Beats, burgers and a whisky selection that is beyond belief.

Three mates walked into a bar — and decided to buy it. That's the rough origin story of Howlin' Wolf, which was taken over in 2017 by three friends with a love for whisky and chewing the fat.

Today, the bar showcases more than 260 whisky varieties from around the world, including rare bottling and limited editions. If you don't know your malt from your maple the boys and their team are more than happy to give you the low-down on the lineup.

As important as the whisky is here, having a good time is the overriding theme, so leave any lack-of-whisky-knowledge concerns at the door. Beyond the whisky, there's an impressive 50 craft beers on offer, too. Or throw caution completely to the wind and let the bar staff shake up a cocktail for you.
