Definitely a local bar where anyone can drink alone or with a friend in a comfortable and quiet setting without the need to impress others. A limited supply of beer on-tap, but a full selection of bottled beer and a good selection of hard alcohol. A long traditional bar with large screens for watching sports.

Bartenders here are hit or miss.
You can't order a "tall" mixed drink here (i.e. more mixer in a taller glass), you'll get corrected that it's a "[drink] and [mixer] in a pint glass." I find that confusing, but whatever.
Then if/when you get a different bartender and try to order it the way they want you to order it, they cut you off because they "can't understand what you're ordering." They think you want a "pint" of alcohol. I assume she didn't hear me say "coke" and, like an idiot, thought I was asking for a pint of rum. Then she decided to be coy and rude about it: "you can go down to the store and buy a bottle." I was so incredibly confused, I actually thought she was messing with me. Then I realized she wasn't when she told me to get out.
It all makes me so angry. I've never been to a dive bar that didn't know what "rum and coke, tall" meant. Amateurs and old white women on power trips.
For what it's worth, the rude bartender was an older lady with brown hair and painted on eyebrows. Try to get someone else if you can, or better yet, spend your money elsewhere.

morning.I wanted to make it known that last night I was at Whiskey lane as a designated driver for my wife & sister. Upon walking into the establishment I stumbled a little bit due to a physical disability & temporarily lost my balance. The bouncer approached me & said I had to leave due to being intoxicated. I explained to him that I have not consumed alcohol in over 4yrs & was only there to be a designated driver. I attempted to explain my physical disability with no concern as they continued to intsruct myself to leave the establishment.Discrimination at its finest ?Have a great day.

Cool little hole in the wall. They serve cold Blue Ribbon in a can for just a few bucks. Can't beat that.

We came to Whiskey Lane for the first time to watch theSuper Bowl and were lucky enough to get two open seats. The staff were truly kind, energetic and generous; and even thanked us for coming. They offered a complementary barbecue, Bacardi rum shots and a raffle, where pretty much everyone won something (shirts and hats). There were several large screen TV's, so it was a bit difficult to hear the game, even with max volume. Regardless, we had so much fun watching two closely matched, top notch, competitive teams; along with rowdy songs and cheers from the crowd. It could not have been more perfect (minus the last few seconds of the game). Thank you, Whiskey Lane - you are totally awesome and you made us feel so welcome!

Small town bar feel.
Dj was great had a good time. Drank Pabst and had kamikazes. No bathrooms tho. Both were out of order. Had to walk to another bar to use restroom.

Amazing experience even being surrounded by peasant Raider fans I had an amazing time just make sure you close the door to the outside patio or Ursula will get mad at you
Cool little place to hang out!
