Arguably the whiskey-soaked heart of Montrose, Poison Girl is like a grown-up bar with a dive bar for a spirit animal. Behind the roll-up door is one of the city’s finest collections of whisky and characters, and on any given night, you might find a poetry reading out back. The patio is anchored by a life size, rainbow hued Kool-Aid Man statue. Inside, there’s a row of vintage pinball machines and chalkboard tables to indulge your inner vandal.
