We were there on a night with a one-man band who was seriously impressive, and when he wasn't playing, the music on TouchTunes kept the vibe going perfectly. The owners were there, super friendly and down to earth, and you can genuinely feel how much heart and soul they're putting into the place. Copper & Oak has absolutely raised the bar for Lincoln. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

I love a good road trip. The sense of adventure and discovery alongside people I enjoy is one of…read morelife's greatest pleasures. The Whisk has been on our road trip list for awhile, and we finally went with some friends. Greencastle has never been high on my priority list of places to visit, but I'd heard rumors about "The Whisk" being a great place to visit for whisky lovers like myself. And the rumors were true! Walking up to The Whisk...well, that doesn't happen. You have to walk down some stairs that are nondescript, giving the entrance a very old fashioned speakeasy vibe. I immediately fell in love. It feels like a secret club that I'm a part of! The decor is big city speakeasy vibe and lets you know immediately that regardless of shoe you are, you're welcome at the Whisk (see some of the pictures of the decor). We went on a Friday because they have a dinner menu only on Fridays and it changes every week. Tosh and her husband, Joel, are the co-owners and curators of all the food and cocktails. Although there are always small plates on the menu, the full menu complete with dessert was exactly what we wanted. The presentation and flavors of the dinner and drinks felt like being in Chicago or New York, not Greencastle! It was a delightful anachronistic experience. The blackened catfish and The Ghost whisky cocktail were some of the best things I've ingested in a long time. I can't wait to go back!

An unusual dive this, relaxed and inviting lounge area, upstairs gives good views and vibes; we liked the books and tuned in to the live music for most of the quieter songs. The evening got much busier after eleven surprisingly, a crew gathered for poker which was fun to watch. They offered some food but we had already dined. The egg nog cocktail would've further drained my wallet had it still been stocked! Wish they offered deals with the drinks to entice us younger budget based boys, charging more than twenty for a simple bourbon mix is limiting the return of those who can really enjoy the live music volume. Two of my friends did sample cigars. Mentioned they were fantastic and paired well alongside an excellent port. An espresso martini without dairy and a cranberry old fashioned fulfilled more good hopes too. I'll need to save up and perhaps try again!

This place seem to have really good from scratch cooking methods and was able to accommodate our crazy allergies. Even at lunch, there was a lot of mood lighting and it was pretty dark. They had a lot of antiques and interesting furniture and decorations. As a family with young kids, I do wish they didn't see us next to the naked bodies in the artwork. It was very distracting for one of my kiddos during lunch. We were helped pretty quickly, but it did take a long time to get our food. Our food was outstanding. Everything was from scratch and it tasted really good. The baby really enjoyed it. This sweet potato fries are amazing. I was confused why the restaurant was so empty but perhaps it's because it takes so long to get your food? Or possibly Peoria I just can't support a nice restaurant like that. I was disappointed that I couldn't eat off the dinner menu. I was really looking forward to a few of the things on that menu. Perhaps next time we can get takeout so the kids won't get so antsy and try some of the dinner menu. Thank you hearth for a lovely lunch that was safe for our family!
