Word on the street
What locals are saying
Paddock & Whisky's Park Circle outpost occupies a former bank building on Montague Avenue, and the bones show — exposed brick, soaring ceilings, two library ladders scaling nearly 200 bottles of bourbon and whiskey, and a private tasting room tucked inside the original vault. Named one of America's Best Bourbon Bars in 2021, it earns that designation through genuine depth of selection and a staff that can actually talk through it, from novice-friendly pours to allocated rarities. The kitchen swings above bar-food expectations with wagyu beef tartare, broiled oysters, and a New York strip with chimichurri — though the whiskey program, not the food, is the reason Park Circle claims this place as a neighborhood anchor.
