The Haberdasher, a downtown Mobile staple for custom cocktails and a curated list of premium spirits, has earned the title of the State of Alabama's sole destination on Whisky Advocate magazine's 2024 America's Top Whisky Bars list.
The magazine curated a guide of "125 diverse destinations, from upscale bars and speakeasies to barbecue joints, jazz clubs and taco shacks." According to the article which contains the full list, the picks span the country, focusing on unique themes and offbeat experiences, not just high-end “dens.” The establishments were chosen with insights from industry experts, journalists and whisky enthusiasts who constantly explore the best places to sip whisky.
"The Hab," as it's known to locals, was clearly keen to learn of their inclusion in the magazine. "Our bar crew have visited over a dozen distilleries and countless bars worldwide, brought home several staff barrel picks and have participated in numerous national festivals, educational events and seminars," they wrote in a Facebook post, celebrating the honor. "We are proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far, and humbled beyond measure by you, the customers that make it all possible."
The Haberdasher is the home of Mobile's original Tiki Week, an annual event now celebrated by dozens of bars, restaurants and coffee shops.
