Pounding the Pavement: Ward III

Sometimes a well kept secret needs to be shared. Ward III is one of those.

Tucked away on Reade St. in Tribeca, you could easily miss it if you didn't know it was there. Stop in and you'll begin to see in threes. Pronounced "Ward Three" but spelled "Ward III" it is located at 111 Reade. There are three owners: Michael, Kenneth, and Abdul. They all have the same "III" tattoo on their forearm.

Perhaps the best thing about Ward III is their Bespoke Cocktails. Simply tell the bartender what you like (Spirit, Texture, Spice, Flavor, Fruit) and they will make a custom drink specific to your taste preferences. If the drink is worth ordering again you get to name it and it is added to the permanent archives for others to enjoy.

Every Monday is Whiskey Monday at Ward III and each week a different distributor sponsors a tasting. In between drinks you can enjoy the featured whiskey, most recently Michael Collins Irish Whiskey.

What can we say?
Good things come in threes.
'Til next time,
Jessie
