McCormack's Whisky Grill

This is a quiet little place aiming for a specific atmosphere and hits it without issue.
The whiskey selection is fantastic with, seemingly, hundreds of rare and hard to find whiskeys. The staff is knowledgeable and able to assist you find the perfect pour based on your tastes. I don't know of a word for a whiskey sommelier, but that's what they are.
It can get pricey if you are venturing into the rarer or older whiskeys but that's expected.
A great evening to sip and enjoy the variety whiskey has to offer.
I had the opportunity to eat the smoked duck breast during my last visit and it was divine. Juicy and flavorful with fantastic pairings of sides. It all worked well together and I needed to restrain myself from licking the plate.
Pull up a seat, enjoy the atmosphere, and sip.

This place is a clown show surviving off the fact that there isn’t another bar in town branding itself as a ‘whiskey bar.’ We were greeted with a “Hey, take your hat off” and then they proceeded to not have the first three whiskeys we attempted ordering off their menu. Not wearing hats in a building is such an absurdly antiquated notion and only persists today to gate keep. The societal practice of removing ‘headwear’ inside originates from the time period of when knights wore full helmets and people were unable to identify who they were speaking with. Well, guess what, it’s not the year 1325 anymore and you can see my face just fine wearing a brimmed hat.

The food and drinks are top tier. The first time I went the server talked to me about whiskey as if I were celebrating my 21st and I’d never drank but everything was good. My seeding existence was top flight and the server was superb and kind. They’re very proud of their product and it’s a good product.

Excellence food and service. One of the best spirit selections in the city.

Daniel and the local couple at the bar made our experience. The outside does not give a tell to the modernization that hides within. We stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Beer is not on draft, but Bell’s Two Hearted in cans and a Moscow mule quenched our thirst on a hot day. Daniel did not steer us wrong with the pimento dip with chips, delicious. If you’re looking for friendly faces with a local vibe, I highly recommend.

The gimlet is fantastic and the staff is super knowledgeable with selection. Also the fried tofu sandwich is amazing.

Nick was an incredible bartender and his knowledge and level of service was un paralleled.

Place was very warm and inviting at first. Whiskey selection is incredible. Service is the worst I’ve experienced. Place had major potential, but won’t be back. Maybe someone should show the servers how to serve their customers, and not ignore them.

Whiskey was good. Service was absolutely appalling. Asked what time the kitchen closed, had about 45 minutes. Asked for a menu, never got one. Went to the bar for another round, was totally ignored while bartender chatted with other customers. Total of seven other customers in the place. Had been very excited about a first time here since new in town. First and last.

Best bourbon selection in Richmond!

McCormick's Whiskey Bar in the fan is on point. I got the ribeye medium rare pictured, with rosemary potatoes and fried brussels, my fiancé got the smoked duck, everything cooked perfectly (duck especially), the steak is huge, nice char and seasoning. We sat the bar, our bartender Nick super knowledgeable and advised on some great Whiskey choices we ended up just doing the house old fashioned which was great as well. Highly recommend everyone stopping in big portions and great drinks.
