I can not comment on the bar side of the establishment, I only stopped in on a bourbon hunt,…read morelooking for rare bourbons to take back home. It's located on the strip between Navarre Beach and Destin and was one of several liquor stores that I stopped in at during Spring Break. When I first walked in, I noticed the strong stench of cigarettes, so I guess they smoke in the bar area? idk, that's an assumption. Honestly for a place named Whiskey Barn, there isn't a lot of bourbon selection. They have more than just whiskey too, by the way. The sold everything to tequilla to vodka. There were a few dusties that we picked up, one was a 2003 Bookers. The sweet cashier lady said that they just got it in, but I'm not too sure about that because it literally had dust on it. In the bourbon world, dust is a good thing though. I'd stop back in if I were in the area.

This place is fairly small but they've got what you need (and an actual bar). The lady at the window didn't really know what they had so after striking out on a few requests we ended up parking to go in, luckily what we were looking for was stocked! No worries though. I love these little stores and am happy to support small businesses.

Easily One of the Worst Customer Service Experiences I've Had…read more I've worked in the beer industry for years, and I can confidently say this was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had at a craft beer establishment. I walked in looking forward to grabbing a pizza and a beer. I got in line behind several large groups and patiently waited my turn. After more than 10 minutes, I was finally next in line and ready to order. Instead of helping me, the bartender turned away and started serving a completely new line that had formed at the opposite end of the bar. By the time she came back to me, I was literally the last person waiting. I completely understand being busy and understaffed. I've worked in this industry long enough to know how overwhelming it can get, especially when you're working alone. That's why I remained patient and respectful throughout the interaction. Unfortunately, that courtesy wasn't reciprocated. From the moment I ordered, I was met with nothing but attitude, as though I was somehow inconveniencing her by being a paying customer. After finally taking my order, she let out an audible "ughh " making it painfully obvious how annoyed she was. I took my number, found a seat, and waited for my pizza. Forty minutes later, still no food. I went back to the bar to order another beer and politely asked about my pizza. Her exact response? "I'm not sure what's going on back there." I replied, "Okay, do you mind checking on it?" Her response blew me away: "You can go back there and ask yourself if you'd like." Seriously? At that point, I simply respectfully replied, "Sure thing..." In all my years working in the beer industry, I've never experienced this level of dismissiveness and outright disrespect at a craft beer establishment. I don't expect anyone to roll out the red carpet. I don't expect lightning-fast service when a place is slammed. I understand short staffing, long tickets, and stressful shifts better than most. What I do expect is basic courtesy, professionalism, and a little accountability. Being busy is understandable. Taking your frustration out on customers who have done absolutely nothing wrong is not. I'm visiting Florida for the first time, and unfortunately, this was my first experience with the local craft beer scene. What should have been a simple, enjoyable night exploring the local craft beer scene turned into one of the most disappointing hospitality experiences I've ever had. Great beer means very little when the hospitality is this bad. I genuinely hope management addresses this, because no customer should be made to feel like a burden simply for placing an order.
