About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Fri, Sat

On State Street, Cask & Ale brings a sophisticated whiskey lounge with over 720 different bottles. Owner Ken Boll opened in 2016 after 20 years in the industry, creating a spot for 30- and 40-somethings to unwind with a flight or a cocktail. The mixed crowd leans casual and straight-friendly, with a full bar, free wifi, and a happy hour worth catching.

Friday and Saturday are the best nights to go. The 27 rotating draught lines and barrel-aged cocktails keep things interesting, and outdoor seating is available when weather permits. It's a place where regulars appreciate the depth of the whiskey list without pretension.
