Every good speakeasy should have a few secrets. 🥃
Hartman’s Distilling Co. Barrel Room has become one of my favorite little whiskey hideaways in Buffalo ...and there’s more going on behind that door than you might realize.
Thursdays are a particularly good night to wander in. They usually put together a pretty impressive whiskey flight, and if you know which local bourbon groups to watch, you can get a peek at the lineup before you go.
Then there are the bottles. 🍾
Because Hartman’s is a distillery, you’ll occasionally find things behind the bar that you’re not going to see sitting on the shelf at your average bar.
And if you happen to notice a beautiful, unmarked decanter tucked among all those bottles… that belongs to Lauren — aka one of the best bartenders in Buffalo — and it’s her infinity bottle.
Yes, you can get a pour.
If you know, you know. 😉
There may even be more secrets hiding in that room....
But I’ve already said too much. 🤫🥃
