Located in the basement of the historic First National Bank building, The Library of Distilled Spirits houses over 1,500 unique expressions that may be enjoyed via two distinct experiences. 

Explore the Library’s collection of 1,500 spirits in The Vault, where the rarest bottles on our list are displayed in the original safety deposit boxes from the historic First National Bank.  

The Library’s curated selection is documented in the Encyclopedia of Distilled Spirits, which highlights the rich history of making liquor from fermentation through distillation, aging, and blending. 

Sip your spirit neat, on the rocks or in one of the Library’s 200 classic cocktails.  Barkeeps will combine their deep knowledge of spirits and classic drinks to guide your selection.

The Archive is an exclusive, craft cocktail experience inspired by Charles H. Baker Jr.’s turn-of-the-century drinking travelogue, Around the World with Jigger, Beaker and Flask. 

In 1931, Baker took an odyssey to discover the finest drinks in the world’s most exotic places.  He traveled from Cairo to Mindanao, all the way to Borneo, on to Jaipur, Yokohama, and beyond. Everywhere he traveled he found a bar, a bartender, and a carefully prepared version of a cocktail. He documented his findings in The Gentleman’s Companion, Volume II: An Exotic Drinking Book, which was subsequently published as Around the World with Jigger, Beaker and Flask.

Sometimes playful, sometimes serious, our exotic drinks are always crafted with the finest spirits and house-made ingredients.
