    Mug club at Central Normal Tap

    This place is so cool. An unexpected spot filled with great food and friendly people. I ordered a beer and loaded waffle fries and they were so good! We will definitely be back!

    Lots of local craft beer options

    What a great spot for the Danville community! It's a really laid back and welcoming little pub with a great selection of local craft beer and spirits. My husband and I visited around 6PM on a Saturday night and the place quickly filled up. Their signature cocktail looks to be some kind of smoked drink with a really cool presentation. There is also a limited food menu that we didn't try this time. But we will definitely be back again. Danville is lucky to have such a charming little bar in its downtown area.

    Stumbled upon this place after having dinner next door, had no idea it existed! This is definitely a hidden gem!! Went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy, we got the last two spots at the bar. The bartender was friendly, on it, and made great drinks! He was the only worker too, and for the place to be full, he was awesome with service. The drinks were great and the vibe was amazing! If we lived closer, we would most likely be regulars here. We definitely will be back and suggest you check it out too!

I highly recommend the french fries dipped in ranch it's a must!!! husband had the tenderloin. It was cooked to perfection and the onion rings,They aren't skimpy on and the breading stayed on all of them. Some Saturdays they have live music inside or even on the patio. If it's nice outside, they have plenty of parking available. I highly recommend this establishment..

    I love a good road trip. The sense of adventure and discovery alongside people I enjoy is one of…read morelife's greatest pleasures. The Whisk has been on our road trip list for awhile, and we finally went with some friends. Greencastle has never been high on my priority list of places to visit, but I'd heard rumors about "The Whisk" being a great place to visit for whisky lovers like myself. And the rumors were true! Walking up to The Whisk...well, that doesn't happen. You have to walk down some stairs that are nondescript, giving the entrance a very old fashioned speakeasy vibe. I immediately fell in love. It feels like a secret club that I'm a part of! The decor is big city speakeasy vibe and lets you know immediately that regardless of shoe you are, you're welcome at the Whisk (see some of the pictures of the decor). We went on a Friday because they have a dinner menu only on Fridays and it changes every week. Tosh and her husband, Joel, are the co-owners and curators of all the food and cocktails. Although there are always small plates on the menu, the full menu complete with dessert was exactly what we wanted. The presentation and flavors of the dinner and drinks felt like being in Chicago or New York, not Greencastle! It was a delightful anachronistic experience. The blackened catfish and The Ghost whisky cocktail were some of the best things I've ingested in a long time. I can't wait to go back!

    Food is fantastic and interesting. Not your run-of-the-mill restaurant with the same food over and…read moreover. Staff and owners are super service-oriented. Wonderful patio. Highly recommend

The rooftop is a hidden gem, lovely if it's not too hot to sit outside. I was with a group and we got to sample a number of menu items. The shrimp cocktail with little pops of mustard seed was great, as were the short rib egg rolls. Also enjoyed the sirloin with chimichurri and the sesame-crusted seared tuna. Do not miss the "Sticky Foot" dessert - a slab of DELICIOUS date bread pudding with caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream and popcorn on top. YUM.

Our server Emily was cheerful and informative. A parking garage across the street served us well for dining at this restaurant and attending an event at Hendricks Live across the street. The shrimp cocktail appetizer featured fresh large shrimp with dollops of horseradish on the plate and a nice sauce. I enjoyed the steak frites entree, a generous portion of steak perfectly cooked, served with a delicious broccolini and tasty fries. My sister ordered the chicken marsala and noted that she would have liked more sauce, and the truffle potatoes were delicious. My brother said his huge pork chop was perfect, and my sister in-law recommended the sirloin steak. We had reservations and were seated at a high top table, which is not my preferred way to dine but the restaurant was full so we didn't ask to be moved. We had a bit of a wait for our entrees and chalked that up to it being Saturday night. There is a separate bar area and rooftop dining with igloos available.

You enter through a speakeasy type door. I'm not a huge fan of these but it is fine. Inside there is a decent sized bar and a mixture of different table sizes. When our group went in person the service was just horrible. The saving grace was that the food was outstanding. Another night I just did pickup. Again the food (wings and fries) was outstanding. The food was ready a little bit after the projected time, but not egregiously so. So overall great food, decent atmosphere, but the service could be better. This seems to be a consistent complaint across reviews, so hopefully the managers/owners are paying attention and can improve things.

This could end up being a deadly mistake. Think twice if you have food allergies before dining here.
