Moonlight Mile

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


A library of whiskies lines the bar at this rocking cocktail bar in Greenpoint, finding their way into classic and reinvented cocktails via the dextrous manipulations of the friendly mixologists (we like the smoky 'Foggy Mountain Manhattan'). Nonaficionados of whisky also have plenty to enjoy, with oatmeal stouts, blood-orange ciders and wines by the glass.
