Business Description from the Web

Aside from a pile of whiskey barrels, jugs, and other Wild West tchotckes, Whiskey Ward doesn't have any high-concept flourishes to bolster its modern-day saloon motif. The walls are painted a brownish orange, and the only chromatic appeal comes from the gleam of XXX bottles behind the bar. But with an incredible list of scotches and single malt bourbons, and a drink special consisting of a... more

With this wide open room, 12-foot-high tin ceilings, exposed-brick walls and handmade furnishings, it's hard to believe this place used to be a hardware store. Set in the decreasingly rough-and-tumble Sixth Ward (known a century ago as the Whiskey Ward), this bar attracts a crowd ranging from edgier sorts to cell phone-toting NYU students.The bar stocks eight single malts, 11 fine bourbons, 20... more

A pool table in back attracts more drunk hipsters than pool sharks, so don't be intimidated if you want to get in on a game.

This is one of the classier "dive" bars that I've been to in NYC. The atmosphere is relaxed, the place is clean, and the crowd tends to be non-pretentious. For whiskey lovers, the owners (really nice folks) make sure to stock the bar with excellent premium label bourbon, rye, single malt, and Irish whiskeys.

Best Bar on the LES

You can keep your Libations and Fat Babies, I'll take the Ward. Staff is friendly and unpretentious and skilled. Music is top notch and the jukebox is the best on the LES. Drinks are well priced, and there's FREE peanuts. You probably haven't even read the end of this post because you've already left to go sample it for yourself.

After bumming around the City looking for a good place to throw back a few, I remebered this place. Glad I did. Relaxed, friendly, good beer/whiskey and cool crowd. Definitely one of the good ones.
