I absolutely love this place!! The bartenders were amazing. My wife and I were celebrating our 2 year anniversary and they gave us a complimentary first round! I had the smoked old fashioned and my wife had smoked apple mule and both were wonderful. My wife had the chicken sandwich with fries and it was so dam good lol I had the cheeseburger salad woth goat cheese ranch and it was simple but tasted wonderful. So many selections of burbon/whisky, scotch, and beer! The bathrooms were clean aswell as the restaurant. They have outside seating and there open late which it kinda turns into a little club vibe. I highly recommend to stop at this restaurant every time your at the downtown mall.

We went here for the live music. Special shout out to Matthew O’Donnell for the invigorating energy and amazing music. Spent hours in the place just for the music. Its mind blowing how many instruments he played! Its ljke a magician who gets out a different instrument every two minutes.
Unexpectedly, the food was also quite nice. The vegetarian burger might feel slightly dry, but less so than most other american burgers. The hummus and veggies were great and healthy. Although, I wonder from the huge size of the veggies whether they are gmo. The hummus tho has a brilliant taste!
Moreover, one of the most lively place in the downtown. Love it!

I’ve lived in Charlottesville for nearly five years and have been to The Whiskey Jar a handful of times. It never disappoints. Excellent cocktail menu, always excellent service and good food. Whenever I have out-of-town guests, I make sure they get the local flavor and Whiskey Jar is always on the itinerary.

I’ve been here before to go to the bar and enjoy live music, but didn’t realize they had an entire robust menu! On top of that, the food is excellent!
Got the beet salad and it was very good! Going to try the chicken sandwich next and will update if I do.

The bourbon selection is pretty fantastic at the whiskey jar and the staff were great. We stopped in on the way through town and had a few local brews and had some dinner. On a recommendation from the server, I got the BLT and it was unquestionably the best one I’ve ever had. The kids had grilled cheese and they were also raving about it. We had to wait about 25 minutes to get a seat outside, but that’s probably because we showed up around 6pm on a Friday night. I’ll definitely stop here the next time I’m in Charlottesville.

Fantastic food, attentive service.
It’s four, not five stars because I was a little disappointed that the server didn’t inform us he had auto’d our party. There were six of us on a single check, so the sever was within his rights to auto, but when you do that, you have a responsibility to inform the customer.
Food was extraordinary, though. Excellent shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked catfish, tasty gumbo. Whiskey sour was also on point, perfect balance of sour and whiskey. Beer selection is okay, cocktails are better.

The restaurant is so cute and the food is amazing! I absolutely love the cornbread and have to get it every time. I’m also a huge fan of the blackened catfish. This past time I got the oyster poboy with the broccoli salad and both of those were so good.

Dining at The Whiskey Jar was an experience that left a lasting impression. From the moment of arrival, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful meal. The staff provided excellent service, attentive without being intrusive, friendly, and eager to ensure everything was perfect. Their genuine hospitality made the visit feel relaxed and personal, which is rare in many restaurants today.
The real highlight, however, was the food. The menu showcased Southern-inspired flavors with a modern touch, and every bite delivered. The catfish sandwich stood out among the offerings it was perfectly cooked, lightly crisp on the outside, and tender within. The seasoning was on point, allowing the natural flavor of the catfish to shine through, complemented by fresh toppings and a soft, toasted bun. The side dishes were equally impressive, especially the fries, which were golden and perfectly salted.
The overall dining experience felt both comfortable and elevated a blend of casual charm and culinary quality. The Whiskey Jar is the kind of place that invites you to linger a little longer, savoring the balance of good service, excellent food, and genuine Southern warmth. It’s definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Good experience with attentive staff and decent food – nothing to write home about. The Wilson sandwich was tasty and the house salad was good (w/ shrimp). The drink were a bit strong for my taste.
