Burnt Barrel Whisky Bar

Unaffordable for a night out. Might be good for a one time only, but as the old saying goes, if you have to ask the prices, you can't afford it.Atmosphere is so so, gets too loud, too quickly to actually be able to enjoy, so we had one drink and left.

Thank god - a place in Monroe where you can get a proper drink and still enjoy a local vibe. Highly recommend.

We have been waiting to go in and finally made it this evening!! This place was worth the wait... Max and Molly are amazing, and the cocktails are some of the best you can get! We started with a smoked old fashioned (special for the week) and then let Max pick our second cocktail! He was very knowledgeable and we were so happy with the drink and all the insight he shared. Really excited to watch this place grow. A true GEM in Monroe

Great atmosphere friendly people. Great selection of whiskeys in bourbons. Nice cozy atmosphere with games and reading material galore.

This is a great spot in Monroe that survived Covid and has come out the other side even better. Top shelf, drinks, and one of the best liquor and inventories in the business. Bartenders are friendly and other business, definitely worth checking out. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is awesome.

This is my new favorite place. Cool retro vibe. Great seating areas with books, games and puzzles. Fabulous drink menu with an impeccable bartender! The music set the mood. Can't wait to go back.

This place is awesome!! I wish I took a photo of the "around the campfire" cocktail, it was absolutely delicious! Michael the bartender is very knowledgeable and a delight. Definitely make some time to visit this place!

Great late night spot in a sleepy town. Friendly helpful staff. Great for drinks and meeting up with friends.

Great hangout spot! Fantastic cocktails and relaxed vibe- will definitely go back! Fun night in Monroe

So much potential that just was not met unfortunately. Paid "craft" prices for drinks you could get at a dive bar (sour mix rather than a true egg white whisky sour, huge chunks of raw ginger floating on the top of my drink). We were told they only serve whisky because beer "sucks." That's fine, I am a huge whisky fan, but running a bar on only whisky is very difficult if you can't back it up with amazing whiskies. If you are going to say you'll serve the best, then actually serve the best! The drinks were sub-par and so was the charcuterie board (one random Brussels sprout, turkey sandwich meat, one random date, etc.) I walked in and saw the potential of the backbar, but was ultimately disappointed by the quality of the cocktails. The bones are there and this has potential to be a really cool craft place in Monroe which would be awesome! But, as someone who has worked in the wine & spirits industry for 5+ years, specifically whisky from distilleries to distributors, I was disappointed by the craftsmanship of the drinks.
