Inventive Cocktails in a Dark Red Hook Hideaway
Taste bourbon distilled steps away, with staff who guide each pour in a cozy room open only on weekends.
🥃 Spirit Room
Botanica at Widow Jane opens with a dark teal room, an oval gilt mirror over the back bar, and a bottle lineup lit from below. The open doors bring the street into the room, while low light keeps the setting close and atmospheric. The distillery next door gives the drinks their direction.
Order around the spirits, where the menu moves through Lucky 14, Decadence, and The Vaults, a blend of the distillery's oldest bourbons aged a second time. The staff is notably knowledgeable, and the bar opens Friday through Sunday only, from 4:00 PM on Friday and 2:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, closing at 10:00 PM each night. Whiskey flights and inventive cocktails get the spotlight, with simple pickles on the side for something sharp between pours.
The address is 220 Conover Street, and the room carries a 4.7 rating from 106 ratings. Settle in for a slow tasting, keep the evening close, and leave space for one more pour.
