Love hanging out for some drinks and a game of yatzee. Had the wings the other day and a complete disappointment, just bland. Bloody Mary was spot on and service was great!!

It's a noisy bar! But, the food was good and the service was terrific!! They were out of the Reuben egg rolls and our second choice, unfortunately....I'd go back!

Great local bar with fantastic food! If you don't mind the "dive bar" vibe, it's a great place to meet friends.

They'll clear all your songs from the TouchTunes queue to play bad music. Also smells like sewage 24/7. Would give 0 stars if i could.

Their website says "Sunday Funday", should read "Sunday Stay Away". The website boasts about brunch, bloody Mary Bar, and $10 drink/food combos; no such thing. There is no bloody Mary Bar or drink and food combos. I ordered the Steak & Eggs which comes with hashbrowns. Steak was under seasoned but cooked to the right temp, eggs were fine, but no hashbrowns came out. There were 7 people in the bar so the kitchen wasn't back up. The waitress wasnt sure if it was supposed to come with or not but confirmed the menu says it, hoping she was new. I was done with my meal by the time the hashbrowns came out and you can tell they were rush cooked. Seared on the outside but very undercooked in the middle. Overall, I hope people come here for the drinks because the food didn't cut it.

Best reuben egg rolls I've ever had. Even though the only ones I've had but fantastic. And the fries are right up there with them. Service slow. Music got alil loud for only being 1:00 pm lunch crowd. Cater to the men more than anything. Which would make since with everything hanging out that is the purpose of attire. But kudos on the confidence. Good place to go

Whiskey River is a hiiiiittttt!!! First time being here and had a great experience. Had 4 different people check on our table during our time there, and they were all very friendly. Drinks were good, but the food was even better!! One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time! Even though it was our first time there, the staff made us feel at home. Asked if we wanted to hang out for more drinks after we finished, and were upbeat and acted like they wanted to be there! Keep up the great work!

Foods awesome but I won't tolerate public indecency. They have a deer on the wall with bras all over it where girls pull there shirts off on fri and sat night. Maybe some body will shut them down. Bar tender was awesome. But that's unexceptable

Absolutely my go-to bar, I’ve been coming here regularly for about 2 years now. The service is great and the staff is always kind/happy to help. The drinks are fantastic, the food is just as good, and the decor reminds me of a cool dad’s basement. We definitely feel at home here!

Tried the rodeo Burger today they couldn't put onion rings on it because the fryer was out of oil, they had changed it but didn't check to see if they had more oil. Did not have barbecue sauce instead they added jalapenos. And the burger was burned, and completely dried out. Side choices were limited because the fryer wasn't working. So they brought me lukewarm chili. Terrible experience today. The staff was jovial and friendly.
