Loved our first visit. A wonderful selection of bourbon, scotch, and numerous other liqours.Our group of six enjoyed a little of everything, from a whiskey sour and a painkiller mixed drink, to bourbon and several scotches straight up and on the rocks.Our bartender was amazing. And a wealth of knowledge.We didn't get food.But we will when we go back.Because...we're going back.And if you haven't yet been. You should.

You better make a reservation, you are not“allowed” to stand in the bar area. And if you try to talk to the hostess about seeing if people would move down so there could be seats together and there seems to be confusion about this the manager accuses you of microaggresion. Is it because we were 4 white woman who were calmly looking for a solution to have a drink and spend our money?I love bourbons and the vive of this place when walking in was very welcoming until this conversation. I would have liked to drop some $$’s trying some new bourbons. I get it was a Saturday evening and they were busy but instead of attacking my friend who was just trying to solve a problem we were accused of this.Someday maybe I will return and try again but I have a bad taste in mouth for this place now.You are better off going to B side in Mosiac,

Had to wait a full 8 minutes for service and only after we went to the manager and asked if someone could take our order.. Mint julep was sicky syrupy sweet, we asked to remake it and all they did was take some ice out. The server did not seem apologetic or willing to make us happy customers. Kind of snarky. We will try again....maybe just an off day. Atmosphere and decor are beautiful

Maybe this place should stay open until their stated hours. Said they were open until midnight, last call was at 1045 and closed sign went up a little after 11…

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but the service was lackluster at best. Don't even know the bartenders name, but he has long grey and black hair..... hey management, get a new bartender to replace him. Barely ackonowledged my presence, and when i did order a drink, all he said was "ok". Seriously?? There were two other people in the entire place! Sorry to bother you.Very UNINVITING place. Unfortunate because they do have a decent selection of spirits at decent prices.Not likely I'll go back, in this area there are way more friendly places, with way more selections.

Staff ignored me majority of my night. Staff hung out, drank, laughed it up, and I didn’t see them doing work. I never got a water refill and basically had to wait excessively for another drink despite very little people at the bar. Only time bartender came was 20 min prior to closing with the lights on basically kicking us out. Drinks were very good just don’t expect top notch service.

Brian is my favorite bartender. Excellent atmosphere with a fun sliding ladder for bottled library perusal. Recommend the meatballs.

I had a fantastic birthday celebration here! Although there was a minor seating issue initially, the staff promptly resolved it and ensured our guests were well-accommodated. The wonderful service has left a lasting impression—I'll definitely be returning!

Great place with an amazing vibe! The artichoke dip and Guinness meatballs are so tasty! Their chicken tenders are juicy and so tasty. And the burger is one of the best I’ve had. Their drinks are also top notch!

The ambience and customer service was superb! I chose here to celebrate my husband's birthday since he loves whisky and we will definitely be returning. The food was amazing and the chef made sure he answered our questions regarding our food allergies. He was pleasant and courteous. The server was amazing. We had time to eat and celebrate.

Nice little clubby place, not a lot of seating so consider making reservations for your seating. I did, showed up on time along with a friend and the person that sat us said "you can sit here but need to leave by 8:30" just as we were seated. No drinks or food ordered yet. One ounce pours aren't crazy prices but kind of expected a bourbon list more diverse with less commonly seen bottles. Was thinking this was a smaller Jack Rose. In the end had their barrel flight, four high proof one ounce pours for $25 and it was very good. The small plates we had were also good. The staff outside of the young lady that seated us were super.

Been craving The Balvenie 12 for some time and found this place. I was amazed! They have countertop to ceiling sections of scotch, gin, mezcal, bourbon, and others. They offer a tablet with all their alcohols and related info. Prices were as expected with the quality of offerings. Dress code was collared shirt and not stuffy. There is a parking garage just beside the entrance. Highly recommend this place.

Wow. I came here to write a good review (and still will), but decided to check out some of the 1- and 2-star reviews. Sorry that people have had such horrible experiences with the owner and some of the staff. Thankfully, we did not need to deal with the owner, and our server Johnny was nothing but exceptional.We were a party of four, with reservations on a Saturday night. We were promptly led to our table on time, and Johnny showed up immediately thereafter. The ladies in our group had cocktails and they were pleased with them. Us guys had customized whiskey flights, and you can't go wrong with that. We shared appetizers - scotch eggs, cauliflower and shrimp sliders. All were extremely tasty and well-presented. Both couples ended up ordering the same entrees - steak and guinness pie and fish n chips. The stew in the pie was so good and flavorful, with tender beef morsels. And the fish fillets rank in the top 5 of what I have had in my life.I am sure a few people will disagree with what I have said, but we four had a wonderful, cozy, intimate dinner with good food and attentive service. And if the owner is really as bad as the reviews say, I hope that behavior does not take down this establishment. It deserves better.
