Really great bar. Great service from Melissa, we had such a fun family night out. The music was good, and the vibes were perfect. Come here for a good time!

First time here very bad experience they are racist. If you’re not white, you cannot go here I got kicked out for no reason. The lady at the bar said it’s mandatory to leave a TIP you have to earn a tip. It is not mandatory and it is not legal. Ridiculous I will definitely not go here and not recommend this to anybody. They expect you to leave a tip or they kick you out. I will file a complaint against the business. I was reading through the reviews and I’m not the only one that got kicked out. A tip is optional!!!!!!!!!

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.
