Learn about the big sour over pisco – and who made it first – at the only bar in Santiago dedicated to the South American brandy. There are as many piscos from Peru as Chile on the menu and you can try them in flights of three or within an array of flavored sours. Reserve ahead for tables on the interior patio.
