Great neighborhood bar. One of a very few bars in North Merced. If you're looking for a loud,…read morepacked bar, this isn't it. It's pretty lowkey. Finding a table isn't too bad. Music isn't too loud. They have a bunch of TVs with different programming. They don't serve food but it's in the same mall as a bunch of restaurants. Wingstop is a few spaces down and they stay open later than the bar. You can grab some wings before you go home.

This is one of the places in Merced with the most refreshing and affordable array of drinks. It's a…read moregood place to start your night. The music and vibe are great usually on Thursday through Saturday nights. If you go early enough, it's attached to Thai Cuisine II and you may be able to order Thai food and drinks at the same time. They also have QR codes attached to the tables so that you can order drinks on your phone, if you're able to get a seat. Once the bartenders are done serving the people in line, they'll deliver your order directly to your table. Unfortunately, the owner (Bobby, I think his name is) doesn't necessarily have the best sense of hospitality and can be rude sometimes. My friend ordered three waters for our table after she ordered some shots, and the owner gave her attitude as if it were such a chore to get us those waters. I didn't see a self-serve water station so I didn't appreciate the attitude. He can be quite dismissive, unless you're a fresh new female who he can flirt with. A different time, my female friend was visiting from out of town and all of a sudden, he was extremely attentive to us and friendly. A change from his usual sour demeanor. I don't go here too often due to the lack of a welcoming vibe from the owner (his staff are usually fine and generally more easy to get along with). Every time I go back, I'm reminded why I don't go too often anymore.

We ordered beer and walked down the street to order our pizza and bring it back. It was great to hang out and take our time while waiting for our son's next water polo game. They do a great job of keeping this place super clean. The vibe is very casual/college town - which fits since this the college is nearby! I would recommend this great place to anyone looking to stop in for a good drink and friendly barkeeper!

I love how much space there is and it even as like a new car kinda fresh smell. There's pool table, lottery, food and a dart game with like online players, I didn't play it but bartender Debbie was telling me about it. Debbie was my first bartender. She was a super cool bartender, very friendly and helpful. I first stumbled across The Whiskey River Saloon because I wanted to watch some NBA playoffs. So if your like me and like to watch a game at a bar and enjoy delicious food The Whiskey River will not disappoint. The Whiskey River saloon has beer on draft, one of the other bartenders, Macy who is super cool as well, makes a tasty Long Island. I will be going back and I encourage people who want to have a good time to stop by The Whiskey Saloon.
