Introducing… the A to Z of the World’s Best Bars “D” (Picked by The Master Blender) – Scotch Whisky News
A-Z of World’s Best Bars
So, are there many decent bars in the world serving whisky that start with D? We’ve already found a few good pubs with A, B and C so there probably are – but is your favourite amongst them?
D
Dalmore Inn, Rosemount, Scotland
We needed to give this Inn a mention as after all it shares the same name as the very special Dalmore Whisky! The owners and staff always give you a warm welcome and it serves up a tantalising menu featuring local produce and delicacies. It’s also hardly surprising to learn it stocks a large range of Dalmore, including the limited edition Rivers Collection.
Dickens Malt Bar, Perth, Scotland
This is a traditional city pub which proudly displays whisky memorabilia all over its decor. Added to this it has over 120 malt whiskies available to try, making it a must visit for any whisky fan.
Denver Chop House and Pub, Denver
Located downtown adjacent to the Coors Baseball field, this pub is famous for classic American loggers and a wide array of single malt scotches. Next time you are finished watching the game, drop in and enjoy a Dalmore expression matched with one of their delicious steaks.
Del Monico’s Steak House, Venetian Resort, Las Vegas:
What can we say? We like to enjoy our Dalmore with a good bit of steak and much like the Denver Chop House, Del Monico’s does not disappoint. If you’re in Vegas, then we insist that you take a break from the ‘slots’ and dine at Emeril Lagasse’s steak house to sample his amazing New Orleans’s style cuisine.
Low-key, hip and casual are the testaments to The Davenport lounge in Houston. With bottles behind the Davenport bar extending almost to the ceiling, this bar knows how to treat imbibers. Their single malt scotch collection is unrivalled in Houston.
Other D’s worth a look
Located in the historic Cannery Building it is one of North Beach’s live music hotspots. A great place to chill out after work, preferably with a glass of Dalmore in hand.
Del Frisco’s of Denver, Denver
Located in the Denver Tech center, this restaurant and bar chain started in Dallas Texas 20 years ago.
You would expect an Irish pub to have a good showing of Ireland’s best whiskies, however Dublin’s Square goes one better and has a vast range of Scotches on offer too.
As one of the best Irish pubs in Dallas, the Dubliner offers 32 Scotch and Irish whiskeys, ale and cider on tap and numerous beers by the bottle from around the world. They also offer authentic Irish pub fare like the Welsh rarebit and typical American pub grub like the club sandwich.
Downing Street, Houston, Texas
Sip and savour a whisky from their well-stocked bar and if the mood takes you match it to one of the cigars available in their walk in humidor.
Dundee Dell, Oklahoma
Houses one of the most comprehensive list of single scotches anywhere in the United States. You can enjoy up to 12 different expression of Dalmore scotch while you sit in amazement.
Dirty Dicks, Edinburgh
A traditional looking pub at the West end of Rose Street, Edinburgh with over 200 malts to choose from.
‘Diggers’ (Athletic Arms), Edinburgh
Technically this bar should come under ‘A’ but this pub is known to most locals by its nickname ‘Diggers’. Named because it sits between two graveyards, this bar has a friendly atmosphere and a vast selection of whiskies.
