Water served in large glass! Great idea
Raymond J.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cask 53 Whiskey Bar, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the ambiance and the vast selection of whiskey lining the shelves. As a whiskey enthusiast, I was thrilled to find a place that truly catered to my taste. The first thing that caught my attention was the impressive wine selection. Despite being a whiskey bar, Cask 53 showcased an extensive collection of wines, ensuring that even non-whiskey drinkers would have plenty of options. This versatility in libations is a definite plus. The outdoor area at Cask 53 was a pleasant surprise. It provided a serene and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a drink and soak up the surroundings. Whether you prefer the lively atmosphere indoors or the more relaxed ambiance outdoors, Cask 53 has you covered. Now, let's talk about the whiskey. The options seemed limitless, and I appreciated the opportunity to explore a variety of flavors/ options and brands. The whiskey was undeniably strong, just the way I like it, and I particularly enjoyed their old-fashioned cocktail. It was expertly crafted, allowing the flavors to shine through with every sip. For sports enthusiasts, Cask 53 is a haven. The abundance of TVs scattered throughout the bar ensured that no game was missed. Whether you're a football fan or a basketball aficionado, you can cheer for your favorite team while indulging in delightful culinary creations. Cleanliness is often overlooked in bars, but Cask 53 went above and beyond in this department. The establishment was spotless, giving off an air of professionalism and care. It's evident that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a clean and inviting space for patrons. Speaking of culinary delights, the sliders at Cask 53 were nothing short of finger-licking good. Bursting with flavor, they left Erika wanting more. The quesadilla was a delightful surprise, perfectly cooked and filled with a delicious combination of ingredients. And let's not forget the burger and sweet potato fries, which were simply amazing. The combination of flavors and the quality of the ingredients made each bite a true pleasure. For a lighter option, I highly recommend trying the shrimp and corn salad. It was packed with flavor and offered a delightful mix of textures. If you're feeling adventurous, add some additional shrimp to the steak salad for an even more satisfying experience. To top off an already exceptional meal, I indulged in the skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream. It was a heavenly combination of warm, gooey cookie and creamy ice cream--a match made in dessert heaven. The music playing in the background perfectly complemented the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. It added to the enjoyable experience, creating a vibrant and energetic environment. In conclusion, Cask 53 Whiskey Bar is a whiskey lover's paradise. With its extensive selection of whiskey, delightful culinary offerings, welcoming outdoor area, and clean surroundings, it ticks all the right boxes. I must take a moment to commend Ryan, our server at Cask 53 Whiskey Bar. Ryan's exceptional service truly enhanced our dining experience. From the moment we were seated, Ryan greeted us with friendliness, His knowledge and passion for the menu and whiskey selection were evident as he guided us through our choices, offering insightful recommendations. Ryan's attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made us feel valued as customers. Their promptness in attending to our needs and ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction was remarkable. We greatly appreciate Ryan's dedication and exceptional service, making our visit to Cask 53 a memorable one. Whether you're a whiskey aficionado or simply looking for a fantastic dining experience, Cask 53 is a must-visit destination in Scottsdale Arizona. Thank you Also, one of the staff (Asian female) she was a great addition but I did not get her name. But hats off to her great service

Wow! Ryan was our server tonight at Cask & he was fantastic! I narrowed my dinner selection and was debating between 2 items and he pointed me in the direction of Isabelle's Chicken. Wowza! It was spectacular... paired nicely with the Bourbon Old Fashioned...and we just had to try the Bourbon Pecan Pie with ice cream. ((I don't even like nuts and it was great as well!)) My husband chose the Weiss biers & Trout. Also, scrumptious!! One Old Fashion was all I had! Good thing I wasn't driving!!!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you Ryan!

The bar is a little loud and there's way too many lights on and open windows for a dinner spot in my opinion. We ordered cocktails east coast sour is amazing I could have drank 10 it was dangerous lol They were offering a signature summer menu and it was excellent. The food and price. $79 each person got and app entrees and side plus dessert. I got crispy calamari fries and my man got meatballs. We shared everything so it's like having the best of the menu! I got the pork chop and mashed potatoes. He got the filet and roasted broccoli with lemon. For dessert I had some butter cake and he had crème brûlée. The service was outstanding and again the food was 10/10.

Food was great. The restaurant was super clean and they had complimentary valet. Service at the restaurant was where I rated them lower. Our waiter, was less than attentive. We told him it was our first time at Bourbon & Bones but he was more focused on regulars and a manager. The servers and support were fantastic. We received a phone call 2 days later, which I thought was a nice touch. We frequent Mastro's, Maple & Ash, Fleming's, and Steak 44. Food wise I put it in my Top 3. Unfortunately. I would put waiter service at the bottom. If you are going for food alone it's a great choice. If it's for service. I would suggest Mastro's or Maple & Ash. They are the best!

We started with a charcuterie board, and it was simply delicious! We also had a couple of drinks and a pizza, which was also delicious. If you're only choosing one topping, I definitely recommend the soppressata. It's spicy, but absolutely delicious! My husband's favorite drink was the Sonoran Old Fashioned. He also tried the Sicilian, but that one wasn't really his cup of tea since it had a strong lemony flavor. I had a couple of drinks myself, and the top-shelf margarita was definitely my favorite. The seating was a little awkward since our table was right underneath the TV and very close to the table next to us. The ambiance was okay, though, and we were still able to have a conversation comfortably without the noise being an issue. Overall, we had a great experience. Great service, delicious food, and some really good drinks!

The moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and seated promptly. Our server, Andrew, was outstanding. He was very attentive and helped me pick out a gin cocktail since I like gin. He completely hit a home run with his recommendation! For food, we started with oysters, shrimp, and the delicious crab dip, all of which were fresh and full of flavor. For our main courses, I had the salmon and my husband ordered the pasta. Both dishes were delicious. I'm not a huge fan of s'mores desserts, but with trusting Andrew's recommendation, this one was hands down the best paired with a Gin Espresso Martini. We completely loved our dining experience and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area again!

Our server, H.S., should in no way shape or form be a server. Her entire approach and demeanor was incredibly caustic. Her attitude towards guests was severely antagonistic. And I hated that she kept reminding us how much time we had left for our table. 1 hour, 45 minutes, 30 minutes... demonstrates this business (dive) doesn't care about guest experience... only turning tables. Several yelp reviewers mentioned how loud it gets. It does get loud, very loud, especially when a certain server cackles from across the room... like a hideous witch. Thought the menu was decent enough but lacked a little. Ordered the pasta... typically a safe bet as this place is in a dank basement and no telling about their food safety. Wrong. Pasta was waaay overcooked. Do they not sample their food? Who allowed this mush to be served?! Overall horrible experience. Will never set foot in Rough Rider again. In fact, my dinner experience was so bad I'm making it a point to tell everyone to avoid this disaster.

The champagne dressing was a little bit more vinegar than I expected so I might try a different dressing next time, but loved the salad itself. Would love if it came with a side of bread or croutons as well. Also appreciate that they have nonalcoholic bubbly, so I'll definitely have to try that next time and go back.

The name really fits because there are several different seating areas, including cozy groupings with soft couches and chairs, traditional dining tables, bar seating and an outdoor patio. There is also a separate larger room that looked great for groups. It's nice enough for a fun night out or date night, but the overall feel is relaxed and casual, so you definitely don't need to dress up. We went for a girls' Happy Hour, specifically because the Wine Wall sounded like so much fun, but one of the things I really liked about The Living Room is that you absolutely don't have to be a wine drinker to enjoy it. They also have a reasonable, well rounded menu and signature drinks. Happy Hour is weekdays from 3-6 PM. The menu offers $2 off wines by the glass, draft beers, signature and well cocktails, as well as the bruschetta and flatbreads. So one person could come for wine and bruschetta, and someone else could enjoy a beer with flatbread, or have something from the regular menu. There are salads, soups, sandwiches, sushi rolls, food from the grillI, and starters. We first shared the Artichoke Spinach Dip. I feel like the dip is a portion for one, as you can see in my photo; it's in a small ramekin, but the chips are fantastic and sharable. I had the "fried rice with steak, chicken and shrimp topped with a fried egg." The "steak" was tiny little pieces, not slices, but the portion of fried rice was very generous and filling. It's a "Starter" that was a "meal" for me. I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the food prices are. Now for the Wine Wall, because this is such a fun part of the experience! You're given a Tasting Card that works somewhat like a debit card for the Wine Wall. You tap the card at the WineStation, choose the wine you want and then select a 1 oz, 3 oz or 6 oz pour. Each wine and pour size has its own price, and every selection is added to your Tasting Card. At the end, the accumulated amount is transferred to your restaurant check as one "Wine Wall" charge. Our server was wonderful about showing us how everything worked. He walked us over to the Wine Wall, explained the system and dispensed our first glasses for us. Later, when he asked if we wanted more, my friend ordered another 3 oz Silver Oak and he brought it right to our table, so we didn't even have to get up again. If the Wine Wall is one of the main reasons for your visit, there are couches and tables right by it. You might want to choose that area if you plan on trying 1 oz. tastes of several wines. We enjoyed two excellent Cabernets from the Wine Wall: Caymus and Silver Oak. I had a 3 oz Caymus, a 3 oz Silver Oak, and my friend had a 6 oz Caymus and 3 oz Silver Oak. Our total Wine Wall charge was $83. We're already looking forward to returning for what will feel like a different experience by having white wine and sushi outdoors on a cool evening. I could definitely see The Living Room becoming an easy choice for a casual Happy Hour or dinner with friends.
