If the Spirit Moves You
Boasting a library of over 900 bottles—including some of the rarest whiskeys in the world—Warren, American Whiskey Kitchen, now open in Delray Beach thanks to hospitality veterans Jeff John and Brian Freed, is a malt lover’s paradise. In addition to spirits, wines and craft cocktails, the sleek, sophisticated dining room serves up locally sourced ingredients and American-inspired shareable plates, and every visit ends on a sweet note with freshly made cotton candy. warrendelray.com
