Not family friendly at all. Came with my family for a birthday and we had young kids in our party. They don't have a changing table and told us to go across the street to the family bathroom, like we were a burden to them. We asked for extra space at our reservation booking to accommodate for a stroller. Once again it was tough to find a spot, but they moved some chairs to make it work. It worked fine until they just came up to move the stroller themselves to sit someone next to us. Keep in mind the restaurant was half empty. Overall just made us not feel very welcome and like we were a nuisance since we came with kids. However I will say our server was pretty good. Save yourself the trouble and only go for a date night or with adults. Not kid friendly. read more

Food is next level- Another elevated dining experience from the company that gave us Agave and Rye & Son of Butcher- (both which I have given rave reviews) It has the same vibe as both these restaurants- Their decorators definitely understood the assignment'- we ate in what we call the cave- it's dark with dim lighting and candles on the tables. The only downside was I felt as though I had to yell at times because of how loud it was- The server got my drink order wrong because she could hear me- which was fine- They had a pianist which was a nice touch- singing todays hits- Let's get into the food - this should be your order when you go- it's the best 4 items on the menu- Deviled eggs Whiskey yard salad Short rib key lime pie Also the smoke old fashioned was smoky and a heavy pour read more

this was our third visit to whiskey yard, and our first two felt like magic. the short rib poutine was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the crab cake was full of real crab, and the lobster risotto had that perfect rich, buttery creaminess. the salty brûlée cheesecake was unforgettable, and the drinks are always refreshing and unique--such a fun touch. which made this last visit feel like the magic faded a bit. the whiskey chicken flatbread came out soggy and underwhelming, but the biggest disappointment was the "nola" banana cream pie. it was honestly awful--completely lacking flavor, with underripe, almost firm bananas, and none of the creamy, comforting richness you'd expect. it didn't feel finished, let alone worth serving. service was also very slow--it took over 30 minutes just to get dessert, only to wish we hadn't ordered it. we've seen how great this place can be, so we're really hoping it finds its rhythm again soon. read more

I know they are still working out some kinks from being new, because it took forever for them to seat us even with a reservation made for over a week. When they did seat us they attempted to sit us in the cold front area designed for warmer weather, where they had space heaters. I was NOT going for it, so we firmly but politely said that we were not going to sit there. Thy quickly adjusted and sat us in a much better spot. From then on it was nearly perfect. Our cocktails took a bit to arrive, my guess is they need more bartending. We first ordered the Garrick bread with roasted red pepper and orange butter. Whoah! It was enough for four people and the bread and the butter were both fresh and unique. Then we ordered the fried crispy shrimp. I had a mouth orgasm from how amazing that was. Honestly i could have just ordered that and eaten it all for my dinner. It's out of this world delicious! My boyfriend ordered the gnocchi and it was yummy. I had the braised short rib and boy is it plentiful and perfection. I think I ate a third of and boxed it up. Kudos to our waiter and I can't remember his name but he was Adrian American with braids. So if he hears about this.... Way to go man! He was so congenial , polite and attentive. It's really noisy with the live music and size and crowd but a lively and visually stimulating dining experience. Th menu is loaded with options and their drink and whiskey options are plentiful! Highly recommend that everyone visit! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Whiskey Yard. Upon entry I was hugely impressed by the modern decor and beautiful artwork. The beautiful hostesses Nana, AB and Khadizha kept me company and shared menu highlights while I awaited my friend's arrival. This first impression made a HUGE impact. My friend and I were seated and greeted by our awesome waiter, Evan who was kind and knowledgeable. Eventually ordered cocktails; he, the margarita which had a beautiful and dramatic presentation. I opted for the Matcha Whiskey Sour which was also beautiful and well balanced. We enjoyed the Beef Bun and Beignets small bites. Both were delicious! My friend enjoyed the beignets so much that he ordered a second round of them and drinks. lol I'm glad we extended our dining time because we had the opportunity to chat with the GM, Michael G and Manager, Gavin. I noted everyone's name that night because my friend and I had a ball and they made our night memorable. Sure, the restaurant is new and has a few kinks to work out but I plan to return soon and often. Thank you to everyone who made our Tuesday a special one. Cheers! read more

We were in town and had a delightful stumble across this new restaurant. We were astonished at the renovations and art work that flooded the walls. We were greeted by smiling faces, menus and shortly after our table. We had the delight of being sat in Kelly's section, and she did not disappoint. With great menu selections guided by her pairings of wine and whisky drinks, we gorged ourselves in atmosphere, well presented dishes, and the occasional pop in from great service members. What a great experience, we will definitely be back. (And asking for Kelly ) read more

We went to the funny bone and decided to grad a bite after the comedy show. We decided to go to the Bar whiskey yard. I must say the interior and atmosphere was great. With that being said, the food was not great. We started off with the shrimp flat bread. I feel it took awhile for the appetizer to come out. When the flatbread came out, it wasn't hot. They remade the flatbread again and it still wasn't hot. I'm not sure what was happening in the kitchen. We actually enjoyed the flavor, but I expect the food to be hot. Especially with the prices they charge. I hope they make improvements because o do see potential. read more

Whiskey Yard - I had a really good old fashioned, smoked mind you. - Piano Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

Some of our friends had eaten here so when Restaurant Week in Cincinnati came around we thought we would give it a try. I had the fixed price menu ($56) and my wife ordered off the regular menu. She had a salad with salmon ($25) and I had the oysters and short ribs from their Prix fixe menu. The oysters were grossly over salty and I had to send them back and ask for a simple salad. Strike one! Then we had to endure a piano man who was far too loud for a small space like this. Strike two. Our waitress was very nice and helped us during the meal. My short ribs were fine but in any other restaurant they would have been sold as Pot Roast at half the price. We were OK with the food and service but felt things were overpriced. Strike three. In short, we'll never be back here again. It may be you're kind of place but it certainly wasn't the sort of place we would want to go back again. read more

Delicious but loud. Corn salad was amazing. Quieted down when the pianist/singer started.

Wow! This restaurant just opened Feb 7 and I CANNOT say enough about the service and portions. Caleb was our server and he did a great job explaining everything.It was also a nice added touch when each dish was presented on the table simultaneously w another server! The salad and the cheesecake were the best I've had in a LONG time. The halibut was a huge portion and was super flavorful. The overall ambiance of this restaurant was upscale with a swanky flair! We'll definitely be back to enjoy cocktails, delicious food and the piano bar!! read more

Up front I'll admit we only stopped in for whiskey on this visit so I can't speak to the food, but we're all now obsessed and planning to go back to check it out. The interior is gorgeous, just impeccable and I want my house to look like this place. The whiskey selection is even better than I would have expected, with some hard to find options. Prices weren't cheap but they weren't higher than I'd expect. We tried a few flights and that was really fun. Service was extremely friendly and informative- we were waited on by Suzanne and she was great. Love this place and can't wait to try the food. read more

Wow! The inside of this restaurant is so gorgeous. The same artist that did Agave and Rye and S.O.B strikes again with beautiful interior and ambiance. The food was fantastic. We started with the short rib Bao buns. Very good! I ordered the scallops and my husband got the filet. Both very good dishes. My only complaint is the over-usage of micro greens in each dish. Adds color, but completely unnecessary. My velvet veil cocktail was so good! Not overly sweet and very refreshing. We came for lunch and there were only a couple other tables. I felt like drinks were very slow to come out, but they did just open and I know there are kinks to work out. read more

The service was exceptional! Devin was our server and he was personable and attentive!Asa, the manager came over to our table several times to make sure that we were pleased with everything. The kitchen was extremely efficient during our visit because our salad and our entree came out at the same time, but, they offered to take back the entree and make it again so that it would be hot. We ordered the corn salad. The salad was delicious; howeve, if you're going to call it a corn salad, it better have plenty of corn. We ordered the Braised Short Rib served over polenta with little sweet potato crisps. The short rib was oh so tender. You only needed a fork. No knife. And the sauce...mmmmm.. It was really delicious. We also ordered the Lobster Four Cheese Tortellini with mushrooms. It was amazing with a savory butter and chock full of lobster. Yummy! The first cappuccino that they brought out was not made right. They apologized and the next cappuccino that they brought out was made deliciously. The food, the vibe, the decor was top notch. The wine was really good as well. I had the Pessimist by Daou, red blend from Paso Robles, California. Lovely! Decor is artistic. Everywhere that you look, there's something interesting to see. It's like dining in a high-end cave, but walls are made to look like Stone. For dessert, we ordered the smoked chocolate terrin. It was a chocolate cake with a praline caramel base and it comes out smoked. Again, delish. I can't say enough about this experience. We really enjoyed ourselves.! read more

Absolutely loved our experience here! We were celebrating my sister's birthday. The food was beyond delicious, every bite was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding. The staff, specifically Suzette, was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed from start to finish. And the ambiance? Perfect! Such a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a vibe that sets the tone for a memorable meal. I will be returning very soon. read more

Reservations are a must. We went there for my birthday and I chose it for the live music and the piano bar was nice. The atmosphere was loud and not sure how the staff dealt with the noise. It was dark but I came to the conclusion that it was suppose to be like the inside of a charred whiskey barrel. The art work and the chandelier was gorgeous. The tiles appeared to be 3d so if you drink you are not seeing things. A table for 2 is small. The staff was great. Our waiter did misunderstand the appetizer but they made it right and we ended up with 2 appetizersbut in his defense it was really loud in there. My husband devoured his steak and I must say it looked amazing. I had the chicken bruchetta also realy good but could not finish all of it so they bag it up for you to take home. Our waiter brought out a birthday surprise dessert of 2 small bites of cheesecake and tirimasu. I had a whiskey flight and my husband had a red wine. He wants to go back for his birthday. I highly suggest this place. Dress up or dress casual. It is pricey but the food is excellent. read more

As with all of the Epic Brands restaurants the ambiance, food, drinks and service at Whiskey Yard were amazing! The ambience was an experience in itself and we were lucky enough to get to dine in our own private room! We wanted to take the large custom beautiful wood dining table home with us but unfortunately it wouldn't fit in our car! The location was also excellent as it was conveniently located in Liberty Center with valet directly outside and lots of other parking options by the restaurant! The menu is inspired by global flavors and seasonal ingredients. For starters we tried several of their small plates. The Whiskey Braised Short Rib Poutine is a must try as it was my favorite! The crispy pomme frites with a more than generous portion of tasty shredded beef short rib on top exploded with flavor with the demi, Fresno chile relish, cheese curds and scallions! Our family favorite was the Arancini! They reminded me of deconstructed cheese sticks but in 3 tasty balls that were constructed by a culinary genius! Their Crab Cake was so tender and meaty and truly was amazing! We also enjoyed the Whipped Feta served with pita! For entrees the foodie road trip continued with deliciousness as we ordered the Zaatar and Sumac Rubbed Salmon, the Mediterranean Brick Chicken and the Filet Mignon Au Cafe! The filet came out and won the presentation of the night with an aromatic huckory smoke reveal when the server lifted the fancy glass dome from the plate! The chicken and salmon were both excellent choices and their sides also didn't disappoint Parmesan polenta with the chicken and Israeli couscous with the salmon! The Rigatoni pasta was also amazing! My son enjoyed the grilled steak bites cooked medium rare with fries off the kids menu! The Bao burger sliders from the kids menu were also loaded with meat and were a great choice for a unique experience! For dessert the tiramisu, Nola banana cream pie and salty caramel bruleed cheesecake were all a great way to close out a fabulous dining experience! Did I forget to mention there is a live piano bar in the restaurant so we also got to listen to live music! The pianist not only played great but she was an excellent singer as well! read more

Food was very good. Impressive Tuna and love the devil eggs. Portions nice to share while having drinks. Drinks good, love the Tamarind one. Service was good until the server switch to pushy mode. We were having drinks and literally requested DORA CUPS TO LEAVE BECAUSE SHE MADE US SO UNCONFORTABLE. The noise level was also out of control the live music + the people was too much. May be the cave type makes the acoustics challenging. I will give it another try, because the hostesses and the food were excellent. Management needs to be aware of some of the waiters if they want to create a good environment. read more

Whiskey Yard in West Chester is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about... because the second word gets out, it's going to be packed. We went opening night and honestly, you'd think they'd been open for months. Everything was seamless service was smooth, the staff actually knew the menu, and the execution on every dish was exceptional. And it wasn't just "good for opening week" good it was legit. Opening night I ordered the Mediterranean brick chicken and it was juicy, flavorful, cooked to perfection. You could tell that chicken was brined tender all the way through with that perfect seasoning. It was so good we went back again tonight (2/11) and they were firing on all cylinders again. This time I had the filet cooked medium rare, and the temp was absolutely perfect. Zero notes. Cocktails are executed beautifully too. If you're choosing between the smoked options: the Smoked Manhattan is bars above the Smoked Old Fashioned but honestly, they're doing it right either way. The ambiance is gorgeous, the decor is upscale without being stuffy, and it feels like a true "downtown-level" night out... except it's right here close to home. I'm thrilled I don't have to drive or Lyft downtown for this vibe anymore. So yes... I'm hesitant to blow up the spot... but everyone should experience this. Just do me a favor: y'all better keep two seats open for me and my husband read more

Whiskey Yard - Lobster tortellini and jumbo shrimp - Piano Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

A visit to Liberty Center's newest EPIC brand concept restaurant -- Whiskey Yard!!! First impressions? The decor is giving full-on Whiskey Cave Chic. Moody. Elevated. A whole vibe. The space feels intentional and immersive from the moment you walk in. The food? Definitely worth the visit. I had the crab cake and I would absolutely order it again. But let's talk about the real MVP on our table -- that whipped feta. Whew. Creamy. Flavorful. Completely unnecessary in the best way. They just launched brunch this weekend (you KNOW I'll be back to investigate ), they offer valet parking out front, and there was live music + a pianist setting the tone. It was a bir loud inside for sure. It gives 'I'm almost a sports bar' loud. read more

Our group of 7 arrived at 1pm on Sunday. Restaurant was dead. Our friends came the week previous, and said service was so slow; get food ordered asap. We placed food orders quick. An hour later they bring 3 of 7 meals out. The 3 people with meals ate all their food. 25 minutes later, the server asked if the 4 remaining people would like their meals to go? They said no, we've been waiting an hour and half, bring our food.. we didn't leave until 3:20.. 2 hours and 20 min for brunch. We don't know what the deal is. It's an empty restaurant why the slow and poor service? The guy manager with pink hair gave us our food for free. If it wasn't for him, we would NEVER come back!! 2 stars because of him. read more

Whiskey Yard - Martini - Piano Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

Great "trendy" atmosphere. Decent drinks. Food was really, really, really not good. Service was soooooo slow. I ordered a pretty basic chicken dish. The chicken was wayyyyy overcooked - to the point where it was really difficult to swallow. The risotto that came with it was wayyyyy undercooked - to the point where it was crunchy.To top it off, we waited over 1.5 hrs to get our food, and it was thoroughly underwhelming. They charge a premium ($40-$65/plate) and provide subpar service and, at best, mediocre food. Spoke to the manager and she offered us a slice of cheesecake on a $150 bill. Laughable. I will never spend another dollar here, ever again. read more

Initial reaction about the decor is that it's clearly owned by the same people as agave and Rye and SOB steakhouse. Unusual and eclectic. We sat in the outside patio. This location used to be a rusty bucket and the patio reflects that. Nothing special was done to update this to the new restaurant short of adding and fancy furniture. Little disappointing in the patio vibe. We were there for lunch and I ordered their house salad with chicken and my husband got the flatbread. The salad and the bread were both good. We also had a espresso martini, and my husband sampled one of the bourbons. Both were as expected. Nothing over the top. I know it's expensive to go out to eat anywhere, but this price point for lunch was more than it should be for the portion of food. $20 for my half portion salad with chicken and another $18 for my husband's flatbread pizza which only served one person is outrageous for lunch. Add in the two drinks and gratuity we were at $80. For lunch! Nice but we probably won't be back. I don't quite get the hype, or why they need valet parking. I'd rather hit a Jeff Ruby's. read more

We had the half plate house salad, half plate of lobster risotto, and crab crusted halibut. The bartender was accommodating as well. We asked for a manhattan that included Cherry Heering liquor that had been discontinued and he made it for us anyway. My hubby enjoyed an Ohio whiskey flight on the recommendation by our waitress. For dessert we drank an old fashion and an espresso martini made with their well bourbon, old Forrester 100. It was one of the best bourbon made espresso martinis I have had. We will have to come back at night when the ambiance is a little different with piano. read more

Awesome ambiance! Fun flights! Staff was great giving ideas and sharing what their favorites were.

The food was great! I went for brunch on a Sunday and there were roughly 2 other tables in the place. We were seated near the bar, and greeted by our server pretty quickly. They do not serve Iced coffee, but they do serve some delicious courses. We started with the braised beef poutine and it was nicely presented with crispy fries and well-seasoned beef. My entree was a the traditional breakfast with two eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. The potatoes were perfect - crispy and seasoned. Hearty portions. The service was well-delivered. Josephine had a certain spunk about her that made the dark, overly designed interior much more inviting. She did have some unusual scripting for a brunch - introducing herself as a guide for our journey. I'm getting bacon and eggs, so that could be tailored a bit. Would visit again for the food alone. Key Lime Pie is one of the best I've had around the area. Overall, food will bring me back and the slight bit of over-the-top decor and service will keep me giggling while I'm there. read more

It was a very busy Saturday night which led to a poor dining experience to include: Appetizers before DRINKS, soggy salads with underwhelming dressing flavors, undercooked ribeye with awful recovery (time to correct) only heated up, dry crumbly cheesecake, NO management stopping by to inquire or make things right, slow service. Poor acoustics and very noisy. Very pricey for such a terrible experience. Will not be back! read more
