Hidden gem in Five Points with an incredible whiskey selection and unassuming food. Extremely fair prices with great service. A mix of locals and students found here on the weekends. Pool tables, golden tee, and skeet ball for the bonus. A must for the bourbon lover.

I had quite an unusual experience here this evening. I ordered the Old Fashioned, pictured before I took a sip. I asked the bartender if this was a typical serving size as this really looked like a shot, not a drink. She said that it needed more ice!, but yes, this was the 2oz pour that they offered.
I then believe she saw me taking a picture of the empty well bourbon bottle, she then appeared with what I think was bourbon and water telling me that the original drink was short but she did not want to embarrass whomever had made the original drink. I was a bit confused as to what "normal" is supposed to be here. Probably best to stick to beer here($1.85 Miller High Life). The wine list upstairs was decent, downstairs was lacking.
The bartender was trying her best, but lots of opportunities here for the management to address, support and train the staff.
Drinks were good, but a bit pricey for the area/availability. The bar was crowded so it was quite hard to order drinks with only two bartenders focusing on the bar itself, not those seated elsewhere. Would appreciate more seating. Enjoyable atmosphere.
