The Root is a fantastic venue with a unique layout. The upstairs food is excellent, while the downstairs drinks and specials, including wings and other items, are delicious. The selection of whiskies and bourbons is amazing, making it a great spot for bourbon lovers. The staff is outstanding, with knowledgeable bartenders who create a relaxed atmosphere. Customers appreciate the fair prices and the mixed crowd of locals and students. The spacious interior is perfect for grabbing a drink and socializing, and the biweekly silent disco adds a fun twist to the experience. While service at the bar can be slow when busy, the overall vibe is welcoming and enjoyable. The Root is truly a hidden gem in Five Points, ideal for anyone looking for a great time.
