Certainly the 2 best sloe gins readily available in the US come from England and Germany. I'm lucky in that St. Louis has several quite good wine & liquor stores, so I was able to find Bitter Truth (one of the good quality sloe gins). I would think many liquor stores would carry one of the inexpensive sloe gins like Hiram Walker, wherever one lives (but perhaps not). These are a definite step down from the expensive sloe gins, but still fun to drink.

I doubt if many restaurant bars would have sloe gin, but it's worth a try. Some restaurants are quite proud of their cocktails, and that's where I'd try asking. But apart from finding one that has sloe gin, finding one that freshly squeezes citrus is pretty difficult (most use commercial sour mix, a great deal of which is pretty vile IMO).
