The whisky wall

250 bottles, one wall

The whisky shelf running the length of the bar is Firkin's heart — from familiar single malts to rare bottles the bartender pours only for those who ask.

  1. 250+ bottles deepScotch, bourbon, Japanese whisky and more — the shelf is the library, and the bartender is your librarian.
  2. Taste by the flightNot sure where to start? A flight of three small pours walks you along the shelf — from gentle to heavily peated.
  3. Under the chandelierAmber light from the chandelier keeps the room at a whisper — dark enough for privacy, warm enough for a long conversation.

From the bar

Whisky is the lead, but the bar also pours classic cocktails and sends out small plates for the table.

A pour from the wall

Pick a bottle off the wall, or let the bartender choose — neat, on the rocks, or built the classic way.

Cocktails by lamplight

Classic cocktails built under warm lamplight — balanced, spirit-forward, unshowy.

A table with cocktails and food — a Firkin table

Plates for the table

Snacks and small plates to sit beside the whisky — enough to stretch the evening at the counter.

The room

Walnut, brass, leather and low light — Firkin is built like a reading room for whisky lovers.
