Levi & Lilac’s Whiskey Room

Short story: I can't wait to go back for more amazing cocktails and excellent whiskey glazed Brussels sprouts. Long story: I finally got to visit Levi & Lilac's! It's been on my list for a while now and I would say it was the worth the wait. So, if you're waiting, stop! Just go! This trip, I went the appetizers route. Next trip, I might get a few different heavier options. However, I will always get the whiskey glazed Brussels. The pretzels were a little harder than my preference. The basket of fries was very hot. The Brie was pretty good as well and they definitely serve enough of it for a table to share. Whiskey: Well I actually ordered an Apple pie martini because it caught my eye on their featured menu. I then (mistake on my part) ordered two smoked manhattan's. Those were great. I preferred the smoked vs not smoked. And all were decent or standard sized glasses. The atmosphere is perfect for recapping your day or catching up with people. There's a lot of space and plenty of seating options. There's definitely a cozy feel to this place.

I was in town visiting my family. My sister and I stopped here on Mother's Day for dinner and drinks.The drinks and the Brussel sprouts were yummy and highly recommend. I got the peanut butter and spicy jam burger. The burger was good but wasn't a fan of the combination of ingredients. I would get a different type of burger when I am back in town.Plenty of parking and good location.

The last time I was in this building it was the Degage Jazz lounge. I remember roaming thru a few floors with the Jazz playing in the background and some local musicians in the house. I don't know why that incarnation didn't make it. Now its Levi and lilacs but the building itself has over a hundred year history. Check out the website if you want to read up on it including a few in-house ghosts. It's a whiskey bar. And mostly appetizers and hamburgers. I'm not a big fan of beef so most of the menu does not appeal to me. However we did get the baked brie appetizer and on Mondays they do half off all pours including flight size pours so that's a great thing. If you open up the whiskey menu it is very daunting. Probably over 100 different types of whiskey. I'm not a whiskey person but I'll try anything once. Or maybe twice. It's got a kind of dark romantic type atmosphere although when we went in there was a live musician and there was a couple of large groups in there. I ordered a glass of wine because I didn't see me drinking a whole glass of whiskey but I did drink some of my man's flight and I will say for me the Japanese whiskeys were the must try. The baked brie was presented nicely and they even offered more baguette bread when I ate it all and still had cheese left. Unless you're into burgers though you will need to find a complete meal somewhere else. I think that's about all it's lacking. Nice friendly attentive bartenders. This is not a cheap spot. We spent about $50 for the brie, half price whiskey flight, 1 sazarac, a glass of wine, and beer for me. It is definitely worth it for a nice date night or just to come for happy hour which is from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m daily. I would definitely try to come during happy hour or on Mondays when the whiskey is half off so you don't break your pockets

Flipped coins based on Yelp selections in the area. Very quaint property with the different areas. To me, that was the biggest plus. Even though the ceiling height was fairly high in the room, acoustics were poor as it was quite noisy. Food was decent, and prices were a bit steep based on portion size and food quality. Not totally impressed.

Food - really good for the selections that they have!! Just need a few more options.Service - never had nothing but great serviceAmbiance - I'm a sucker for a cozy atmosphere and this place nails it.

Absolutely amazing service and food. This is a great place with an excellent whiskey selection and small but great menu. The place is nice and trendy. The waitresses and bar tenders are well versed on the whiskeys and food. Very small place but makes it even more exclusive. I highly recommend.

Burgers always a hit, drinks are excellent, tonight however, the entertainment was just plain mean. Only table clapping for Dave Carpenter, tried to tip and suggested Tom Petty. Stopped his set, instead of a nod or shake of his head indicating he knew Petty songs, he stopped, announced to the whole bar that he was "singing". As a parent of a performer in a bar setting, to call out a tipper for interrupting his set was just rude. So close to reaching down and taking my tip back, but I love the bar itself too much to cause a scene.

Great atmosphere keeps this from being a 1 star. Service was poor. Tables around us, that were sat after us , were served and gone before we even finished. Even an "internet interruption" delayed our drinks. That is likely a server issue. Burgers had very little flavor outside of the toppings and still weren't great and full of flavor. The fries were cooked well but, again, rather bland for seasoned fries. The drinks were a mixed review. Spiced Pear Mule was really good but my New York Sour (my favorite cocktail) was probably one of the worst I've had. Again, things just seemed rather bland. Likely our first and last time visiiing this establishment.

Limited menu, so I got the Babe N Blue burger with fries and the house Chardonnay. Burger was good and cooked to order. Fries were cold and dry, and I only ate a few. Chardonnay was warm due to a broken chiller and was offered ice. Why the bar didn't ice down their white wine after the chiller broke is beyond common sense. Atmosphere was LOUD and we had to constantly shout at each other. We were seated in a room off of the bar, and our seats were cold, hard metal chairs. I was given the excuse by the server that there were several large groups causing the food to be cold, but that's not an excuse, every meal should be prepared to the same high quality. No comp on substandard food or wine, never returning to this high-priced burger joint!

This was an unexpected stop on a weekend away from home to meet friends. The ambience was wonderful and the service was great. We were entertained by a two piece music duo and a two man bartender team! I was quite tempted to just tell our friends to come find us there . We'll definitely stop in again!
