Noorman’s Kil is a new knock-your-socks-off whiskey bar at 609 Grand Street in Williamsburg. A selection of over 200 whiskies will celebrate the age-old art and craft of distilling scotch, bourbon and rye. Whiskey lovers of all types are sure to expand their palettes.

More than a place for libations, Noorman’s Kil will host regular tastings and other events that spotlight the many facets of whiskey heritage to introduce a younger generation to this ancient tradition. An assortment of grilled cheese sandwiches will be on the menu to balance the belly and 12 rotating beers will be available on tap along with other spirits for the non-whiskey inclined.

Located in the old Art Land space on Grand Street, the bar’s gut renovated interior has been handcrafted by its four owners, who are alumni of Barcade and The Gutter. A salvaged 19th-century bar paired with a mix of modern and traditional millwork and metal fixtures effuses a classic American spirit. Noorman’s Kil also boasts a large, garden backyard.

The bar’s name is derived from the creek that once flowed through northern Brooklyn. Noorman’s Kil also references the importance of water in the distillation of whiskey, which, when translated from the Gaelic term usquebaugh, means “water of life.” (The creek was rechristened Bushwick Creek before development swept the area in the mid 19th century. The mouth of Noorman’s Kil, Bushwick Inlet, is still present today.)
