Once again we had an amazing time at Pure Spirits. From the host, to the gentleman that showed us to our table our server Grace everyone was so friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The oyster shooters are always a must-have and there is something for everyone on the menu! The prices are incredibly reasonable for what you are getting too. We already have two more visits planned before the end of the year.

Good place for Oysters and Fish at the Distillery District with reasonable prices other than drinks. $16+ for a 5 ounce glass of wine is steep.
