About this restaurant

Charming
Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour

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

One of the employees - I’m assuming she was the manager…banana clip, curly hair, glasses - ruined most of our experience. She was overwhelmed, exasperated and rude most of the time we were there, clearly unable to handle her job. We spent no longer than 75 minutes at our table for two, had two whisky flights, three cocktails and three menu items between us and she acted like every table of two there had overstayed their welcome. I don’t know if the booking system had issues or what, but she inconvenienced several customers rather than just handling herself. Also, to add insult to injury - our food took longer than it should according to our waiter, who said they overcooked the bread. We were understanding and not disturbed by this. Our prosciutto and stone fruit toast also did not come out as ordered. I asked for the onions on the side, as I don’t like onions. Anyway, I wasn’t even put off by these things - what food we did get as ordered and our cocktails were amazing. The inconsiderate and unprofessional worker is what ruined it all.

I went here with my friends to celebrate my birthday, and we all raved about it afterwards. We're so happy we found this place. The candlelit tables and old library feel of the dining room is gorgeous and makes it perfect for a romantic date night. As whiskey enthusiasts, one friend and I were pleased with their happy hour old fashioned, and I'd love to try a flight or some of their nicer bourbons and ryes sometime. The burgers are good, but huge, and they fall apart. Two of my friends got the short rib and cheese fries and loved that as their dinner. I'll definitely be back for date night sometime or to celebrate another special occasion.
Village Whiskey PHLResponded on June 2, 2025
Thank you for choosing to celebrate your birthday with us! We’re thrilled to hear you and your friends had such a memorable evening and that the ambiance, cocktails, and dishes resonated with you. We’d be delighted to guide you through our bourbon and rye selections on your next visit. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback on the burger and are so glad the short rib and cheese fries were a hit. We look forward to welcoming you back!
