I must admit it took me way too long to visit the Travel Bar in Carroll Gardens. It’s not exactly on the way to anything and despite my regular visits to Brooklyn, it still felt like a trek.
I’ll go so far as to say those on the hunt for the best scotch bar in New York City may perhaps reach the end of their quest here.
Warm and inviting, the vibes at Travel Bar are perfect. The bartenders are friendly and down-to-earth, it’s easy to see why this such a popular neighborhood haunt. All credit goes to the bar’s owner Mike Vacheresse, who’s regularly on hand to answer questions and make suggestions.
If I lived closer, this would definitely be my go-to bar.
Given the impressive selection of over 450 whiskies, the pours are surprisingly affordable. Of note, Travel Bar offers one ounce pours which gives ardent whiskey enthusiasts the opportunity to sample a variety of exciting scotches they’d normal skip due to price.
Hands down, Travel Bar is the best scotch whisky bar in Brooklyn and quite possibly the best in the city. I’ll have to visit a few more times to make that determination. But it there’s a more reasonably-priced whisky bar in NYC, I’ve yet to find it.
If bourbon and rum are more your speed, this Brooklyn whisky bar has you covered in that department as well.
