Whiskey River Bar & Grill 1850 Waukegan Road, Glenview, IL 60025

"Nestled within the confines of the North Shore, Whiskey River Bar & Grill, once considered a beacon of conviviality, regrettably falls short of its lofty aspirations. Despite its earnest endeavors to cultivate an ambiance of repose, the atmosphere within exudes a palpable disarray, leaving patrons yearning for the promised haven that remains elusive. The gastronomic expedition, exemplified by a rather lackluster chicken sandwich, proves more disheartening than delectable. The eggs benedict, intended to orchestrate a symphony of flavors, falter in execution, rendering a dish devoid of the anticipated culinary finesse. The vaunted free parking lot, once hailed as a gracious gesture, now pales in comparison to the overall lackluster experience. In an era where societal connections are often forged through digital mediums, Whiskey River falters in fostering a genuine sense of unity, lacking the magnetic allure necessary to beckon patrons back for an encore. Under new custodianship, the delicate dance between tradition and innovation is executed with an unfortunate misstep. Subtle metamorphoses attempt to breathe new life into the establishment, yet the soul of Whiskey River appears to undergo a transformation more cosmetic than substantive. The erstwhile vibrant community hub now languishes, bereft of the charm that once rendered it a second home for discerning connoisseurs. In the symphony of Glenview’s gastronomic narrative, Whiskey River Bar & Grill emerges as a somewhat lackluster movement. The unspoken communion of humanity and the simple joys of epicurean indulgence become eclipsed by an aura of mediocrity. This establishment, rather than embodying the promised sanctuary, assumes the role of a forgettable interlude in the epicurean journey, a reminder that culinary memories are better forged elsewhere. For those seeking authenticity, an impeccable gin libation, or a truly memorable repast, Whiskey River may prove a disappointing detour on Waukegan Road."

"I went to Whiskey River and the bartender made me the perfect gin martini. She was attentive and made the stay incredible. The crispy chicken sandwich was very crispy. I already want it again. I crave it all the time. A new addiction. I will become a regular visitor at this bar. What they have going on is working. Bet."

"The bar theme is great. The true staple to the bar is the the bartender Athena, as a person who travels regularly and experiences establishments on a regular basis I can confidently say she's is unrivaled in her profession and drives the business. Not only does she know all the regular's drinks, she makes them feel like they are walking into their second home and makes new people feel welcome. Athena is this bars differential advantage."
