These Bars Have The Best Whiskey In Atlanta

Let’s look at some of the best bars in Atlanta with premium whiskey.

Red Phone Booth

Red Phone Booth has the best whiskey in Atlanta

Red Phone Booth is a speakeasy that never fails to satisfy. Here’s what one reviewer said about the place. “Once you obtain the secret number to enter and you make your way inside from the Red Phone Booth you will immediately notice the subtle dim lighting, leather couches, wood finishes, and a very extensive whiskey selection. From there you will shortly figure out that this will be added to your list of favorite bars. We lucked out and found two seats at the bar where Jason quickly greeted us and recommended the Smoked Old Fashion. This was the best Old Fashion I had to date. I was originally going to stick with the Old Fashion but quickly found out that the bartenders also give great recommendations for whiskey. I went with the Hibiki as it is hard to find at local bars in my area. Based on this Jason provided several whiskey/bourbon recommendations. We met Scott the Manager who was very attentive and shown us other whiskeys in their collection and background of different bottles. I couldn’t recommend this place more for craft cocktails, cigars, or whiskey. We will be returning!”

After 8 pm can get a bit busy, and it can be tough to find a chair or sofa but there’s always been enough room at the bar or the patio. Super chill hangout and a great last stop on your of bar hopping in Decatur.”
