’t been kind to the previous clubs at this Cathedral Square address, but the convivial atmosphere and friendly staff at Whiskey Bar have made it our readers’ pick for best new nightclub. If you’re just out to slam some Jack and Coke, you could do that here too, I suppose, but what a waste. Whiskey Bar is a good find for those who enjoy slowly sipping a quality scotch or bourbon.
