    Guasacaca Chips
    Anita W.

    From the kitchen to the bar, service was friendly, and informative. Very helpful with knowing what each dish consisted of. All great sides to chose from. Flavor was wonderful. Loved the Amarillo sauce to drip the chicken in Clean dining area, plenty seating. Love the open garage like doors to open on a nice day. The bar is located on the connected building next door. Bar service was quick and friendly

    Chicken + Whiskey  Outside

    Chicken + Whiskey, what a cute little gem nestled in Navy Yard. Not sure if this chain will last. The menu is limited and the food is just okay. It's good but not a place that one thinks, Yummers let's go to Chicken and Whiskey. There is just too much competition food wise in the area. Customer service is fantastic! I'll give them that. Ambiance is casual. Parking is a nightmare. Especially on game days. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return. Glad I did try!

    1/4 Chicken White
    Deb W.

    Checked this spot out after work and the food was delicious but the drinks were amazing! I enjoyed the food although my 1/4 was a small portion for me but everything was reasonably priced. I recommend this spot for cleanliness, outdoor seating, and delicious food!

    Ordered takeout here and the food was extremely good. The white meat was moist and seasoned so well. Update 2: Came here again and the food was as good as the first time.

    Chicken + Whiskey is such a chill, low-key gem serving up some seriously good Peruvian food. Their rotisserie chicken, fried chicken salad, La Comadre, and black beans all hit the spot--flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I've even ordered catering from here for events, and it was a huge hit with friends! Beyond the food, the vibe here is great. The service is good. Quick and easy. The 'whiskey' side of the restaurant is a bar with live music, adding to the energy. Whether you're grabbing a casual meal or hanging out with friends over drinks, this place delivers. Definitely a go-to spot!

    The chicken is so amazing and the aii Amarillo sauce. I ordered roasted veges and for some reason they were burn-your-mouth-off spicy??? I did not expect that and couldn't eat them. The arroz chaufa is delicious but be advised: has meat in it. I think they should label spicy, vegan, and vegetarian better and more clearly on their menu. The old fashioned for $8 was a good deal too. Nice outdoor seating. I will be back for sure.

    I have been trying to check out chicken & whiskey for a while. This place is located in the navy yard area and is right near nationals park. When you arrive if you go to the left you are in the bar area and if you go to the right is where the restaurant is. For two people I recommend the whole chicken plus a couple of sides. The staff will provide their recommendations as well. The most flavorful item were the beans and the chicken. However I did not like the corn as it was a cold dish and being from texas street corn is a hot dish. The atmosphere is cool and the price point for this much food is affordable.

    Messy but amazing

    Best arepa I've had in DC, and the people who work there are lovely. So lucky and happy we have them in Navy Yard.

    Half Chicken with Sweet Plantains and Rice/Beans
    Andrew L.

    Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. Had a short wait time to place my order, it was under 5m from when I walked in the door to when I was sitting down and eating. The idealized fast casual experience I had the half chicken with sweet plantains and rice/beans. I overall thought everything was solid. The chicken on its own isn't super flavorful, but their hot sauces are all quite tasty and hit a nice range of spice levels, but are somewhat lacking in diversity of actual flavor. I also like that they have a very wide variety of sides, there's enough where you could feasibly put together a good meal without eating any chicken I think if you're in the mood for bone in chicken and near this spot, they're a reasonably priced option that will have you satisfied. However in a city that has numerous nandos locations, I can't recommend choosing here over nandos. The difference in chicken quality and flavor on the chicken is very noticeable. For those looking for a version of nandos that's more American southern style, this would probably be your jam

    Baracho Borracho Wrap - Rotisserie Chicken Caribbean Cole Slaw

    Ordered for pickup at lunch during work- very good! I had to call before ordering because there is no allergen information online (+they take no notes on the order), and found out they are completely nut free (except for sesame)! I feel like this should be advertised. Wrap- good and filling, only note was that was i did not see nor taste the cheese. Coleslaw- was OK, slightly watery.

    Karaoke Wednesday

    Fun on Wednesday nights for Karaoke! The staff is friendly and full of some great surprises as well! The drinks were great as well, I didn't really eat the food but my buddies did and they both loved it so that's something

    Christmas Pop-Up Drink
    Gabriella C.

    Love the themed pop-up bars at Chicken + Whiskey! The Mistletoe & Mischief and Valentine's Day pop-ups were awesome and the special cocktails and shooters are cute and yummy! The decorations are also so well-done and fun! I enjoy the fact they have events like speed dating and karaoke that makes for a lively bar scene! The most recent visit we had half of the white chicken - which was tender and quite flavorful, along with the Mac 'N Queso which is really good and one of our favorites! The empanadas are also a must-order as well! And you NEED to get the apple pie churros! I will be coming back for these! Overall solid drinks, vibe, and food!

The drinks were so tasty and reasonable during happy hour! The service was great - fast, friendly, and the perfect amount of checking-in. This is a great place to meet up with a small group of friends to catch-up. We shared the deviled eggs and grilled cheese. Only complaint is that they won't divide the bill - like at all. The best they'd do is divide it evenly. I mean, if Perkins can do it, this place (with a premium on food and drink) can definitely do it. ‍ Still - I'll be back.

There was a bit of a hiccup with the reservation and party size but they were able to accommodate us for a limited time in between reservations. The waitress was ok, she was a little unpleasant in some of her one on one customer service but I assume that because this bar is probably usually busy, that type of service goes unnoticed however it wasn't very busy when we were there. Regardless, the drinks were really good and the prices weren't unreasonable. The decor and atmosphere was really nice and lent itself well to being a speakeasy. I think this would be a great happy hour or even casual date spot. I'd come back in the future.

They have good drink options which was nice for a group which all had different tastes. We started with appetizers, including the chicken empanadas, the tuna tacos, and ceviche sampler. The chicken empanadas were good, if not particularly memorable. But had a nice crunch on the shell and the inside had a nice savory flavor and not dry. The tuna tacos, which didn't have the most appetizing color, was also tasty. The tuna was tender and balanced well with the crispy shell. The ceviche sampler was also delicious, each one having a different flavor profile. I liked the tigre de leche the best in terms of the acidity and brightness. I just wish the ceviche had some kind of vessel to eat it with. One of the ceviche had plantain chips which was nice but I wanted more. Without it, the texture is just one note. For the main dishes, we got the lomo saltado and the aji de gallina which are two, iconic Peruvian dishes. Both were just meh. The aji was the better of the two. The sauce was flavored well with the creaminess of the sauce not overwhelming the garlic and tumeric flavors. But the rice was SUPER dry, almost crunchy. The lomo saltado was even worse. The beef was overly cooked, some pieces were very sinewy and chewy. It was also overly salty and the veggie to meat ratio heavily favored the veggies and made the dish feel cheap. Overall, it was fine but given the options for Peruvian in DC, not sure this deserves 4 stars+.
