Different hours give different crowds. From opening to 1500hrs is primarily locals and tourists. From then to 1900 hrs are people that work in the area. After that till closing tends to be college age and people looking to party. Great atmosphere. Every once in a while, you could c the owner Rob (kinda looks like Dennis from "It's always sunny"). Great dude. He has great bartenders and diligent kitchen staff and security to match. Very packed on the days expected to be, and the days not expected to be is a very humble and chill experience. I primarily get the taters with Chipotle mayo. Once a month they have a whiskey of the month and cocktail of the month that is worth trying. Parking is extremely limited, so walk or take a cab. Remember, you in the city.

Stumbled upon this place after eating our way through Chinatown and being unable to find a tequila place. Walked in an immediately was like YUP- this is the spot! Andy and Colin made my sister’s bachelorette a 12/10. I don’t recall or remember a bar in which I’ve had THAT MUCH FUN. We had a list of dares and the whole bar starting in on it—- it was such a good time and out of the entire weekend…. It was the MOST FUN spot we went to! Other highlights: If you’re celebrating—- THEY are celebrating—- no matter what the occasion! Photo booth in the back area and Blue Point Toasted Lager on draft. Lastly, the staff and the locals make this place the best!

I've been to Whiskey Taverns a dozen times with co-workers. Is. Not as often as most, but they never disappoint. I've been a fan from day one. Their extensive selection of known whiskey mixed with their less known whiskeys are a great mix for a great time. However, they are wildly known for the loaded tots and their BBQ Short Ribs. The atmosphere and staff are welcoming and fun. If you are looking to unwind with coworkers or decompress with friends, then this is the spot for you.

Had fun time. Decent nachos. Server Brian was very good.. reminds me of my bar back in Michigan before I remodeled it 6 years ago. Good to find a neighborhood tavern style bar in the heart of NYC. In town for 6 weeks for trial of the animal that killed my daughter in Times Square so its nice to have a place to relax after seeing this POS for 7 hours a day. Highly recommended place for a good drink and affordable bite to eat.

  • Chasen Shaw

Really enjoyed my short afternoon break here. The servers were so nice, I wanted to stay longer. All the people were talking to each other. Friendly folks in the middle of Manhattan. And then the lunch special and happy hour...$15 for a burger and beer? Yes, thank you! Total dive bar that I want to come back to as soon as I can!

Stopped in here after walking around Chinatown. Bought two rounds of two picklebacks, and ordered an order of the mozz sticks. The mozz sticks were so delicious I didn't even get a picture, some of the best I've ever had. The drinks were great, too. After we closed out I suggested one more pickleback and the waitress bought them for us! Super sweet waitress. Amazing little neighborhood bar to give a shot.

And a welcome drinks for the just married Great finger food, great selection of liquors, the service and the music... everything was amazing. Thank you! We'll be back for sure ☮️

This place is just fantastic, staying with my niece in “little Italy” and found this bar went there on my own first and then with my wife and niece. I cant say enough about this place “truly brilliant “ Colin made us feel so welcome the atmosphere is amazing….. thank you all …

  • Johnny Yuen

One of the few bars in Chinatown; and, even fewer that serves decent food. Don't know how much longer will they be around because there used to be many more bars in Chinatown and there food was just as good as well. Guess good food and drink doesn't keep a bar open; even if it is a landmark.

  • Johnny Y

Cool place for drinks that are strong and generous. Staff always very friendly and nice. Kitchen can make some good food to sober up from all the drinks.

Appetizer combo was good, though instead of fried pickles, onion rings would’ve been a trifecta. Drinks reasonable price. Wait staff nice people. Sat outside in the street seating, watched the baseball game from TV setup inside at the window.

We were looking for a place to celebrate after our civil wedding ceremony. Little did I know we picked the perfect place! When I called to make the reservation, they asked me if I was celebrating anything. I told them about the wedding. She

What a great find! The friendliest staff in Manhattan by far, and a great Whiskey, Bourbon and Rye selection. Oh and the bacon bowl is fantabulous.

A great spot with good prices and nice deals. They have a lot of drink selections with a nice seasonal drink menu. The staff is friendly and fun, it's was a nice spot for lunch but it looked like a great place for a night out.

  • Ken Hunt

Lovin' it. Across from Supreme Court House (and I'm condemned to 10 days' service here). Found this first day and it's now "my place." Food is terrific, at least based on burger and fried pickles. Colin at the bar rulz!!! More
