I went wrong place twice already because don't look like bar from the outside. Pretty good cocktails, fun vibe, very comfortable and great music.

The original. The Whistler is the forefather of any and all decent places opened in the last decade plus where you could get a good drink AND not break the bank. The main reason you can still get a good drink for under 12. Small, often crowded, and not for people who don't love music. If you do, on the other hand, like good to amazing drinks in a real bar with a rotating selection of cool, sometimes out there music alongside occasional interesting panels or events, The Whistler is perfect for you. The people are friendly (so long as you aren't a jerk) and fun, they're an amazing part of the local community, and the owners are legit \the good guys\.
I'm glad I waited! I got the hot dog with the corn on it with the butter bread. It was delicious. I would definitely go again! All the workers were super nice as well!
Went there on a Thursday night around 6.30pm and the place was already packed. We signed on the waiting list and went somewhere else for drinks and they called us about an hour later to tell us our table was ready. It was a shared table but we didn't mind at all. This place was great, super fun atmosphere, live music, beautiful Christmas decorations and amazing food. We had a couple beers, we had the Nachos and a pizza. Everything tasted incredible. Great combination of flavors in their pizzas and the nachos were so rich! The portions are unbelievable. We had to take some leftovers home because it was so much food. And I loved having them the next day! Super friendly staff, great place to enjoy a nice meal and drinks any day of the week. 100% recommended!
Ok, let's talk about the Manhattan here. It's probably one of the best I've had in the city. No surprise since they've been rated as one of the best cocktail bars several years running. They had live music and a pretty big outdoor space in the back if want to take a break from the music, sit down, and enjoy your drink.
