I expected to walk into this place and be surrounded with girls dancing on the bar ala Coyote Ugly (sad that's what I think of when I think whiskey bar!), but was pleasantly surprised all around.
We came for a baseball game, Tuesday night around 730. There were some open tables, but we opted for the bar. Asian female bartender was great, and the beers were fresh and clean off the tap and some nights they've got great specials on domestic beers and Monday they've got a deal on ribs.
Anyway, we ordered the Protein Platter (new on the menu) and the Salmon sandwich. Protein Platter was EXCELLENT, and the salmon sandwich was cooked well but I felt like the spicy aoli lacked spice and taste.
Staff was attentive, cheerful and accurate. Food was great, but I felt the salmon was a little blah. Sure it's not your average Plaza Midwood haunt with the mix of punks, bankers and bums BUT it's really a comfy, nice bar that I'll definitely head back to.
