Don't believe the hype!!! My wife and I stopped in with a few friends for some food and drinks, and the first impressions of this place is good. But that's as good as it gets. The only goal of this establishment is to take your money and in return you receive bad service. They blatantly over serve alcohol to a lot of patrons. But it gets worse, when we were able to finally submit a food order it was taken in a very unprofessional manner. Then the entrees were brought out before our appetizer, I tried to speak to the waitress about it but her response was to roll her eyes and walk off. So I requested to speak to the manager. When the manager arrived he already was very defensive and was in a foul mood. I asked him why our food came out in the order it did and his response was " be happy you got your food!!" At that point I explained to him that is not how you treat customers and that we are leaving, his response was just walking off! So as you can see don't waste your valuable time and money.
Review Source:Came in from out of town, from Charleston. The restaurant was pretty packed (many college football games were on so we definitely understood the long wait since we all work in food and bev) so we went upstairs to grab a drink while we waiting. Bartender was very rude, didn't crack a smile once. Waited about an hour for a table. Caught one of the hostess giving us dirty looks and even rolled her yes at us once, not to sure why? We got our table took 20 mins for a server to come over. Got our food and it was absolutely awful! Fries were cold chicken seemed raw and rubbery. Overall wouldn't feed it to my dogs. Extremely bad experience. Rude all around.
Review Source:The wings are great, especially on 1/2 off Mondays. The rooftop bar is also great, the 2 flights of stairs help you work off the wings. Â
Downside-on weekends they have a DJ and the music volume is VERY VERY loud. Â This is a bar/restaurant and in trying to make it into a dance club, the Warehouse loses the appeal of lounge for conversing and sipping a fine drink. Â We have to yell so loudly that the person in the next seat can hear pieces of a conversation. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I can state that the combination of alcohol, yelling over loud music, and trying to hear over loud music causes damage to the vocal cords and hearing abilities.
another pretty cool spot in the trendy Plaza-Midwood area, one of my favorite Charlotte neighborhoods. Â Food is pretty good and usually they have some type of half decent special going. Â I would hardly call myself a whiskey guru, hell to think of it the only thing I know about whiskey is jack daniels and jim beam, which I know beam is technically bourbon, but they have a lot more options then the average going bar will. Â Anyways, back to the warehouse review. Â The rooftop bar is a great hangout, the wife and I have spent a few weekend afternoons here on warm sunny days. Â The crowd is typically a late 20's early 30's kinda crowd, usually good people just looking to have a good time. Â This isn't exactly the kinda place that makes you dying to go back, however, it is a cool place to spend some time have some drinks and you typically won't regret the trip. Â I have heard the brunch is pretty decent but have not had the opportunity to partake myself.
Review Source:My reivew is based off of only the roof top bar area.
What I do like about this place is that it's hoppin-and-poppin with people. Â The pretty, the ugly and all us in between. Â They made STRONG drinks too. Â I should probably put that in the "what I don't like" section. Â I'm 30ish..strong drinks are never good for me. Â
What I didn't like was the CROWDED roof top. Â You couldn't put your arms in the air and wave'em like you just don't care even if you wanted to. Â People stepping on my toes was fun. Â Just too crowded for my taste. Â Gosh I sound old.
Bartenders are super nice here, Great roof top views, Good food at a reasonable price, They always ask your name and tell you theirs, They then remember your name throughout your whole visit!
Oh did I mention they have Whiskey, and they pour heavy! Â We just moved to Charlotte, we've been here 3 times already, we think it's our new spot for sure!
Warning: A Sunday funday could end up with you showing your ass to strangers. Not saying, just saying.
I go here a bunch, no doubt. It is, in my mind, one of THE Charlotte Sunday spots. Beyond the Sundays, a nice view, good beer prices and food that is hit and miss for me. I definitely like it as a bar, just luke warm on the food.
While I can't certainly classify this place as a true Warehouse (see also, Men's Warehouse), it is a great bar/addition to an already happening scene in Plaza Midwood.
This place rules supreme in the Spring/Summer time, as their rooftop bar is one of the best in Charlotte. I believe nearby Peculiar Rabbit also has a rooftop, but it's sans bar, so I still would give my vote to Whiskey in this particular neighborhood.
$4 Jack Daniels AllDayErrDay, which is always my go-to. Food has always been superb, and is definitely one notch above normal bar fare.
If the weather is nice, head upstairs---you won't be disappointed.
I have a mixed opinion on this place. Â I have ate here three times, with one YUM experience, one "That was pretty good" and one "eeeehhhhh" that was ok experience.
The salmon salad is DELICIOUS! Â I would highly recommend it for a healthy option. Â I also saw a few friends get it. Â The only thing I will say is that the actual salmon portion has looked a little inconsistent.
I got the Buffalo Chicken wrap with grilled chicken instead of fried. Â It was pretty good, nothing special. Â
My ehhhhhh dish was the Prime Rib sandwich. Â I was really excited to try it, especially after my server spoke so highly of it, but I was disspointed. Â I think the worst part was the bun it was served on. Â It was what I'd consider a "sandwich bun" you would get at a cafeteria, with weird seed things on it.
Good drink specials....Bud Light for $2 and Bloody Mary bar with a million sauces and mixes for $3. Â The upstairs patio is awesome! Â Though doesn't compete with the new member of the neighborhood's Peculiar Rabbit.
I came here last night and I think our family may have found a place where we could become regulars. Coming in, first thought was that it was a bar...but not like every other bar where only sports ruled the televisions. It had a family feel as most bars didn't. On top of the family feeling, service was great. Our waiter was on top of everything and we even shared a nice conversation with her.
So lets get on to the food. I ordered the Charleston Shrimp Pasta which I thought was pretty good. It was a well portioned meal, with garlic bread, cheese, and of course shrimp on top of linguini pasta. I thought it was great. It had a nice blend of taste as well as a cheesy taste which I say is always good. It wasn't too overpowering to the point where you couldn't taste any of the other flavors of the dish.
Other dishes that were ordered were of course the Fried Green Tomatoes. It seems like it's a favorite around here so we decided to order it and it was good! There were no complaints about that dish.
Overall, I felt like this place was a great restaurant for families and drinkers alike. With a loft with a great view of the city (which I recommend to go during fall when it's cooler) and drinks and food, you won't go wrong!
I'm going to start this off by saying - to be fair, I came here after an event that was partially sponsored by this place, therefore it was SUPER busy. And from what I experienced, there wasn't a ton of parking, which is always annoying.
Because it was super busy - our service was pretty terrible & I feel like they could have prepared better, knowing there would be a rush of people coming in. I think on a more "regular" night, the service might be better & I'll for sure give them a second chance.
After waiting over an hour for my food (a salad), the order was wrong (I asked for two things to be removed & they were not) and the food was just sub-par.
One really GREAT thing about Whiskey Warehouse is their roofdeck...amazing view of the Charlotte Skyline! I plan to go back some night this summer & give them a second chance & enjoy the rooftop scenery!
The food sounded pretty good, but we never found out. We sat, ignored, for about 20 minutes before walking out.
We sat on the upstairs patio and were summarily ignored after being handed menus. The only attention we received was when we finally started walking back down the stairs, hungry and parched. But too little, too late. There are plenty of great restaurants in the neighborhood (with great service), don't waste your time here.
Excellent selection of Scotch, Whiskey and Bourbon! Â Good pours for the price. Â Knowledgable staff - they know what they got and got what they know! Â Helped us learn even more about whiskeys, bourbons, and scotch.
Service is always friendly and attentive. Super fun gals!
The pimento cheese and chips Rocked! Yum!
Highly recommend Whiskey Warehouse!
Meh. Â Meh. Â Meh.
This place is very Meh.
I've never eaten here, so I cannot comment to the food, but as a bar, the place is just very average. Â For starters, it really does not fit into the Plaza Midwood scene at all. Â Whiskey Warehouse would feel much more at home in the EpiCenter, or on Montford. Â Yes, it's *that* kind of crowd. Â Do you like yuppies? Â Do you like aging frat boys who don't realize that's it's not cool anymore to wear croakies and Salmon colored shorts (really, it never was)? Â Do you like overhearing incredibly douchey conversations because the place is so crowded and apparently aging frat stars are tone deaf? Â Then maybe you'll love Whiskey Warehouse! Â
I give it 3 stars because the bartenders were competent, polite, and  certainly easy on the eyes.  The woman messed up my drink order and accidentally made me two Jack & Gingers (even though I was not with anyone at the bar...she must have really thought I was a lush).  It wasn't really her fault, as I think she simply misheard me over the raucous of stupidity.  However, she didn't make a fuss or seem annoyed when I told her.  Even better, when I ordered my second, she just gave me the extra one which she had put aside...for free!  Pretty savvy on her part, because it led to a bigger tip.  Also, my Jack & Ginger was only $4, which is about as low as you'll find it in Charlotte. Â
The place has a nice interior and cool rooftop patio (I love rooftop bars...especially on top of skyscrapers...Ghost Bar!) Â However, it really goes to waste on such a detestable crowd. Â Though they're apparently often crowded, so I suppose the owners know what they're doing. Â Dolla dolla bills ya'll.
I love the fairly new rooftop patio here - just awesome! My only complaint is that you cannot get food service there. I will say the bartenders were very accommodating and friendly.
We went downstairs (after about a 10 minute wait) to get a table for 6. 15 minutes later no one even greeted us - I asked a nearby server if she was ours and she replied no, I then asked if she would get the server who was ours. 10 minutes later still nothing so I went back to the hostess who about 10 minutes later sent over that original server who claimed we weren't hers. If they were really busy I might have understood but we watched our "server" flirt with several guys at the bar and then stand around and chit-chat at the hostess station. After I explained to her that we would be leaving she just lamely said "oh sorry" . We went over to Jacks where the service was fantastic. I think management really needs to work on giving great service because they missed out on 6 dinners and several drinks...not to mention I may think twice about going there on game-day due to poor service.
3-star is generous, it's more like 2.5-star for my recent visit on Thursday  to meet friends for drinks.  The place was pretty packed for 9pm.  The 4 of us got some appetizers.  Nachos was HORRIBLE.  For $8, it definitely did not worth the price.  Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I would rather go to Taco Hell (I mean Bell) and get nacho there.  The pimento cheese spread was ok, look a little odd since it was mostly shredded cheese.  It had a little kick to it.  Not sure tortilla chips is the best companion for it... The best was the fried cheese balls. Â
We ordered wine that night, it was half-price bottle night. Â Same as my original review, nothing to complain about the drinks. Â
Now on to service. Â It was fine for the most part. Â And just when you think something improved, one of the 3 waitresses that served our table (and she acted like she's the more "senior" of the 3) came over at 11ish, stopped us in the middle of our conversation and asked if we could tap out because she would much rather go home. Â REALLY?! Â Here's a news flash: how about get your rude & lazy butt home and let someone else finish out our table and get the tips that you obviously didn't deserve. Â I worked in restaurants before, I waited tables, so I'm not just talking out of a pie hole with no merit. Â That just totally rubbed me the wrong way. Â
All these months later, food was still so-so (super sub-par for nacho... a bar food staple that's really not hard to master) and the service still needed improvement.
Whiskey Warehouse has always been a favorite when in P Wood. Food is tasty (way more than your normal bar food) and service is always friendly. The addition of the rooftop bar is genius and a perfect vantage point to watch the city skyline. Had the portabella burger last time with sweet potato fries and it was all delicious. Of course, I'm a sucker for portabella burgers, those shrooms make everything delicious.
They have a wide selection of whiskey (of course) and other liquors. And a decent selection of beer. Bartender made me a gimlet one time and it was spot on. I love me my gimlets.
They have a great space for hanging out with a group of buddies, watching whatever sport is on, a fun night out, or even a date spot (mood lighting ftw).
Solid neighborhood place to chill with friends or grab a good meal. I'm particularly fond of Sunday's when the bloody mary bar is set up. They've got a lot of TV's set up and play some good music. And ladies...it doesn't have a feel of a sports bar, so no worries there.
I've had the fish & chips here a few times and it's my go to meal. Not the best I've ever had, but let's be honest...it's fried fish and fried potatoes...score!
Met some friends here on Sunday for drinks and food. Â I've stopped in here for drinks before but had never ordered any food. Â They had bloody marys for $3, along with mimosa's, redneck mimosa's, and bud lights for $2. Â I thought the redneck mimosa's were especially good; they are a mixture of lions head beer, orange juice, and a splash of ginger ale. Â
I'm not a huge salmon fan but the the salmon salad looked especially good for $9 and the chicken tenders were nicely breaded and very fresh. Â I had the southern sandwich which consisted of a fried chicken breast on a bun with bacon, pimento cheese, lettuce, and tomato on top...great sandwich!
Good enough pub food with a kind of annoying attitude.
I was happy to see something go in to the space left by Creation. Â
I've been several times for supper or lunch with groups ranging from two to eight. Â They have a burger with bacon and egg that is delicious, if freakishly messy, and what I usually get. Â Their sweet potato fries are crispy and garlicky like I like them. Â They have at least a couple of vegetarian options, although the one my partner gets usually would better be described as cheese sauce with a few vegetables over white rice (not unappealing, but not light or healthy in any way). Â
There are LOTS of TVs throughout the bar and next to each booth, although they are easy enough to ignore if you want to have a conversation. Â There seems to be an extensive bar, although I've never tried it.
As for the attitude, this is a restaurant with roughly eight parking spaces during the day when other businesses in the area are open. Â The restaurant has decided that a good use of one of those spaces, and the one closest to the door mind you, is as permanent parking of a testosterone surrogate muscle car. Â God knows I'm all for attitude and funky, but not when it interferes with function. Â
The staff routinely park in the post office parking lot next door during business hours, which then leaves the post office without adequate parking. Â WW's owners are adding a rooftop bar this winter, requiring even more parking. Â There is a sense of entitlement and disdain for their neighbors that doesn't sit well with me.
If you are looking for a place to watch a game or for a bar at which to stop on the way home, you could do worse. Â If you are looking for a good neighbor, you'll probably want to move on.
It's a shame this place is getting such poor reviews. Â I had a great experience here last Thurs. night the staff was more than friendly and how can you beat half priced wine by the glass or bottlev-that will bring me back any night.
I enjoyed the atmosphere and my whiskey shots. Â I think this is a great place to bring a group for some cocktails. Â This place has a lot of potential can't wait to come back and check out the menu and some more whiskey.
I met a few friends out here last night and really enjoyed my evening. The bartenders were quick and friendly. I enjoyed the DJ's music - nice mix of some new and old school. Of course I drank whiskey. Drink prices were reasonable. There was a good mix of different types of people in the crowd. Not as many "frat boys" as others have reviewed.
I did not have any food, but would go back to try it. So my 4 star rating is just for drinks and the evening vibe of the place.
I would go back.
I'm a tad overdue on my update. Several visits later and Whiskey isn't has horrible as the rep it seems to have accrued. Yes the fratty crowd hasn't changed much, but it's quite an eclectic fratty crowd.
My last visit was for the UFC fight and I got lots of free schwag. Free schwag, whaaa!? Bud light sponsored the event and gave us free hats, key chain can openers, t-shirts, bottle sleeve/glove coozy thingy and free beer! Free beer, whaaa?
The drink specials are decent, $3 for OMB Copper on Saturday nights at a place that looks this new and nice?? That's a steal. Food isn't too shabby either. Good fried green tomatoes, decent wings, decent Mac n Cheese, and the barrel burger is pretty fulfilling and rad. What is the barrel burger you say? Well my friend, it's a tasty meat patty topped with chili and a fried egg of course!
The DJ still plays a lil' too much Kesha and crap though.
Came here to watch the Giants game since it wasn't on at home. Â Decided to partake in some $2 mimosas and my friends tried the $3 bloody mary's. Â We knew we'd be here for a while so we decided to eat smething right away and then again later. Â I had the wings in the barbalo sauce, combo of buffalo and bbq. Â They were really good, had a bit of a kick but it evened out w/the sweetness of the bbq sauce. Â My friends had fried green tomatoes, which I didn't try but have had them and I really like them, and spinach and atrichoke dip, that was really good too.
After a few hours we decided to eat again and we had grilled cheeses all around. Â My nephews had them here once and we all kept stealing bites because it was so good! Â I got mac and cheese as a side and the others got fries and sweet potato fries. Â Grilled cheese was delish but the sides are not their strong point. Â Fries are bit soggy and the mac and cheese was okay, but I didn't find myself digging in like I normally would.
I like it here, the beers are decently priced, its a nice bar, and the staff is pretty good. Â I was here early so parking wasn't an issue, but I know it can be. Â The clientele was very mixed, there were families, couples out for brunch, some elderly people, plenty of rowdy football fans, but nobody off putting. Â All in all I like it here and tend to forget about it. Â I will def be back!
A warehouse full of whiskey -sure, sounds like fun. A few of us dropped by Whiskey Warehouse after a late dinner down the street.
We arrived around 9:30 pm on a Friday night and, while it wasn't super crowded it was starting to fill up. The music was definitely loud and they were playing all sorts of tunes, mostly rap & pop when I was there. I agree with Julia S. - the crowd was pretty frat like - but frat brothers 10 years post-college.
We were able to order drinks right away and the bartender was fairly friendly and efficient. Just as their namesake states, they have an extensive whiskey menu, and I would hope the servers are helpful in those selections, but none of us partook in those libations. They also had a decent wine selection, too. Inside, WW sports a number of big flats screens and a partial brick/industrial feel inside.
I imagine if you can score a table, this would be a good spot to hang with some friends for a few hours. They also offered some fairly sweet daily drink specials - one that caught my eye is their Sunday drink special - $2 mimosas and $3 Bloody Marys. Mmmmm hmmm...can't wait until noon on Sunday!
I went there on a friday night with a couple friends and we had some drinks and dinner. I agree that this place pretty much seems outta place with its location and some of the douche bags it appears to draw. Maybe they will draw a better customers in the future but as long as the crowd they have now is spending, then management is probably perfectly ok with them.
I had the salmon which was delicious and we all shared the nachos app which was pretty spicy but also delicious. I found the beer selection to be moderately priced, maybe leaning a little towards  expensive. I didn't bother with the whiskey menu as that stuff pretty much turns me into a raging asshole. The decor of the place was cozy and it seemed to be laid out fairly well. However, the parking there sucks and we were lucky to get a spot. I'd probably give this place 4 stars but for the time being the frat boy customers look like they've all just graduated from Buckhead Saloon downtown and brought their doucheness to a new venue for display. Go check it out if you've got a chance. I probably wouldn't recommend being a regular though.
You really have to know what time and day to visit a particular venue in Charlotte, especially one like this which at any given moment can be a family restaurant, a sports bar or a pickup joint. Â
When it's not full of yahoos, it's a really nice place from my experience today. Â I got the Warehouse Burger and wasn't crazy about the BBQ sauce which tasted more like wing sauce (tart 'n spicy instead of rich 'n smoky). Â But it was perfectly cooked and the bacon was crisp and tasty. Â The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. Â And most importantly, true to their name, they have an obvious, albeit expensive selection of bourbon, whiskey and whisky that covers all the bases.
I'd give them four stars if they got rid of all the flat screen TV's and were in a location more suitable to the clientele that enjoys eating and drinking what's on their menu. Â If we're lucky, when something else trendy and new opens up in PM, WW will mature into a really great spot. Â Time will tell, so stay thirsty my friends...
Well, it seems the potential for upscale whiskey bar is being squandered on the frattiest crowd ever to descend on Plaza/Midwood (which is saying a lot, considering the crowd TST draws). Since the cask beer is my main reason for coming here - and its seldom on tap - I'm giving up.
The parking in this area has always been tight but its been taken to a whole other level of screwed since WW opened. Harris Teeter and CVS have put towing programs into effect because patrons of this joint (and hey, others too, but no one really complained until, coincidentally, right after WW opened) are too lazy to park in the municipal lots scattered around the 'hood. Watch out driving by the place in the wee hours, too - you'll inevitably be lunged at by Turd Ferguson and the Misses, thinking you're the cab they called. Idiots.
Went the other day and tasted the fried green tomato burger (pretty good) and the fries (very tasty). Â The food was not bad at all. Â Still, I'm not really digging this place.
WW is basically a sports bar. Â I don't know if it's a chain, but it has that feel (drab uniforms on the staff, an overly planned "warm" decor, etc.). Â Drinks are pricier than at any of the surrounding watering holes (except maybe Thomas Street Tavern). Â They were out of the cask ale that I had gone in to try.
Oh, and the music was horrific. Â Not sure if that was the house's choice or if there was a jukebox in there, but there was a lot of recent top-40 formula pop going on. Â No me gusta.
And then there's the absence of prices on their drink menus. Â Very tacky. Â It makes ordering a drink a bit like getting a new corporate credit card. Â You get the bill and realize you should have asked more questions and read the fine print. Â Luckily earlier Yelp reviews warned about this, and luckily we weren't there for shots of whisky anyway.
Had to try it out, but won't be back. Â Since they seem to be packed every time I drive past on Thursdays - Saturdays, they won't miss my patronage. Â Best of luck.
i first noticed this place existed yesterday when we were on our way to the Penguin and the stupid bus couldn't decide if it was stopping or not at the Thomas Street light so i had to roll up to the next street where Whiskey Warehouse awaited. We decided to come back and give it a try. Â
We really liked the feel of the place, exposed brick walls, whiskey bottle pub tables, plenty of whiskey decor going on. There were a number of tvs but the sound didn't seem to sync with the tvs i was watching. i'm assuming that is something that will be worked out. Â
Unfortunately, i have to work today so i couldn't really explore the whiskey or beer options. Waitress said $2 Bud Lights today and $4 Jack everyday i believe.
So we were there for the food. While not a huge menu, there was enough to choose from with most of the standard fare. Of course, i went with the buffalo chicken wrap ($8) minus tomato. It wasn't bad, the sauce didn't seem to be simply on the chicken pieces giving it some buffalo taste even if you were just chewing on the wrap and lettuce which i appreciate. The regular fries weren't bad but the sweet potato fries weren't much better and probably not worth the dollar upgrade. The sweet potato fries don't compare to the ones from the Penguin.
The warehouse chicken received a thumbs up at our table and the Prime rib sandwich was given the "it was ok" rating.
Our server was on top of our drink refills.
i kind of like this place fitting in to the area, sure it isn't too 'eclectic and fun' but it gives a unique watering hole option.
