We arrived late traveling from out of town, and tried to go to a local brewery which had closed earlier. We ventured down the road a mile or two and came across a bustling part of town, and Against The Grain had to be the highlight of the area for bourbon bars. I was really impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the other folks at the bar. Good stop really happy we stopped in. A+

We've been here a couple of times. It is beautiful inside and evokes an atmosphere of the early…read more20th century. The bartenders are attired with class to fit this mood. It is very dimly lit with minimal natural light coming in. This adds to the ambiance and I love it, though it does make for a bit of a challenge in reading the extensive drink menu. Primarily a Whiskey bar, but they can also whip you up any fine cocktail. There are also wine and beer selections. The bar itself is huge and there are cozy tables as well. Expect a crowd, but you will find sufficient bar staff to provide timely service and answer any questions or help you make a selection. Parking is horrendous, and if someone in your party has mobility issues you will probably need to drop them off in front while you seek a place to put the car. But worth the trouble!

No food, just drinks, but you will drink high quality liquor. The prices are comparable with other bourbon bars. You have to go to the bar to get service and they seem to be crowded everytime I've been there so you may have a wait but the bartenders are friendly and make great drinks. I've had a whiskey sour (pictured), an old fashioned and have tried a few different shots. All delicious!

But the second you walk in, something just clicks. It's easy -- like you've been here before in another life or like you've known this energy forever. The vibe is calm but magnetic. Not trying too hard, not putting on a show -- just honest, comfortable, and kind of intoxicating in the quietest way. You could stay for hours and still not want to leave, even after last call. That kind of place. There's a warmth that sneaks up on you -- the kind that makes you laugh more than you thought you would. Makes you say things you didn't plan to say. Makes you wonder how something so easy can also feel so rare. I don't know what kind of magic they've got going on here, but it's working. Trust me -- this place stays with you. Vinny is the best

The downstairs bar has couches and bar stools and more comfortable seating for hanging out. You can get whiskey new and old for pretty good prices. Upstairs is the bottle shop where you can browse all kinds of spirits and buy bottles or sample from the bar. They have four shelves of bottles that rotate out priced at $3, $5, $10, $15 for 1/4 oz. I tried an expression from my birth year which was fun. 1/4 oz isn't much, so maybe get a double if you really wanna savor something. If you're a collector, you'll have a good time here.
