    the entrance to the whiskey town
    Dave L.

    Perfect for a one-on-one, Whiskey Town isn't overbearing, a dimly lit but polished neighborhood bar. Sit bar-side for best results: you'll get ready access to the finest bartenders this side of town. You're here for whiskey, so relax with a glass. Feeling excitable? Go for a pickle back shot. While the spicy pickle backs here - and the crowd - are less lively than Whiskey Tavern's, I still love the Whiskey dynasty. Don't forget to play a board game while you're here. If you're on good terms with your playmate, hit up the photo booth for a souvenir; it's couple-friendly, and prints two photos per purchase.

    Chill little bar that I had a fun couple hours at. Great music (90s, top 40, pop, dance), energetic vibe, fun-loving youths. Free popcorn on quieter nights, although "quiet" here is still "crowded" elsewhere. I went on a Thursday night, so it wasn't as "greasy" as it would be on the weekends, greasy being how I describe sleazy fist-pumpers and duck-faces. I don't know if I'd return intentionally, but I'd recommend it on a downtown bar crawl.

    Some lady friends and I rolled up to Whiskey Town the other night after a long evening of work. Highlight #1 - Dance music galore - we were pretty much the 80's go-go dancers of the bar. We stood on the booths and were never asked to get down. Who doesn't love rocking out to the Jackson 5? Props to the DJ. Wouldn't have had a problem dancing on the dance floor but there wasn't room it was so packed. Highlight #2 - Wrangling Coors Lights from actual frat boys. You can purchase a cooler of 6 cans of beer for $25 - sooo easy to share, bonus for everyone really. Whiskey shot and beer combos $7-$10 - yum! Lowlight #1 - Photo booth wasn't working. Lowlight #2 - Right around the stroke of 12:30 it became so unbearably packed you instantly wanted to climb up the wall and open a window. Insight #1 - Booths are the way to go, if you have to go on a busy night get there around 11PM or earlier to claim your spot. The tables are so so so tiny they only hold about 4 drinks but helpful nonetheless. Insight #2 - Bourbon drinkers won't find anything out of the ordinary on their list and prices were about $10 - $13 for the stuff I wanted to drink which I thought was a little high especially for a place serving cans of beer in cozies.

It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

Although the song is about love,…read moreand not dining, I've found that when I have an impeccably perfect time at a restaurant, the subsequent visits just don't measure up to that first time. And this isn't entirely the restaurant's fault: when, as a customer, you've already tasted a good part of the menu, seen the decor, experienced the good service and ambience, it's really hard for future visits to be "as good as the first time." But then there's Parlour Room that dazzles me every time I visit New York. Last Saturday we sat at the same booth as our first visit and were lucky enough to have Jesus as a server again. I was so excited to see him. We had so much food that we had to take a good amount to go, but let me give you the rundown. New things we tried this time: Octopus: I've never had octopus in my life. And I've never wanted to try it. No interest at all. But a Parlour Room suggestion? Okay, sure. I trust it. And guess what? 10/10 Ribs: The presentation was pretentious in the best way, but still, my expectations weren't too high. BUT they rivaled the best soul food restaurant. Fall off the bone and full of flavor. I couldn't believe it. Another 10/10 Mac and cheese: I wasn't enthusiastic about ordering this because I didn't want all the carbs and cheese. Then I couldn't stop eating it. 10/10 The usuals: burger and fries, meatballs, and deviled eggs. Always 10/10, or 5 stars, in Yelp standards. :) The drinks and dessert were unbelievably decadent as well. As usual. What an evening. One more thing...They changed the menu recently, and in my experience, that usually means some sort of disappointment as you discover they've gotten rid of your favorite dish, added uninteresting things, and/or consolidated the offerings in general. But Parlour Room was thoughtful in this regard--unlike anything I've seen before. And what a relief. When I didn't think the menu could get any more perfect, they went and concocted another level of perfection. Oh, I love this place.

Floor to ceiling, wall to wall bottles, an overwhelming sea of whiskey that makes you want to slowly walk the room and take it all in. That is easier said than done. The space is classic New York narrow, with a main customer aisle only about three and a half feet wide and slim alleys on either side for the owner to move through and grant your whiskey wishes. The selection feels endless. Flights, single pours, doubles, rare finds, and approachable favorites, it is all here. What truly makes the experience special is the owner. He is generous with his knowledge, happy to answer questions, and clearly loves sharing what he has curated. One of the best moments, my wife asked for something sweet, wheated, and low proof, over a single cube. He smiled and said the hardest part of that order was the ice. No ice. Everything is served neat. A purist's paradise. Seating is extremely limited and there are no reservations, so get here early. Watching the locals roll in was half the fun. Everyone was greeted like an old friend, which tells you everything you need to know about this place. We wished we had more time to stay and explore, but another reservation pulled us away. This spot deserves an unhurried visit. Come early, order neat, and trust the house.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.
