This is a dope and lively bar. The energy here on a Wednesday night was bar none, the Yankees beating the Red Sox possibly helped but hey shoutout the Yankees and Whiskey Tavern for the free shots. The service was amazing. The chicken Caesar wrap was delicious, I've never had so much chicken in a wrap. They also had a bowl of candy available which def didn't go under appreciated. Good Job Whiskey Tavern! read more

Loud and friendly place with a dash of EXTRA. They really go the extra mile here with the mini posters they print out for customers. During my short time here, I saw waiter offer to buy shots for a table of guests -- super friendly stuff. Vibe is all fun. Burger was decent -- pre cut patty -- but cooked properly and they don't skimp on the cheddar cheese! Cheeseburger with Beer = $18. FF = + $3. Great lunch spot a block from the courthouse! read more

Whiskey Tavern - The Backroom - Whiskey Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Whiskey Tavern is the most awesome bar ever. Colin is an absolute sweetheart that stops at nothing to 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!!!!!!!! read more

Date: Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 Time: around 7:30pm My group of 4 stopped by for a bday get together in the back room. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, but we headed straight to the back. They had grabbed some tables in the corner as there were a fair amount of people here already. There was a TV which was great as it was during the NBA Conference Semifinals and the Knicks were playing. We partly went up to the bar and grabbed drinks and partly ordered from a server. I think there were some fries in the mix as well. I know one of my friends saw the specials at the bar, so we did end up with their shot of the day, cocktail of the day, etc. When it came time to order from he server, I wanted a spicy margarita so got that. I know I was handed pours of jameson at some point as well. Vibe is as expected during sporting event. Bustling and fun. REVIEW #3767 read more

Opens at noon, & food is served from noon to midnight. Good selection of salads, & the beef chili was great. The wings were only mid, but you can't win them all? No German pils on tap, but the Stella was cold & very fresh. Good vibes in here at all times, day & night, & great mix of all types of people from all walks of life vibing together. The world needs ALOT more of this right now! Clean inside, & very friendly & attentive staff, & fair prices. read more

Wow talk about walking into a time capsule. This establishment brings you back to the 70 's . I ordered a old fashion and was not disappointed . Collin the bartender really made me feel like I was at that cheers bar where everyone knew each others for years. Definitely felt the love . The prices are what you expect from Manhattan. The decor like I said is a throw back to when drinking was all everyone did. The patrons are friendly. please do your self a favor and stop in and have something to eat which looks so delicious and a drink you will leave with a smile. read more

Whiskey Tavern - I'm celebrating my birthday!! - Whiskey Bars Near Me - New York, New York

While in town for a team meeting, my colleague and I went to grab some pre-dinner drinks. I like a good "dive bar" and the Whiskey Tavern checked off that box for me. As we sat down in one of the booths, our waiter came over right away, introduced himself to us and also asked for our names. I thought that that was a nice touch already but what later happened would certainly exceed my expectations... Anyway, we started drinking and chatting, ordering some snacks and then...at some point...I look up and see a sign that reads: Happy Monday, Uli & PJ. I really was surprised as I have no idea when they hung that up! Really, really loved this personal touch! Oh...and they rounded up our evening with a free tequila shot! Nice one! read more

Stumbled in here after our company holiday party. It was just the vibe we were looking for! We ended up sitting in the back room. It was kind of quiet but still had music playing, lots of Christmas decorations. It was perfect! We ordered a bunch - quesadillas, tater tots and chicken fingers. It was just what we needed. And some shots (which we probably didn't need lol). I'd definitely come here again. read more

Collin and Bryan were the best!! We loved their vibe and the service was incredible. Such a great visit.

Stopped in to get out of the cold on a girls trip to NYC, after shopping on Canal street hoping for a place to warm up without spending a ton. Coming from Austin; we love a good dive bar and this is exactly that. A GREAT atmosphere, the bar tenders were fast and so nice, made us feel right at home never like an outsider! Michelada was great as well. Highly recommend this place! 1000/10!! read more

Classic dive bar in Chinatown to relive college memories as a late 20s/early 30s. We came here at midnight on an unsuspecting Saturday evening and it was surprisingly busy with lots of events going on -- birthday parties, "anniversaries" of being in NY, etc. Clientele mostly skewed towards white/straight, but everyone was having a good time and being friendly. Titanic was playing on the TV in the back the entire time, which was a hoot. The DJ set was amazing and there wasn't a single song that seemed out of place. There's some food options -- I got buffalo wings and fries and ate it while standing, I was so hungry. All in all, a consistently good place to go for a quick drink and to regress to a time with less responsibilities. read more

Let me give you an updated review, since I became a better reviewer. Well, Whatever I say about this place wont be enough, it is truly a gem of the city. Either during weekdays or weekends, this place never misses, and everytime I leave the place, I have a smile on my smile. Food: I have tried multiple stuff from the menu and each single one is a hit. In addition to their weekly special (check the IG) their burgers, fries, taters tots, tacos, or chicken wings are very tasty definitely hit the spot, and if you thinking you wont be getting a big plate, you are wrong. Each portion is big enough to fill you up. Service: Ahhhh, Brian, Mariel, Alex, are my favorites, they are by far my the best of the best. They make me feel welcomed and everytime I see them, I know I will have a good time. Ambiance: You want to watch sports, have a group gathering, dance till you can't breathe, or just have a nice chat with a friend; this place is the right one. Music and good vibes are the motto of this place. I also want to point out their amazing Happy Hour deals during weekdays, so make sure to check that out, and who knows you might leave with one of their signature signs, IYKYK. read more

Stopped by here on our dumpling crawl and we had the best time. The atmosphere is fun; there's bubbles, incredibly nice staff, and fun name signs (wont elaborate, just go and find out). Most importantly, drinks were strong and affordable. Highly recommend; make the stop. Sips and Sizzles loves Whiskey Tavern!!! Instagram @sipsandsizzles read more

Shopping down in Chinatown and looking for a spot to have a beer. Whiskey Tavern welcomed us right away when arriving. Service by Jason and Erin was top notch. They helped us celebrate our daughters' master's degree graduation. We had drinks, jalapeno poppers and the chicken nachos and they were great. If you are looking for a casual drinking/eating establishment this is the one! We were hoping to go back but didn't get a chance this trip. read more

Whiskey Tavern, you beautiful gem, you! We strolled in during the day, thinking we were just going to have a chill time--and we did! The vibe was so laid-back and cozy, we almost didn't leave. But oh, when we returned at night, it was like we stepped into an entirely different universe! The place was alive with fun music, wild dancing, and pure, unfiltered good vibes. And let's talk about Brian, the bartender--this guy is a legend. Not only can he whip up a mean cocktail, but he's also got the charm of a movie star. Long story short: Whiskey Tavern by day is delightful; Whiskey Tavern by night is the party you didn't know you needed. 10/10 would dance the night away again! read more

I'm a HUGE fan of Whiskey Tavern - it's a really fun spot where you feel welcome, whether it's your first time there or 50th. They make fun signs to hang at your table customized to who is in your party, which is a really fun touch, and it always seems like they're celebrating something. The most recent time I came they had these koozies since they've been open 14 years. My favorite drink here is the Cinnamon Toast shot - it's so tasty. read more

A solid 4.5 bar with good service & decent drinks. FYI, it gets crowded QUICK so recommend coming a bit earlier. One of my gals threw a holiday gathering here & I have to say, it was a good choice. Food was pretty solid & so were the vibes but just a heads up, music is a bit loud, haha (but what did you expect? it's a dive bar after all!). If you're looking to grab a beer or a few shots, Whiskey Tavern is a good choice in the Chinatown area! read more

Great friendly local "dive" bar. Hidden away in Chinatown, a good place to pop in if you are around there.

I walked in here on a Thursday afternoon for a quick shot. I was in the area and was in the mood for a pickle back. I found myself at Whiskey Tavern accidentally. I walked in and I was immediately greeted by Colin their bartender. He was super friendly and served me quick. I sat next to the Happy Thursday Gary sign coincidentally and got to meet Gary as he's a regular at the bar. I did my pickle back shot and hung around because the bar was so welcoming & the people around me were fun to talk to. would definitely recommend this place for a fun time! read more

What's not to love, lunch special, solid menu, great drinks. Very nice bourbon selection, HH daily. My burger was fine, great value, what I needed, not award winning. Everyone seemed happy at the bar, the barman asked names and put up friendly welcome signs above the bar. It's a total local / cheers type bar, of which there are too few.
