The Silver Dollar
Louisville, Kentucky
"Whiskey by the drink" goes the motto of The Silver Dollar, and judging by what's behind the bar, they take it pretty seriously. This Clifton-area drinkery is a self-described re-imagining of a 1950s Bakersfield, California honky tonk, and serves up modern takes on classic Southern dishes to the hungry. But while they might serve food, its the drinks that draw us in, including cocktails, an impressive selection of beers, and the main attraction: over 100 bottles of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys and Ryes. While that does mean there's no Jack to be had, if you can't find something else at least as good to whet your whistle, perhaps you shouldn't be drinking whiskey in the first place.
