    Very friendly service, but otherwise a pretty typical Irish (?) sports bar. Dark and loud and sticky.

    Always at Whiskey Tavern: great music, friendly bartenders, pickleback shots, mini screw top champagne bottles, a photobooth, and JENGA.

    It's called Whiskey Tavern. So if you want to shoot Jager bombs all night, you're in the wrong place.

    Catch the game in their back patio area. One of the best bars in Chinatown. Jeremy would pass, but I'd take a pickle back. #Linsanity.

    The pickle back and spicy back sound terrible but are really delicious. Shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice (or spicy pickle juice)
