Entry No. 6 — the Minneapolis file — filed under: whisky bar

Gori Gori Peku

Tucked discreetly on the second floor of Kado no Mise, this intimate Japanese whisky bar is a dark, minimalist cocoon modeled after Tokyo's tiny alleyway bars. It houses an unmatched selection of rare, premium Japanese whiskies and serves cocktails with hand-stamped ice cubes.

The move: Arrive early to secure one of the eight coveted bar stools, and order the 'A5 Manhattan' or a classic Suntory highball while listening to soft jazz.
