- Joslyn HansenAugust 25, 2017Like all of the Whisky franchise locations, the service sets them apart from other sports/beer bars. The bartenders will usually introduce themselves right away, and chat to make you comfortable.
- Friendliest bartenders in NYC. A hidden gem in Chinatown. Try the tater tots.
- JessicaJune 26, 2014Tots, pickle backs, and bacon bowl may be the favs... But THE PORK TACOS were amazing!!!! Ask for a side of the salsa verde to add on... And you will be in awe. #epic

- Jen KApril 16, 2013Bartender charm: on fire! Introduced himself to everyone in my party. Also treated me to my first Spicy Back (Pickle Back Shot + Tabasco + pepperchino). Delish! Just the right hint of heat.
- Meghan KathleenSeptember 16, 2012There are a few great things to mention about this spot: Spicy Pickle Back shots, it's a JMU bar, the crowd is bro-y but not douche-y, & Rob the bartender is super nice and entertaining.

- Picklebacks are the way to go, make sure to check out the patio in the back

- The Tavern FTW. And by FTW, I mean for the whiskey. Tip yo bartender, the crew here is the best (hi Rob!)
- Ben GMay 8, 2016A barfly's bar. Mingle with cops and locals. Eat a taco. Do a shot. Repeat until a) sad, b) no longer sad, c) birthday girl falls off bar.
