Whiskey River: lots of bombs & shots. I wish they had a Vicks Formula 44! Went for appetizers only: GF crinkle-cut sweet potato fries were really good--substantial serving size and hefty planks. (I've never had issue with fryer cross contamination). So many menus--look at these b4 heading in. We scored a high top table by the open air side.

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and let me tell you, this is a *proper* Philly cheesesteak! The bread was moist yet crispy. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The peppers and onions were fully cooked, delicious, and just the right texture. The cheese was melted and mixed fantastically into the sandwich, blending it all together, creating the perfect pocket of gooey deliciousness. If you want a Philly, this is the place to come!

I really love the vibe of this place on the first visit, and all of the staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome. I will certainly be returning here regularly.

Love hanging out for some drinks and a game of yatzee. Had the wings the other day and a complete disappointment, just bland. Bloody Mary was spot on and service was great!!

It's a noisy bar! But, the food was good and the service was terrific!! They were out of the Reuben egg rolls and our second choice, unfortunately....I'd go back!

Great local bar with fantastic food! If you don't mind the "dive bar" vibe, it's a great place to meet friends.
