  • James Grant

This is one of my favorite places to go downtown. Their selection and drink options is second to none. I've never had a bad night if the Whiskey House is on the agenda. Service can be slower at times, but heavily dependent on staffing and how many patrons there are. Be patient and you will be rewarded with amazingly crafted beverages. More

Awesome bar, very reasonably priced compared to other bars in gas lamp district. We had the New York Strip which was tasty and cooked perfectly. We loved the Chesterfield Sofas and in fact spent our evening here as we loved it. Definitely worth the visit and will be somewhere we visit again without a doubt!!

  • Dizzy Izzy

We went there last night to end our 26th anniversary celebration. The staff didn't know it was our anniversary. We had fantastic bartenders, great drinks, and when we ordered a brownie dessert to go our bartender made us Amaretto whipped cream by hand!! I didn't get her name, but she's awesome!! More

  • Nancy Bravo

We were visiting for the weekend and decided to give this place a try for their amazing daily happy hour. We had several cocktails off their happy hour menu as well as a flight of Kentucky Bourbon. The service was great and the bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We will be back.

  • Brian Lobo

The ambience in this restaurant and bar is absolutely charming for an evening night out. The whiskey selection is extremely extensive and brings the atmosphere to life in how it is displayed. The cherry on top is the delicious food that can be enjoyed after a night of tasting the selections.

  • Dj Isolation Just the Hits

We were celebrating our anniversary and the waiter left and some new waiter took over. And we waited for drinks while everyone else served first This was really bad and disappointing . Overall just a good place to take a dump Very racial waiters I wouldn’t recommend this place More

  • Chelsea Longoria

Great selection of whiskey, nice atmosphere. Was a little too dark for me and our bartender wasn’t very friendly. Served us one drink and didn’t ask us again if we were ok or needed anything else, so we left to find another place. Ordered the Mac n cheese which was delicious! More

  • Craig Alexander

A hidden gem in Gaslamp quarter. The vibe is grown. With a wonderful play list in the background. Drinks are not over price for there selection. Didn't eat there , should have. Food looked good and people were enjoying it, from what I saw. Definitely a go to spot to get away.

  • Dante Volingrad

If you like great food and whiskey then you should try this place. The selection of whiskey alone was what drew me here. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, so if you are not sure where to start just someone. They have an awesome selection of flights as well. More

  • Tammy N

We had such a great time at The Whiskey House. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help guide you to a great whiskey tasting experience. We started with a variety of whiskey flights and settled for an old fashion. Everything was so good. Highly recommend.

  • Kary cluck

Love the selection. I actually found 5 they didn't have tonight But then found a couple not even on menu they did. But Everytime they went searching. Good atmosphere but could see how on a busy night could be loud. Food was good. Would definitely go back. More

  • Johori Chatman

We loved eating brunch at this charming spot while in San Diego. The food was flavorful, the music was dope, and Marco was the best! There was also a tall blonde lady (I didn't get her name) who was very hospitable and kind. I will definitely be back! More

  • laura altamira

Excellent place to discover your favorite whiskey. They have very interesting different kinds of whiskey flights according to your preference. I had a sample of Japanese whiskey. Their menu is very extensive. They have approx 2500 different

Just walking in to see the bottles on the shelf is impressive. Once they pull out the "bible" you know you're in for a good time. They were out of several of the more obscure whiskeys we tried to order, but the staff was great about it and

  • TJ Lingenfelter

It was a mistake to be there for happy hour. The happy hour drinks possibly were missing the main alcohol. The "Al Capone" tasted like straight vermouth and my friend's Moscow Mule was just ginger beer. I also got the "Smoking West" which

Insane selection of whiskey. We went to every large whiskey bar in SD area this weekend. The Whiskey House has 2X to 8X of any other. Wonderful atmosphere. Dark w leather couches and chairs and tables. Friendly staff. Solid food w all the

The Whiskey House is a dream for a whiskey & bourbon connoisseurs and drinkers alike. Nestled in the edge of The Gaslamp downtown quarter, this spot looks unassuming front the outside, but once you enter you are surrounded with bottles of

  • Christopher Gorrie

I loved The Whiskey House! It’s a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a few drinks. They have an immense whiskey list, so you’ve come to the right place if you’re a connoisseur. The lamb nachos and fried cauliflower were quite

  • Ben Jams

Happy hour tastings and grub. Our Scotland whiskey flight was great and enjoyed going through the regions and 12 year aged ones. However 1 oz pours felt like scraps and when I ordered a negroni after it was bright red and tasted like 90%

  • Daniel Cheung

A hole in the wall experience. Out of the way from the gas lamp area but close enough to bar hop. An amazing selection of whiskey. Check out their Whiskey Bible. The book is amazing with a grand selection of alcohol. The food is amazing

  • Alfredo Martinez

I have had better steak from Denny's & Norms. I ordered it medium rare & it was definitely nowhere near it. Not to mention, it lacked flavor that I had to use the ketchup to give it flavor...... yes, I used ketchup to make it better. If

As a neighbor it’s definitely a go to. Threw a little surprise birthday party here last week and the staff was so kind, the owner etc was informative. But last night is why I came bk to update my review. In all my years going here I’ve

  • jorge salazar

They’ll serve the higher paying customers before u. We went on our last night in San Diego, had a burnt burger that I ordered medium, wife’s pork chops were dry, Mac and cheese were ok and fries were very hard.

  • Eboni R.

WOW! What a great place! Such a massive collection of spirits. Delicious food, great ambiance and outstanding service! We fly in from Scottsdale often and this is our first stop!

  • Sarah Lough

Amazing happy hour from 5-7pm. The fries came out cold but the steak and salmon were amazing! And the wings are delicious. Great cocktails too! Try the whiskey sour

  • Tom Haas

Not much of a whiskey drinker but the food at brunch was amazing. You won’t regret the cinnamon roll pancakes—but split them they’re huge. I’ll be back! More

  • Matthew Tsou

Whiskey, whiskey everywhere, and every drop you CAN drink! Love this place! They have the most whiskeys in the world! Guinness Book of

5 out of 5 place was amazing any whiskey you could want, cool atmosphere. The food was great, highly recommend giving it a try. More

  • Jonny Eom

I think this place is good for the vibe, the chill dark atmosphere. The drinks themselves fall pretty short of expectations.

  • Jason Betts

We sat at the bar & where pleasantly surprised by there 4-7pm Happy Hour & Drinks specials. We even got shirts.
