The Whiskey Jar

I absolutely love this place!! The bartenders were amazing. My wife and I were celebrating our 2 year anniversary and they gave us a complimentary first round! I had the smoked old fashioned and my wife had smoked apple mule and both were wonderful. My wife had the chicken sandwich with fries and it was so dam good lol I had the cheeseburger salad woth goat cheese ranch and it was simple but tasted wonderful. So many selections of burbon/whisky, scotch, and beer! The bathrooms were clean aswell as the restaurant. They have outside seating and there open late which it kinda turns into a little club vibe. I highly recommend to stop at this restaurant every time your at the downtown mall.

We went here for the live music. Special shout out to Matthew O'Donnell for the invigorating energy and amazing music. Spent hours in the place just for the music. Its mind blowing how many instruments he played! Its ljke a magician who gets out a different instrument every two minutes. Unexpectedly, the food was also quite nice. The vegetarian burger might feel slightly dry, but less so than most other american burgers. The hummus and veggies were great and healthy. Although, I wonder from the huge size of the veggies whether they are gmo. The hummus tho has a brilliant taste! Moreover, one of the most lively place in the downtown. Love it!

I've lived in Charlottesville for nearly five years and have been to The Whiskey Jar a handful of times. It never disappoints. Excellent cocktail menu, always excellent service and good food. Whenever I have out-of-town guests, I make sure they get the local flavor and Whiskey Jar is always on the itinerary.

Very cool vibe! Plus it has fantastic BBQ, amazing whiskey and craft beer choices and great service. Will definitely go back!

I’ve been here before to go to the bar and enjoy live music, but didn’t realize they had an entire robust menu! On top of that, the food is excellent! Got the beet salad and it was very good! Going to try the chicken sandwich next and will update if I do.
