Came in for a quick drink while waiting for a dinner reservation nearby. The environment inside was really chill and welcoming. The drinks were well priced and yummy. We paid around $50 for 4 drinks and a shot. We tried the spicy mango margarita, paloma, mojito and espresso martini. All four drinks we recommended and would get again. There is also games to play like darts, skeeball, jumbo connect4 and jumbo jenga. The man serving us was also very nice and personable. Definitely looking forward to coming back and checking out the rooftop next time!

Sergio was so hospitable and an absolute gem! The drinks were perfect, the customer service was top tier, I will be recommending this place to everyone!

I was wondering why it was so empty on a Friday night. Found out, you get what you pay for. The most watered down $9 mojito I’ve ever had in my life. Worse than juice, at least that has flavor. The liquor bottles may as well be water back there. There was a sign that said 25% discount for hospital workers, my boyfriend told the bartender he is a doctor and was wondering if we could get the discount. He put a finger to his lips like “shhhh” and then didn’t apply it to our bill, but handed us some 10% off snap bracelets for Cheesies (???) Bizarre interaction. Will not return.

WOW!!! Is there something better than a 5 star review here?! And, no - no one asked me to write this review. Let me just say that the manager, David, and our waiter (ugh, did not get his name!) we're so friendly and seriously made us feel super welcomed! We are from out of town, and they made us feel right at home with great vibes and even gave us a tour of the place! This is a really fun place for food, drinks, games, and overall fun vibe! And I haven't even gotten to the food yet.. the different grilled cheeses were amazing! Great customer service, fun vibes, and overall a great experience!! Would one hundred percent recommend!!!

Went in 12/10 around 5:45pm and was told “Whiskey Business” was closed and we could only order food from “cheesies”. On the website and even in the restaurant they had signage that stated they had wing specials from 5-7pm but we couldn’t order that. Got one drink and left.

Looks can be deceiving but you do not want to pass this place up. The drinks are good, like really good. And the food? Off the charts for the bar vibe they are going for. Highly recommend coming in for brunch; biscuits and gravy are fire and the chilaquiles might just be the BEST I've ever had. Service was bomb, do yourself a favor and ask Billy for an espresso martini. The cherry on top is the rentable Rooftop!

Such a great place for good bar food, amazing portions, and awesome service! Recently combined with cheesies, but AMAZING. Highly recommend! The nachos, grilled cheese, and cauliflower bites are incredible.

Went out to Whiskey Business on Thursday October 19th. It was just a girl's night and had so much fun at their pop up event "Back to the movie store"The Bartender Enrique and the chef Jesse were so personable and making sure that we get what we wanted while we are there.There was supose to be a roof top movie but it was canceled because of the rain but since it was my first time there I wanted to see the roof top set up and the manager was really nice and showed it to me. I can not wait to go back!!

If I could zero stars, I would. But I digress. Don't go here unless you want to pay $20 for a Miller high life and give your card and ID to make sure you don't steal any glasses after 5 people in your group order drinks. And then when you ask for your ID and card back they're going to give it to a random person. And when you ask why the bartender gave it to a random person when YOU ask for it, they'll say "I'm busy cocktailing right now."Your theme is lame and unoriginal. The $20 is not worth it.
