About Kinfolk Cocktail Lounge & Spirits Library

A narrow stair leads down from the Moonshine Grill building into a limestone cellar lined floor to ceiling with backlit shelves of bottles, where guests sit at marble tables, leather banquettes or a long communal table. The collection leans hard on American whiskey, with allocated bourbons, ryes and Japanese and Scotch bottlings poured neat, in flights or built into stirred cocktails. Hosts talk guests through the shelves, and reviewers repeatedly name individual bartenders and describe prices on rare pours as fair for what they are. A short snack list of cheese boards and fried brie covers food. Music is low and the mood is quiet, suited to a pre-dinner drink or a date. Hours are short: Wednesday to Saturday, 5 p.m. to about 9:15 p.m., closed Sunday to Tuesday. Resy bookings are advised, though walk-ins are sometimes seated. Google rates it 4.8.
