About Caledonia Bar (UES)
Over the knolls of the Upper East Side, you’ll find a wee Scottish Pub, you’ve arrived at Caledonia. Tucked away in this literal hole in the wall is a collection boasting over 200 whiskies - most of them scotch. While we specialize in Whisky, we’ve made sure to offer something for everyone. From craft draft beers to seasonal cocktails and even a mocktail menu for our non-drinkers. At Caledonia we believe that if you “Don’t like whisky” you just haven’t found the right whisky for you yet. Our knowledgeable bartenders are happy to chat and help you discover the incredible variety whiskey can have. From a French Single Malt that tastes like blueberries to a honeyed Highlands with notes of dried figs - they’re not all smokey! - we have something that will at least change your mind about what whisky can be. And for you tequila drinkers, don’t worry, we have your Mezcal and Reposado; why not try it in our cocktail called “Don’t Be a Prick”?
At Caledonia we aim to take what is seen as a spirit that you can only afford on special occasions and make it an everyday drink as it would be back in Scotland. From tasting flights to monthly specials, we make the unattainable ubiquitous. Providing a safe space to learn and ask questions, whether you are at the start of your whisky journey or already a connoisseur, we know what your next dram should be!
