Chicken quesadillas
Randy B.

Great food, great time for a Sunday afternoon. Chris our waiter absolutely made our experience more fun than words can say. From the moment we came in the door until the time we left it was a perfect experience at the Whiskey River Saloon!

Hatch Green Chili pulled pork taco
Lori L.

My friend got the classic cheeseburger with Sidewinder fries and I got the Hatch Green Chili pulled pork taco. Both were very good. Things were a bit slow, but there was also only one person working. Will definitely go back to try more things! Moody and dark, very tavern-like. They have Barstool areas in the front but then a bigger dining room in the back.

Awesome band setting up

Love the vibes here. Pet friendly patio. Live music, good food, and dancing. Perfect place for a cold beverage, delicious salmon tacos, and people watching. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Also, they have a doggie menu.

CHICHARRONES! #bringthemback
Susan W.

We came here with some friends visiting from out of state. My husband always rants and raves about the chicharrones (fried pork rinds) and insisted we have some along with lunch and a couple of drinks. Well to our surprise (and my husband's near death experience!), we learned that the menu has recently changed and that the chicharrones were removed! My husband was immediately feeling like the world was coming to an end and asked our server, Jessica, if she could please ask the chef to find some in the freezer and make them for us. Jessica who was so nice and super friendly said she would talk to the cook, but that she couldn't guarantee that chicharrones were still in stock. The menu had apparently just changed and several regular customers had already felt the same pain when they heard that the pork rinds were gone! WHY do restaurants do this to us??? Anyway, we went ahead and ordered some chips and salsa and a side of guacamole in hopes that this appetizer would satisfy the craving for those famous chicharrones that three of us only ever heard about... We also ordered a couple of Palomas, a PBR, and an 805 from the bar. Our Palomas were very good and the beers, well they're beers! The chips were good, the salsas (red and green) were okay, and the side of guacamole was definitely on the small side, but had an okay taste. Our lunch order consisted of the Pulled Pork Tacos (ordered two), the recommended and new menu item, Grilled Chicken Salad, a Classic Burger, and the new Chicken Wrap served on a spinach wrap. Both the burger and the wrap were served with fries. The burger came with swirly fries and they were amazing! The wrap was served with shoestring fries and they were also very good. The tacos are sold a la carte and come with a lot of meat, shredded cabbage and topped with French onions. My friend said they were very good and because they're not that big, two were the perfect amount. As for my chicken salad, it was okay. There was nothing special about it or anything to rave about. In my opinion they should bring back the old menu and keep it as it was... So, I don't know what Jessica said to the cook, but she scored BIG in our book! The chef was able to make us an order of chicharrones and they were served fresh, hot, and oh so yummy! Apparently, he still had some in the kitchen since the changes were so recent. My husband just about jumped out of his stool when he heard the news and he quickly told Jessica to please tell the chef to store the rest in the freezer and save them for when he returns and requests them again! KUDOS to Jessica who literally made his day!!! This tavern is located on Whiskey Row, but not necessarily on the block where most tourists are seen. I imagine those that come here are more of the locals and/or locals bringing in their visitors. It's got a rustic vibe going on and is much bigger than one would think. A large area that extends off from the bar area has an ample amount of seating and a couple of pool tables. They also have live music, but I'm not sure what the hours are. Staff is always friendly and the establishment is very clean, including the restrooms! I highly recommend trying this place out at least once. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

Stopped in for a cocktail and had the dogs with us. Misha took great care of us out on the patio! Great drinks, great food! Chance and Bo loved their dinners and the fish tacos Jamie and I shared were excellent. Drinks are excellent and we will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Giant Tacos! Cajun Citrus Chicken & Green Chili Pulled Pork
Robyn V.

We were trying to get in on a Sunday late morning for breakfast next-door, but the hostess was snippy and there was a wait, so we wandered into Whiskey River instead and we're so happy to have found this gem of a restaurant! Being that it was Sunday around 11 AM, the place was practically empty and we were treated like royalty. We Sat outside, Alex was our server - he was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and on it! Two of us ordered 2 tacos each, my Mom had a gorgeous perfectly cooked giant medium rare burger with onion rings, and the table shared a side of tater tots. Everything was fabulous. The tacos are massive, you have to eat half of the toppings out before you're able to even eat the taco - definitely not a complaint! Homemade ranch was delightful, the corn tortillas were extraordinary (didn't fall apart, so good!!) and my vegan boyfriend loved his veggie tacos! I got one of the chicken, and one of the pork, and both were equally delicious. We will definitely be back, as we were leaving before the 1 PM live music started, and more people started coming in. This place has a really cool vibe, and can't wait to check out more of the live music scene, and take a peek upstairs! Love how dog friendly the whole place is!

Taco salad
Elyse J.

Super friendly staff! Quaint and historic feeling atmosphere. Fresh food with big portions

Patio Fun!
Beth E.

Always a fun place to go for their unique and delicious tacos or wings, along with drinks and live music. Back in our drinking days, we enjoyed their Old Fashioned cocktails. They have created quite a fun atmosphere for the Prescott scene with multiple areas for music (outdoor patio, Bunkhouse upstairs, and inside), playing pool, watching sports, or just hanging out with friends.

Guinea's and their drink of the day Whiskey Smash
London B.

The waitress Sonia and the waiter Caution, yes that is his name, have definitely brought this amazing place back to the amazing vibes that we have come to know expect at this place.

Greg W.

This place has changed names owners numerous times over the years. But the new staff are doing an outstanding job with service and Aloha care. Very appreciated. Came in with a friend and had their chicken wings to share and a taco salad. In addition to lots of beer! The food was great. The taco salad was very tasty with a south of the border heat. I had their chiptole sauce which is great. I'm sure their avocado sauce would be great as well for those with British palates. The wings we had with traditional Buffalo sauce and their wonderful blue cheese. Excellent. The wings are not breaded. Which is the way I make them at home. These are great. And properly cooked. The ambiance is great and not a big change from before a new copper bar top. Agreat place to go. Parking is easy in the big parking garage so even on big weekends it's not impossible. Some street parking available.

Prescatz rocked the whiskey like never before!!! }precatz

I have been to "Hassayampa Bar & Grill" in the front of The Hassayampa Inn many times over the…read moreyears; I even played music there ages ago. But not until I did a Yelp search to write this review did I know its actual name is "The Glass Bar." Well, knock me down and steal my teeth! You learn somethin' new... We had a very small pre-birthday celebration and reunion here on a Monday night for a dear old friend who came up from the Valley and was staying at The Hassayampa. (Yes, I know, Monday in Prescott is a bust. Atmesfir and Farm Provisions are closed. Everyone is home doing laundry. Even the colorful Whiskey Row regulars are asleep in their coffins.) So we just decided to meet "in the hotel bar" for a glass of wine during happy hour, to mull over the slim pickins available to us. We had no inkling of the experience we were about to have. Wow! Just wow! First let me say that our server, Kevin, is a SUPERSTAR! Accommodating, thorough, friendly, expedient, talkative but not intrusive, funny, endearing, and charming, charming, charming. (Is that enough superlative descriptors?) We told him of the reason for our gathering, and he said knew exactly what to do. You know, when you're in a celebratory and reminiscent conversational mood, outstanding service lets everything around you, including your cares about your beverages and food, melt away and boosts your social interaction-which is why you are there. Seriously, you rarely find this level of sophisticated service in our small town. Thank you, Kevin! Our meet-in-the-bar to determine-what-to-do-next turned in a delightful and memorable evening consisting of drinks, music, conversation, a light supper, after dinner drinks - in The Glass Bar - followed by drinks and after dinner cigars outside on The Inn's beautiful terrace area, late into the gorgeous Prescott night. Where Kevin continued to insure we would want for nothing. Enough about Kevin. Some of the other delights that made "The Glass Bar" our happy albeit unintended destination were as follows... The bar itself: The inside of the bar is beautiful and well maintained. Rich woods, stained glass, etched glass windows, high ceilings, comfortable seating, all impeccably maintained. The bar feels warm relaxed and intimate. The etched glass interiors windows and oversized street-view picture windows enhance this with a more spacious feel. This is the spot you can take your rich big city relatives to show them Prescott charm without the boot tracks on the floor. There are two small rooms that form an L-share, with a couple steps to transverse. But "step-less" entry is available at the rear of the main room. The main entrance used to be a glass door directly to facing Gurley St., but is now the beautiful stained glass door inside the hotel's Gurley St. entrance. The wines: The house cabernet was delish! That's what we started with. Sadly, wine is too often an afterthought in our cold-beer-and-a-shot-of-tequila bars. Not here. My Phoenix-friend own a wine bar and know their stuff. They were very pleased. If I remember, we tried a couple types. All I know is what tastes good to me, which many wines don't. Everything served to us was great. The victuals: The bar offers a complimentary crunchy-salty snack mix served in wine carafes. Pretty cool. We noshed on the Garlic Parmesan Wings which were some of the best wings I've had in the area. The accompanying Ranch Dressing for the celery (oh, please don't tell me you dip your wings in Ranch) was house made and outstanding. So good, we made them our supper. The live music: What?! What?! Yes, live music on a Monday night. We were treated to the sounds of a skilled saxophonist who played to smooth jazz and bosa nova backing tracks. Man oh man, this cat could blow! (Yes, people talked this way when I was a young man.) He had tone for days. The familiar tunes of some of the greats wafted in and out of our conversation. "Is he playing Jobim?" "Yeah, he is!" ...then back to exchange of stories. The history and lore: My friends were enamored by the story of young Faith Summers, who hung herself from the Inn's bell tower almost 90 years ago, after being abandoned at the hotel on her honeymoon by new husband. They were also a bit spooked by the stories of her ghost haunting the hotel to this day. I didn't tell them Mrs. Summer's room number, knowing my friends were staying in an adjacent room. Hehehe. The patio terrace: This lovely area has plenty of comfortable seating, pleasant lighting, small fountain, and a birds-eye view of the red-lit bell tower. (Perfect for either an introduction to, or a reprise, the ghost stories.)Though the area sits on the corner of Gurley St and Marina, the beautifully kept landscaping provides barrier, so you to feel you are in a secluded courtyard. All these things combined to make a great experience! Yelp says I've run out of charact

Love, love, LOVE this spot. We were in Prescott for a weekend getaway with friends, and they…read moreinsisted we check out Fair Weather Social Club. They'd been before and were ranting and raving -- and honestly, they weren't wrong. We naturally bellied up to the bar (our usual choice), and Lindsay -- the owner -- was our bartender. She is awesome. Super sweet, super engaging, and she put up with us chatting her ear off like a champ. She also had some great stories of her own, which made the whole experience feel even more personal. For drinks, I started with an Aviation. A customer had ordered one with extra violet liqueur and then didn't want it -- their loss, because it was delicious. I'm not even a gin fan and I was over here questioning everything. Then of course I had to have an Old Fashioned -- it did not disappoint. Lindsay added something to it (can't remember what!) that made it spicy, and I love spice, so I was in heaven. I also tried the Paper Plane, and that one was a hit too -- bright, balanced, and just easy to sip. Honestly, everything we had was on point. The vibe of the bar is amazing -- cozy, warm, and full of character. The walls are lined with stunning artwork that Lindsay painted herself. There were two paintings I fell in love with and wished I could have afforded, but with Christmas coming up, I had to behave. Still thinking about them though! Between the drinks, Lindsay's energy, the incredible art, and the overall atmosphere, this place is an absolute gem. We'll definitely be back.
