Highly recommend Whiskey Thief for anything from "in and out" drinks and apps to date night to night with the guys and sports on the screens even family dining makes sense as the place is clean and classy. Very Refined yet Down Home and Relaxing Experience. This place is most certainly a "destination dining and drinking" spot for Foodies and Bourbon aficionados yet welcoming and inviting to local yokels and families alike. Whiskey Thief is gonna blow up when word gets out; true Gem hidden out in Richland.

The first thing that catches your eye is the wall of spirits (seriously impressive). Add in a super comfortable, roomy dining area, and you've got a spot that just feels good to hang out in. Food-wise, we went with the sweet potato tots (crispy perfection), the crispy chicken sandwich (big portion, packed with flavor), and closed it out with bourbon bread pudding (a must-try if you've got a sweet tooth). Everything was tasty and priced right. We'll be back for sure -- and next time, I'm diving deeper into that cocktail list!

We will always come back. It doesn't stay open super late so we gor kicked out lol but we always have a good time.

For dinner, I ordered the Carbonara Bucatini and it was so delicious. My brother and sister in law both ordered the filet and finished every bite.

Live performances, good food, AMAZING drinks, and wonderful staff makes the drive worth it every single time! The cocktail bar has a cool story and I love that every menu item has a feeling to it. My favorite drink for the night was from their limited edition summer menu, the electric slide was perfect and refreshing (sign my petition to get my drink on the regular menu lol), my boyfriend had an old fashioned by one of the bartenders that another couple near us said makes the best, and he indeed said it was made perfectly! (Idk what that means cause I think they're gross, but ‍), the mint julep is also a must try as their signature drink, ooo and the my prerogative is pretty tasty too. Big drinker clearly, we also tried the competition cocktail made with corn!! Sounds insane, but it was actually really good!! Okay onto the food, I have no pictures of the food because I literally inhaled it all. So here's my list of must try's as the cost is pretty reasonable, so you can really try them all. Sweet heat chicken flatbread Collard green dip Honey lemon pepper chicken salad (SOOO GOOD!!!)

It's next door to their sister restaurant, Lovejoy. Walking in, the space is very dimly lit with a nice bar and some cozy seating. We were directed to a couch and a couple of low chairs. The menu is organized into different "chapters," with different themes for each chapter. They also have beer, wine, spirit-free options, and a spirits list. I wanted something fun, so I chose the Don the Beachcomber, a rum-based tiki cocktail that is flamed tableside. My friend got the Obstacle No. 1, which is a bourbon drink that they smoke at your table. Very theatrical and fun! These drinks were $20+ so pretty pricey, but worth it for a fun occasion. We had a nice time just relaxing and catching up. I would say it's not a great spot for a large group, but definitely a fun date night place. They have a small food menu of offerings from the restaurant next door that sounded tasty. We had just eaten but I'd be interested in their small plates. I'm so glad I got to experience this place.
