First of all, I would hardly call this a whiskey bar. It's just an extension of Iron Abbey -…read moreanother sports bar. We had a reservation and when we arrived, we were told to head up and the only table was our reserved table. The bartender with blue hair came over, didn't greet us, didn't ask what we wanted to drink, just immediately told us we would have to sit outside because the table we were at was for 6. (We were a party of 2). I explained we had a reservation and she scoffed. So unwelcoming. We got up and left and will not be back.

Basically the top floor of the Iron Abbey with a small bar and seating. I found this part of the…read morebuilding quiet and a nice area to have a drink at the end of the night. The bartenders were really nice. The bottle "cellar" area is full of different styles. I perused the area and if your looking for international beers this is a good place to look. The shelves were stocked with a very wide selection of mostly Belgian, Italian brews with American Micro and German coming in just behind. I've had Spanish brews before, but they actually had in stock six to 10 different Spanish Brews and some Brazilian beer. (Makes sense since a Brazilian Steakhouse is connected to the building) The prices were fair and they even had some exclusive Iron Abbey collab beers with local breweries. It's out of the way for me bottle shop wise, but if I do stop by the area I'll of course check out their stock. I found a couple of nice hard to find Imperial Stout's that now have a nice home. A nice addition to the building.

This is a gem of a spot in West Reading. It was our first time in West Reading in general but it will not be our last and certainly will not be our last of the Distilled Whiskey room. I love everything from the exposed brick and docorations, to the service, menu opitions, delicious food and decent prices! Our server Marissa, was more like our friend. The service was absolutely outstanding. Super friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable about the products whiskey, wine beer and food. Marissa is absolutely delightful!!! I hope she is there when we return. The menus are impressive and are wondeully labeled for pairing options. We tried the 8th ward, bastille sour, orange tumbler and the jack Johnson in regards to the whiskey options. They were all fantastic!! The candied cherries are absolutely delicious I requested extra. The food is delicious as well. You must sample the candied bacon if you are a fan of bacon it literally melts in your mouth. The cheesesteak egg rolls, ranch pretzels and duck fat fries with garlic aoli sauce were the perfect small plates we needed! I also tried a very delicious Italian wine off the menu recommended by Marissa and it was great!! We need to go back again so we can try more an we cannot wait!! I would seriously give this place 10 stars if I could. Definitely a place worth going to, prices are not bad and you will definitely want to make multiple trips to try everything you would want.

We finally got…read moreto visit last night after having dinner at the restaurant you must go through in order to enter the Lounge because it's speakeasy style. We entered through the wall of the restaurant and walked right into the cute bar area of the lounge (3 bar seats). The energy was buzzing and there were others laughing and talking so we slipped right into a table and go comfy. Kayla greeted us minutes after we settled in and brought over menus and water. She let us take our time deciding on cocktails and we were glad she did because the menu is extensive. 2 pages of specialty cocktails and countless pages of over 200 different whiskeys! I decided on a gin based cocktail called a BIJOU and the man decided on an Old Fashioned. Kayla wanted to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks so she shared that we were able to change the type of whiskey and gin if we wanted. Both cocktails were DELICIOUS and absolutely "spirited"! Kayla is such an amazing mixologist and she was also the only employee in the lounge so she was mixing drinks, seating people, answering questions and doing so seamlessly and with a smile. We will definitely be back and will be sure to bring friends anytime they're in town because this place is such a gem.

I sorta don't want to tell people about it because I want this place to myself on weeknights haha. So I walked into the restaurant and just wandered around looking for the lounge.

I'm glad they let non-members like me in. Haha Thanks for a relaxing night!

The highlight of our day was sitting at the bar afterwards with Stephanie, she was funny engaging, and really knew how to make an excellent cocktail.

I can't tell you what an asset Stephanie is to that company.We were expecting to go eat and then maybe go someplace else for a drink, but after our experience with all of the workers as well as I mentioned, Stephanie.

The wait staff informed me that there was NO ROOM for us in the EMPTY seating area, so we were seated next door in the bar area. If you can tell me why there was no room in an empty restaurant for a party who arrived ON TIME, please someone let me know. At any rate the bar area was fun and lively but a bit narrow to navigate. Since it was happy hour, we ordered all of the $6 Snacks and some $8 snack items. OOOK, here we go: Hot chicken slider( you only get 1 folks) very good and had the right amount of toppings 5/5 Pulled pork slider: Very flavorful, juicy, and tender: 5/5 Caesar salad: 5/5 Deviled eggs. Good, but too salty Fried pickles: Good, but too salty Chicken & Andouille Gumbo: This was excellent. The braised chicken thighs were seasoned well and very tender. The pickled red onions really elevated this dish. 5/5 The grilled salmon had a great char and crunch. It was not dry nor over cooked. 5/5 The burger was delicious just as a burger should be and the famous duck fat fries were very crunchy. 5/5 for both Happy hour is really the time to go, but make sure they honor your reservation.

The chicken skin appetizer. OMG. So good. I need to figure out how to make these at home. Had the FTC burger and tots as Mike was nice enough to dissuade me away from the Moo Caliente. Says on the menu "VERY spicy". Mike gave me the Reaper aioli for my tots. Holy hot! But tasty. If you like really spicy, take the Moo Caliente on. Now Mike is the owner, bartender, and designer of all this. I have never had the opportunity to actually speak with the guy I saw on TV but he is so down to earth he acts like just an employee. What an honor to get to hang out and speak with the owner. An incredible experience and you must try Farmer & the Cow if in Wilmington
