Highlands

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


This handsome Scottish-inspired drinkery is a fine place to while away an evening. Exposed brick, a fireplace and a mix of animal heads, pheasant wallpaper, oil paintings and Edinburgh tartans on the walls bring more than a touch of the old country. Scottish beers and spirits, plus haggis, Scotch eggs, shepherd's pie and other traditional bites round out the menu.

Happy hour is from 7pm nightly, except for Friday and Saturday. Weekend brunch features sweets like crumpets with strawberries and honey butter, and scones with black currant jam and clotted cream.
