The Proof Flat (CLOSED)

Craft spirits rule the roost – especially agave distillates and American whiskies. Although you can order online, you've got to make a pilgrimage to the store at least once. It's incredibly dapper and Kingsmen-sy. The walk-in closet – lined with beautiful bottles, glassware, bartending books and tools – is the stuff of dreams, and most spirits are available for sampling too. Also, consider the weekly Salon Socials: you'll get to try three or four expressions from a spirit category (plus free-flow prosecco) and your $25 ticket can be offset against bottle purchases.
