Stopped by for happy hour and spent about $30 on a spicy margarita and a pepperoni pizza. The margarita had a nice kick, and the pizza was solid—crispy crust, gooey cheese. The vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. They've got pool tables and TVs for sports, making it a great spot to hang out. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the wait for food was a bit longer than expected. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot.

My girlfriend and I went recently and had a really great time. The drinks were really amazing, the music was so fun, and we loved the pool tables. The bartender, Valerie, really made the experience stand out. Best service I've gotten in a while. It's obvious that she's genuinely passionate about cocktails and it really showed, she went above and beyond for us. 10/10 recommend.

A very come as you are kind of place without pretense or poseurs. Just a welcoming vibe for an out of towner, especially Val/ Valerie, she gave me all sorts of tips for places to go and check with limited time. The drinks were tasty and well presented. And, bonus points for being less than a mile from my hotel, how cool is that? 13/10 will come back.

Whiskey Girl is a whole vibe. Stopped in on a Friday—good crowd, dope playlist, and the drinks were on point. I had the smoked old fashioned and a cherry whiskey sour—both slapped. Bartender knew their stuff. Spent about $30 and felt real taken care of. Cozy but not cramped, and folks were friendly. Great spot to kick it without the River North attitude. 100% coming back.

You are 100% correct and Google reviews isn't my therapist
The music was good, the new bar is gorgeous. It's obvious the owner is putting money into the place and cares.
It took an odd amount of time to get a drink between when ordering and getting it I thought some rando who happened to be behind the bar had just ran off with my cash.
I'm probably just being paranoid though as demonstrated below.
I'm a single parent in the neighborhood and I don't get much time to go out by myself. Even less when I don't feel like I have time even when I have time.
I stopped in tonight and really wanted to shoot some pool and have a drink amongst the adults.
I grabbed a drink at the front and walked to the back. Two tables were empty and one was in use. There was one coat by the middle table and no bags or coats by the table furthest from the door. There were no drinks at the pool tables.
As I walked through I looked around and tried to make eye contact with people. I walked up to the bar and asked the bartender if she knew if anyone was playing. By the time she said it's first come first serve the big group by the bar had occupied the tables.
It was one of the most disheartening experiences I've had in years.
Monday night trivia is always filled with a great crowd! Great cocktails :)

I like Whiskey Girl! We can watch the WNBA and Unrivaled there with the sound ON. The food is good, and the folks who work there are very sweet. One person was particularly welcoming to us, we later found out that was the owner!
Parking: there is a lot in the back with a few free spaces if you can get there early!
