Jordan Rodriguez
8 months agoIf I could give Briana a million stars, 5 isn’t enough. I’ve never had a server with her level of personality and charisma. From the moment she greeted us to the very end of the night, she made the whole experience unforgettable. She’s funny, attentive, and honestly, easy on the eyes too if you know what I mean. Definitely bringing my boys back here. Blondie made the night.

6 months agoI literally live 4 minutes from this place and dont EVER do local places. However, I went out for my friends birthday on Friday, which was a happy hour vybe (she likes early) and I actually liked it! We started out with Lauren helping us out she was great, but ended up with Brianna who is everything love her. Our bill was literally $750 and we didn't care! We will be back for sure and I like the dj as well, he was very versatile.

7 months agoHad an amazing experience at this bar! The vibe was loud on, drinks were crafted, and the food was really good! We were really impressed with the flavors. The lomo saltado was packed with flavor and the smash burger was so good. I got a side of the yellow sauce that was very yummy .Highly recommend checking it out for a great night out and good drinks.

7 months agodecided to come in with the guys for Football Sunday. We sat at the front round tables — great view of the TVs and plenty of space. The experience honestly wouldn’t have been the same without Briana. She was fast, attentive, and super friendly, keeping up perfectly even with the busy game-day crowd. Drinks were always full, food came out just right, and she checked in at the perfect times without hovering. If you’re planning to come for Football Sunday, definitely ask for Briana she’s the reason we’ll be coming back yet again.

7 months agoI don’t usually write reviews, but I had to this time! Came to The Whiskey Priest for the first time to watch the game, and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the customer service was a 10/10. Our server Daniel was the best super friendly, made sure we had a great time, and even recommended his favorite dishes and drinks. Everything he suggested was perfect! Definitely coming back and hoping to get Daniel again!

3 months agoPaola is hands down one of the best bartenders you’lll find at a sports bar. Super friendly, fast, and always brings great energy no matter how busy it gets. Drinks were perfectt and amazing. If Paola’s behind the bar, you already know you’re in good hands. Definitely coming back. -Vmoney 😎

10 months agoThis spot opened in my downtown and I was so excited because I’d always heard great things about their other location—and it definitely lived up to the hype. I’ve been here twice so far. The first visit was right after they opened, during happy hour (which has an amazing menu, by the way), and it was calm and peaceful. The second time, I came with a friend around 7 PM and the place was popping! The music was on point and the vibe was so good. We left around 10 PM since they were showing a fight on TV and it got packed, but honestly, it added to the energy. We ordered the sampler, which is a must—so much food for such a good price. If you’re unsure about appetizers, just get it. It’s a little bit of everything. Overall, 11/10 would recommend. Way better than Aura (the previous spot). This place is going to thrive.

3 months agoPaola was hands down the highlight of our night at The Whiskey Priest in Hackensack. From the moment we sat down, she was welcoming, attentive, and on top of everything. Her drinks were perfectly made, and her energy really set the vibe for the whole bar. She checked in consistently without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed. She told us about the food which was also amazing glad we ordered thanks to her love the burgers there. Great service like that is hard to find — we’ll definitely be back because of her! - Rohit and Ale

7 months agoThis spot is easily one of my favorite bars around, great food, great drinks, and an even better atmosphere. The kitchen stays open until 12 AM, and the bar keeps the energy going until 2 AM, which is perfect for late nights. A huge shoutout to Lauren and Jessica, their hospitality is unmatched, and they know how to make a damn good drink! They’re easily my favorite bartenders. The weekday vibe is nice and chill, but come the weekend, this place turns up They always have the games on, especially when the Knicks or Giants are playing and the energy is incredible. Overall, just an awesome spot with great people, good vibes, and it’s close to home. Highly recommend!
