The burners and my chicken club were so reasonably priced, I also had a cocktail and kennel was barely $40. My chicken portion was very generous. We had kids with us and they have high babies. They threw their dinner all over the floor by the waitress was very gracious about it. Deposits beings Saturday night it was still appropriate for little kids. Can’t wait to return without them next time, lol!

It has been years since we had a meal at Village Whiskey PHL. Tonight was as good as we remembered. We ate in the bar area even though we had a reservation in the dining room. A great vibe and our server was attentive and the meal was more casual. It was nice sitting in a bar and not having one or more flat screens staring at us. I do appreciate a good sports bar but this was a nice change of pace. Look forward to our next visit.

I had an amazing experience! The service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious, with a great selection to choose from. But what really stood out was the atmosphere - good vibes all around! And a special shoutout to the jerk wings... they were SUPERB! Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. I'd highly recommend them! Overall, I'd definitely be back for more. Great job, team!
