Wow! What a cool place. Let me start by saying I was visiting the area as the guest of a wedding. The rehearsal dinner was nearby and I had to find some place to spend a couple of hours while my girlfriend did the wedding thing. I quickly searched for whisky bars and thus establishment came up!

Upon entry, the scene is right out of a movie, cool little outside with a slightly speakeasy type feel. On entry, the tunnel shaped subway tile really set the scene. I sat at the bar, enjoyed a cocktail since I did not see many whisky’s at first glance, but then I noticed part of the bar I couldn’t see from my original view. Although I would not call this a whisky bar, they had a great every day selection of more than a dozen whisky’s that even an aficionado like myself can be happy with for an evening. This however was a martini bar! People all around were ordering them and if I went back, I’d do the same!

I decided to try the smoked wings and a couple of shrimp cocktail while I waited for my date. The shrimp were part of their raw bar menu and you order by the piece. The shrimp were the colossal size which was a real treat for a guy that now lives in Atlanta and doesn’t get much good seafood. The wings were smoked very very well with a great flavor sauce added in just the right proportion.

I had written this review initially while at the bar and specifically mentioned the three folks serving me but the original review appears not to have posted probably because of service. I wish I remembered their names because they were great!

If you’ve made it this far, just go to The Tunnel Bar, I promise, you’ll be happy you did!
