Whiskey Street Cocktails & Dining

Whiskey Street Cocktails and Dining occupies a building with a pressed-tin ceiling and exposed brick walls that date back to eighteen eighty-nine. It sits on the former site of the Walker Brothers Dry Goods store, a retail hub for the early city. The name acknowledges the historical tension surrounding Main Street, which local officials once attempted to rename to avoid association with the neighborhood's notorious reputation for serving liquor to prospectors and travelers during the late nineteenth century.
