BarFly's Review of Whiskey Soda Lounge

All old-school bar food—Rocky Mountain oysters, flopsweaty peanuts, those floating eggs—is pretty much based on a dare, so we right away grok the frighteningly spicy poached squid, the thai chitlins, the fish-sauce wings. The menu items are unpronounceable, possibly Klingon (Tam Saep Muu, Krabong Thawt)—all the better to slur through them—and are all designed for mid-evening drunks by a chef (Pok Pok’s Andy Ricker) who’s tossed salad on the Today show.

The exposed ducts, the green-slatted walls and bare-pine benches, are a mix of eco-chic and idealized Thai shack; the drinks ping-pong slightly pricily among trusty Sazeracs, Asian plum wines, and nouveau-fusiony conconctions.

Avoid happy hour, during which middle-aged suburbanites nervously eye Pok Pok’s cross-street tent party, and show up instead for the neighborhoody white-collar-hipster vibe after dark: tech chic, local service industry, the more itinerant of the Hawthorne crowd. The place is new enough that nobody will give you the stinkeye for knowing nothing of the menu, and so you can develop your own quiet, obscure expertise and slowly, quietly colonialize a barstool.

Hours:
5pm-12am Sunday-Thursday
5pm-1am Friday and Saturday

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Were you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.

  6. BarFly staff may choose to break these rules at their own discretion.
