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

Try the soup! I also had the poached eggs with bubble and squeak—fantastic! These with a pint of English ale set me up for the day. Happy New Year!

We have been many times. Food is excellent, service is great, atmosphere is comfortable. The ONLY issue I have with this location is that the cooking exhaust system does not seem to be working fully. The system isn’t running with full negative pressure and our clothes and hair smell like the restaurant when we leave. It should be rebalanced to fix the problem. Please! Thank you!

It has been years since we had a meal at Village Whiskey PHL. Tonight was as good as we remembered. We ate in the bar area even though we had a reservation in the dining room. A great vibe and our server was attentive and the meal was more casual. It was nice sitting in a bar and not having one or more flat screens staring at us. I do appreciate a good sports bar but this was a nice change of pace. Look forward to our next visit.
