Checked out Black Whiskey last night and it's well worth a visit. Jack and Saeed behind the bar (think Bar Pilar, St Ex, Marvin, 18th St etc etc) serving up their usual levels of hospitality.
Simple menu of carvery plates, choose a meat and then accompanying sides - simple but well executed and reasonably priced.
Pool table at the end, which will inevitably be overused in the short term and a welcome diversion once the "cool" period finishes in a few months.
The upstairs opens fully tonight and is worth a pop in, the downstairs looks a couple of months behind but has a good team to launch it and I have no doubt will be yet another popular spot on 14th.
