Whisky Den
For the aficionados of whisky and those who just fancy the odd dram, Whisky Den, now in its new location in Antigua has since 2011 been Guatemala’s only true whisky bar.
With a remarkable 170 Scotch whiskies to choose from, it also has a focus on international whiskies from the United States, Japan, and Ireland as well as bourbons.
As Alvaro Leon, the owner says, “Whisky is a long-term relationship probably with both ups and downs. It’s the reason and excuse to build and increase a strong community at The Whisky Den.”
But don’t think for one moment that the Whisky Den has a clubby stuffy feel. Far from that; it’s young, friendly, has a great bar, plays music from the eighties, and has live music Tuesdays to Saturdays.
If whisky is not your thing, then check out their cocktails, especially the coffee cocktails as well as beers, wines, liquor, and soft drinks including non-alcoholic beers. It’s also a coffee shop supporting local coffee farmers, you’ll always find freshly roasted coffee.
You don’t need to leave the Whisky Den hungry. Food options include the charcuterie board, German sausages, bretzels, BLT, and a Philly steak sandwich.
