Trial + Error.

Trial+Error is a cocktail lounge and bourbon destination rooted in curiosity, craft, and community. Our back story – founded by two friends whose basement bourbon podcast turned into a full-blown spirits company. It all began with a mic, a couple of Glencairns, and an insatiable desire to learn more about whiskey. That spark became Pursuit Spirits, a bold, independent bourbon brand that celebrates transparency, exploration, and taste above hype. 

This history has now transcended into this, our basement lounge, Trial+Error. What started as a passion project is now a one-of-a-kind bar experience, offering expertly crafted cocktails, curated wines and beers, and over 100+ expressions from Pursuit Spirits ranging from private barrel releases to distillery-exclusives you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just bourbon-curious, visit Trial+Error to explore great whiskey, try something new, and connect over a shared pour. 

Crafted with Curiosity, Served with Character.
