This Scottish gastropub has been a charming addition to the West Village's drinking and dining scene since 2009. Come early to snag a bar stool and sip the selection of single malts and blended whiskeys and cocktails like the Blood and Sand (Single malt Scotch, Cherry Heering, orange juice, lemon juice and bitters).
