We were at the Cotee River Bike Fest and stopped in at Whiskey River on the Water for a drink and to fill our bellies. The bar changed owners and management this summer. If you haven’t been in this is a GREAT spot for those who love to ride. The food was delicious we tried the burger and Whiskey River Bourbon Shrimp! They also have an in-house smoker and produce their own Whiskey River BBQ and sauce. Chef Eric has a full menu of delectable entrees and appetizers including bacon wrapped scallops, Whiskey River Bourbon Pasta laced with shrimp and scallop in a bourbon butter cream sauce, wings and salads. Something for every taste bud!

What sets this bar apart is when they say “on the water” it is! They have inside AC seating, large outdoor under roof seating and then open on the dock seating with a beautiful view of the Cotee River. Add to that music daily and 14 TVs with the NFL Ticket. Our bartender Natalie was adorable and hard working. She let us know they have bucket specials during college and pro football game with Bud, Bud Lite and Ultra on Saturdays for $10.99 or Bud Lite, Shock Top or Mic Ultra draft pitchers for $7.99! On Sundays it switches to Yuengling, Miller and Coors buckets for $10.99 or pitchers for $7.99! They also have Happy Hour Monday through Friday 2-6pm.

If you are looking for a spot to host a holiday event they are booking now. They will be open on Thanksgiving evening but closed Monday and Tuesday for Christmas. Call now 727-849-2180.
