Utilized the Winchester’s private room for a corporate event and had a great experience. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room itself looks recently updated and fit us all comfortably. Would highly recommend!

We stopped for drinks and wow were they good. We looked for best espresso martini around and it was really good. The service was a little rude but also was so busy on a Saturday afternoon.

We went out for drinks, the staff was very attentive and had great suggestions. Every drink was created to perfection. I really enjoyed the Winchester old fashioned and the case of the Mondays. We are looking forward to a return visit.

What an impressive bar!! Drink menu was outstanding. Mixology is a hobby and now I'm on the search for a metal olive stuffer!!

A friend brought me to Winchester a few weeks ago for the first time. Classic, old fashioned whiskey bar (with a bit of everything.) The atmosphere is phenomenal, the staff are amazing, kind, and quick to help, and the old fashioned I've now had twice, is the best I've had. If you want a smooth drink to sip with friends (or alone, no judgement here), Winchesters is the place to go.

Nice decor and clever variety of drinks but with too many hard surfaces it makes what should be a nice mellow bar excruciatingly LOUD.Parking: I was lucky and parked right in front but if it's busy you may have to walk a block or two.

Had the “Dude Abides” drink and a beer. Watched the bartender, nice to see someone who takes pride in their craft. Excellent place.

Love the Winchester. Been here several times in the last year since we moved to the area. They have TRUE mixologists and a drink list to die for. The beer list is impeccable. They made the part of the bar that holds all the booze bottles. Have them tell you about it. We will return again and again.
