We had a large group of more than a dozen people. The staff did an excellent job serving us all. Everyone said their food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. It was fun watching the automatic whiskey rack rotating like a train set above our heads. Fun place with unique dishes!

Whiskey and Oyster in Alexandria, VA, is a hidden gem for steak lovers and cocktail enthusiasts. The steak was undeniably great, cooked to perfection with a juicy and flavorful center. It was a true carnivorous delight. Speaking of delights, their old fashioned cocktail was a classic done right. The blend of whiskey, bitters, and sugar was expertly balanced, creating a smooth and robust drink. The ambiance of the restaurant was sophisticated yet relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Whiskey and Oyster is a must-visit for those seeking a delectable steak and a well-crafted cocktail.

I am a regular to this place. The menu has plenty of options. I like to try new things but there are also many items I like to try revisit. The oysters are the best in the area. I enjoy the duck spring rolls, mussels and lobster. Service is consistently good and very clean nautical atmosphere.

Stopped by when they had an oyster special going on which you could get with the order of drinks. The oysters were medium with one variety being more salty and the other more sweet. They were not very meaty (as you should expect this time of year) but I like them this way. Good drink selection and I would recommend the old fashion at the top of the menu. My wife enjoyed the Rose cocktail as well. Reasonable beer selection and the calamari app. was also very good with good sauces. Not cheap but reasonably busy even on a Monday afternoon.

Had the most fabulous birthday dinner on Wednesday, which has half-price specials on their extensive whiskey selection. You can not go wrong with the hot mess burger, beignet, and fish & chips! The only thing better than their food was the service!

Stopped in for oysters while I was in town. Sat at the bar and Mason made outstanding suggestions on oysters and hazy IPAs. He was so fun to chat with, but the star of the show were some of the freshest, best tasting oysters! I tried the Dixon and Backcreek, both outstanding!

Huge whisky list, had an old fashioned, good… Not the best I have had. The hush puppies are almost desert, sweet not savory, nothing in them but dough. They are served with Cinnamon sugar honey spread. I had the blackened catfish sandwich. Very tasty, I like it too be slightly more blackened, but the chr of fish was very fresh. The are monster cuts, but also tasty.

Beautiful establishment, Ed was a great bartender and host! The Oysters are the BEST I’ve ever tasted! My girlfriend and I was visiting the area and went back just to enjoy the oysters and of course Ed was very welcoming!

I visited Whiskey & Oyster on a girl’s weekend trip and was not disappointed. We specifically wanted seafood on this evening, and both ordered the rockfish (she got the Carribbean and I got the Wild). The fish was fresh, perfectly tender and seasoned wonderfully. We also ordered drinks from the cocktail menu (hers was the Mango Mask Off and mine was the Best Old Fashioned). Drinks were fantastic and the bar staff is great. I ordered the bread pudding – it was massive and although we tried, we couldn’t finish it all. The berry compote and fresh whipped cream really put it over the top on the tastiness scale.
