Whiskey 101
Whiskey’s golden-brown color, warm aroma, and complex taste make it a favorite spirit for many, but for newcomers, the strong, almost obnoxious alcohol burn might interfere with that experience.

Cut and a Cocktail
A large brick building with an almost-secret entrance, an old-school barbershop doubling as a boys’ club, barbers dressed to the nines in button-ups and vests — everything about Derby Supply Co., the barbershop with a full bar opened by Reno native Vinnie Gravallese, screams Old-World charm. Modeled after businesses in Boston and New York that operate half underground out of historic buildings, the shop pays homage to Gravallese’s East Coast roots, without skipping the modern amenities or haircuts.
