MOSCOW — Limited seating in the upper story of a downtown Moscow building is intended to create a speak-easy vibe at a new Moscow drinking establishment.

Neat is located at 107 First St., No. 107, on the second floor of the McConnell Building.

“Our space is small, and cozy, only seating 24 with warm furnishings in an intimate setting,” said Andy Severson, the general manager, in an email.

The bar serves more than 100 varieties of premium and super premium whiskey, bourbon and scotch as well as some sipping tequilas.

“As the name implies the business is primarily focused on spirits that are often served neat, or without other additions or flavorings,” he said.

The menu also includes seven cocktails made from scratch with fresh-squeezed fruits. Popular choices are the Whiskey Smash with lemon and mint and the “Improved Whiskey Cocktail.”

The latter is similar to an Old Fashioned, which often contains bourbon, simple syrup and bitters.

Neat uses clear ice free of impurities in the beverages it serves that come with ice.

“(They) melt more slowly than standard cubes and … preserve the flavor profile of the spirit more accurately,” Severson said.

Custom tastings are available for groups and can be tailored to introduce individuals to whiskey or provide a chance for connoisseurs to sample bottles they might not otherwise have access to.

Severson brings more than a decade of experience to the role he is playing at Neat. He is the owner of Stax in Moscow and a former owner of Moscow Brewing Co.
