Order this / avoid

- Getting there: 153 Hammersmith Road, between Kensington Olympia and Hammersmith.
Verdict
listed — A whisky bar on the Hammersmith Road that describes its own job as keeping a growing collection of renowned and specialist bottles and running whisky dinners through the year. That is a bar with a programme rather than a bar with a shelf, and the dinners are the part worth planning around, since they are the only dated thing anybody publishes about the place. Everything else is missing: no hours, no list, no price, and nothing written about it by any critic, guide or drinks title reachable here. I left the bottle counts and the founding year that float around search results off the page, because nobody here read a source for either. It sits on the bottom rung because the evidence is one paragraph long.
