    What a cute little place I never knew existed! In the back of this local liquor store is a nice patio with fireplaces and area to enjoy a cocktail and chat with friends. We came as a date night and the drinks were delicious and service was friendly. The weather was very nice and some people even had their fireplace on! Patio is only open at certain days/times so check ahead of

    What a quaint and wonderful store! Brea (hope I spelled that right) was AWESOME! He has a cool vibe and instantly made us feel welcomed. He was extremely helpful as well. There is a good selection of products and we quite pleased to find a particular beer we had been searching for. We checked out the unique bar area and totally look forward to going back when it's open! They do have a military discount. Highly recommend this business.

    Hidden gem located in Brandon, right next to a Publix. This outdoor space is everything I've been dreaming of/wanted in Florida since moving here. I moved from STL and this reminds me of the patios there, which is a great standard. Drinks are 10/10. I had the old fashioned (there are 200+ different whiskeys here) it's made with Elijah Craig, and it was fantastic. I then had the margarita which was made with fresh limes and it was also great. I finished off with a lager which I don't know the name of cuz I had the waiter surprise me and it was one of the best beers I've had in a while. I'd rate my experience a 10/10 overall. Atmosphere, drinks, service, ambiance, everything is what it needs to be here. I will definitely be coming here frequently. You should too!

    OK so I live in Brandon like 2 minutes from this place and I had no clue they had a Patio that has cocktails, beer, and more! It's hidden away behind the liquor store in a courtyard that is very reminiscent of Europe. The service was stellar and of course if you want to take some alcohol home, the store is right next door. I was impressed with my Old Fashioned ($10) and their selection of beers included a delicious Vanilla Stout that I ordered twice ($8 each). My guest enjoyed a Margarita ($12) with freshly squeezed juices, no sour mix crap. The vibe was very chill at the courtyard, plenty of shade and protected from most of Florida's elements, although you probably would have a hard time there on a summer stormy day, there was some covering from a balcony. The bar inside is even more quaint and very 1920s. I would totally chill in there and talk to the bartender pre-COVID days. It's still really great though, even if its just for a minute and I saw people in there having some fun. The crowd was older and more mature, which was enjoyable since I'm in my 30s now (lol). I'd go back and recommend you do! Hours change so check out their website for the latest and sometimes they do have events so be aware. I'll be back soon! We went ahead and purchased a bottle of Dos Hombres Mezcal on our way out because the price is the same as other liquor stores for it, so shop small always if possible!

    This is a really cool place with down to earth owners. The store offers a large variety of spirits and beverages. On Wednesday through Saturday they open their patio to customers for a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy tasty beverages. They allow you to bring in your own food as well. We've seen people bring in food from The local eatery near by. If you plan on going on Friday, get your food and get there early. This is a very popular place to hang out, listen to music and relax.

    Best outside whiskey bar in Florida. Incredible selection of bourbon and 1950s vibe!

    Located in the Winthrop Plaza in Riverview/ Brandon, I've purchased things from this hidden gem liquor store off and on throughout the years. This one is the only one that I've been to so far that has an in-store bar included. Walking in, this place looks like your typical local liquor store, but with nicer ceiling tiles due to their matching of shopping plaza's architectural theme. The selections are somewhat limited due to the tenant space size, but it serves it's purpose. They have a very knowledgeable staff when it comes to craft beer. They can give you stories/opinions up and down about most of the craft beer selections. They're also pretty good with their knowledge of wine too. They have a bar right next to it accessed via door would you lead you into a beautiful narrow indoor bar area which then leads through an exterior door into their side patio. This bar used to be open for their winetasting Wednesdays (Before the worldwide pandemic). There's a bar, however, has re-opened for Friday nights, and Saturday nights. If you purchase a bottle from their store, there is no corking fee if you choose to have a drink at their bar/bar patio area. It's worth a visit if you happened to be on this side of town and are looking for a low-key bar hang out for drinks with friends and/or significant other. Remember: wear your mask, practice social distancing, and wash your hands.

    This liquor store and patio bar is our FAVORITE! Great staff that welcome you so warmly each visit and the best bourbon, scotch and whiskey selection around. Eclectic patio with heaters and comfortable seating. Our favorite date night spot for drinks!

    This place is awesome...Chill, read a book, fellowship, smoke a cigar or whatver you wanna do. Hidden  I WILL BE BACK!!

Unfortunately, this visit was a major disappointment. We chose to sit in the speakeasy side, expecting a unique and elevated experience. Instead, the ambiance was extremely disappointing and fell far short of what we expected. The atmosphere simply wasn't what we had anticipated and did not add anything special to the evening. The service was lackluster throughout the night. Our server was pleasant, but we didn't see her nearly enough. Water refills were difficult to get, and we often found ourselves waiting until she eventually returned to our table before we could ask for anything. The food was equally disappointing. Dishes did not arrive together, leaving some people eating while others waited. My wife's entrée arrived cold and had to be sent back. The pork belly appetizer sounded promising, but the potatoes underneath were cold when it reached the table. The drinks were okay, but nothing memorable. What makes this experience particularly frustrating is that we brought friends based on how highly we spoke of our first visit. Instead of confirming our recommendation, the evening left us disappointed and wishing we had experienced the restaurant we remembered. We're giving three stars because we've had a much better experience here before and know the restaurant is capable of more. However, on this visit, the ambiance, service, and food quality simply did not meet expectations. I had to reduce to three stars.

For dinner, I chose the Rotisserie Farm Bird. The sauce it came on was good, but the breast was really dry. I used all the sauce on the plate for it, but I could still barely eat it. I had to ask a waitress passing by for some ranch (a trick, I learned to eat my mother-in-law's chicken). Of course the thigh and drum were better because they always are. The veggies on the plate were green beans, carrots, pearl onions, and potato. I don't know why people don't like their vegetables cooked anymore, but I don't like crunchy green beans. The carrots weren't exactly crunchy, but they weren't exactly cooked tender. They were definitely a weird texture. The (large) pearl onions were OK, but I would've preferred actual pearl onions rather than these that were kind of like the size of a shallot. The best thing on the plate was the potato and of course, not enough of it. I am diabetic so I did not try the whiskey cake. I'm sure it would have been delicious.

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.
