Really delicious food and a comfy atmosphere! Awesome patio in the summer months! The whole family enjoyed it!

The last three times, we have said we were done with some items. The burgers and fries are not great anymore. The buns are hard and the home cut fries taste like a bunch have been fried up and they are keeping them warm in the back until you order. A few seconds and the fries are too hard to eat. I noticed they were left on everyone's plate around us. Wish they were better, we enjoy the place and the staff are great. The donuts are awesome. The chicken rice soup is really good. Hope they improve the burgers and fries. read more

This may become a new favorite go to place. Cocktails were well crafted. I enjoyed both versions of their ol fashions. The cheese curds were a great way to start. We split the steak sandwich in order to save room for the Whiskey donuts. Outside seating was well heated and comfortable. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back. They don't take reservations so plan for about 30-45 minutes to wait. read more

Great cheese curds! Friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Can't wait for spring to sit out on the patio and enjoy this neighborhood favorite spot. read more

Most awesome hidden gem in Plainfield I had never been my girlfriend took me my first time last week and I went three more times that week it was that good. It has a beautiful quaint patio an amazing menu and the ownership is top-notch read more

Food is always good and service is always friendly. I love sitting outside but the inside is great as well. Nice cozy feel to the olace

Interesting food and large portions. Noisy, and many flies. Fried donuts are too greasy. Outdoor seating is best if weather good.

First time back in a while. They offered free slaw after my last review but I bought the wasabi and this time it was awesome! The Carolina pork rocked as well. This place is perfect for a Sunday afternoon or a weeknight getaway, dinner. And the drinks are made properly. No soda water junk here. All said it was better than the first time! read more

My wife and I arrived around 8:30pm for a friend's birthday celebration. We waited so long that another waitress had to be flagged down to take our drink orders. Once we got our drinks, we all literally almost drank our entire cocktails before the birthday girl had to get up and ask for our waitress again. When we interacted with our waitress she was super nice but obviously not very attentive. A few of us ordered more drinks which took way too much time for us to receive them. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken which was not really flavorful at all. We also ordered the chicken rolls for starters which were ok but not delicious. My wife ordered a salad, I can't remember what kind but it was huge very pretty and she loved it. The restaurant it self is nice, the patio is also nice. My wife and I drinks were good once we got them so we probably would go back for drinks and to try something else on the menu. read more

Great drinks and service but limited menu. It would be nice to see some new food items or specials in rotation. The PlAinfield and Lisle location are both small and usually a wait. read more

We came for dinner. There was a small wait, food was great, service was better and the bourbon selection is amazing!

Great selection of bourbon and very good food! Definitely my go to for awesome bourbon and great food.

Chefs kiss! The best burgers in Plainfield IL just sayin! Literally give this place a go. Their menu has so much and I can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Great drinks and a nice selection of food. Wait staff was prompt and polite, we will be back.

Our favorite spot in downtown .. great drinks, good food good ambiance .good service . Good parking

Well.. to start.. my vegetarian friend didn't read beyond the booze on her cocktail, which came with bacon.. so no big deal we switched drinks. But they still gave us free doughnuts even tho the mistake was our fault. SUPER NICE. Then the server chased us out bc we forgot our hair chalk. That being said... we had a great night and you guys are awesome. read more

Came here with the family for lunch and we damn near licked the plates clean. We all shared the Pork Belly Mac n Cheese and it was everything I hoped it was going to be. Tomato soup was easily Top 3 I've ever had. What took me for cruise down mouth orgasm boulevard was the Chicken and Waffles...oh dear lord that was a little slice of heaven. I wish I lived here, this would be a regular spot with all the incredible whiskey/bourbon selections and craft cocktails. read more

Wonderful food every time! No matter what we've ordered it's been delicious- especially the donuts for dessert. Great outdoor seating too.

We went to NWB today for a family lunch for the first time and food was amazing! We all shared the pork belly Mac & cheese as an app and I would order it again in a heartbeat! I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch which brought me back to childhood with a more gourmet vibe. I do however think the Whiskey Donuts with the whiskey Carmel sauce stole the show. It was so good and so warm right out of the oven, even my picky eater baby ate them! Will for sure be back! read more

Excellent food options. Service was great. Food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend- we were at the Plainfield location.

Food was amazing especially the truffle fries! The staff was super nice, they made sure we were well taken care of . Would definitely recommend this place. Don't get me started on the whiskey donuts with whiskey caramel sauce read more

The food is always delicious at NWB. The ambiance and drink menu are great too! We continue to return!

A bit pricey, but wow what a great place. Amazing whiskeys and bourbons. We had some Pappy 20yr and Eagle Rare 17yr. Both stellar! The food was all absolutely great. This place is a fantastic date night spot, or a prime girls/guys night out venue! read more

Bit pricey. Comparable to Chicago bar prices. But very good drinks and food. Small & close knit. Nice date ambiance. Service is decent-especially sitting at the bar read more

One of the lousiest experiences ever. It took over an hour to get an iced tea, water, 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich, and the special tacos. The grilled cheese had 'some' cheese on it, but was mostly arugula. The food was uninspired. The bar patrons who sat down after us were served appetizers and got their entrees the same time as we did. What should have been an enjoyable Friday lunch turned into an hour and a half that I'll never get back. We won't be back any time soon. read more

Really love the food at this place. The music and service are great as well. Unfortunately my last trip was a little less than 100%. There was an uncomfortable amount of flies swarming our table inside. We were swatting them away while trying to eat and a couple kept landing on our food. It felt a little unsanitary. Understand it can't always be helped with opening and closing doors but it really left us with a bad taste. read more

Seeing other reviews I an disappointed that we had a bad experience. We live about 2 miles from downtown and enjoy frequenting local business's. We meet friends from the area and go dinner on Saturdays and local events like the car show. We had our dinner downtown and decided to walk around and stop at NWB for a drink and check it out. As we entered I noticed a few people siting in the entry waiting for a table. Our wives went to the restroom and I went to the bar and my friend waited for the wives. . The bar was full and I noticed 1 seat and an open area next to it. I stood waiting to order a drink and the people I was next to offered me their seats as they were going to leave as soon as they got the bill. We waited about 10 minuets and the bartender did not even look our way. Finally they got there bill and as we went to sit we were told that the seats were reserved for another party. I mentioned that there was not a wait to be seated sign and that no-one even came to us at all even the bartender . We were told that all employee's were instruct not to even talk to anyone that is not seated. I replied that it would have been nice if there was a sign or someone at the door that could inform us rather than let us just stand there. We told "Not our problem, go somewhere else for a drink" Even the 4 women that offered us their seats were surprised. Probably will not return UPDATE Talked with Jessica and explained the situation we had. She was very friendly and apologized for the confusion. I will try it again and hopefully have a great review read more

Where else can you get a flight of whiskey or bourbon of your choosing? It's absolutely amazing. The food is great. And the service is great also. The ambience is beautiful. Especially in downtown Plainfield. read more

Love this place but their gift card with extra gift card is a scam. Never do they disclose that your additional $60 ( given in $20 increments) can only be used one at a time not combined ... that feels shady and that is a disappointment as this is our favorite restaurant in Plainfield. read more

Very disappointed that they didn't have the donuts. I loved going in there and getting a good old fashioned and some donuts...today I left wishing I didn't skip out on the funnel cake at Cruise Nights. #bringbachthedonuts read more

As a resident of Plainfield I've frequented this restaurant several times and have also enjoyed just sitting at the bar and enjoying a new whiskey. Always the food and service has been above average. However as a classic car owner who attends the Tuesday night cruise nights, there policy of not allowing anyone other than that evenings customers to use their restrooms is very unfriendly to past customers just because they didn't purchase anything on these Tuesday evenings. Management should reconsider their attitudes to all future potential customers. It's never good for any restaurant to alienate people. Mike B. read more

I've probably been here for (or picked up) lunch around 3 times now. Service is always speedy (even if they're busy) and the food is awesome. My one pick up order was ready right on time, and prepared well in the to go boxes (no sad, wilted french fries!). read more

The food was delicious and drinks were perfect! Our waiter John P., was the best we have ever had. He was friendly, knew the menu, and was on top of things. I'm vegetarian and it's always a toss of where we can go, but there were plenty of things to eat. My family said the Next time we go we want to call ahead and make sure John is working, I'm kidding. For the grand finale I told him at the end we were celebrating my daughter's birthday and he brought their signature whiskey donuts with a candle on it. It made my daughter happy, it was the best! read more

The Big J"Er and House Meat and Cheese board was delicious. I also had the 29'er to drink and it was mixed well and delicious.

My drink was poured through smoke!! Lemon oil was lit on fire and the best Old Fashion was made! I don't usually have alcohol when I know I'm going to review a restaurant but this was different. I drank TWO! Our server, Rob, was really great. He needs to learn more about the whisky but he knows what Laphroaig tastes like (Didn't like it) so I didn't hold that against him. The food here is really, REALLY, good. We had the cheese curds to start. They were "squeaky" beer battered goodness. Our mains were the steak sandwich. I had the Brussel sprouts that were crispy and delicious. I will go back JUST for them! The hubs had the same only with cole slaw. He lives for cole slaw! The one he had had jalapenos in it. Not too much heat, just right. Our sandwiches came on foccatia bread with fresh mozz, tomato and spring greens with a horseradish sauce and grilled onions. Superb! We ate outdoors on a beautiful day. It was a great experience all around. What about desert, you ask? DONUTS! Fresh made with a whisky caramel sauce. We ate them all! This place is worth the money especially if you can eat outside. I was intrigued by the name and told Rob that The Next Whisky Bar is also a song by the Doors. He's young so I forgive him for not knowing that. Go eat here. It was amazing! Great experience! read more

Good whiskey selection and the food is decent. Can't complain about it. The chicken and waffles had me all excited but it was way too sweet... all around too sweet. The Mac & Cheese not cheesy enough. But I will return and try some other foods. read more

NWB is a cute little spot in DT Plainfield. They have a wide selection of drinks and TONS of whiskey and virgin, so if you like whiskey, this is the place for you. Their menu is sandwiches and burgers with a few salads. The patio is a great atmosphere! Our waiter was awesome & the bartenders were so knowledgeable and conversational. read more

Matthew was a fantastic server, very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks! The food was delicious! Service was great for being a new restaurant. I will definitely go back again. read more

I'm just not a fan. I've tried this place at least three times to give a fair assessment, but the food is just not impressive. I remain confused on what the food theme is, it's just allot of fried food and service is just ok. I will likely go back just for drinks however because I want to keep small business alive in downtown Plainfield read more

We had an amazing time here!! They have a good selection of Beer! We had the backed marinara goat cheese appetizer which was very tasty! Love the ambience and the service! Will be back soon! read more
