Yelp has served me so well over the years on finding good spots to eat, and this was no exception. Everything about this place was great. Staff. Food. Atmosphere. Drinks. Decor. Chucky Doll. Harry Potter on the TV THIS WAS MY KIND OF PLACE! I had a great local IPA and C had a bloody. Both of which were really tasty. C got that bad ass Rueben shown in my pics. Talk about an epic sandwich!! Holy crap it was good. May have been the best corned beef I have ever had! I could go on and on about the fries as well! Yum! I got the crispy Korean style wings. I forget the actual name, that might have been it, but I do remember how much I loved them. Crunchy, sweet, spicy, sticky, goodness!! If I even get within a hundred miles of this place, you better believe I will be right back at this bar! I love you State Lunch! '26 - 9

Tonight we had wonderful live music by a band called Trio Con Brio, and they were playing a Grateful Dead song when we were heading out. It was very busy. Lots of delicious little plates of food coming over from next door at the Liberal Cup. My chocolate martini, called the "I NEED CHOCOLATE NOW" was strrrooonggggg. But omg so tasty! Yum. I'm not a regular drinker at all, but I was the first one to finish my drink. Oops. They asked if I wanted a second one. I probably wouldn't have been able to find the front door if I did. Haha. The atmosphere in here is so sweet, pine boughs, ambient lighting, floating candles (think Hogwarts!), exposed beams. Lovely. Very sweet.

We were seated promptly and our drink orders went right in while we looked at the menu. I had never been here before, we asked what the server recommends. She was spot on. We started with a round of pulled pork nachos for the table. I went with shrimp tacos (aioli on the side as I was worried about spice level). Others at the table had the Reuben, chicken tacos, and house chili. Our drinks came out fast, the food was not far behind, our eyes were met with generous portions nicely garnished. The pulled pork nachos were exactly what we expected southerwestern-y cumin-y deliciousness assisted by sour cream, and fresh salsa goodness everything was perfectly seasoned. My shrimp tacos came with lime, avocado, and purple cabbage with spicy aioli on the side. The meaty shrimp with the crisp cabbage were all mellowed together by the creamy avocado. I would eat them for days. Everyone in my party cleaned their plates! The atmosphere is country-chic. There is a saloon decor vibe but it's also hipster steam punk meets old west. The main dining area is clean, spacious and was decorated for the holiday. By the time we left the dining room was a little over half capacity with folks peppered around the bar. It wasn't too noisy, there is country music in the background, but it was fine for conversation. The overall vibe is fun, light, and hospitable, plus there was a pinch of yule-time joy in the air. There is a front and rear entrance, parking is on the street. Around the back of downtown are assorted free parking lots there is also a free parking garage nearby as well, so parking is not a problem. Downtown Augusta is always dolled up this time of year with twinkling lights, snowmen, and such. I recommend The Whiskey Kitchen. Whether you need a space for a working lunch - there is Wi-Fi- looking for a special gathering for an occasion make The Whiskey Kitchen your destination!

I would love to know where they get the decor for this place. I'd imagine a lot of flea markets (fabulous ones)? It's hard to pick my favorite decor item because there are so many, but it's somewhere between the chairs shaped like hands and the giant silver octopus tentacle under the T.V. Ooo and the corner with all the clowns! Drinks are strong and cheap. The bartenders are friendly. There's a patio, but it's a bit small. There are plenty of comfy chairs/couches. They have live music pretty often, so if that's your thing, you'll be happy there on weekend nights. The only thing is the space is kind of small for live music, so it can get really loud. This is an excellent chill option if you're in Hallowell and want to skip bars that tend to get a bit fratty like The Quarry Taproom. Highly recommend!
