Not impressed. They claim to be a dive bar, but the price of their sandwiches would have you thinking you are eating at a restaurant. 2 burgers costing $ 25 is a bit much for a paddy that has had the juice pressed out of it. Fries are heavily salted. Getting back to this place proclaiming to be a dive bar. They should reconsider calling themselves a dumpster bar. Along with the ridiculously loud music at 6 pm, the place smells like a landfill. Even their bottled Budweiser had expired. Wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy

Love the food. Great fish fry and taco quesadilla. Service is okay but the bathroom floors gross and sticky. Needs some interior upkeep.

Food is good! Music is to loud you can’t have a conversation with the company you are with. I hope it makes it though. Somebody has to line that kind of atmosphere.

Meh. It’s a bar with bar type food. The pricing is a bit odd. $ 9.99 for a supposedly huge plate of nachos. The plate is not huge(served in a pasta bowl) and they are just okay, but a jumbo shrimp dinner is $ 7.99. What? The menu is pretty basic. Nothing that you can’t get anywhere else, and probably get it better. Our server was very friendly which was nice. We went to watch the band that was scheduled that night. This bar is not built to have bands. There is no good place to put them. The band had to set up on both sides of the front door. When they were ready to start, they locked the front door and that’s where the lead singer was. Not sure if that’s fire code or not. There were two other exits so I’m sure it was fine, it was just a weird set up. The band, Love and Thunder, was fantastic. Unfortunately there was not a huge crowd. Not that the bar has the room for them anyway. There is seating upstairs but then you wouldn’t see the band. There is also not a place to dance. The band takes up the front of the house and tables the rest of it. To be fair, There was a very small area to dance, but watch out for poles, tables and the band. This place was better as a supper club, but apparently that didn’t work out either.

The owner was trashed and accused me of saying I thought the bartenders are /-ores. What a piece of –hit. Never going there again. Why do the owners sit at the bar and get trashed. Let your bartenders make your business work. You’re an idiot for being there. B

I don’t know what it is about the Rockton bar area, but places like this lack basic culinary science when it comes to making a burger. FIBs across the street put a tomato next to the bun, which makes the bread soggy near the end. Here, the put the bottom bun, meat, then stack everything on top. The darkness or burntness made the bottom bun look burnt, which messes up the presentation of the burger. The bacon on the burger was buried below lettuce and other toppings. It overall wasn’t a terrible burger, but seems like there could have been more thought and time put into the burger. Over Rockton Inn, the place before this, they have an electronic jukebox, which is cool! They also have a claw machine for catching your own lobster for $ 3. You catch it and they cook it for free! When we went on Sunday, they had a special on Wings for .35 cents a wing. They also had a make your own or waitress does it Bloody Mary station. I think that’s a nice touch! I had the waffle fries with cheese here, which seemed a bit greasy, but they were definitely some of the best waffle fries I’ve had up in this area. I would totally recommend this place for others!

Went here for lunch today and it was all around a good experience. We started off getting served by the bartender and she got us started on drinks than the waitress took over. There was a Bloody Mary DIY bar and I don’t know if this is a Sunday thing or not but it was a cool touch I am just not brave enough to try one yet but it’s on the to do list. Anyway, I visited the old Rockton Inn often and was in love with their Parmesan fries but this one has waffle fries that made me forget all about Rockton Inn. I got the Whiskeys BBQ burger and it was delicious but big, I was unable to finish it. Halfway through my food I did notice the corner of my plate was chopped like it had been dropped a lot. Not a big deal or problem just an observation Overall it was a good experience and I will be returning

This was my first visit to Whiskeys. Went for lunch on Friday and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 starts is because the service was not good. There were about 20 – 30 people in there and they had one girl doing everything. She was a bit overwhelmed but none the less, was still very nice when she came around the ONE time she was available. $ 1 pints of High Life and a burger that was fantastic. I will go back again eventually but they need to do a better job staffing the place.

Had a very good bacon and egg burger for lunch. Interior has been nicely remodeled and the beautiful antique bar remains in place as the focal point. Biker theme throughout makes me curious to check out the scene here at 1:00 am on a Saturday night.
