The Whiskey Room

Excellent spot for a great cocktail. Did not try the food but overall a very nice selection of whiskey. The service is very helpful as well, would definitely go again.

A must visit if you’re a brown liquor fan. Their selection was ridiculously awesome and overwhelming in a good way, and while the atmosphere is as dark and cozy as can be, their menu is all modern and fancy on an iPad so you can navigate around and read tasting notes as you please. Our waitress was the nicest Irish lass, and I really enjoyed their pairing menu since it lets you try two different liquors side-​by-​side to compare; my favorite was the Sapling maple bourbon vs. maple rye, which I hadn’t even heard of before but is a local product that was really unique and delicious to boot. Definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area.

My favorite Burlington bar for single malt! Joe and Amber are the friendliest bar tenders in town! Stop by and ask for them!

Wow. The selection at this place was kind-​blowing, with regards to whiskey. They had 20 and 40 year old Glenlivet, Glenfidditch, and Macallan. It was a paradise!
They also had Pappy Van Winkle available, which is like finding the holy grail of bourbon, and it is priced as so, at $ 100/​pour.
The interior of the bar was just lovely. There was a fireplace that we were lucky enough to sit next to, on a cold night. It has whiskey magazines, and old vintage bottles. They even have a piece of peat moss in the window!
Our server was phenomenal. I can’t remember his name, but he was informative, funny, and courteous.

So slow. Not even that good. Pretending to have people that know whiskey but would be fired from a diner makes you a bad purveyor of liquor.

Awesome food at a great price and a mind boggling whiskey menu. Great friendly service and warm welcome for this out of state visitor from Mike. Will ALWAYS stop in when I travel back to Burlington!

Owned by Ri Ra Irish Pub, says so by the receipt. Heavily heavily overpriced whiskeys, poorly made cocktails = huge waste of money (if you care about flavor/​quality). Go somewhere else, seriously.

The selection here is amazing. The bartenders are great. But the prices are just too high. I come here every time I’m in Burlington but I may look elsewhere before I go broke. This place should be packed but it’s almost empty.

Beautiful bar. Delicious drink. However, painfully slow service despite there being no one there and incredibly overpriced.

Best place in town to find your favorite whiskey, bourbon or any drink really. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and they even have rare finds (Pappy VanWinkle).

Old Fashion was an A++ in my book, which rules. Everything from the décor to the bartenders are great in this place. I’m so happy we spotted this little gem; the minute we saw the name we were stoked to try. Next time we come back to Burlington, we will definitely be back!

If you are into whiskey and have plenty of money to spend, you will love this place!
The selection of whiskey is by far the best in the area, if not the state.
The environment is typical of a whiskey or smoke room.
Staff is very knowledgable and ready to offer suggestions based on your taste.
The price is more than you will pay elsewhere for the same whiskey, but you will find options here that you can’t get at other places.
The dram pour size is a bit disappointing. When I’m paying $ 25-​$ 35 for a single drink, I expect a decent pour which I get at many other places including small local pubs.
Overall I would recommend because of the environment and selection. Just be prepared to spend some money or make it a special occasion.

If you’re looking to unwind after a long day at work or have a nice glass of whiskey this is the place. They have the largest selection of whiskey in the Burlington area, the service is spot on and the waiters and waitresses are very knowledgeable. I have been here numerous of times and never leave disappointed. Recently they upgraded to using iPads and you can view the entire menu with one click. Great atmosphere!

The only place I’ve found in Burlington that has good whiskey, and thus the only place you can get a good Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

Went before a concert on a Friday night. The food was tasty, the place was chic but a little expensive for what you’re getting. Fast and friendly service!

First time in the Whiskey room was a lot of fun. I am not a big drinker and especially do not go near the bourbons or whiskeys. I wanted to try something new so I got the Bourbon Bacon drink special which was $ 10. It wasn’t as good as it sounded in the description. I think the bartender must have over poured because the drink was way to strong and the bacon was on the older side and tasted a bit stale. The next drink I got was something I am very familiar with which was a Vodka soda. It was very good and well made.
I loved the inside of the Whiskey room. It was like a nice lounge where you can catch up and get a drink with a friend or where you can go on a nice whiskey date.
Something I liked about this place was that it was connected with Riras. I am not sure many people like that but I thought it was great! I had a few drinks at the Whiskey Room then went to Riras with my girlfriend to go and dance! I did not have to stand in a line to get in either which was a plus.
I cannot wait to comeback!

I’m in Burlington alone on business, and stopped in last night for dinner and a drink. I was blown away.
I’m a total bourbon addict, and they have awesome selection. I went for the Jefferson’s Presidential 25 year, which was delicious and smooth and everything I was looking for. For dinner, I had their signature burger, which is absolutely superb. I mean, seriously, this was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a year. Even if you aren’t a whiskey enthusiast, stop in for one of their creative cocktails, or if you’re a carnivore, have the burger. You won’t be disappointed.

What a selection of whiskey! Very cool place! Very knowledgable staff, let them pick!

The Whiskey Room has the feel of a hotel bar. It’s small & it is packed full of things to look at. The noise level can get bad if it’s packed or something is going on at Ri Ra’s.
It isn’t a place to hang with friends, no matter how much your friends may try to convince you otherwise. $ 8 for a pint of beer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this place! I went pretty early (around 5pm) so I didn’t experience the crowds or noise that other reviewers despised. The cocktail I had was delicious, and I appreciated the local cheese selections.
Another party nearby tried to order Basil Hayden and they were out, which I thought was weird (that’s why they lost a star in my book). I would definitely go back to try the deep fried Oreos (because seriously… they’re deep fried Oreos!).
