About

83 Proof is a neighborhood whiskey and cocktail bar known for its extensive spirits collection and welcoming atmosphere. Our back bar features a massive selection of whiskey with a focus on American bourbon and rye, single-malt Scotch, and standout whiskies from around the world, along with a broad and carefully curated gin collection. We specialize in both classic cocktails and fully customizable creations, with bartenders happy to craft drinks to your personal taste.
