Editorial Review for Whiskey's Food & Spirits – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Early in the evening, Whiskey's caters to the after-work crowd, but later it becomes a popular hangout for Boston's collegiate set. The ratio of men to women tends to make this place a classic pick-up joint on the weekends. Given the clientele, bottles of beer and shots prove popular. Peckish patrons enjoy standard bar food (tater skins, wings) and barbecue (meaty ribs, pulled pork).

i was in whiskeys this past weekend 2 nights in a row....took some friends who were visiting there.....the 2nd night to pre game and say hello to our favorite bartender jordan- always have a good time....have a good beer selection and for being in the back bay location....drink prices are reasonable. Bartenders are always very friendly.....and not bad to look at either. We love jordan.....always remembers my name when i come in - nice touch. Highly recommend...

Pros: service, beer

Cons: little crowded late night

On a recent trip to Boston for work, 12 of us went to Whiskeys for dinner. When we walked through the door, we were met by a bouncer who told my co worker to remove his Yankee baseball cap if he wanted to stay. He refused, laughed it off, and we went to eat. Everything we ordered was overcooked, but we were so hungry we ate what we got. We then went to the bar, and trying to get one of the 5 bartenders to serve us was tough. We are not 21 year old trouble makers, but are in our mid 40s trying to enjoy ourselves, and are excellent tippers. Approximately two hours later, my friend with the baseball cap was surrounded by bouncers and told he had to leave. We asked for an explanation why we had to leave, but they refused to give us a reason. We left without incident. We then went to The Pour House, which is next door, and we were treated like gold.
