Our last stop of the night after walking Legacy West. I thought we were done drinking but the next thing I know the wife is at the bar chatting up the bartender. She wanted to recreate a Mezcal drink that was phenomenal at Old Hickory in Gaylord hotel. From our description, the bartender tried her best to duplicate what we had. She came close, and we appreciated the effort, but we will have to return to Old Hickory to have it again. But the Mezcal drinks we had at Whiskey Moon were very good and we enjoyed them as a nightcap. The bar is located in the lounge of the Renaissance hotel. It is laid out nicely so there is ample seating at the bar or in the lounge. Service was friendly and professional. It's a bit pricey but I guess that is what vacations are for. read more

Whiskey Moon - Mezcal with bitters - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

The Legacy West area is a popular place with quality, upscale restaurants and bars. Whiskey Moon is a hidden gem located inside the renaissance hotel that eclipses many nearby with their name on the doir. They have a tasty menu of light, medium priced Korean/Texan fusion cuisine. And a great selection of signature craft cocktails. My favorite is the old fashioned. Often this drink can vary depending on who makes it but not here. I find the quality consistent and probably the best taste in the entire area. Don't miss their daily 5:00 happy hour ritual when they sound the gong and pass out free samples! Service has always been prompt with competent, attentive staff. read more

Long Island tea was excellent! And pecan old Fashioned great! I will definitely comeback

My wife and I stayed at the hotel over the weekend. we Came each night to whisky Moon and hung out before lunch and going out. the Customer service at this place is absolutely terrible! The staff were more focused on talking to each other then wanting to take care of the guest,; moreover , when you ask them for recommendations or a question they roll there eyes or act as your a burden. I understand there are not servers everyday and or, at all times, but when there clearly were we were never served; and we were told we should always go to the bar. The staff were extremely rude and dismissive. read more

Went to whiskey Moon for a cocktail and appetizers while staying in the hotel. At 5 o'clock on a Saturday . Waited 30 minutes before we left without being offered any service. two employees at the bar chitchatting and didn't bother to offer a meno or cocktail. Lobby bar layout is odd. You walk right past a breakfast buffer at 5 pm that is not set up on your way to the lobby bar. Unappealing- hide back of house. read more

The food was very good and the server was nice, nice looking environment the wait was pretty lengthy considering there was only two people being served, and I had to get my dessert to go so I wouldn't miss my shuttle when I had given myself an hour to eat. read more

Whiskey Moon - Topo Chico - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

Lets be clear...you are here because you are trapped in Legacy West. Seating is generally uncomfortable. Service is slow and mediocre if not confused. Ask for "a peaty whiskey" and we got a confused answer as she said "Pete?" in return and then told us to just look at the bottles behind her and pick something. The place is called "Whiskey Moon"!!! At least they had (and offered) the large artisanal ice cube for the pour. It's even more odd as the hotel this bar is in is rather fantastic...so there's a gap somewhere at the logistics. They do serve food here till almost closing...so if you need a late night bite, they can accommodate. read more

I came here last night for a late snack with some friends. Been here several times, it's a good lounge to hang out in and I must say, they make excellent Old Fashioneds. This is a fun place and had live music going on when we arrived. It's inside the Renaissance hotel and not very visible from the street. The place has dim lighting and comfortable seating. Several TVs and interesting, yet eye pleasing decor. I ordered the meatballs and a beef yakitori dish. Very tasty and came out quickly. Our server was Liz, she was excellent, very attentive and quick. Always with a smile and very polite. our drinks and food were handled very well. There was another lady as well, not so nice, but Liz more than made up for that. I recommend this place and will of course be back. Did I mention they make excellent Old Fashioneds? read more

Whiskey Moon - Inside the bar. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

What a fabulous bar in a fantastic hotel. I was able to attend the weekday Punch Ceremony which is so fun. The Bartender concocts a fun complimentary punch which is served promptly at 6pm and they bring out a gong (which I got to ring, by the way, I was feeling FANCY. Bartenders & staff were all very friendly & helpful during my stay. I had no problems with the staff at all, contrary to the other reviews. Loved the ambiance of the bar overall. The weather was bad so I wasn't able to go out on the patio right off the bar but it looks like it would be amazing in great weather. read more

We stopped here for a drink in one of our bar hop runs. The ambience is nice and I've asked to make a specialty drink and it came out very good and tasty. Our bartender wasn't really friendly, I saw her roll her eyes couple times after she got orders from people... I don't know if she just had a bad day or what, but it felt and looked rude and inappropriate, especially when you work at the bar... so I'll give it a benefit of a doubt that it's not always like that at this bar :) read more

I have to say, that this bar received a higher rating because of the bartender, Amanda. She was fantastic. As a recent trained sommelier, she was knowledgeable and willing to go through a few different wine options for me to try. I ended up going for an Orin swift wine that was part of the "premium" selection. The con, I didn't realize you only get a 5oz pour instead of 6oz - I wish I would have known that. I ordered the Caesar salad with the grilled shrimp (Amanda recommended me going with the shrimp as my added protein), and wow the shrimp were amazing. The con of the salad was they gave it to you in-chopped. So with extra effort I had to sit and cut the large pieces of lettuce so I could consume my salad, which I was not happy about. I also ordered the chocolate mousse cake for dessert which I was very disappointed in. Amanda suggested I try the pies instead, but craving chocolate I opted for the cake. I should have listened to Amanda! The cake was not very moist and was just bland. Not what I was looking for. The bar ambience was great and inviting. Definitely a good spot to come to and unwind after a long day. read more

Out of everything. Super crowded and we waited almost 30 min before even being acknowledged. I asked for 3 drinks and before finally Finding something that had available. Absolutely ridiculous. Bartender was rude. Trying to enjoy our one night away and this place was pointless. read more

Stormy was absolutely AMAZING! Extremely personable! She made fantastic beverage recommendations and her service was impeccable! Thank you Stormy for a memorable experience at Whiskey Moon! read more

Drinks were just okay. Definitely not worth the price. Service was good, but slow. Much better whiskey bars around especially for the price.

The servers were more intent on keeping each other company vs doing their job. Impressive ambiance, great happy hour but will not be coming back. Only a few people in the bar with an abundance of servers and still no service. read more

Whiskey Moon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

GREAT AMBIANCE and DECOR! Great Drink Selections although we were never given a Drink Menu! We walked into the Bar area, no Greeting. We were going to sit at a side table but realized quickly that server wasn't going to come around from the Bar to serve us, mind you there were 4 people in the entire bar. Sat at the Bar still no greeting but I guess willing to serve us. Enjoyed a couple of Double Scotch Whiskys and a Crudite. Overall this place could be one of the very best places to enjoy a Night Cap in Plano if they focused more on the Service. Also some Live Music would really make it memorable. read more

Whiskey Moon is the hotel bar for the Renaissance hotel at Legacy West. However, they do have an extensive and growing whiskey selection. Service was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of their whiskey brands and varieties. They have also have a about a dozen "signature" cocktails. Most drinks will run you $10-15 and they have a good pour. Parking is free if you self-park in the hotel garage. The bar will validate. The entrance from the garage is super confusing though- don't get on the elevator! The back entrance to the hotel is on the G1 level through the unmarked double brown doors that look like they are service or storage doors. read more

New area and swanky outdoor mall, trendy with suits filling up the space at HH . Nice decor and good drinks. Worth a visit to check it out. read more

I really loved this hotel, which makes writing this review bittersweet. First time I go to the bar I ask for a bar menu and nothing shows up. So I give up on waiting, and order two random draft beers and a water. I leave a $5 on the counter and an ipad shows up to look at drinks. As I'm browsing the drinks I look away from the ipad, my $5 tip is very quickly taken by the bartender along with the ipad. Hmmm, that's ironic how some service is slow, but taking a tip is quite rapid. I go to the bar a 2nd time. I order four waters and a glass of Chardonnay. The bar tender rapidly pours the waters. Someone in the large private party hits the "Gong" in the bar area, it's impressive. The bar tender tells me that the "Gong" means open bar is now closed. I urge him to fulfill my wine order since it was placed prior to the "Gong". He disagrees and adds a new excuse that the wine I ordered is expensive and he can't give me that. Meanwhile, my $5 tip rapidly disappeared into his pocket, again. This is where a good bar tender would have told me that my wine wasn't included before any drinks were made, being transparent. I argue with him about his lack of clarity on his excuses, and point out that he was more than happy to grab the tip I left for the drinks I ordered but didn't fulfill. He then threw it out on the bar for me to take. He spoke rather hostile. I left the $5. My husband asked the manager about this and she told him that the "Gong" did not mean the open bar was closed, but it was last call. She was not sincere in her apologies for her bartender's behavior. I won't be going to Whiskey Moon again. read more

Drinks, food, and style is what gets this 5 stars. Service was good but not great. It's new though, so I assume the service flaws are temporary. read more

Best spot for quick cocktails and amazing ambiance. I went for my 30th and felt extremely taken care of!

Only gave one star b/c service was completely unacceptable. No one else sittig at the bar and it still took over 10 minutes to get service. Bartenders were so occupied complaining and telling each other stories they could not serve. Asked for a menu... Still waiting. Gorgeous bar. But most likely will not return. Its ashamed that lack of service is acceptable here. read more

Best Old Fashioned around! Presentation and smoothness of the drink is top notch! Spherical ice cube, fresh orange peel, and smoked pecan!

Awesome venue, had a blast with the staff here. They took care of me and my date. Definitely going back for some drinks and food.

I would have given them zero stars; I am a bartender, and I can tell you the drinks are VERY watered down and expensive for all the ice you get. They charged me for someone else's drinks. I got an email from management saying the tab was correct. I wrote back and explained it was not and I was happy to pay for the drinks we got. This was in Dec and to this date have not gotten a response. BAD SERVICE, BAD DRINKS, BAD ATTITUDE!! read more

The setting is very comfortable. The music was so loud that we asked it be turned down. Pretty sure my cough medicine has more alcohol than my martini. Disappointed since this is New Years Eve read more

I'm only giving this two stars because of the nice lady from the hotel lobby and the brussels sprouts! My colleague and I asked the lobby lady if she recommended this place or the Asian Fusion place. She said the Asian Fusion place was only serving breakfast, so she recommended Whiskey Moon. She seated us and after listening to an obnoxious gong several times, a server finally came and handed us each a menu. He disappeared and finally came back after a bit of a wait. I asked for a cocktail from the menu and my friend asked for a wine list. Inexplicably, he took her regular menu away and brought a coaster with a QR code as a wine menu. Then he walked away again to make my drink. After a looooong wait, he came back with my drink, took her wine order and took away the OTHER menu. We asked at that time if we could order Brussels sprouts.....he came back after about 15 minutes with her wine then disappeared again!! We waived him down and asked if we could order meals. We each ordered Steak and Frites....mine medium and her's medium rare. and then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. Now we were out of drinks and had no food. Eventually the nice lady from the lobby who seated us came and asked if we had ordered food. We said yes, and she said she would go find out where it was. A little bit later, another guy plopped down the sprouts and two minutes later, our food. No offer of another drink or an ask if we needed anything else. To sum it up, I had to get up and go to the bar twice....for water and ketchup, then for second cocktails. My steak verged on indelibly tough, and my friend's was almost raw. The service was awful except for the lobby lady. The bill was $139 without the tip and not at all worth it (even for a hotel restaurant). Just not a good experience!! read more

Awesome bar. Great selection of whiskey (obviously), and great ambiance. Always comfortable feeling including during the pandemic.

Worst customer service I have ever received. The bartender was very passive aggressive and rude. Will not be returning.

This place is super comfortable and welcoming. This may sound weird but it always smells great, and is super clean. Drinks are top notch with a great selection of whiskey. Not cheap but what do you expect in legacy west?! read more

Tried their barrel aged old fashion which was too sweet. And then the rebirth which had rye, Madeira, Laphroaig, cognac, and orange bitters. The flavors didn't blend well at all. Very disappointed. read more

Great whiskey selection but they added ten dollars to my tip without my consent. It's a shame since I tipped over 20%. Totally ruined my impression of the place. read more

The manager at whiskey moon is extremely nice and accommodating. He picks up and chips in when busy and knows how to take care of his guests. A perfect night for a perfect vacation. Excellent wine selection, great cocktails, and some cheap buds if you're just wanting to chill out. Don't miss this place. read more

We stopped in last night in hopes of ordering a good after-dinner drink. The male bartender handed me an iPad that had a list of their whiskeys and bourbons. I chose the Yamazaki Single 12 Year Whiskey priced at $20/pour and was told by the female bartender that they did not have it. She said if I could see it on the shelf or find it, that she would serve it to me. I told her that I did not work there! She then told me that they only have about half of the items that are listed on their iPad. Why in the world would you list something that you do not have to sell??? Is it too difficult to update your whiskey and bourbon list on the iPad to reflect what you actually have in stock??? The male bartender suggested an alternative Japanese whiskey and after my husband asked him the price he replied $90/pour!!! Seriously?! That was over four times the price of my original selection that they did not have. We walked out and will not return. read more

Wow!!! What a find!! Traveling from Louisville, KY and stumbled on to a hidden gem of bourbons. They have an excellent list and several that are very hard to find. Weller 12, Weller Antique, Elmer T Lee, Stagg Jr, and the list goes on. The bartenders Amanda and Zach were awesome and I had a blast tasting and talking bourbon with them. A must stop if you are wanting to taste some elusive bourbons. read more

I'm am not sure about the actual hotel facilities, but we came here for some drinks after dining next door. The bar was not particularly busy for a Saturday nite. I gotta tell ya tho, our man-bunned waiter Mel had an attitude bigger than life and an ego to match!! We just arrived and were trying to situate ourselves when he asked for our drink order. When we were deciding, he started to count down. Said 5,4,3,2,1 ok you had your chance and then walked his sorry butt away!! Dumbfounded, we just had a couple people order from the bar and bring them back to our spot. It was our friend's birthday, so we wanted to get some shots. While on our way to the bar to reorder, good ole Mel crossed our path. We inquired if we should order with him and he said he would get to it in awhile. I asked when that would be, he said that he didn't work for us and that he could ask us to leave at anytime if he wanted to. Crazy huh? I would totally understand his position if we were a young millennial group, but in our group of 10, more than half are close to 50 or older! Not a loud, raucous group. I find this type of employee reprehensible and unacceptable. Hoping that the management reads this and educates this "dude" in customer service guidelines. read more

Great selection of whiskys. 17 Japanese whiskys, 38 scotches, 6 Texas whiskys, 50 bourbons, and 22 Rye whiskys. Great areas to sit and enjoy your whisky and conversation. read more
