Featuring a comprehensive selection of more than 200 whiskeys alongside what has been called the country’s best burger, Village Whiskey is an instant classic. Envisioned by Chef Garces as a spot where he and his team could enjoy a drink and a snack after a long night in the kitchen, the restaurant’s focal point is the central bar that is home to their near-encyclopedic catalogue of Chef Garces’ favorite spirit, whiskey. Our able bartenders shake and stir classic and contemporary cocktails in a space evocative of a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Our Whiskey Menu can be enjoyed with our Award-Winning Village Burger or Tasting Menus offered in our more intimate Dining & Tasting Room

    Village Whiskey provided the perfect December date night experience! We stopped in after an afternoon of museum hopping. It was happy hour and the prices were great. We loved the meat and cheese platter - the smoked cheese was delicious. For our entrees we had the Village burger with duck fat fries and the steak frites. Both were excellent. Our Manhattan and Old Fashioned were top notch. Atmosphere was lively and the service was excellent!
