With a name like Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar, you know it’s going to be an interesting place. The two-story establishment features purple overhead lights, which cast an eerie shadow on the collection of eclectic sculptures and artwork. You’ll find a wide selection of craft beers and whiskeys, plus themed nights like Kostume Karaoke and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, featuring alternative tunes from the 80s every other Wednesday night. Head upstairs and dance to the latest hits or go outside to the patio and sit among little gothic statues, fountains and the odd mirror or two. Little Miss Whiskey’s also features grilled foods perfect for summertime every Thursday through Sunday. The menu constantly changes, so be sure to stop by to see what’s cooking.
