I recently visited this restaurant with a group of friends for their Christmas pop-up bar. We arrived around midnight on a Tuesday night, and despite it being late, the place was actually quite crowded. Although they didn't have food, they did have an impressive selection of Christmas-themed Tiki drinks.
My friend found the drinks to be a bit too bitter, but I actually really enjoyed them. The presentation was fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was festive and joyful. The staff were also very friendly and attentive, making sure we had a great experience.
Even though this was a pop-up bar and didn't offer food, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate the holiday season in a fun and unique way. The drinks and atmosphere were both top-notch, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Decent whisky selection and good prices, but the crowd gets really chaotic on the weekends - you can’t realistically just go have a dram at that time.

The pool table here is nice just has weird rules and one of the rules you can only play the table for 5 games in a row (which is nice) but if you come here on a Friday or Saturday night beware of individuals who come here regularly and hog the table and try to get away with the rule. Otherwise it’s a nice bar and the table is free!

The loudest place I’ve ever been to, genuinely ear splittingly loud. For the love of god you are endangering everyone at the bar, it’s not worth it and it’s serious. Go somewhere else or loose your hearing.
I am very disappointed as I came on a vacation from Utah to visit my family and we went to try the food and the view. But only to be stop by your Hostess because we had our grandson and newborn baby with us. The lady told us that it was only 21 and up allowed. And the place was nearly empty I saw only 2 other customers. I wish they would have a sign online or in the entrance. I guess you are not a family friendly restaurant. Good now I know and the next time iwon't bother. I will also tell my friends back home that have children not bother .Disappointed grandma!
I was hesitant to go. In this bar but don’t let looks be deceiving. The liquor selection is great and mark the bartender is very knowledgeable about the liquor.

Went here for the first time last night and didn’t have a great experience…-Way too many bodies (difficult to even walk a few steps forward)-Cocktails were awful—the rum and coke I got was undrinkable and tasted like rubbing alcohol-The DJ only played two artists the whole night-The bartender messed up my order (charging me double for drinks) and got aggressive when I asked for a refund-The pool table is in the midst of the dance floor and you are constantly being hit with the pool sticksCool concept for a bar but between the music, low quality cocktails & amount of people allowed in, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Black Whiskey is an incredible whiskey bar for both enthusiasts and newcomers. Anthony, the bar manager, is kind and well-informed about whiskey.For whiskey hobbyists, you are not going to find a better deal on whiskey. All pours are min 2 oz (plus a tad extra). The prices are rare whiskey are highly competitive. BTAC pours at $50. New releases everywhere at reasonable prices. This is the perfect place to try before you buy, or just to try bottles that you may never have the chance to buy at MSRP.

Discrimination at its finest, if you’re not white you’re welcomed there.
Nice whiskey bar.

They have completely poorly educated staff, they don't know how to serve customers. The last time I ordered a drink and the bartender made a mistake and his response was to kick me and my friends out of the place in a very rude way. Finally I calmly go to the good-for-nothing supervisor or whoever is guarding the entrance to explain and he was even ruder. I do not recommend it.

Located on the second floor of a building you might miss Black Whiskey walking by. But you're well rewarded if you take time to walk up the stairs.Inside is a large, open space with a pool table on one side and a well stocked bar on the other. The bartenders are friendly in a rough about the edges way. The bar offers pizza - which I'm pretty sure are frozen - but are cooked in a convection oven and come out surprisingly tasty.Perfect place to hang out with friends or after work.

The tall skinny bartender stole my money. I ordered a beer that cost $8 and paid $50. He gave me change for a $20. He stole $30. Shame on you establishment!!!
