About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for creative cocktails
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

    Very cool bar with a great vibe! The space is split into two sides—one with a lively bar atmosphere and the other more laid-back and dining-focused, which gives you options depending on your mood. A major highlight is their wide selection of whiskeys—definitely a whiskey lover’s spot. I went with a flight and it didn’t disappoint. But the real star? The burger. The bartender mentioned it was voted best in the county twice, and after trying it, I can absolutely see why. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Love that place. It just feels right and there is hardly anything to complain about. The food is delicious, those burgers are the bomb. The servers are very polite, respectful and helpful. Unlike other places, they will seat you even if you party is partially there. A+

    We were obscenely early for our 4pm reservation and the good folks at VW were gracious enough to seat us early. The menu offers delicious happy hour bites and elevated comfort food entrees. The service was spectacular and the food arrived to our table hot and much faster than I thought it would! Our burgers were juicy and cooked to perfection. This was our first visit, bye certainly not our last!
    Village Whiskey PHLResponded on April 1, 2025
    We're delighted to hear that our team was able to accommodate your early arrival! It’s especially great to know that your burgers were cooked to perfection and that the service exceeded your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more fantastic experiences with us at Village Whiskey.

    I liked the new dining room even though it got very noisy. But food was disappointing. The hamburger came out well done even though we ordered it medium. The French fries were not hot more tepid than hot. Service would have been better if they had 2 waitresses instead of 1 covering the entire place. The waitress was quite good though but she need another server.
    Village Whiskey PHLResponded on April 1, 2025

    Lack of hostess, slow service, and mid quality food. However you do get quality drinks and no mess ups.
