Whiskey's Smokehouse

Don't bother if you're Southern. On a recent bachelor party, we went to Whiskeys for a few early drinks on Thursday night. However, on Saturday night, evidently the bouncers don't let Southerners in the bar. Ironic, considering I live in New York, and most my friends live in large cities elsewhere, but sporting GA and NC licenses doesn't fly here so take your "Confederate" money elsewhere to one of the many great bars around Boylston.…

WINGS!. I have been here a couple of times because of the $.15 wings. I love buffalo wings and I love them cheap. I also love the set up here with the buckets for the wings and a whole roll of paper towels. You need that ish man!

But I went here last night and got a Newcastle and chicken fingers because I was in a rush. The chicken fingers were banging. They are the kind with the kind of crunchy batter with like little pepper specks in them. I am sick of those breaded kind that dry out too much. You know the kind you find at amusement parks and movie theaters. Not a big fan of those. I also got them half priced because between 4 and 7 they have half priced apps which include the chicken fingers, boneless buff wings, nachos, quesadilla and loaded potato skins. Pretty good deal.

Only down side is the beer is pretty expensive. Well that's what you get for going out in the Back Bay.…

No Thanks. Let's be honest here, this place is a dive bar with nice tvs. The food is ok at best, the drinks are average and the service is horrible. As previous reviews have stated, security is downright rude and the servers and bartenders don't have a clue what they're doing.

I've given this place several chances, both when they were busy and when they were slow, and they just can't seem to get much of anything right.

The strange thing is that the Pour House a few doors down is owned by the same people and yet the atmosphere is completely different.

I just don't understand why anyone would go to Whiskey's when there are so many places nearby that are so much better in EVERY aspect (Dillon's, Sonsie, Cactus Club...). It's just not worth my time or money.…

Whiskey's Never Again. Just this past week, during a pivotal game between the Patriots and Jets, I went to Whiskeys because I knew there would be empty seats because the other great sports bars in the area (i.e. McGreevy's, Champions) were already packed. I asked for a seat by a tv which took 2 or 3 times for the hostess to get it right and finally was sat facing a nice flat screen. One problem though, the Bruins game was on. Now if someone was watching the blowout (4-0 bruins end of the 2nd period) I would have let them finish. But since no one was watching, I first asked the waitress to put the Pats game on and she said it would come on when the game started, which it didn't. Then I asked the hostess to change and she said she would get the manager to change it, which she didn't. Finally I asked the waitress again and she said that we had to keep it on since it was the only TV with the Bruins on, of which no one was watching.

I asked her to get the manager and explained to her the first rule of business, the customer is always right. Well, next thing you know, the manager comes over, not alone, but with his muscle, in case things got out of line and explained to me that I had made the waitress cry. he said he would get to it when he could which was b.s. because I saw him yucking it up with some young ladies while im trying to watch football. Not only that, but they have freakin Soulja Boy ,'Supaman dat ...' blaring in the background when clearly everyone wants to hear the game.

Basically when it all comes down to it, Whiskeys has gotten a little to high and mighter for themselves, after winning a contest put on by Maxim in which they were racked #1 neighborhood bar, whatever that means. The food has also gone downhill. The next time you will find me in Whiskeys will be when I am unemployed and can scrounge up $2.00 for a plate of 20 wings. Other than that, I was truly disappointed and you guys lost a great supporter of your bar.…
