    Do it do it and the cuke and bloom
    James B.

    Overall not bad. The last review said they are still working out the kinks and seems to hold true. Got a couple drinks here and about $16-17 a drink which is a little bit more on the expensive side but it's really the only place in downtown Bradenton that's not a sports or Irish bar and we were finishing with a night cap so we didn't mind. We ordered the do it do it which is kinda like a cherry Cuba libre. It really needed more citrus to help balance out the drink. You have the sweetness of the rum and the sweetness of the cherry cola simple making it closer to a syrup and that extra lime would have helped fix that and probably a spot of soda water. The other drink cuke and bloom which was on the opposite of the spectrum with coming out too tart. Like the other review said as well the saxophone was a little on the loud side and the drinks took a minute but it's expected while getting a bar up and running. Overall 3/5 would recommend to a friend for a fancier cocktail in downtown Bradenton. It's got a little work to do but it's a great start, good vibe, and good space.

    Went to The Whiskey while in Orlando and listennnnn... they did NOT disappoint…read more First off... the burgers? Freaking AMAZING. I had the Salty Pear Burger and babyyyyy... that melted brie had me questioning my entire life . I was over there dipping the fries that came with the burger INTO the melted brie because why not?! Dang gone good. Juicy burger, flavorful, cooked right... just chef's kiss. Now let's talk about those fried sweet potatoes drizzled with cinnamon and homemade caramel... OMG. I was in complete awe. Sweet, salty, crispy, warm... yeahhhh they snapped with those. I love Brussels sprouts too, but I ain't even make it over there because them sweet potatoes had my full undivided attention . Hubby said the Brussels were DELISH though. And the Gin Smash?! Whew . The bartender absolutely DID THAT. Smooth, refreshing, dangerous in the "I might order another one" type of way . They have inside and outside seating plus a nice bar area that gives laid back but still vibey. The energy was easygoing and welcoming... not stiff or pretentious. Our server Monica was AMAZING. Personable, down to earth, attentive... just good people energy. She even brought me a small container of their pimento cheese and LISTENNNN... I cannot make this up. DELISH ‍. Fresh, flavorful, not overly creamy like some places do it. I was dipping EVERYTHING in it. Fries... burger... probably would've dipped my drink if nobody was looking . One thing I also appreciated was seeing the kitchen staff actively cleaning equipment and the grill area. Apparently this is something they regularly do because a friend shared she's witnessed the same thing before too... and honestly? That matters. Cleanliness and consistency will keep people coming back. All I know is I'm thankful I live in Tampa because if I lived closer, my wallet and waistline would both be stressed and I've come too far for that... But... I'll definitely be back

    When we are on this side of town, we always stop in here and have lunch…read more We arrived on Tuesday around 2:30 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Happy hour was just starting or had started, but there wasn't anything on the happy hour menu that stood out to us. They had the Suncreek Brewery Strawberry ale on tap so I had a couple glasses of that. It's perfect for the summer. It's a very light and very refreshing beer. My husband drank Yuengling. We both end up getting a taster of Bourbon later on. My husband went with the six year Willet And really enjoyed it. He said it definitely got better the more that you drank. I opted for something that I've seen in the stores but haven't purchased yet. I was able to try both the dancing panda eight year as well as the dancing panda 10 year. A cheaper bottle of bourbon but definitely good flavor. The 10 was my favorite. For food, I got an order of the S & S sweet potato fries, which comes with a light caramel drizzle. These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband got the garlic Parm wings, and while the crunch was perfect on them.(he ordered them crunchy) -he was not a fan of their garlic Parmesan sauce. It just felt like the garlic, overpowered any of the Parmesan. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and the two bartenders that were working the bar, were excellent and very attentive.
