The Whistler

From the outside, this place looks like a gallery (which, technically, it partially is). On the inside, it’s open and loftlike, with a permanent stage set up for weekly live music. But behind the bar, decked out in a vest and tie, bartender Paul McGee is skillfully making cocktails like a rosemary Collins. One sip and there’s no doubt that despite everything else going on here, the cocktails are the reason to stick around.
