Whiskey River Ames

We arrived at the restaurant at 11:00 pm in search of a drink after traveling from New Jersey through Minneapolis. Although the kitchen was closed, the bartender made us some wings and wished us a happy anniversary (37). The atmosphere seemed more crowded and louder than expected for that time of night, which was not ideal, but we appreciated the extra effort. Thank you!

I absolutely adore this bar, dating all the way back to my college years! They have a fantastic selection of drinks.

I tried the wings on Monday night and they were delicious. The BBQ sauce paired perfectly with the crispy french fries. The restaurant also offers entertainment options like pool tables, darts, and multiple TV screens.

Good bar for people watching, drinks were strong, the juke box presented unique, beautiful bartenders who were attentive and some really nice boiled pommes around 10 o'clock! we were up to 130 and blew $100 plus gave our server $20 we come back.

Every single time we've gone here we've gotten overcharged. We've had several more beers/drinks added to our tab than what we had. The first time we went someone else paid and didn't think the total was right. When he got the itemized receipt we realized they added 4 more drinks than what we actually got. People have told us to watch out for this but we didn't realize it was such an issue until it happened 3 times in a row. The bartender always apologizes and says it was a mistake made by someone else, but I don't understand how so much extra can be added to a tab with no explanation. We only had one bartender the whole time so why would someone else be adding multiple drinks to our tab? Bad business.
