    Guasacaca Chips
    Anita W.

    From the kitchen to the bar, service was friendly, and informative. Very helpful with knowing what each dish consisted of. All great sides to chose from. Flavor was wonderful. Loved the Amarillo sauce to drip the chicken in Clean dining area, plenty seating. Love the open garage like doors to open on a nice day. The bar is located on the connected building next door. Bar service was quick and friendly

    Chicken + Whiskey, what a cute little gem nestled in Navy Yard. Not sure if this chain will last. The menu is limited and the food is just okay. It's good but not a place that one thinks, Yummers let's go to Chicken and Whiskey. There is just too much competition food wise in the area. Customer service is fantastic! I'll give them that. Ambiance is casual. Parking is a nightmare. Especially on game days. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return. Glad I did try!

    1/4 Chicken White
    Deb W.

    Checked this spot out after work and the food was delicious but the drinks were amazing! I enjoyed the food although my 1/4 was a small portion for me but everything was reasonably priced. I recommend this spot for cleanliness, outdoor seating, and delicious food!

    Ordered takeout here and the food was extremely good. The white meat was moist and seasoned so well. Update 2: Came here again and the food was as good as the first time.

    La Ensalada De Pollo Frito

    Chicken + Whiskey is such a chill, low-key gem serving up some seriously good Peruvian food. Their rotisserie chicken, fried chicken salad, La Comadre, and black beans all hit the spot--flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I've even ordered catering from here for events, and it was a huge hit with friends! Beyond the food, the vibe here is great. The service is good. Quick and easy. The 'whiskey' side of the restaurant is a bar with live music, adding to the energy. Whether you're grabbing a casual meal or hanging out with friends over drinks, this place delivers. Definitely a go-to spot!

    Side dishes; Arroz Chaufa and Seasonal Vegetables

    The chicken is so amazing and the aii Amarillo sauce. I ordered roasted veges and for some reason they were burn-your-mouth-off spicy??? I did not expect that and couldn't eat them. The arroz chaufa is delicious but be advised: has meat in it. I think they should label spicy, vegan, and vegetarian better and more clearly on their menu. The old fashioned for $8 was a good deal too. Nice outdoor seating. I will be back for sure.

    I have been trying to check out chicken & whiskey for a while. This place is located in the navy yard area and is right near nationals park. When you arrive if you go to the left you are in the bar area and if you go to the right is where the restaurant is. For two people I recommend the whole chicken plus a couple of sides. The staff will provide their recommendations as well. The most flavorful item were the beans and the chicken. However I did not like the corn as it was a cold dish and being from texas street corn is a hot dish. The atmosphere is cool and the price point for this much food is affordable.

    Messy but amazing

    Best arepa I've had in DC, and the people who work there are lovely. So lucky and happy we have them in Navy Yard.

    Half Chicken with Sweet Plantains and Rice/Beans
    Andrew L.

    Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. Had a short wait time to place my order, it was under 5m from when I walked in the door to when I was sitting down and eating. The idealized fast casual experience I had the half chicken with sweet plantains and rice/beans. I overall thought everything was solid. The chicken on its own isn't super flavorful, but their hot sauces are all quite tasty and hit a nice range of spice levels, but are somewhat lacking in diversity of actual flavor. I also like that they have a very wide variety of sides, there's enough where you could feasibly put together a good meal without eating any chicken I think if you're in the mood for bone in chicken and near this spot, they're a reasonably priced option that will have you satisfied. However in a city that has numerous nandos locations, I can't recommend choosing here over nandos. The difference in chicken quality and flavor on the chicken is very noticeable. For those looking for a version of nandos that's more American southern style, this would probably be your jam

    Karaoke Wednesday

    Fun on Wednesday nights for Karaoke! The staff is friendly and full of some great surprises as well! The drinks were great as well, I didn't really eat the food but my buddies did and they both loved it so that's something

    Baracho Borracho Wrap - Rotisserie Chicken Caribbean Cole Slaw

    Ordered for pickup at lunch during work- very good! I had to call before ordering because there is no allergen information online (+they take no notes on the order), and found out they are completely nut free (except for sesame)! I feel like this should be advertised. Wrap- good and filling, only note was that was i did not see nor taste the cheese. Coleslaw- was OK, slightly watery.

    Christmas Pop-Up Drink
    Gabriella C.

    Love the themed pop-up bars at Chicken + Whiskey! The Mistletoe & Mischief and Valentine's Day pop-ups were awesome and the special cocktails and shooters are cute and yummy! The decorations are also so well-done and fun! I enjoy the fact they have events like speed dating and karaoke that makes for a lively bar scene! The most recent visit we had half of the white chicken - which was tender and quite flavorful, along with the Mac 'N Queso which is really good and one of our favorites! The empanadas are also a must-order as well! And you NEED to get the apple pie churros! I will be coming back for these! Overall solid drinks, vibe, and food!

For food, we ordered fried green tomatoes, calamari, the jack smash burger, the crawfish rangoons, and the fig and pig. All were excellent. It was my friends first time eating fried green tomatoes, as well as any sort of Rangoon, and he gave them both the stamp of approval!

The I got the grilled Barramundi and it did not disappoint. The portion was big. We finished with an amazing pecans pie In which they brought out extra whip cream upon request. Highly recommend.

We arrived around midnight Our ID's were checked at the front and were told that last call was at 12:15am despite the bar closing at 1am. It was extremely humid and hot (like even more humid and hot than the outside at that time). All of the tables/booths were closed off, so only bar seating was available. There was only 1 bartender and 1 barkeeper, with the bartender being clearly overwhelmed. He stated that he couldn't make any complicated drinks (likely implying the specialty cocktails), so we just ordered simple classic cocktails including an old fashioned and gin & tonic. I was surprised that last call occurred 45 minutes prior to closing, seeming to apply to both food and drinks (given the bartender's comment). Despite this, I was surprised we were even let in if last call was about to occur. Didn't spend much time here but please see the attached for menu photos.

Fast forward to May 2024--I see a post advertising a preview night showcasing some experimental cocktails they've been working on. I ordered two cocktails which absolutely scratched that "unique cocktail" itch. The first containing Duck Fat Sochu, plum, Vermouth, Bourbon, and Mushroom tincture. It was extremely well balanced and I loved every sip--somewhat similar to a Manhattan but also a refreshing departure. Last, the Sorghum Whiskey is one of the most unique Old Fashioned riffs I've ever had. A very distinct flavor, and again, very well balanced. To top it all off, these unique cocktails were very fairly priced at $14 each. Leighton (the bartender) was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of explaining the menu and providing insight into the ingredients. While the experimental menu is currently only available on Wednesdays / Thursdays, I was excited to hear that they're working on turning the space into a more permanent "cocktail nerd" space--think a separate hidden entrance, seperate menu available on weekends, food pairings, etc. I'll definitely be back!
