I showed up early for the second show and was allowed to buy tickets for the second show at the door. I sat down to the first show still in progress. It ended and there was not a second show. When I asked for a refund I was told they had to speak to the musician. The musician said yes to a refund then lectured me about being late to a show I was EARLY for. Then he told me he couldn't give me a full refund for the tickets because of the app he uses...that doesn't make sense.

The drinks are fantastic, especially the craft cocktails. They can get a little pricey, but the quality is there. The staff is always warm and inviting, which keeps me coming back.

"Back in the day," I've come to see a huge variety of shows. I hope they get to that point again with good attendance since this space is pretty large and open. This is a pretty old building pretty much next door to Warnors Theater. It's showing some wear, I felt bad for the old bar top that is really scraped and scuffed (and sticky). but this is still a decent place for shows or to rent for events. It can feel empty if there aren't a lot of people. Our last two visits were to hear music, both times really good - DJ Mr Leonard about a month ago and then The Box playing live with local artists Hope Garcia and Ben Napoles. Both times music was great and I had so much fun dancing .... But there was hardly anyone in attendance! Just crazy. My biggest complaint is that they rarely have any good beers. And the draft beer tastes ... off. The other thing is the drinks are inconsistent. So I stick to simple here; jack and coke, etc. and that's kind of a bummer. *however,* I can get a simple (and large) drink of say, Tanqueray or Courvesior with soda for just $8. I'll take it! Last night they were serving tacos for cheap, which was nice - we bought another round with them so also smart lol. And bartenders have always been friendly, no assholes. Also important, bathrooms have always been clean. Live long and prosper, Frank's Place

I asked about the special ( at 3 PM) and the staff immediately started looking in the refrigerator for spaghetti. I was informed they were out. I wouldn't have wanted it anyway when I discovered that it would likely be cold and refrigerated, and heated in a microwave. Who wants cold spaghetti heated in a microwave at a restaurant? I chose the fish & chips for $18.99 instead. The fish had a noticeable frozen taste. The fries were unremarkable. The cocktail sauce served with the meal was ice cold. This was my second attempt to get a decent meal at Whirlow's since the pandemic. However, the quality has fallen drastically. I'm sorry to say I won't be back.

She was absolutely amazing and working incredibly hard, making drinks for the entire restaurant and bringing out food. I sat there for about an hour and a half watching her nonstop hustle, she truly deserves recognition. Unfortunately, the food wait was extremely long. We waited about an hour and a half before our food finally came out, and by that point we were starving and very frustrated. The wait really took away from what could have been a great experience. If you're looking to grab a few drinks with a great bartender and enjoy the vibe, this is a good spot. Just be prepared for a very long wait if you plan on ordering food.
