    The service here is great. Ive heard it only picks up when NYU kids come out for drinks, but their whiskey selection is not one to scoff at. We exchanged a lot of music with our bartender, who played us Sitting in The Park.

    My brother happen to find this place while doing Laundry. We had a blast even though it was a bit quite with customers. The bar tender was awesome! Tigg was his name? sorry if I misspelled it but awesome service!

    I had an event here, and I was really surprised. They were super accommodating, printed out signs for the event, the bartender Jordan was great, and we all had the best time. Thanks guys!

    You dont go to Whisky Town for the selection of pretty much anything. The beer is bottom barrel choice and the whisky/bourbon selection is mid level for the area. With that said, the atmosphere is laid back and easy going which is nice when you are just looking to hang out and chat with some friends. Best to get there on the earlier end though if you want to be able to actually talk to people around you.Bartenders are friendly and attentive which earns this place that 4th star.

    Lovely quiet bar, our server Dash was incredibly sweet and kind, the pretzel was amazing and the spicy pickle back was phenomenal. We were shocked such a gem wasn’t packed with people and it was by far the friendliest service we received in the city. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend ✨

    Met up with a few friends at about 8pm on a Thursday. Went up to the bar and met the bartender, AC, and had a shot of house whiskey and a pickle back, which went down better than I expected. Sat down at a booth and had some more drinks. They only serve beer in a can, but they do put the can in a nice little beer coozy. So we had our beers and a shot or two here and there. To our surprise, AC brought us some fresh popcorn. Awesome, right? Whats even more awesome is that he kept refilling our popcorn as soon as we ran out. You heard me... FREE POPCORN! Anyway, the place was totally relaxed and perfect for catching up with friends. End of the night and the tab was significantly lower than expected for a NYC bar. Huge bonus!! Overall, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was totally relaxed. Place was more on the empty side, but that was perfect for us. Not too loud or overcrowded. I will definitely head back there.

    Fun place with friends and family! Bring a llama!

  • Review 8 (2022-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    Had a good time with friends. A couple dartboards and a dozen or so stools with some narrow tables. Relatively young (and white) crowd and fun throwback pop music.

  • Review 9 (2020-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Security guards are cool down to earth, the atmosphere is hilarious to me. Tuve have a photo booth which takes awesome pictures of your drunk friends. Bartenders work their magic with what they have on hand.

  • Review 10 (2023-06-12 - Rating: 4)

    AMAZING VIBES AND MUSIC!!!! The dj is amazing and plays different genres.I went on a Saturday from 12:30-1:30am and it was busy but not packed. Most people seemed like they were in their late 20s and it had more of a bar vibe than somewhere to dance.There’s an adorable Photo Booth and it might be free (I don’t remember).

  • Review 11 (2022-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Good chill bar - the whiskey and coke was both big and strong. Lots of options and a cool setting.Had a few board games to play while you drink.

  • Review 12 (2019-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    Pure fun! They have the best music. Yes, its fratty but hey, youre in the lower east side. What do you expect? A good place to let loose and dance!

  • Review 13 (2014-10-09 - Rating: 4)

    I went here for a friends 30th birthday. There was a trivia night going on which was pretty well run (even though I am terrible). They even brought out some free shots and pickle juice chasers for the birthday.The beer selection was very underwhelming, but they had a Founders all day IPA and a Brooklyn lager in cans.

    Great bar with great staff. Very fun place to hang out and chill. Nice drinks plus they also serve grilled cheeses.

    I love the toilet paper in this bar. Its quality/divine. Im a big fan of the cocktail onions too .

  • Review 26 (2019-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    After the madness of Times Square, stopping in to this bar for a beer was just what I needed. 90s punk on the stereo and Dogma on the TVs. It ruled.

  • Review 27 (2018-03-16 - Rating: 5)

    Super casual bar. But it has the best pickle back in NYC hands down.

  • Review 28 (2018-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorites for a late night out. Lots of dancing to 90s through top 40 music

  • Review 29 (2017-12-10 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 31 (2017-10-02 - Rating: 5)

    Love the Trivia Night on Mondays. Starts 830pm sharp.

  • Review 32 (2023-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    Landon is the best bartender ever! Trivia! Trivia! Trivia! Need I say more? This is the ultimate spot for trivia in the East Village on Tuesday. The host is to die for! You will be missing out if you don’t come and experience the vibes Whiskey Town has to offer!

  • Review 33 (2023-05-10 - Rating: 5)

    Landon was great! Welcoming, nice, and caring.

  • Review 34 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 35 (2017-02-04 - Rating: 4)

    Perfect cheesy playlist to end the night, but can get ridiculously crowded and gross

  • Review 36 (2022-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    My friend and I still talk about this place. We went a few weeks ago and played darts and had great whiskey sours. Very relaxing and chill spot.

  • Review 37 (2020-03-04 - Rating: 4)

    We make it a point to stop whenever we visit NYC. Nothing fancy but good drinks good music and friendly staff.

  • Review 43 (2022-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    Julian is the nicest bartender I ever met. Loved the drinks. We had a great time!

  • Review 44 (2016-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place! Definitely more fun as the night goes on, but if you go around 10/11pm on a Friday night, youll have lots of space to dance! The DJ is also awesome - a nice combo of 80s, 90s, and todays pop/dance music. Drinks are on the pricier side, but what else do you expect on the Lower East Side/Manhattan? Bartenders are also pretty cool.

  • Review 45 (2013-01-28 - Rating: 4)

    Big crowds on a weekend night and a lot of fun.

  • Review 46 (2023-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Always first stop for Tony Tuesday, Landen is the best.

  • Review 47 (2019-03-14 - Rating: 4)

    Whiskey town is a great time if you don’t mind the crowd. It can get a little close quarters in there. The music at night is great though, it’s pretty much every throwback you want to hear. And when I say you, I mean literally everyone in there so the energy is great.They sell 6packs of beer too. Really nice to not have to fight back to the bar!

  • Review 48 (2019-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Mike, Julian, Games, DJ and much much more! Love.

  • Review 49 (2019-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    John the bartender was awesome! Genuine and incredibly thoughtful helping us celebrate my engagement party at the place we met two years ago. Great vibe great bar, music gets loud as the night goes on and it’ll get packed on the weekends - still a fun place!

  • Review 50 (2018-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    A really fun dive bar in NYC. They have beer cans, you can buy a cooler to share with your friends. The pickle backs are always fun with a large group. It is a really affordable night out. On the weekends its packed and people dance. They play great music. Crowd is in mid to late 20s mostly. Bartenders are fast and friendly. No food, but of you ask you can bring food in. They accept credit and debit cards.

  • Review 51 (2017-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    Trendy crowd. Good drinks and music

  • Review 52 (2014-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best bars I have been to in New York. The atmosphere is amazing since everyone is dancing and singing along. Its a small place but never seems to disappoint. Would recommend it to anyone trying to go to a good bar in New York City. Play all different types of music and the crowd is pretty young nothing too old. Perfect for college kids

  • Review 53 (2018-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    Fun little bar with a pleasant atmosphere and a live DJ on weekends. Cheap beers and nostalgic music ranging from hip hop to 2000s pop and rock meant that the bar became very crowded close to midnight! It was exciting but a very tight squeeze.

  • Review 54 (2018-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great dive bar with a super friendly bar tender, John. Grilled cheese menu is superb, I recommend the Italian grilled cheese. Best trivia in town on Mondays. Very laid back atmosphere work lots of games and free popcorn!
