Good stories lie dormant, sometimes, waiting for revival, like treasures tucked away in cluttered basements or dusty attics, ripe for discovery.

Stories are best shared over a good cocktail, and the prized elements of Flamingo Lounge’s drinks are a story found underground. For over 50 years, the basement secreted untouched decanters of tax stamped liquor, products of bizarre 1960s booze marketing.

Welcome to our basement booze program, where you can dive into a selection of rare and forgotten whiskeys and bourbons, all waiting at the end of the highway.
