    Playing over the speakers Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Ashanti What's Luv? Dolly's is the new It Bar in New York 6pm on a Saturday $11 Craft Negronis Mix with $7 IPAs. A wedding party. Dogs. Children. The East River.

    Half the time I mention that I'm a Dolly Parton fan I have gotten either skeptical looks or someone just thinks I'm a bandwagon fan that decided it was cool and acceptable to like Dolly now. But no. I have without any shame have seen Steel Magnolias probably at least 87 times and my sister and I used to (keep in mind I was like 4 and she was 9) would reenact that scene in the hair salon with our dolls where Shelby goes into diabetic shock and Dolly saves the day by getting her her JUICE! My sister always fought vehemently to be Truvy and made me be Annelle. I could never win. Anyway, many years later, many Rock Mountain Christmas specials later, I heard about this opening and wanted to go. But I feel like every time I ask a friend to go somewhere I'm really interested in they get around to it 4 years later and it will be closed lol. I missed the opportunity passing this two weeks ago and decided to hop in when I noticed it was across the street from the same venue this weekend. I love that this bar caters to a lot of different preferences: cocktails - $9, cheap canned beer - $4, nicer draft beer - $5-6 for a 14oz and then $8 for a 24oz, White claw (stop), shot specials, snacksies. For my drink of choice I went with the 'Night Moves'. Not Dolly Parton themed per se. Actually, most of the bar is not themed with the exception of the bathroom. But I have both fond and not so fond memories of my Dad blasting 'Night Moves' in the car pretty much anywhere we went. Skating practice? - Night Moves. Violin recital? - Night moves. Going to a restaurant/daddy is getting too many dewar's on the rocks? - Night Moves. Doesn't want to hear you yapping in the car? - Night Moves. It was nutty and strong. Kind of exactly what I would expect. But a twist on an old fashioned. The jukebox has a good selection of classic rock. Weirdly not a lot of country or Dolly. The bathroom is where she shines and its quite the bathroom. I like the kitsch. I mean, it definitely suckered me to come in. The drinks are cheap and tasty so its hard not to like this for being just a new quality dive.

    Good Chunes Better Drinks!

    Came here on a rainy Sunday and the music selection was just on point. Nothing better than staring outside having your view of Kent avenue and a drink. The bartender was great and the prices are surprisingly affordable for Willy B.. I would entertain coming back here again.

    As far as cocktails, you have to try the Chapo Chapo on happy hour - super spicy, but very satisfying.

    Whiskey Tavern is the most awesome bar ever. Colin is an absolute sweetheart that stops at nothing…read moreto ensure his bar patrons are having a great time! It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
