Had a fantastic time at this bar! The selection of high-end whiskeys was impressive, and everything we tried was outstanding—smooth, complex, and perfectly served. What really made the place special was chatting with the General Manager Chris and his team, who were incredibly knowledgeable about all things whiskey. They shared great insights, recommendations, and stories that made the experience even more enjoyable and educational. The service and atmosphere was top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality whiskey and great conversation. We’ll definitely be back!
Great atmosphere, tasty flan dessert. Insanely slow service, friendly staff. Cucumber drink was very tasty, the other craft cocktail was very bitter. 2 drinks and dessert $60 yikes.
If you are looking for a spot that actually values a good atmosphere, Salt & Whiskey is it. I stopped by on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and relaxed the environment was—perfect for actually having a conversation without shouting over a crowd. The highlights of the night: The Old Fashioned: Perfectly balanced and easily one of the best I’ve had lately. Grand Drink: Bold and well-crafted. The Flan: Do not skip this. It was the perfect finish to the evening. Great service and a solid drink menu. This is definitely a hidden gem for anyone who wants a sophisticated, low-key night out.
Stopped in for a dog friendly nightcap on their festively decorated patio. Staff is fantastic, super accommodating even when we were still on the patio after 10 PM close. Fantastic array of whiskeys/bourbons. We did not do food but they had a robust menu. I could have stayed out on their patio for hours people watching and sipping drinks!
This is the best team of Salt and Whiskey thus far! Chris and Tyler are thoroughly knowledgeable. Julian and Erika provide a sense of familiarity that feels like you are talking to an old friend. Whilst John and Bailey move with efficiency to let you know that they care for you and your time! This place has the vibes of a real whiskey bar and stands the test of time to prove it. Thank you for all that you did for my family and I.
