The food was good, but VERY small portions considering the price. The drinks left a lot to be desired. Although, the server was friendly she was overwhelmed because of a lack of staff. It took forever to be served.

They have new owners! Love the holiday popup bar! I’ve been here multiple times and always a great experience.
Jennifer Wooten
Friendly, casual experience with fine whiskeys/bourbons and a menu that isn't your everyday bar food. A delightful surprise!

I'm not one to leave poor reviews, but unfortunately I must do so in this case. When Derby opened a few years ago, we had high hopes; praised them publicly as well as to friends. They had some issues but we looked passed that. Then they abruptly closed with no notice. Months later they re-opened and we were excited. However management of the business is horrible. For the third time we drove there after verifying their hours and no special event only to find the doors locked. No sign, no social media postings as to being closed. Staff at Stone Grill are clueless about Derby Reserve or what goes on there. Such a shame, this place is/could be a higher class destination in York. I hate to think this but perhaps the local rumors that it is just a money laundering/right-off rather than an actual business could be true.
We had a reservation for 15. Were put outside in a non-air-conditioned "garage" type setting. There was a 60th birthday being held and we were super close to their party. I felt like we were intruding.
It started to downpour. The garage doors were closed and it became sweltering hot. Two people in our party became over heated and had to leave early.
The server was really good and efficient, she made suggestions and was quick with getting drinks and apps out.
The heat overtook the experience.

Our bartender/waitress, Morgan, was fantastic. She put together a whiskey flight for me that was an experience in itself. Our food portions were bigger than expected.
The atmosphere was quaint and the noise level was such that we didn't need to yell to each other. We will definitely be returning and hopefully bringing friends.

This place is awesome. Great bourbon selection (Buffalo Trace, Blantons, Weller) - bartender was awesome and very knowledgeable. Burger was great!

Poor management - 100%.If you cannot staff it, close it. It was closed for months, without the owner putting on their website or on google that it was closed. They made a big announcement that the Derby was reopening. We tried to go on Saturday, and it was closed. What a waste.If you cannot afford to keep it staffed and open, close it down. Permanently.

York needs a good whiskey bar and this is it. The food is unique, despite sharing Stonegrille’s kitchen, and the atmosphere is very classy, yet homey. The whiskey selection proper is extensive, but not to the extent of other whiskey bars. However, this place is still relatively new. Their cocktails are incredibly unique and original, though, and each one is a delight as it comes out. The only issue I have with this place is their communication. They don’t have a proper place to display if they’re closed or rented out for the evening. On more than one occasion, I have trekked out here only to be turned away after I’m through the door.
Drinks and staff are great!
