First of all, I would hardly call this a whiskey bar. It's just an extension of Iron Abbey -…read moreanother sports bar. We had a reservation and when we arrived, we were told to head up and the only table was our reserved table. The bartender with blue hair came over, didn't greet us, didn't ask what we wanted to drink, just immediately told us we would have to sit outside because the table we were at was for 6. (We were a party of 2). I explained we had a reservation and she scoffed. So unwelcoming. We got up and left and will not be back.

Basically the top floor of the Iron Abbey with a small bar and seating. I found this part of the…read morebuilding quiet and a nice area to have a drink at the end of the night. The bartenders were really nice. The bottle "cellar" area is full of different styles. I perused the area and if your looking for international beers this is a good place to look. The shelves were stocked with a very wide selection of mostly Belgian, Italian brews with American Micro and German coming in just behind. I've had Spanish brews before, but they actually had in stock six to 10 different Spanish Brews and some Brazilian beer. (Makes sense since a Brazilian Steakhouse is connected to the building) The prices were fair and they even had some exclusive Iron Abbey collab beers with local breweries. It's out of the way for me bottle shop wise, but if I do stop by the area I'll of course check out their stock. I found a couple of nice hard to find Imperial Stout's that now have a nice home. A nice addition to the building.

He made for fantastic company and provided great customer service. I order a medium steak that initially came out overdone and Shawn sent it back for me with no problems. The ambiance was perfect for me. It's lowkey and you're able to hear your conversation. We were visiting from Texas and it made for one of our favorite moments during our trip!

The highlight of our day was sitting at the bar afterwards with Stephanie, she was funny engaging, and really knew how to make an excellent cocktail.

I can't tell you what an asset Stephanie is to that company.We were expecting to go eat and then maybe go someplace else for a drink, but after our experience with all of the workers as well as I mentioned, Stephanie. We just had to stay. I highly recommend foods and staff are amazing. You gotta go. I also wanted to add that the ambience was very warm and welcoming.

We finally got…read moreto visit last night after having dinner at the restaurant you must go through in order to enter the Lounge because it's speakeasy style. We entered through the wall of the restaurant and walked right into the cute bar area of the lounge (3 bar seats). The energy was buzzing and there were others laughing and talking so we slipped right into a table and go comfy. Kayla greeted us minutes after we settled in and brought over menus and water. She let us take our time deciding on cocktails and we were glad she did because the menu is extensive. 2 pages of specialty cocktails and countless pages of over 200 different whiskeys! I decided on a gin based cocktail called a BIJOU and the man decided on an Old Fashioned. Kayla wanted to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks so she shared that we were able to change the type of whiskey and gin if we wanted. Both cocktails were DELICIOUS and absolutely "spirited"! Kayla is such an amazing mixologist and she was also the only employee in the lounge so she was mixing drinks, seating people, answering questions and doing so seamlessly and with a smile. We will definitely be back and will be sure to bring friends anytime they're in town because this place is such a gem.

I sorta don't want to tell people about it because I want this place to myself on weeknights haha. So I walked into the restaurant and just wandered around looking for the lounge.

I'm glad they let non-members like me in. Haha Thanks for a relaxing night!

When you first walk in the restaurant/bar area is dark; I selected patio seating and was glad that I did because it was much brighter on the patio - also, it is heated but I was still a little chilly but not uncomfortable. For a starter, we had the crab dip - this was good; it was cheesy and had good hints of crab meat; our entrees were Sautéed Salmon and Lamb Birria Ramen - the presentation of both dishes was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me (and my nephew) and even though I asked for my salmon to be cooked well, it was slightly undercooked... We did enjoy our drinks - he had a Millionaire Capri Sun and I had You Only Live Twice. If I return, it will only be for appetizers and drinks. The service was really good and the overall atmosphere was good also.

The chicken skin appetizer. OMG. So good. I need to figure out how to make these at home. Had the FTC burger and tots as Mike was nice enough to dissuade me away from the Moo Caliente. Says on the menu "VERY spicy". Mike gave me the Reaper aioli for my tots. Holy hot! But tasty. If you like really spicy, take the Moo Caliente on. Now Mike is the owner, bartender, and designer of all this. I have never had the opportunity to actually speak with the guy I saw on TV but he is so down to earth he acts like just an employee. What an honor to get to hang out and speak with the owner. An incredible experience and you must try Farmer & the Cow if in Wilmington

I went up to the bar to order and the bartender took orders from the people sitting at the bar, but ignored me. Finally, two seats opened up at the bar. We sat there for another 5-10 minutes. The bartender approached where I was sitting, and looked right past me to take the orders of others who had just walked in the door and were standing behind us. She got to work on their orders and never acknowledged my existence. The place is cute and seems to have an interesting drink menu, but my sense is that you won't get served if you're not a local. I can't tell you about the quality of the food or drinks because we never got to sample anything. We left. I can tell you that the customer service is terrible.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!
