History: The Kittie Lee Inn was built in 1924 and was considered to be the height of luxury. During Hollywood’s heyday of filming movies in the High Sierra, almost all of the great stars stayed here at one time or another. Will Rogers, Randolph Scott, Hop-a-long Cassidy, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Curly Fletcher and Pat O’Brien are just a few of the names found in the old guest register. Many of the executives of the U.S. Vanadium Mine, a Tungsten Mine up Pine Creek, along with Wah Chang of the Blackrock Mine were also guests here. The Ohio Buckeye tree you see planted in the deck of the front door of the gift shop at the Whiskey Creek Restaurant was brought here in 1924 from Ohio and still bears buckeyes every fall. During World War II, the Kittie Lee dining room was closed and used as a dormitory for U.S. military pilots training at the Bishop Airport. After the war, the dining room was remodeled and reopened as the Copper Kettle Coffee Shop, which was known far and wide for its excellent food and extensive Royal Doulton Toby Jug Collection. The Kittie Lee Inn was torn down in 1965 to make way for a new dinner house known as the Carriage Room. Its Bar, Charlie’s Room, remained in operation. In 1976, Sam and Shelly Walker purchased the business from Will Whorff, son of the original owner of the Kittie Lee, and changed the name to Whiskey Creek. In 1999, the Walkers sold the business to its new owner, Greg Alexander….and a new era began.

Whiskey Creek is a must-visit in Bishop! Great service from start to finish — friendly staff, quick seating, and everything came out just right. The food and drinks hit the spot, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. It’s also walkable from most of the nearby lodging, which makes it an easy choice after a long day. Highly recommend stopping in!

We love coming back to Whiskey Creek when we're in Bishop! The rib eye steak +sides were wonderful, although the Pad Thai wasn't quite up to its favorable self (but still good). Our waiter forgot to bring me a soda water~ overall, a nice evening outside on the deck.
Food and atmosphere was very nice and good prices. The ribs were fab! We all enjoyed what we ate. A lovely evening, only marred by waitress cocking our bill/split payment up so we were unsure what we had been charged/refunded as no access to our online account as from UK. All worked out ok in the end but we were a bit worried at the time! Would go there again 👍

We’re only passing through the lovely town of Bishop and asked the girl at our hotel reception the best place to eat here. She recommended here so we came. Lovely food with great portion sizes. We got the rib eye steak, onion rings, pesto pasta, crème brulee and hot fudge sundae. Everything was just beyond delicious. Would recommend to anyone in the area!
