- Joslyn HansenAugust 25, 2017Like all of the Whisky franchise locations, the service sets them apart from other sports/beer bars. The bartenders will usually introduce themselves right away, and chat to make you comfortable.

- Hands down, the best staff of any bar in NYC! And the pickle backs aren't bad either!
- One of my fave feel good spots - great music, great food, great drinks, and last but definitely not least.. great staff

- doug jaegerFebruary 10, 2015#bacon + #bluecheese + #maplesyrup = insanely good. It should be illegal.
