Awesome whiskey bar. It looks like a great, open air bar from the street they keep the windows open on nice days. Inside, it's got a modern, rustic feel. The food was amazing the burger was delicious and I'd recommend the hot chicken sandwich. They have a very extensive whiskey selection and some seasonal cocktails. They even purchase barrels of specific whiskies and sell the bottles in the restaurant. When we were there (8/2018), they had a Woodford Reserve bottle available for $50. I tasted it and it was very good. I'd recommend going here for a great bite to eat and to try a whiskey you may not be able to buy outright.

Deliberately came at 5:45 to beat an evening crowd, place was about a quarter full and noise wasn't a problem. Got the fried chicken dinner with the AMAZING grilled asparagus doused in vinaigrette, pecans pickled rhubarb, the chopped lettuce/veggie salad (pleasantly light). Fried chicken was pleasantly moist with flavorful batter. The honey butter that came with the biscuits could have used more honey, but still tasty. Companion got the evening special, crab cakes with pesto and apple relish; he said they were very good. Our server Amy was very good and checked on us periodically to see if we wanted anything. An enjoyable meal! ? Note: On this May evening the front windows were open to the street, allowing road noise from Shelby Street; it wasn't a big problem for us but might be for some if seated too near the window.

However, there are moments when the constantly changing drink menu doesn't quite meet expectations. The chicken sandwich, although still delicious, isn't as impressive as it once was. Additionally, the rest of the menu seems somewhat overpriced. Despite this, the atmosphere and the friendly staff make it a spot that's certainly worth visiting (and coming back to).
