As we sipped, he talked about the different varieties of espresso martinis he has made and I hope to come back again to try another. Super attentive and very funny but not in a overbearing way. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND EXCELLENT COCKTAILS! His beer recommendations were on point too, the only thing missing was food...he also gave me a cold brew with the perfect amount of sweetness! Plus his hair is absolutely gorgeous

Recently I tried the "Baby Metal" (Oka Yuzu Japanese Vodka, Kingfisher Sochu, Umenoyado Yuzushu Sake, Giffard Framboise, Honey, Lime) which is delicious and refreshing. Pricing is pretty average for most upscale cocktail bars in the area. Service is friendly and you order at the bar. There are plenty of tables available and some bar seating. It does get pretty busy after shows at the Wellmont Theater next door or after dinner on a Friday/Saturday night. Looking forward to my next visit!

Brunch at The Whiskey Priest is what happens when Sunday decides to be fun instead of responsible…read more The vibe walking in? Lively, upbeat, and just the right amount of "we earned this." It's got that cool gastro-pub feel where you can sip a cocktail at noon and no one judges you, in fact, they encourage it. Now let's talk about the real star of the show: the Breakfast Burrtios! We ordered them, and let me tell you, this wasn't some dainty little wrap. This was a full on, two hands required, no talking for five minutes situation. Packed with all the breakfast essentials and wrapped up like a gift to humanity, it was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what brunch dreams are made of. Every bite basically said, "You made the right decision today." The rest of the menu has all the brunch classics with a fun twist, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked like it deserved its own photoshoot. The drinks were flowing, the crowd was buzzing, and the whole place had that contagious weekend energy. If you're looking for a brunch spot in Belleville that delivers great food, good vibes, and a breakfast burrito that might require a post meal nap, The Whiskey Priest is your place. Just come hungry and maybe wear stretchy pants! Haha!

I stopped in Bar Franco for drink before dinner nearby. It was literally just when they opened but…read moreeverything was ready to go and Alex the bartender seemed to already have some creative ideas in mind! He asked what I like. I told him the spirits and style(s) I prefer. Then I simply said "surprise me". His creation was a take on the Paper Plane, a bit less tart and perfect for a broiling hot day outside. Two other dinners guests joined me soon after and had equally impressive drinks. In fact, the entire dinner party returned at the end of the night so everyone could have their own experience! The space is small, but the atmosphere is very intentional and there is a great, low seating area in the front window that can fit several people comfortably. That's where we sat later as a group. If you've been meaning to try this place too, make it a priority next time you are downtown! Note: Bar Franco also has a food menu connected to the restaurant next door.

A solid spot for drinks and atmosphere, but the food was a mixed bag on this visit…read more The ambiance is lively and inviting, making it a great space to unwind, and our server was attentive and friendly throughout the night. The bar program is definitely the highlight--both the Mediterranean Mule and the Pretty in Pink were well-crafted, balanced, and delicious. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't quite hit the mark. We ordered the Old Bay chips, but they arrived noticeably overcooked and burnt, leaving a harsh, bitter aftertaste that made them tough to finish. It's a great place to drop in for a cocktail and enjoy the vibe, but tighter quality control coming out of the kitchen would easily take this from an average visit to a great one.

Posting here too because it seems like the reviews we left on Google are being taken down?…read more I never write negative reviews. My philosophy is that if something happened that needs the attention of a manager or owner, do so in the moment so something can be done then and there. However, speaking with the owner about his did not solve anything. If anything, it made one fact irrevocably clear, The Rock is not a safe space. For ANYONE. Period. Full stop. The context: this past weekend, on Saturday 8/8/26, my partner, friends, and I were targeted and verbally harassed with homophobic slurs by a man at the bar. What made it so much worse was that the owner, Brian, was standing with the man (later identified as Rich) and woman with dark hair and arm tattoos (who Brian says he has "no idea who we are talking about," which is weird because they DEFINITELY knew each other and were enjoying each others company, the three of them.) Brian, the owner, stood there and did absolutely nothing. Not a word was said to his friend or the woman. He stood there and watched as a group of PAYING customers were being harassed. He watched his patrons get humiliated and chose his friends over his business. We contact the owner, Brian, and he said that he would call us back on MONDAY to "make it right." Well, it is now Monday and we received a non-apology. He said he had spoken to Rich the next day. When asked why Brian didn't do anything in the moment, he said "I know my friend and when he's drunk like that I can't." So again, he chooses his own comfort instead of standing up for his paying guests. When asked why he supported his homophobic friend, he said, "he's not homophobic! His wife is bi!" Outing his friend's wife was not the apology I was expecting to get, but that's what we got. Without taking ANY accountability, he insisted that The Rock isn't "that" type of place. I keep thinking about how easily it could have been anyone else. Someone smaller. Someone younger who didn't have anyone else around with them. What if his friend had had more to drink? What was to stop him from doing more? Definitely not the owner. Now, if you own a business, the BAREST of minimums is to make sure your guests are safe. Brian failed at that completely, and I don't want anyone else to find th out the hard way. The Rock is NOT safe for anyone.

Always looking for places for football Sunday and this was a great option…read more We were greeted by a very friendly host, and several patrons enjoying the game. My friends and I chose several different appetizers and a burger which we ordered after sometime and were all great. We had mixed reviews with our drinks but weren't bad overall. The bar was lively with several televisions for you to be able to watch whichever team you were rooting for. We did get two severs as we had switched tables which one was much more friendlier than the other. Overall I would return and recommend especially for sports events.

The reason I give it 3 stars is because I don't think they've ever gotten my food order 100% right. They make a tasty burger, but they always forget at least one requested topping on the burger. The menu says "lettuce, tomato, and onion on request" and even though I always request all three, I never get all three. If I ask for a different kind of cheese, I get American anyway. A lot of the time my receipt will have all of my requests on it, but the burger doesn't match. Also, they seem to have downgraded their onion rings. The old ones were awesome and were a major selling point for me as an onion ring enjoyer. The new onion rings remind me of Burger King. Overall solid spot with a nice Irish pub vibe. Waitresses are mostly cool and friendly.

It is definitely loud inside. We had a table but still had to keep going to the bar for drinks. They did bring the food out, but they never came back to clear the paper plates or check on us. Even after we left and other people sat where we were, the dirty paper plates and napkins were still on the table. It took about 40 minutes for the burger. Fries were also ordered. They were thick and kind of dry even though they were covered in cheese. I would pass on those next time. The meat of the burger was pretty good. The cheese was melted on the bun, not the burger. They were busy and looked to have only 2 bartenders so there was some waiting for drinks etc.
