BOURBON HOUSE

144 Bourbon St

T he bourbon boom was years away when Dickie Brennan opened Bourbon House in 2002. Fifteen years later, its early focus on the trending spirit feels prescient. "(Brennan) had this foresight when we envisioned the restaurant originally," said Barry Himel, beverage director for Dickie Brennan Company. "We specialize in bourbon." The seafood restaurant and whiskey bar recently released its own Maker’s Mark bottling. "We custom-made our own bourbon," said bartender Will Fox. "It has a robust flavor. You can taste the French oak in there."
