Thursday night is karaoke night and I 13/10 recommend, IT WAS POPPING!!! Staff is super friendly and drink were coming off the bar stat. There is a food menu but me and a friend just came for drinks. Being a local spot I wish that more of the alcoholic beverages supported local breweries! read more

This is a really fun country bar! You can hang out, dance, and drink! I enjoy this place because not only did they play country music they also played hip-hop! While we were standing a waitress came up to us and asked us what we wanted to order! We didn't even have to go to the bar to order a drink! read more

We went on a Friday night . I did see people leaving saying it was a 5 dollar charge but by the time we got to the front of the line they didn't charge us anything at all . I wasn't too fond of the dj . Not music I can dance too . It's loud and active but the bathrooms are way too small for all those females . If I happened to be in the area I would give it one more try but I wouldn't make it on my to do list . read more

I've been coming to this bar for almost two years specifically for the line dancing, and I've always enjoyed coming here. However, I was really disappointed to suddenly find out that there is now a $5 cover charge that is cash only, with no heads-up or signs posted by the entrance. Especially since the bar is constantly active on Instagram and regularly advertises their line dancing, I feel like this change should have been communicated ahead of time. I have no problem paying the $5, but the lack of communication and the cash-only requirement left a bad impression. A simple announcement on social media or a sign at the door would have made a big difference. read more

Ok let's start off with bartenders badass but bro charging to line dance wild. Like there are bars so close to this place why would I pay to come Here. And they don't even have sun cruisers forget this place read more

I've been coming here almost every week for 2 years and I go tonight and all the sudden they want to charge $5 to even enter the bar. That's the dumbest thing I've heard, and to only charge it on the dancing nights (wed/fri/sat), but no other ones...what about the karaoke nights? I'm under the impression it's because they assume the dancers don't order as many drinks (I've explicitly heard the owner doesn't like that the dancers don't constantly buy drinks) Either way, a cover to get in to a basic bar is ridiculous, not sure who they think they are... a club. It feels very targeted and I'm sure the bar is going to lose a lot of loyal customers for this new change! I would reconsider. read more

This place is just a chill environment to enjoy a few drinks and if here on the right now to listen to some amazing live bands. What I love about this place is that there is such a diverse group some regulars and some not but it doesn't matter the staff are always friendly and helpful. The bar food is not just regular old bar food, you have so many options on their menu and everything we have tried has been pretty tasty (wings are tops). read more

Every time I come here, we always have a great time usually stop by after work to have a couple drinks. Ashlee is always amazing. The best gets down with her Mexican candy shots never disappoints. read more

Found a piece of glass in my food took manager over 30 min just to come out and offer a replacement and a free gift card so will definitely not order food from here again read more

Well I will start with I went on a Sunday around Noon. First. Sign on front door "no one under 21" I walk in and there are 4 little kids running around the pool table. I guess it was bring your kids to work day. Next. Sat at bar. Only person at bar. One of the few in the place actually. Waited. Waited. Waited. After about 10-12 mins I was about to leave and the bartender finally ask if she can get me something. I guess her Starbucks was more important. Order a draft. After trying unsuccessfully to pour draft she gives up and offers a bottle. Ok. Whatever. Next. I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich. Tip to the chef. If you are going to nuke frozen buffalo chicken breast patty from Costco at least nuke them all the way and don't advertise it as Nashville Hot Chicken, that is a cooking technique not a microwaved frozen patty. Ask "for another beer when you get a min" sure. She brings me one and grabs my other one and throws it away. It was half full. After waiting about 15 mins for food she comes back and says "the kitchen is backed up" seriously there are 7 people in the place. Including the 4 kids. I'm hoping i just hit at a low staff time. Few TVs around. Line dancing and live music in the back. Might try again but wasn't all that impressed. read more

I loved visiting here. Ashlee was so welcoming and made my experience spectacular! She was quick at making drinks, and was very hospitable. Ashlee will be one of the reasons I return to this bar. Whiskey Republic has a great ambiance with kind clientele. read more

**ETA: Saw a response to a recent review that mentioned the lack of diversity in the jukebox selection and the bar stated that it's a "country bar" with, presumably, country music. Fair enough - except we were able to find Sublime, Alanis Morissette, and Green Day to play which, last I checked, was alternative music. I wonder what all those artists have in common? ~tHe mOre YoU knOw~ This is definitely a "you gotta be a regular" type of dive bar. My husband and I came in to get a drink and the drinks were just fine. My issue came with how little attention we were paid. The bartender was nice when giving us our drinks and taking my husband's credit card. She ignored us the rest of the time and opted to talk to anyone else BUT us, including to take shots with other parties. It would've been cool to at least get a "You guys good?" once but meh. When we were ready to go, we asked for the check and she walked to the cash register without looking at us (I did hear her say, "For sure" from a distance) and she seemed confused that she had taken my husband's card earlier and never given it back. He told her he gave it to her and she asked skeptically "Are you sure?" He confirmed and stated his last name and she looked hesitant, so he took his ID out to reassure the whole thing. She gave us the card back without even looking at us. We definitely felt unwelcolmed, which sucks because we love dive bars and usually tip very well at these spots but this felt different and I can't pinpoint why - other than the fact that their jukebox had NO black artists approved for song selections. I'll let y'all make your choice from there. read more

Very disappointed in this business and sad for Redlands. Went here with my husband and friends on a busy night. My husband and friends are African American and I honestly felt like we were back in the 1940s in the Deep South. I am white and could feel the tension and uncomfortable feeling in the room. We decided to leave and as we were leaving these white men in a truck drove by us and screamed "I hate black people" "White supremacy!!" Confirming what we were feeling inside the establishment. I wish I were making this up. I will never go back there again. read more

Always a good spot for a lunch break! Food comes out perfect and hot!! Service is always top tier Nikki is always a great bartender to have!! Ambiance is nice music isn't to loud so we can talk about hole eating which is nice. read more

I went to whiskey republic tonight and this wasn't the first time of me coming here this is pretty much the only country bar in my city,l feel like this bar is a little bit racist every time I come here some of the bartenders are extremely rude like tonight I was seating the bar and this white couple comes right beside me mind you the bartenders never asked me if I wanted to order anything to drink,this guy bartender never looked at me once so l asked the female bartender if I could order a drink she then clearly ignored my request so l then had to walk to the bar in the back to get a drink,lam a resident of the city of Redlands for not 10 years living here,This wasn't the first rodeo at whiskey Republic isn't a place for Black and Mexican people read more

Love line dancing and have been coming here Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays to dance and have fun. This past week, we as line dancers have been charged to just be on the dance floor. There were no signs posted about the new charge or pre advanced warning letting us know. Once it got to a certain time in the night, they stopped charging and let people in for free, this seems unfair to your loyal costumers who come to support all night long. They added an ATM machine and said they only were accepting cash for entry. I think it is unkind and shady to not advertise being the only bar/country bar in Redlands to be charging people. BTW the ATM machine has an addition fee. We were asked/told if we were line dancing because we were the only ones who had to pay. The people only staying at the bar/ open area were not charged. They need to be more open and communicate to the community about their future charges and changes. NO SIGNAGE WAS POSTED INSIDE OR OUT OF THE RESTAURANT. read more

Whiskey Republic is the spot! If you like country line dancing and a high-energy crowd, you have to go. I was there with a big group of eight last wkn and we loved the music and the drinks. The staff is great...one of the security guys (the one with the tattoos) was super helpful and even helped me track down my phone. It's rare to find such a cool vibe where the staff actually looks out for you. 10/10 recommend! read more

Bartenders are great. The Gouda Chicken sandwich is very good They have trivia everyday which I really like. The night time it gets packed, always a good time. read more

Vibes are great, beer is cold, people are friendly. Add on friendly bartenders like Johnathan, Natalie, gaby, Liz, or Sasha who all make you feel like you're right at home? 10/10 Great bar to be at. John and Levi who work security are also super nice. It's always a great time when I go! read more

Great service. Friendly Staff. Awesome Security. Tuesdays are a great night to sing karaoke starting at 9. The neon signs are great for the glow in pictures. The food is amazing. Try the wings. The decor is all over the place. You definitely gotta check it put. Have the bartender, Ashlyn make you a drink or pour you a beer. You won't regret it. read more

@whiskey.corina Incredible service every visit the bartender is attentive welcoming. It makes everyone feel comfortable even during busy hours. She never misses a beat. Definitely a reason I keep coming back. read more

All I'm going to say is make sure you're not double tipping! I went this past Friday with a big group. Rented the "speakeasy room" what they dont tell you is they add $12 to your tab for being in that room. Then add multiple other charges. Their own tip was added ($18+) which was labeled as another "fee" and still asked for a tip at the bottom. Totaling $141 and some change for 4 drinks, two shots, and chicken stripes with fries before tip. This happens far too often here. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

BEST country bar around ! It's safe, friendly and has an amazing vibe! All the staff is great from the bartenders, servers to security! Danna was my bartender and she's super friendly and very knowledgeable on drinks! I'll definitely be coming back because of her! read more

The tall bartender Johnathan always gets to me fast and make my Tennessee Tea perfect! Always friendly always attentive. My lady friends say that he's easy on the eyes too, but I don't know anything about that. read more

I've kind been to Whiskey Republic many times. We always had fun there. The energy and vibes are so lively. They now have single nights which runs every first Thursday of the month. I guess it's $10/pp to participate and $35/pp if you want a package deal which includes a participation fee/a drink and something else which I don't remember what he said. Couldn't hear. Loved their southern bbq plates which comes with sides. Their make and cheese is so delicious. I've also had their garlic fries so delicious. I've had their burgers too delicious. I think everything on the menu is pretty good. I like their drinks too. My favorite from there is spicy margaritas. Their services is usually pretty good. But I've been there and sometimes it takes them awhile to get our orders in. Of course that's sometimes when they are busy. I love the music and sometimes they have DJ and dancing that's always fun. read more

Love this place! Special shout out to Jonathan. He always gives great service and makes great drinks. Highly recommend

They double charged my card.. and 2 years ago they did same thing.. not ok..seams intentional when it keeps happening

Today was my second time here. I loved it the first time, but today confirmed that service here is always on point! Mary, the daytime bartender, served me both times. She is very attentive, accommodating, and will be there when your drink is running low. I have no doubt that everyone is just as great but I play favorites and will be back for her! Also, the wings are delish! Crispy yet moist. They also have a chicken salad that has a vinaigrette dressing to die for! I highly recommend coming here for food AND drinks! read more

Honestly it's not even a country bar anymore me and my buds come every Sunday and they play the same hip hop music over and over. We used to love coming to whiskeys and they keep cutting the juke box off seems like no matter what time we go I've lost money cuz they cut it off even after I've sent music. Honestly idk why they just don't split the rooms if the bull wants to play music. Sadly I'm over it and gonna look for another country bar. This used to be my favorite place to go. read more

The bartender Ashlyn is amazing! Every time my friends and I come in she is always happy. I ate the happy hour pretzel and it was good. She made one of the best old fashions I've ever had. I always look forward to coming to see her here at whiskey republic! read more

If you're Hispanic and not with whites they act like you're not there, 3rd time at bartop and bartenders serve others who come after me and pretend I'm invisible while I'm 6 foot 3. And first time I was with my white gf. I guess the racism still exists like it's 1940. read more

My experience at Whiskey Republic is always great but shout out to Jonathan! Best bartender. He is always so nice and makes the best drinks! If he is behind the bar you will always find me on that side of the bar! read more

Sasha is the best!!! Coming back every weekend for HER!! Her dance moves are killer!!

Last time we went they advertised family Halloween brunch on a Saturday . No one really dressed up and when I asked the mimosa specials I was told they don't do any today. It was a little disappointing as it was advertised as a brunch. When we got a menu I did see mimosa options so I'm not sure if the server was new and not aware. Other than that the food we had was great. read more
