“ This place is an absolute blast. They have a huge bar, a nicely separated band area, and a fairly decent outdoor patio. Karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a pretty good lineup of bands every Friday and Saturday. Some of the best people watching in the north suburbs, and great place to hang with local characters and knuckleheads like myself. I’ve never had the food since I generally go later in the eve, but a fun place to land after a good bar hop. Stop by during the holidays and you might see the north shore’s favorite elf! ”

“ Great atmosphere, music Playlist was great. They informed us that live band would be playing, but we couldn't stay long enough. Service was good, food was good and plentiful. Owner was very nice to come over have a shot with us, even took pics with us. Highly recommend ”
“ We came to Whiskey River on a Saturday night to hear music and have a few drinks. Parking was tough. We had to drive around the side streets. However, it was totally worth it because the atmosphere and the music were a lot of fun. Even the owner came around and played pool with us. ”
“ Sophia is the best most affable person. So friendly and welcoming. Makes Fridays a perfect stop in for happy hour. Katie- is the most bubbly personality that makes Whiskey wonderful to be at. Jen- Makes stopping in during the day a riot of fun. Best bar in Glenview by far. Where you can enjoy the outdoors, play pool, play music, and be have a hoot with whoever is running the bar that. Thanks to the staff. Raises for all of them! ”
“ Stopped by on a whim, and was really impressed !!! The service was really great & the food was over the top !!! The cheese curds were the really crunchy kind, and they were cooked perfectly. The chili was really tasty, too. The main attraction was the Meatloaf... a huge slab of tasty homemade meatloaf with corn and mashed potatoes & brown gravy. The portion was enough for 3 meals easily. Some of the curds got dipped in the gravy, and it was insanely tasty. When we were there, the School of Rock band played. We just stopped by for lunch and did not expect to see live music. It was heartwarming to see people living out their rock and roll dreams !!! At 9pm, a Greatful Dead cover band was scheduled to play until 12:30 a.m., bummed we missed that, to be honest. So, to recap: this place is awesome. Do not skip it if you're in the area !!! ”
“ Very interesting and unique place. Great atmosphere with a food selection that fits all tastes. I have the pot roast panini with sweet potato fries. Perfect!! ”
