106 W Main St, Aberdeen, NC 28315
This was one of the places I would have gone back to again after my first visit, but my preference for walking to watering holes precluded the 15 mile round-trip jaunt for a bite and a brown spirits beverage. For starters, this place has a nice wall of booze, with emphasis on bourbon and rye plus a fair selection of others like single-malt Scotch and Irish. I opted for a departure from my norm, a cocktail: a Sazerac. Have enjoyed the whisky of the same name distilled at Buffalo Trace on a few occasions, but the mixed drink with cognac, bitters and a bit of absinthe was a newfound pleasure. Let's just say I'm going to try this one again. And while I came in hankering for something healthy like a salad, the lass behind the bar steered me to a chicken sandwich that was quite delish. Would have liked to have tried their pulled pork, but that was too much for this occasion. Toughest part was decision on a second beverage, but managed to find an old friend in the bourbon list to refill my large-rock glass (Eagle Rare). No dessert needed!
