Great neighborhood spot. Solid beer, wine, and cocktail list; nice bartenders; you can basically always get a seat or table. Also good choice if you’re trying to read/do work by yourself at a bar
amazing whisky selection and even better grilled cheese sandwiches. grab a dram and a sando and hunker down for a few hours.
This is my go to spot when I want to have a cocktail and work in the sun. Good drinks, great atmosphere, and generally quiet.
Chelsea BrowneJanuary 1, 2016Awesome patio spot in the summer, great for early Saturday afternoons. Love the grilled cheese, every single one is amazing! Try a few during happy hour when they're $5 each
Niki RicerApril 29, 2013What a great spot! I wanted to try every grilled cheese sandwich they offered because they all sounded so delicious. We ordered 2 and split them between 6 people. So good, and reasonably priced.
Afi Yellow-DukeSeptember 26, 2015grilled cheese, whiskey, and beer are some of my favorite things. this place specializes in all 3. try the betsy and if it's nice, sit in the back! there's a beautiful outdoor space.
Victoria U.May 31, 2014So many different types of beer and bourbon with a great backyard. Fun fact it's named for a body of water that doesn't stretch here anymore because you need water to make bourbon and beer.- Boris JonesApril 8, 2015f you like Whiskey, Noorman’s Kil will be your friend. They have more than 400 whiskeys, delicious grilled cheese, a beautiful wooden bar and chill vibes. Read more
Noah WeissAugust 5, 2013The huge garden in the back is a well manicured palace filled with extensive whiskey options and delicious grilled cheeses.
Lovely outdoor seating, huge whiskey selection, friendly staffs and owner, kids friendly, plus by far THE BEST grill cheese I've ever had.
Date Night Is...April 14, 2013One of the best bars in the hood. 400 whiskey options and primo grilled cheese. If its nice out, be sure to sneak out to the beautifully landscaped backyard.
Michael GalpertMarch 15, 2012All sandwiches are pretty good, but Vernice is the most interesting, combo of thick Conn ricotta, sweet fruit preserves & Nutella, sourdough. A dessert sandwich, but the sourdough adds funk.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Not only do they know their bourbon, but it also might be the best grilled cheese in Brooklyn. Read more
Amy TremmelMarch 23, 2015Even if you're not into whiskey, this place is a must! Great selection of beers. Must get the grilled cheese!
Cooper SmithNovember 2, 2014Incredible bourbon, rye, and scotch selection. Rye fans should consider Whistle Pig 👄💨🐷
- The Sandwich Enthusiast 🍔February 2, 2016Real pretty spot. Great bourbon selection, interesting grilled cheese menu. Got to head back and try some more.
Alyxa LeaseAugust 8, 2014You could quickly get overwhelmed with the whiskey choices here, bring a friend that knows what they're doing or make friends with the bar tender!
Justin CanettiOctober 19, 2016Excellent selection of whiskeys. Mostly scotch, which I enjoy. Nice backyard in the summer
Andrew LitvakMarch 4, 2015One of the best whisky selections I've seen. A must-visit for anyone who takes their drink seriously.
super friendly bartenders. tell them what kind of whiskey you like and they'll make some cool recommendations for new stuff to try.
Come for the whiskey. Stay for the grilled cheese and I tend to like being here around happy hour.- Killer grilled cheeses, all of the whiskeys, nice craft beers and great people. The best.
Tons of whiskey and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. What's not to love?
Nitzan BDecember 17, 2016Loved it, such a cool mellow spot. Would make it my regular place if I could
Ryan AmbsSeptember 16, 2014Cocktails are good not great but the whisky selection is such that you should probably be drinking it straight anyways. Great back garden too- Victoria U.November 2, 2017The best grilled cheese and whiskey pairing you will ever have in your life.
Molly TJanuary 22, 2013Grilled cheeses aren't made in a pan - less greasy & oily than you're used to - still pairs well with the great whiskey selection.
Get the Karen grilled cheese. It's the gooiest, cheesiest option. Trust me!
Go ahead and order a Spicy Pickleback with that and check out the backyard!
amazing grilled cheese and endless whiskey options. what more could you ask for?
Lia D'AmicoMay 19, 2013They have every single whisky or rye ever made. Ask the bartender for something to match your taste.
- Missy KJanuary 9, 2012Best place for whiskey. If you're hungry, combine that craving with a grilled cheese. Such a great combination.
Nick RudemillerAugust 29, 2013Fantastic whiskey selection. And..great draft beers if you aren't into whiskey
every whiskey you've ever dreamed of. Large outdoor area.
