Was Olesia Bryntseva at Cask Ale a mag?
Great place! Huuuuge selection of whiskey, bartender gave a nice recommendation, whiskey had a fantastic wood taste, atmosphere was chill and quite. They have absolutely no appetizers but they allowed to bring our own snack which is appreciated. View all feedback.

What Seth Frisch dislikes about Cask Ale:
Friday, 6:00pm: Full bar vs one bartender on State St; horrible. At least the poor girl bartending by herself on a Friday night kept a positive attitude. What an embarrassing way to run a business. View all feedback.

Great selection but most of their top shelf items are overpriced compared to other cities we’ve been in

Great place to explore the world of Whiskey. Would guess that they have at least 1000 bottles of all different whiskey.

Awesome place. Amazing selection of bourbon, whiskey, etc.. cocktails were delicious and the outdoor seating is perfect on a sunny day.

My favorite ole fashioned in town. Outside of that, they just have an overall great selection of whiskeys, an intimidating amount, perfect. Atmosphere is also great with its dimly lit vibe, but getting a drink when the bar seating is full is strenuous, and unneeded. A more clear section where those can order would be a great addition.

Lovely spot for a cocktail or three. Magnificent whiskey selection, but also a great variety of beer, wine, and cocktails. The draft cocktails change seasonally, which is fun to see. Despite being a whiskey fan (and they do have the most exquisite collection) my habit has become to have a split of prosecco before shows.
