Whisky Bar

Not what I was expecting!. I just went there for the first time. With a name like the Whisky Bar and the location, I thought this place would be a rowdy dive. But it's very clean and orderly, and the crowd was clean-cut and well-behaved. The bouncer was polite. Many people are into that kind of scene, I'm sure, but I'm not really so I wasn't really that into the atmosphere.

Now, the objective cons: I ordered 2 drinks, and the beer was outrageously expensive ($8 for 12 oz of a microbrew), and my Maker's ($7) came with plenty of ice even though I'd asked for it neat. Oh well.…

Used to be good. Now, I don't mean to speak poorly about all the bartenders, but I just had the worst experience with one of them. I paid for a drink, but it was alot more than I remember the last time I was there- I didn't have enough to tip... So I went out to an atm, came back and found the same bartender for another drink. I told him that I wanted to tip him better, but he basically told me to get lost and wouldn't serve me! I know misunderstandings happen, but this was inexcusable... so much different than what it used to be. Tourists love this place. Let them have it.…

Like your favorite old T-Shirt.... I just turned 21 and the Whisky was one of the first places I went- and I loved it! It's cool and |aid back, and has a rock-n-roll feel to it. It was much better than the other, snooty places on 2nd. A place for rockin' guys and grrls and good drinks, too!…

unless you're a rich wanna-be punk rocker, don't go to this place. i've been here twice and both times i've left with a sour taste in my mouth. the bartender was extremely rude, homely and impatient. a guinness and two long islands cost $22 and they don't accept credit cards. the music is too loud you have to shout to your friends to have a conversation. this place is basically an extremely overpriced divebar with awful service and so-called punk-rockers that all look like they're going to shoot themselves. enjoy!…
