Stopped in for a quick drink after an hour of Burlington exploration....
Space -- Sophisticated
Service -- Super friendly and attentive
Food -- Good, well-priced
Drinks -- Manhattan was (surprisingly) not well crafted... didn't taste any bitters or vermouth... strange?
I'm guessing the drinks are usually better executed, but we came in pretty early on a weekday so I'm thinking maybe we got an inexperienced 'tender. Â Any place alled "The Whiskey Room" should be able to make a bangin' Manhattan. Â On that count I was left pretty unimpressed, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I looked forward to taking my husband there before heading to dinner elsewhere. It was his birthday and he loves whiskey. The list of whiskey is impressive and long. When he asked for advice from our waitress, Yvonne, he got "oh, you are in the right section" then she quickly walked away. We were not impressed. Too, bad as we loved the atmosphere and would like to make this location a regular stop when on Church Street.
Review Source:An excellent retreat in downtown Burlington. A nice, and diverse, selection of whiskeys, and a great offering of wines and beers too, for those preferring fuel with lesser octane. I had the draft Stone 10.10.10 on two different evenings, and it was delicious.
A colleague also tried the cheese bar (we'd eaten dinner before hand), which had a nice selection of hard and soft cheeses, with more than enough for one person to eat.
Service is attentive and very friendly.
This place does it right. Â Not only do they have a large selection of whiskeys, they also have a book that educates you on the kinds you may not be familiar with. Â The bartender was also extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, and very professional. Â Not many places have this kind of professional service and knowledge of whiskeys - and I was impressed. Â She talked the talked and knew her way around the bar when I asked for recommendations based on what notes I enjoy. Â A bit on the pricey side, but worth it to find some whiskeys you may not have picked up off the shelf. Â Go for an experience and sit at the bar - the knowledge is worth the price.
Review Source:Nice bartenders and an extensive whiskey book that makes you want to order a whiskey just to have something while you're reading it. They also have a decent beer and wine selection as well. We didn't eat there, but they have some cheese and meat plates if you want to snack instead of eating a meal there. We did try the scotch egg, a hardboiled egg that had some sort of crust on it. It was pretty good. The place is warm, lots of dark wood and a cozy barr.
Review Source:I have this thing where I think any bar or lounge with the name "Whiskey' in it is bound to be good. I dragged my friends here on this assumption and POW! I was spot on! The atmosphere was inviting and staff was friendly. I'm actually not even a fan of Whiskey although if I were I would have been in heaven. They have quite an extensive Whiskey menu. They also offer food which is a huge bonus! I didn't order food but if I did I would have gone with one of their meat & cheese platters to pair with the Whiskey. I just ordered a dark beer on tap, I don't even recall the name but it was delicious. My friend ordered some fancy Vermont Martini and it was amazing! I loved the dark, quaint atmosphere. Favorite part of all, it's attached to an Irish Pub with live music! Cha Ching! SOLD. I will definitely be back!
Review Source:Stumbled upon this place ...it is not on the town map. It was very nice inside...small, menu is very small for food...I had the hamburger, the meat was a little dry and overcooked for medium but it was pretty darn good anyway! A whole notebook for whiskey...the old fashioned was also good and good service!
Review Source:Whiskey. Whisky. ...and Friendly.
Yes, both spelling are correct! Â Go check out their BOOK of a Whiskey menu and learn all sorts of neat stuff about Whisky!
The bartender was amazingly friendly and worth talking to and tipping well. If you're a fan of the drink, do take a gander.
(They also have great beers and cocktails.... by the way!)
This is the kind of place I like: dark, classy feel, small but big enough to afford some privacy/have no trouble getting a table, quiet enough so you can talk but loud enough so it's not awkward.
Their big thing is whiskey. They have a pretty big selection, but not impressively big. It's a fine place to go if you want whiskey, but don't go expecting the rarest of bourbons or anything.
This place is great. Â I was recently in burlington for a very short time and we went more than once. Â They have a VERY good selection of whiskey. Â The food was good too, and interesting, we didn't eat a meal there (I don't know if you can eat a whole meal there) but the appetizers we ordered were really good. Â We had a cheese plate among other things and it was quite delicious.
