Review from Earth & Fork: Village Whiskey's slightly small interior is decked out with a retro bar with reclaimed mirrors and wood with modern accents and clean designs. The bar's walls are stocked with what seems like hundreds of spirits, many of which are whiskey. The design and layout is really comfortable and casual, striving for a old time, neighborhood bar feel and a more modern Garces dining design.
