5/30/25 10:25 pm I’m so disappointed. I’ve never felt so unwelcomed. I’ve never felt….. So I walk into The Little Whiskey, I sit down, I’m wearing a Yankee hat as the only black man in the room. I was in this same situation, in this same room, during the 2024 World Series and I had so so so much fun, felt so welcomed but tonight….. As an experienced bartender, I was so disappointed. Before taking a sip of my beer and after feeling bullied by patrons at this bar, I decided to leave. I honestly was hoping that the bartender would restore order. Once I took 3 steps outside of the bar I realized that the only person who’s night was adjusted was my own; as if I was not welcomed to began with….. I have so much more to say….it sucks to feel like nothing will change. If you’ve read this far into thus review, don’t go
Just visited The Little Whiskey for the first time, and almost immediately it became one of my favorite Brooklyn bars. We were the first to arrive after they opened, and were greeted by Dash. Dash is a tremendous bartender. Charming, funny, and very knowledgeable about the whiskey selection there. And that selection is fantastic, especially given the size of the place. The bar stock focus is definitely whiskey, as the name implies, and they have many of my favorites. Very reasonable prices too. Not long before locals began to arrive, and the vibe was super friendly and fun. Between the selection, the locals, and Dash, it was one of the best bar experiences I've had in Brooklyn. I'll be heading back there as frequently as I'm able to. Slainte!
Landon and chandler gave such a great experience. Loved the local bushwick vibes of the little whisky as a tourist!!! Especially loling with Landon, he had funny jokes
Great little bar with plenty to offer. Bartender was a really good chap too. Recommend for a fun afternoon hangout or football Sunday.
Obsessed with the Little Whiskey. Not too fancy, not too divey. They’re always playing good sports or movies on the tv. It also feels like there’s always the right amount of people—it’s never overly crowded to the point that you can’t find a seat but it’s also never empty to the point that it feels boring or lame. Our boy Landon who works the bar is a god-tier bartender.
The bartenders are great! Colin and Alan both make it entertaining. I first learned of spicy pickle backs here. $6 dollar beer/shot specials. This is a fantastic family venue 😉
Lil Whisk is the best gay country sports bar in Brooklyn! Best boys in town.
